Summary: This study investigates the associations between maternal dietary scores and placental outcomes during early pregnancy, as well as the potential sexual dimorphism. The results suggest that maternal diet quality, inflammatory potential, and antioxidant status are correlated with placental weight. Female fetuses may be more sensitive to glucose levels, while male fetuses may be more affected by inflammation and overall diet quality.

Summary: The Nutrient-Rich Food Index 9.3 and the energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index can be used to assess the dietary quality and inflammatory potential of pregnant women, with a strong inverse correlation found between the two. Intake of vegetables and fruits was associated with higher dietary quality and lower inflammatory potential among pregnant Japanese women.

Summary: Contrary to the initial hypothesis, maternal obesity was found to be associated with lower placental IL-6 expression and macrophage/leukocyte infiltration, as well as lower placental expression of GLUT1 and SNAT1-2, lower placental vessel density, and lower levels of placental leptin and human chorionic gonadotropin production. These results indicate that the placenta is a flexible organ that can optimize fetal growth, and a better understanding of placental adaptation is needed to determine fetal outcomes in cases of maternal obesity.

Summary: Adverse environmental factors in early life can lead to metabolic programming and increased risk of adult diseases. Studies on placental transporters in relation to idiopathic birth weight alterations and maternal obesity are limited. Our study highlights the importance of placental programming in birth weight and neonatal metabolic outcomes.

Summary: Inflammation is a significant factor in cancer development, and the role of diet in modulating inflammation is important. This study aimed to investigate the association between diets with a higher inflammatory potential, as measured by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), and cancer development in rural post-menopausal women. The findings showed that participants who had a larger increase in their pro-inflammatory E-DII scores over four years had a higher risk of developing cancer. This suggests that shifting to a more pro-inflammatory diet pattern may increase the odds of cancer development.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the relationship between the dietary inflammatory potential and birth outcomes in pregnant women. The results showed that proinflammatory diets during pregnancy were associated with reduced birth weight and an increased risk of low birth weight, preterm birth, and birth defects. These findings can inform potential prevention strategies for pregnant women in China.

Summary: This study investigated pro-inflammatory markers and epigenetic risk factors in the saliva of obese children. The findings suggest that CRP concentrations and methylation status in saliva can be used as non-invasive methods for early detection of non-communicable diseases in children and adolescents.

Summary: This study analyzed the predictors of maternal dietary quality and inflammatory potential during pregnancy. Higher maternal age, education, household income, and physical activity during pregnancy were associated with better dietary quality and a more anti-inflammatory diet, while multiparity and smoking during pregnancy were associated with poorer dietary quality and a more proinflammatory diet. Women with obesity had poorer pregnancy dietary quality compared to women with a normal body mass index range.

Summary: This study investigated the association between maternal suboptimal diet during pregnancy and child's respiratory health, and the main results did not support the hypothesis. Higher pro-inflammatory diet during pregnancy was linked to lower forced vital capacity in children, while very low dietary quality in extreme cases may be associated with increased risk of preschool wheezing.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of an antenatal healthy lifestyle intervention on maternal C3 and CRP concentrations during pregnancy and found that the intervention did not influence these concentrations. Higher C3 concentrations were associated with gestational diabetes (GDM), while lower C3 concentrations were linked to pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH)/pre-eclampsia (PET). Maternal C3 concentrations in early pregnancy were also predictive of maternal insulin and lipid profiles.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the effects of maternal and paternal dietary quality on offspring DNA methylation. The results showed that maternal diet quality during pregnancy and paternal diet quality in the previous year were associated with offspring DNA methylation. However, no associations were found between diet inflammatory potential and DNA methylation.

Summary: The study found that parental lifestyle factors during preconception and pregnancy are associated with the future risk of child obesity. Parental smoking, body mass index, gestational weight gain, diet, physical activity, and sedentary behavior all play a role in the risk of overweight and BMI in children. These findings are important for informing early-life family-based and multi-behavioral strategies for child obesity prevention.

Summary: This study found that a plant-based diet is associated with more favorable inflammatory biomarker profiles, while an unhealthy diet is associated with the opposite. Higher scores for a healthy diet were associated with lower concentrations of C3, TNF-a, white blood cells, neutrophils, and monocytes (all P < 0.01). Higher scores for an unhealthy diet were associated with higher concentrations of C3 and TNF-a (all P < 0.01).

Summary: This study investigates the associations between active commuting and BMI and self-rated health (SRH). The results show that active commuting is associated with a decreased likelihood of obesity, especially among cyclists and those who actively travel long distances. However, no associations were found between active commuting and overweight or SRH.
