Abstract in brief

  • Maternal diet quality and inflammatory potential during pregnancy can influence childhood obesity, but the specific impacts remain characterized ambiguously.
  • The study analyzed data from 16,295 mother-child pairs across seven European cohorts, assessing maternal dietary quality using the DASH score and inflammatory potential with the E-DII score.
  • Findings revealed that a pro-inflammatory diet in early pregnancy was linked to higher obesity odds in late childhood, while a higher quality diet was associated with lower obesity odds, particularly noted in late pregnancy.
