Associations of Prenatal Dietary Inflammatory Potential with Childhood Respiratory Outcomes in Project Viva.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammation during pregnancy may be a factor in the developmental programming of asthma and wheeze in childhood.

Objective

To examine associations of inflammatory potential of prenatal diet with respiratory outcomes in early childhood and midchildhood.

Methods

Among 1424 mother-child pairs in Project Viva, a prebirth cohort, we examined associations of Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) (first trimester, second trimester, and average of first and second trimesters) scores in relation to ever asthma and wheezing in the past year (early childhood and midchildhood); current asthma and lung function (midchildhood), and wheeze trajectory during 1 to 9 years. We used multivariable linear and logistic regression modeling, adjusting for relevant confounders.
