Proper nutrition is vital for maintaining good health for all people across their lifespan, especially children and mothers, who are especially vulnerable due to their specific nutrient needs. Despite the necessity of improved nutrition for these groups, some members do not fully meet their recommended daily micronutrient needs, a challenge exacerbated by different socioeconomic, cultural, and communal constraints resulting in malnutrition.

Background: Perinatal growth and nutrition have been shown to be determinants in the programming of different tissues, such as adipose tissue, predisposing individuals to metabolic alterations later in life. Previous studies have documented an increased risk of metabolic disturbances and low-grade inflammation in prepubertal children with a history of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR). The aim of this study was to evaluate possible alterations resulting from impaired growth during early childhood and their impact on young adult health.

24-h urinary free cortisol (UFC) measurements are fundamental in the diagnosis and follow-up of Cushinǵs syndrome (CS) and immunoassays (IA) are the most widely used tests for its quantification in clinical laboratory practice. However, their suitability has been questioned mainly due to their limitations concerning analytical specificity. The aim of this research project was to evaluate a novel algorithm for CS diagnosis and follow-up in the clinical laboratory, based on the combination of IA tests with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for UFC quantification.
