This longitudinal analysis in Australian women evaluated change in diet quality and food and nutrient intakes from the third trimester of pregnancy to 1-year postpartum with comparison to national nutrition recommendations. Associations between diet quality, sociodemographic and health characteristics were also investigated.
Food allergy affects families' quality of life, can be lifelong and life-threatening, urging the identification of early modifiable risk factors. Formula feeding in the first days of life may increase the risk of cow's milk allergy, a risk often attributed to cow's milk allergens exposure. Early formula feeding also reduces the colostrum intake, the first 3 days' milk, which is rich in bioactive compounds critical for immune and gut health. This study investigates whether partial colostrum feeding increases the risk of food allergy beyond cow's milk.
We discuss how the choice of probiotic strains, timing and duration of administration can critically influence the outcome due to different effects on immune modulation and gut microbiota composition
Maternal n-3 LCPUFA supplementation did not provide sustained effects on postnatal oxidative stress and telomere length as observed in the offspring
Review treatment and primary prevention studies, recent meta-analyses, and discuss the current understanding of the role of probiotics in this context
The microbiome is intimately connected to diet, nutrition, and other lifestyle variables
A better understanding of nutritional programming of immune health may lead to dietary strategies that reduce the burden of many inflammatory diseases
The implications of the microbiome extend to virtually every branch of medicine, biopsychosocial and environmental sciences
Develop evidence-based recommendations about the use of prebiotics in the prevention of allergy
Elevated egg-specific Th2 cytokine responses were established prior to egg ingestion at 4months and were not significantly altered by introduction of egg
