AI Article Synopsis

  • Overnutrition and undernutrition during pregnancy significantly impact both pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, affecting health well into adulthood.
  • Various studies suggest that maternal nutrition during fetal development can lead to a higher risk of conditions like cardiovascular issues, metabolic disorders, and mental illnesses later in life.
  • This review aims to update current knowledge on how maternal nutrition affects noncommunicable diseases in adulthood and discusses the leading theories surrounding these effects.

Article Abstract

Overnutrition and undernutrition during pregnancy are closely related to pregnancy outcome as well as neonatal and perinatal outcomes. This and more, from various published data it seems that the effect of maternal nutrition during fetal life stretches far beyond the neonatal period, and influences health issues in adulthood, from cardiovascular and metabolic disorders through mental illnesses. The purpose of this review is to update about overnutrition and undernutrition during pregnancy and their effect on noncommunicable adulthood diseases, and about leading theories on the subject.
