Understanding the impact of maternal and infant nutrition on infant/child health in the first 5 years of life
EF 2012-13
Résumé
Maternal nutrition significantly influences fetal growth and development. Maternal nutrition also interacts with genetic factors of the mother and fetus and may increase infants risk of adverse health outcomes including excess body fat, abnormal blood lipids, blood sugar allergy and asthma. Feeding patterns of infants in the early years also influence the development of these adverse health outcomes. We seek to investigate the influence of maternal and infant nutrition on newborn, infant, and child health outcomes by studying diverse populations (White Caucasians, South Asians, Aboriginal people) of pregnant mothers living in Canada in order to develop recommendations for maternal nutrition in pregnancy and feeding patterns in infancy.

Abstract
Maternal nutrition significantly influences fetal growth and development. Maternal nutrition also interacts with genetic factors of the mother and fetus and may increase infants risk of adverse health outcomes including excess body fat, abnormal blood lipids, blood sugar allergy and asthma. Feeding patterns of infants in the early years also influence the development of these adverse health outcomes. We seek to investigate the influence of maternal and infant nutrition on newborn, infant, and child health outcomes by studying diverse populations (White Caucasians, South Asians, Aboriginal people) of pregnant mothers living in Canada in order to develop recommendations for maternal nutrition in pregnancy and feeding patterns in infancy.
