Systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the impact of the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy on perinatal health, showing significant benefits in reducing gestational diabetes and improving birth outcomes.
By Dr. Liji Thomas, MDApr 11 2024Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. The Mediterranean diet is universally recognized as a healthy and effective aid to managing body weight and overall health. A recent study published in Advances in Nutrition explores available evidence on how consuming the MD during pregnancy affects perinatal health.
The maternal diet can significantly impact the health of both the mother and fetus during pregnancy and thereafter. Thus, an adequate and high-quality maternal diet is essential for fetal growth and metabolic and physiological homeostasis. The combined use of interventional, observational, prospective, and cross-sectional studies has increased concerns regarding the potential impact of recall bias and reverse causality. As a result, there is limited evidence on the association of the MD with metabolic health in pregnancy, which motivated the current study.
Related StoriesThe greatest uniformity was observed for the association between MD adherence and pregnancy-linked hypertension, preterm delivery, and LBW. In two studies that accounted for confounding factors, the likelihood of pregnancy-linked hypertension was reduced by 30% among those on the MD. This was also observed in non-Mediterranean countries, but not when only Mediterranean countries were included.
