Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite significant improvements in maternal and infant health globally in recent years, the impact of dietary patterns and lifestyles on maternal–infant health still requires close attention, especially for pregnant women and infants living in low- and middle-income countries or regions. The dietary patterns and lifestyles of mothers during pregnancy not only affect their own health through metabolism, but also have a potential impact on the health of their fetuses. This Special Issue will focus on the impact of dietary patterns and lifestyles on maternal–infant health, gathering and showcasing the latest reviews and original articles, and seeking strategies to promote health during pregnancy and early infant development. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: the importance of dietary patterns during pregnancy; the impact of specific nutrients on maternal health and fetal development; the role of lifestyle factors in maternal and infant health; improvements in pregnancy complications through dietary patterns.
We sincerely invite researchers, clinicians and public health experts in maternal–infant health, nutrition, public health, pediatrics and related fields to contribute to this Special Issue. We look forward to your high-quality papers to explore and share the latest findings and insights in this field.
