Association between household food insecurity and stunting in children aged 0−59 months: Systematic review and meta‐analysis of cohort studies

Maternal and Child Nutrition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 20(2)

Published: Jan. 9, 2024

Abstract Household food insecurity (HFI) during childhood is associated with poor dietary diversity and malnutrition, placing children's growth at risk. Children disorders, such as stunting, are more likely to have cognition educational performance, lower economic status, an increased risk of nutrition‐related chronic diseases in adulthood. Our study aimed systematically review conduct a meta‐analysis cohort studies investigating the association between HFI stunting children aged 0−59 months. Peer‐reviewed grey literature were searched electronic databases no language or date restrictions. Two reviewers independently assessed for pre‐established eligibility criteria. Data extracted using standard protocol. Random‐effects models used, I 2 > 40% indicated high heterogeneity across studies. We used Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development, Evaluation system assess quality evidence. Nine comprising 46,300 included. Approximately 80% ( n = 7) found positive stunting. Pooled odds ratio was 1.00 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.87−1.14; : 76.14%). The pooled hazard moderate severe 1.02 CI: 0.84−1.22; 85.96%). Due heterogeneity, evidence very low. Individual showed 0–59 months; however, this not sustained analysis, possibly because

Reducing the Risk of Pre-Eclampsia in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Using a Combination of Pregnancy Screening, Lifestyle, and Medical Management Strategies

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(6), P. 1774 - 1774

Published: March 20, 2024

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multisystem disorder that presents with variety of phenotypes involving metabolic, endocrine, reproductive, and psychological symptoms signs. Women PCOS are at increased risk pregnancy complications including implantation failure, miscarriage, gestational diabetes, fetal growth restriction, preterm labor, pre-eclampsia (PE). This may be attributed to the presence specific susceptibility features associated before during pregnancy, such as chronic systemic inflammation, insulin resistance (IR), hyperandrogenism, all which have been an complications. Many reversible following lifestyle interventions diet exercise, pregnant women healthy found lower complications, PE. narrative synthesis summarizes evidence investigating PE role nutritional factors in PCOS. The findings suggest beneficial aspects management PCOS, recommended evidence-based international guidelines, extend improved outcomes.

Current evidence around key underrepresented women’s health topics in pregnancy and postpartum nutrition: a narrative review

Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 8, 2025

Adequate nutrition during pregnancy and postpartum is critical to maternal child health, but there often a missing focus around health outcomes specifically for women. Women’s includes sex-specific biological attributes socially constructed gender roles framing behaviours practices. This narrative review aims highlight key areas where women’s has been underrepresented in research. Current evidence research gaps are discussed nutritional requirements lactation, mortality morbidity risk factors, preconception nutrition, gendered cultural norms inequities access nutritious foods postpartum. Important future include strengthening empirical pregnant lactating populations, the relationship between iron status, anaemia morbidities, linkages nutrient status among women adolescent girls outcomes, recovery, long-term strength-based practices that can support adequate nutrition. There an ongoing need research, measure ensure creation of evidence-base on both sex gender-based datasets.

ABSTRACT Background The present study aimed to evaluate the adherence nutritional counselling goals among pregnant women with overweight and its effect on perinatal outcomes. Methods A randomised clinical trial was conducted in 350 adult (BMI 25–29.9 kg/m 2 ). were assigned control (CG = 166) or intervention groups (IG 169).

Maternal consumption of urbanized diet compromises early-life health in association with gut microbiota

Gut Microbes, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(1)

Published: April 2, 2025

Urbanization has significantly transformed dietary habits worldwide, contributing to a globally increased burden of non-communicable diseases and altered gut microbiota landscape. However, it is often overlooked that the adverse effects these changes can be transmitted from mother offspring during early developmental stages, subsequently influencing predisposition various later in life. This review aims delineate detrimental maternal urban-lifestyle diet (urbanized diet) on early-life health assembly, provide mechanistic insights how urbanized mediates mother-to-offspring transfer bioactive substances both intrauterine extrauterine thus affects fetal neonatal development. Moreover, we also further propose framework for developing microbiome-targeted precision nutrition strategies specifically pregnant lactating women. The establishment such knowledge help develop proactive preventive measures beginning life, ultimately reducing long-term risk disease improving public outcomes.
