Early Life Nutrition and Individual Healthy Development
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of this Special Issue is to publish original research and systematic reviews that report the effect of early-life nutrition on an individual’s healthy development. Early-life nutrition, environment and interactions with genetics have important effects on an individual's life-long health, including their physical development, neurobehavioral development, and even, long-term chronic disease risk. We aim to bring together a selection of articles understanding the dose-effect relationship of food's active ingredients on maternal and infant health, exploring suitable dietary patterns for pregnant women and infants, developing better food technologies and formulating more favorable diet policies that can improve healthy development in life.
Prof. Dr. Yajun Xu
