“…As for any study, our work had some limitations. Although pre-pregnancy FFQ is the most commonly used method to assess dietary intake prior to pregnancy (100) , the recall bias associated with its use might limit the ability to definitively distinguish between pre-pregnancy and prenatal diet. Also, the pre-pregnancy FFQ that we used in the APrON study did not capture data on many items that contribute to the final DII score.…”

Depression is a common prenatal psychological complication. We aimed to investigate if maternal pre-pregnancy diet can impact prenatal depressive symptoms, and the mediating role of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and inflammation. We used data (N=1141) from the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) cohort study. We calculated Mediterranean diet adherence (MED) and dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores using data from pre-pregnancy food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). In the 3rd-trimester, we assessed depressive symptoms using Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), and inflammation through serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. BMI was calculated from self-reported pre-pregnancy weight. Race-stratified analyses (white and people of color) were run. We observed no association between MED or DII tertiles and depressive symptoms. However, white participants in the MED tertile-3 had lower risk of depression (EPDS<10) compared to tertile-1 (OR=0.56, 95% CI, 0.33, 0.95). White individuals in MED tertile-3 had lower BMI (MD=-1.08; 95%CI, -1.77, -0.39), and CRP (MD=-0.53; 95%CI, -0.95, -0.11) than tertile-1, and those in DII tertile-2 (MD=0.44;95%CI, 0.03, 0.84) and tertile-3 (MD=0.42; 95%CI, 0.01, 0.83) had higher CRP than tertile-1. Among people of color, neither MED nor DII were associated with BMI or CRP, but BMI was negatively associated with depressive symptoms (β=-0.25, 95%CI, -0.43, -0.06). We found no association between diet and depressive symptoms through BMI or CRP, in either race. Pre-pregnancy diet might affect the risk of prenatal depression in a race-specific way. Further research is required to explore the racial differences in the association between maternal diet and prenatal depressive symptoms/depression risk.

Background: Human milk (HM) is recognized as an ideal source of nutrition for newborns; as a result, its multiple bioactive molecules can support the growth of healthy newborns and reduce the risk of mortality and diseases such as asthma, respiratory infections, diabetes (type 1 and 2), and gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Furthermore, it can reduce the severity of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants. Moreover, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) present in breast milk show an immunomodulatory, prebiotic, and neurodevelopmental effect that supports the microbiota–gut–brain axis. Material and methods: This study examined the state-of-the-art research, using keywords such as “breastfeeding”, “human milk oligosaccharides”, “microbiota–gut–brain axis”, “infants”, and “malnutrition”. The literature review was conducted by selecting articles between 2013 and 2024, as the most recent ones. The databases used were Web Science, PubMed, and Scopus. Results: We found multiple studies examining the composition of HM and infant formula (IF). However, further longitudinal studies and randomized control trials (RCTs) are needed to better understand the clinical outcomes that bioactive components exert on healthy and hospitalized children and how, in conditions of malnutrition, it is necessary to support the growth of the newborn. Conclusions: In this review, we affirm the importance of human milk and, through it, the modulation of the microbiota and the neuroprotective role in newborns, determining the health of the following years of life.
