“…The evolution of the mother’s body has created mechanisms that adjust the amount of fat in milk to the needs of the child [ 91 ]. Knowing that breast milk contains long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which form the major 34 structures of 35 neuronal membranes, it is important to highlight that it could play a critical role in human nervous system functioning [ 92 , 93 ]. Firstly, there is considerable evidence linking breastfeeding with better performance in intelligence tests [ 94 ].…”

Infancy Dietary Patterns, Development, and Health: An Extensive Narrative Review

Correct dietary patterns are important for a child’s health from birth to adulthood. Understanding a child’s health as a state of entire physical, mental, and social well-being is essential. However, reaching adulthood in a complete health proper state is determined by feeding and dietary habits during preconception, pregnancy, or children infancy. Different factors, such as the mother’s lifestyle, culture, or socioeconomic status, are crucial during all these phases. In this review, we aimed to assess the long-term associations between infancy dietary patterns and health and their influence on development and growth. To reach this objective, a consensus critical review was carried out using primary sources such as scientific articles, and secondary bibliographic indexes, databases, and web pages. PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar were the tools used to complete this research. We found that high-income countries promote high-calorie foods and, consequently, obesity problems among children are rising. However, undernutrition is a global health issue concerning children in low- and middle-income countries; thus, parental socioeconomic status in early life is essential to children’s health and development, showing that biological, social, and environmental influences are increased risk factors for chronic diseases. This narrative review is aimed to collect evidence for early nutritional intervention and future disease prevention.

Zusammenfassungω-3-Fettsäuren sind für die Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen von großer Bedeutung. Supplementieren Schwangere Eicosapentaensäure und Docosahexaensäure, treten im Kleinkindalter deutlich weniger IgE-vermittelte Krankheiten wie Nahrungsmittelallergien und Neurodermitis auf. Eine Schutzwirkung vor Asthma ist auch im späteren Leben zu beobachten. Die Gabe von ω-3-Fettsäuren während der Schwangerschaft unterstützt Gehirnentwicklung und Kognition. Bei Kindern mit ADHS zeigten sich unter ω-3 hochsignifikant weniger Hyperaktivität und Aufmerksamkeitsstörungen, bei Kindern mit Leseschwäche verbesserte sich die Lesefähigkeit signifikant. Die Therapie mit maritimen Fettsäuren reduziert bei Kindern mit Herzrhythmusstörungen die Häufigkeit von Extrasystolen und bei Morbus Crohn die Anzahl der Schübe. Für die Wirkung ist eine ausreichende Dosis EPA/DHA entscheidend, idealerweise spiegelgesteuert.

“…Environmental factors can also have an impact on the course of the disease. There is some evidence that insufficient diet and chronic deficiencies of iron, zinc and magnesium can deepen symptoms of ADHD in children and the intake of low glycemic food can help to reduce the symptoms as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids [14,17]. Beyens et al made a review that contained forty years of research showing that there is correlation between children's media use and ADHD-related symptoms [15].…”

Introduction: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for many years has been thought to occur mainly in the male population. However, recent studies and change in professionals' perception allowed us to understand that there are significant differences between predominant features related to the gender of the affected person, which changes our look at how the condition may exhibit in women. Current state of knowledge: In this review, we provide a general look at the disorder, its characteristics in the young and adult population, differences in symptoms and finally - how it may prove difficult to diagnose this condition among women. Several factors that could contribute to development of ADHD were listed in literature, among them genetics, prenatal period, diet and parents’ emotional wellbeing. Concerning women, they are considered to internalize their psychological struggles, such as depression and stress more often than men, rendering them more susceptible toward suicidal behaviors and making diagnosis harder. Conclusions: When it comes to diagnosis in women, the main difficulty is that the symptoms are presented in a different way compared to men suffering from the same disorder. Because of those reasons, it’s harder to make a proper diagnosis. Therefore, further studies, taking account of affected one’s gender needs to be conducted, while medical professionals have to be more cautious.
