A recent study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health explored the impact of prenatal diet quality on infant growth from birth to 24 months. The study found that a higher Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score, indicative of a healthier diet, was associated with reduced odds of large for gestational age (LGA) and rapid infant growth, both risk factors for obesity. Conversely, a lower Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern (EDIP) score, indicating a less inflammatory diet, was linked to higher odds of LGA and rapid infant growth. The findings suggest that prenatal diet quality may play a role in shaping infant growth patterns and could inform obesity prevention strategies. [Extracted from the article] |
