Maternal Nutrition from Preconception, Through Pregnancy and Lactation
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optimal maternal nutrition is crucial for ensuring healthy pregnancy outcomes, influencing both maternal well-being and fetal development. The proposed Topic, "Maternal Nutrition from Preconception, Through Pregnancy and Lactation", seeks contributions that explore the multifaceted relationship between nutritional factors and pregnancy, including preconception care, gestational nutrition, and lactation, dietary patterns, nutrient deficiencies, supplementation strategies and probiotic use, microbiomes, pregnancy-related metabolic disorders, and long-term effects on offspring health. We welcome research from diverse disciplines, such as obstetrics, midwifery, pediatrics, nutrition science, endocrinology, and public health, aiming to foster a multidisciplinary perspective. Clinical trials, systematic reviews, basic research, and epidemiological studies are all encouraged.
