“…Those living in areas with insufficient sunlight (a primary source of vitamin D) were at risk of vitamin D deficiency (7,8). Furthermore, data on vitamin D status in neonates and infants, particularly in Asian countries, including Malaysia, are scarce (9). In Malaysia, the literature is limited to adolescent and adult populations (10)(11)(12)(13).…”

“…Attention must be given to pregnant women as vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has multiple adverse obstetric and child health outcomes (4,5,14). Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has been reported to affect fetal growth and development, which can be detrimental and may translate into pathology in later child health (9,14,15). Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is also associated with neonatal vitamin D levels (16)(17)(18).…”

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal relationship between maternal vitamin D concentrations during pregnancy and neonatal vitamin D concentrations at birth.Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort of 236 healthy pregnant women from various ethnicity in early pregnancy (≤20 weeks of pregnancy) was followed at late pregnancy (28–40 weeks of pregnancy) and birth. Maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was assessed at early pregnancy (baseline) and late pregnancy, while neonatal cord serum 25(OH)D at birth. General estimating equations (GEE) were used to analyze the longitudinal association of maternal serum 25(OH)D levels during pregnancy and neonatal cord serum 25(OH)D levels at birth with adjusting for the time exposure, maternal weight gain, ethnicity, and skin type.Results: The results showed that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D <50 nmol/L) was at 89.9, 92.2, and 96.1% in early, late pregnancy and in neonatal cord serum, respectively. The GEE analysis showed a trend that longitudinal vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy leads to lower vitamin D concentrations in neonatal cord blood (RR = 1.17; 95% CI (1.05–1.36); p = 0.04).Conclusion: Longitudinal vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy leads to vitamin D deficiency in neonates at birth. A further trial is needed to affirm this association.

“…A meta-analysis of ten cohort studies in pregnant women showed no strong association between early life vitamin D status and the risk of developing respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in infants [ 40 ]. Of the 15 original studies published since then, four produced similar results while the rest produced conflicting conclusions [ 41 – 55 ].…”

Background COVID-19 is a pandemic caused by nCoV-2019, a new beta-coronavirus from Wuhan, China, that mainly affects the respiratory system and can be modulated by nutrition. Methods This review aims to summarize the current literature on the association between dietary intake and serum levels of micronutrients, malnutrition, and dietary patterns and respiratory infections, including flu, pneumonia, and acute respiratory syndrome, with a focus on COVID-19. We searched for relevant articles in various databases and selected those that met our inclusion criteria. Results Some studies suggest that dietary patterns, malnutrition, and certain nutrients such as vitamins D, E, A, iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber may have a significant role in preventing respiratory diseases, alleviating symptoms, and lowering mortality rates. However, the evidence is not consistent and conclusive, and more research is needed to clarify the mechanisms and the optimal doses of these dietary components. The impact of omega-3 and fiber on respiratory diseases has been mainly studied in children and adults, respectively, and few studies have examined the effect of dietary components on COVID-19 prevention, with a greater focus on vitamin D. Conclusion This review highlights the potential of nutrition as a modifiable factor in the prevention and management of respiratory infections and suggests some directions for future research. However, it also acknowledges the limitations of the existing literature, such as the heterogeneity of the study designs, populations, interventions, and outcomes, and the difficulty of isolating the effects of single nutrients from the complex interactions of the whole diet.

“…Diet might affect allergic disease susceptibility because it contributes to the regulation of the immune system [ 131 ]. Many recent studies reported the effects of the Western diet [ 132 ], vitamins [ 133 , 134 ], fiber [ 135 ], and fatty acids [ 136 , 137 ] on the development of allergic diseases and allergic sensitization. Furthermore, ideas have changed about the ways in which the introduction of CF could influence the development of food allergies.…”

Dietary intake and nutritional status of Korean children and adolescents: a review of national survey data

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In Korea, several national cross-sectional surveys monitor the diet, nutritional status, and health status of children. This continual dedicated national surveillance system contributes to the identification of nutritional and health issues, establishment of public health policies, and development of nutrition recommendations. This paper provides recent information about the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey and describes key nationwide survey findings published in the last 5 years on infant feeding practices and the dietary intake and nutritional status of Korean infants, children, and adolescents. There have been increasing trends in children, and teenagers who skip breakfast, eat fast food, consume sugary drinks, have vitamin D deficiency, and are obese. This review will inform pediatricians, nutritionists, and other health care practitioners who track children's growth and development. It may also help researchers and policymakers identify diet-related policies and strategies for chronic disease prevention in Korean infants, children, and adolescents.
