Article Synopsis
- Nutrition during pregnancy is crucial for fetal development, especially regarding omega-3, which is primarily obtained from fatty fish.
- A study involving 657 women assessed the impact of maternal fish intake during pregnancy on their children's cardiovascular health from birth to age 11-12.
- Findings indicated no significant cardiovascular differences in kids based on their mothers' fish consumption, although higher 1st trimester canned tuna intake was linked to slightly increased arterial stiffness.
(1) Background: Lutein and zeaxanthin (L&Z) are essential dietary nutrients that are a crucial component of the human macula, contributing to visual functioning. They easily cross the placental barrier, so that retinal deposition commences during foetal development. This study aims to assess associations between maternal L&Z intake during pregnancy and offspring visual function at 11-12 years.

Overweight, obesity, and accelerated growth during early childhood have been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in later life. Few studies have assessed whether trajectories of accelerated growth in early childhood are associated with preclinical cardiovascular measurements.

Objective: We evaluated the association between multiple urban exposures and childhood obesity outcomes and weight-related behaviours.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including 2213 children aged 9-12 years in Sabadell, Spain.
Background: At the COVID-19 spring 2020 pandemic peak in Spain, prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a cohort of 578 randomly selected health care workers (HCWs) from Hospital Clínic de Barcelona was 11.2%.
Methods: A follow-up survey 1 month later (April-May 2020) measured infection by rRT-PCR and IgM, IgA, and IgG to the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein by Luminex.
