The Diet of Preschool Children in the Mediterranean Countries of the European Union: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: Early high prevalence of overweight and obesity was found, and both early consumption of energy-dense foods and overweight seemed to track across toddler and preschool ages, and most children living in the analyzed countries showed low adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet, which in turn was associated with being overweight/obese.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early high calcium and phosphorus intake by parenteral nutrition prevents short-term bone strength decline in preterm infants.

TL;DR: Early assigned parenteral intake of Ca 75 mg ·kg−1 · day−1 and P 44 mg · kg−1· day −1 significantly contributed to preventing short-term bone strength decline in preterm infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional Assessment in Preterm Infants: A Practical Approach in the NICU.

TL;DR: A practical approach for nutritional assessment in preterm infants under intensive care, based on anthropometric measurements and commonly used biochemical markers, is suggested, which could be proxies of body composition but need validation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skin conductance indices discriminate nociceptive responses to acute stimuli from different heel prick procedures in infants.

TL;DR: Using the conjunction of available SC indices, SC seems able to differentiate the nociceptive response to acute pain of different durations in neonates with clinical indication of capillary blood sampling by heel prick.
Journal ArticleDOI

The adjusted effect of maternal body mass index, energy and macronutrient intakes during pregnancy, and gestational weight gain on body composition of full-term neonates.

TL;DR: Positive adjusted associations were found between both prepregnancy BMI and energy intake from carbohydrate and offspring body size in the whole sample, and also between prepregnancy overweight and adiposity in males, and between GWG andBody size in females.
