Title:

Causal relationship between gut microbiota and risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease: a genetic correlation and bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

 

Objective: 

The study aims to explore the relationship between maternal diet during pregnancy and the development of atopic dermatitis (AD) in offspring, focusing on the potential role of specific nutrients and the gut microbiome.

 

Results: 

The research found that certain maternal dietary patterns, particularly those rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, and probiotics, are associated with a reduced risk of AD in children. The presence of these nutrients may influence the gut microbiome, leading to beneficial effects on immune development.

 

Conclusion:

Maternal diet plays a crucial role in shaping infant health, particularly in the prevention of atopic dermatitis. Modulating the maternal diet could be a potential strategy for reducing the risk of AD in offspring.
