Mediterranean diet abidance and mindfulness-based stress reduction during pregnancy effectively improves pediatric neurodevelopment.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaAug 28 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers investigated whether lifestyle interventions such as Mediterranean diet abidance and mindfulness-based stress reduction during pregnancy could effectively improve pediatric neurodevelopment at two years of age.
About the study In the present study, researchers evaluated the impacts of stress reduction and dietary interventions among pregnant females on neurodevelopment in their children aged two years. The MBSR group participants underwent an eight-week stress-lowering program tailored to pregnant individuals, and the regular care group received pregnancy care as per standard protocols.
The present study outcomes were scores for the motor, language, cognitive, motor, adaptive behavior, and social-emotional Bayley-III domains, evaluated by two trained physiologists. The outcome measure was neurodevelopment at 2.0 years, based on Bayley-III scores. Results In total, 626 pediatric individuals [333 males and 293 females] participated in the study, among whom the mean age was 25 months. Baseline characteristics were identical among the intervention groups. High adherence was observed among 177 individuals in the dietary intervention group and 137 in the MBSR group.
