OC19.07: *Effect of Mediterranean diet intervention during pregnancy on maternal brain: a secondary analysis of the IMPACT BCN randomised clinical trial.

This article discusses the effects of a Mediterranean diet (MD) intervention during pregnancy on the cortical structure of the maternal brain. The study analyzed data from a randomized clinical trial involving 1221 pregnant women who were allocated into three groups: MD intervention, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program, or usual care. The results showed that women in the MD group had larger surface areas in certain brain regions compared to the usual care group. The study suggests that promoting a MD during pregnancy can have a significant effect on maternal brain structure. [Extracted from the article]
