“…Dietary habits and sufficient weight gain during pregnancy play an important role in the physical and mental health of expectant women as well as for the development and the later health of the child [90][91]. The rapid growth and neural development of the unborn child places special demands on the nutrition ingested by pregnant women [4,92].…”

!In recent decades, the understanding of the short and longer term effects of health-damaging behaviors and mental health problems in pregnant women and the underlying mechanisms of these behaviors and illnesses has significantly increased. In contrast, little is known about the factors affecting individual pregnant women which contribute to health-damaging behaviors and mental illness. The aim of this paper was therefore to summarize the current state of research into the consequences of nicotine and alcohol consumption, malnutrition, excessive weight gain or obesity, and impaired mental health (depression and anxiety) during pregnancy. In addition, the characteristics of pregnant women which increase their risk of developing such behaviors or mental disorders are described. A better knowledge of these risks should make it easier for clinicians to identify cases at risk early on and put measures of support in place. A review of the literature has shown that certain characteristics of pregnant women (e.g. her relationship with her partner, a previous history of mental illness prior to pregnancy) are associated with various healthdamaging behaviors as well as with impaired mental health. Affected women often show an accumulated psychosocial stress which was already present prior to the pregnancy and which may persist even after the birth of the child.

“…Pregnancy represents a well-known metabolic dynamic state in which the mother switches from the anabolic state of early pregnancy to the catabolic state of late pregnancy [10,11]. Glucose, nitrogen and lipid metabolism changes during pregnancy in response to maternal, fetal and placental signaling.…”

Multiple Micronutrient Needs in Pregnancy in Industrialized Countries

2014

Background: As nutritional deficiencies are known to lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes, a woman's nutritional status should be assessed preconceptionally with the goal of optimizing maternal, fetal and infant health. Worldwide micronutrient intakes do not fit pregnancy requirements, so that their supplementation is recommended from the beginning of pregnancy in most of the low- and middle-income countries. Conversely, data on multiple supplementation in developed countries appear few and controversial. Key Message: Although a balanced diet is generally accessible in industrialized countries, a switch to a high-fat and low-quality diet has led to an inadequate vitamin and mineral intake during pregnancy, so that recent data show the micronutrient intake and supplementation to be lower than recommended even in high-income countries, particularly for iron, folic acid, calcium and vitamin D. Conclusions: Currently, even if there is insufficient evidence to support routine supplementation at the population level, except for periconceptional folate supplementation, these results need to be evaluated at an individual level in order to avoid nutritional deficiencies and to encourage women to establish healthful dietary practices prior to conception. The new goal in industrialized countries needs to be an individualized approach that takes account of the phenotypic, genotypic and metabolic differences among individuals of the same population.

The Power of Programming and the EarlyNutrition Project: Opportunities for Health Promotion by Nutrition during the First Thousand Days of Life and Beyond

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

At The Power of Programming 2014 Conference, researchers from multiple disciplines presented and discussed the effects of early nutrition and other environmental cues during the first thousand days of life and beyond on the lifelong risk of noncommunicable diseases. This paper aims to summarize the concepts and some of the first achievements of the EarlyNutrition research project that initiated the conference.The EarlyNutrition consortium is a multinational, multidisciplinary research collaboration of researchers from Europe, the USA, and Australia. A focus is placed on exploration of the developmental origins of obesity, adiposity, and related health outcomes. Here we report on the first findings of experimental approaches, cohort studies, randomized clinical trials, and systematic reviews of current information, as well as position papers, which have all been developed with the involvement of project partners. We conclude that the EarlyNutrition project has successfully established itself during the first 2 project years as a very strong platform for collaborative research on early programming effects. The first results, available already at this early stage of the project, point to great opportunities for health prevention strategies via the implementation of dietary and lifestyle modifications, with large effect sizes. Further results are expected which should support improved recommendations and related policies for optimized nutrition and lifestyle choices before and during pregnancy, in infancy, and in early childhood.
