Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate how maternal folic acid supplementation (FAS) during pregnancy affects childhood overweight, obesity, and body fat levels in a cohort of 1479 children evaluated at an average age of 6.4 years.
- - Results showed that maternal FAS was linked to a reduced risk of childhood overweight and lower body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentages, with significant associations noted particularly for children not breastfed and whose parents had lower education levels.
- - The findings suggest that taking folic acid during pregnancy may help lower the chances of childhood overweight and obesity, highlighting the importance of nutrition during pregnancy and its long-term effects on children's health.
Background: Evidence reveals frequent sugar consumption worsens cognition in animal models, and similar effects on child development are probable. We aimed to investigate the influence of sweetened foods (SFs) on child developmental trajectories.
Methods: The prospective cohort recruited 3-month-old children in Taiwan from 1st April 2016 to 30th June 2017.
Background: Some studies have shown associations of maternal age at delivery with asthma and food allergy in offspring. However, the relationship between maternal age at delivery and allergic rhinitis is largely unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal age at delivery and allergic rhinitis in a population sample of Asian children, and to explore potential effect modifiers.
