Moderators of Food Insecurity and Diet Quality in Pairs of Mothers and Their Children.

Research has suggested that maternal diet and characteristics may influence the diet of offspring during childhood. The present cross-sectional study aimed to assess the influence of distinct maternal characteristics and the diet quality of mothers on the prevalence of household food insecurity (FI) and the diet quality of children. A total of 179 mother-child pairs were recruited from two primary schools in the metropolitan area of Thessaloniki.

Methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines for nutrition and weight gain during pregnancy: a systematic review.

Context: Ensuring a healthy pregnancy and achieving optimal gestational weight gain (GWG) are important for maternal and child health. Nevertheless, the nutritional advice provided during pregnancy is often conflicting, suggesting limited adherence to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs).

Objective: The aim of this review was to identify all CPGs on maternal nutrition and GWG and to critically appraise their methodological quality.

Dietary management of celiac disease: Revisiting the guidelines.

Objective: Medical nutrition therapy (MNT), by lifelong compliance with a gluten-free diet, is likely the only treatment for celiac disease (CD). Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) regarding the management of CD emphasize the role of MNT over other treatment options. The aim of the present study was to review and critically appraise CD-specific MNT CPGs and identify areas in need of improvement for better adherence and outcomes.
