Suboptimal maternal diet not associated with respiratory diseases in children

A suboptimal maternal diet, defined as pro-inflammatory or low quality, during pregnancy did not play an important role in the development of respiratory diseases in children, researchers reported in European Respiratory Journal.
The researchers performed a meta-analysis that included 18,326 mother-child pairs from seven European birth cohorts from the U.K., France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Poland. Researchers estimated maternal pro-inflammatory and low-quality diets using energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII) and DASH scores and collected children’s preschool wheezing
