Digestible Carbohydrate Intake and Maternal-Infant Outcomes: A Systematic Review

Digestible Carbohydrate Intake and Maternal-Infant Outcomes: A Systematic Review: The goal is to identify research available since the last DRI guidelines were established that can inform updated recommendations for total digestible carbohydrate intake during pregnancy and for infants aged up to 24 months of age. This review aims to identify and summarize the available evidence linking digestible carbohydrate intake and outcomes for pregnant people and infants from birth to two years of age. Although the scope of this review is limited to outcomes during pregnancy, at birth, and up to the first 24 months of age, nutrition during these life stages has long-term effects extending into adolescence and adulthood. (Section 944 (c) of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 299c 3(c)] requires that information collected for research conducted or supported by AHRQ that identifies individuals or establishments be used only for the purpose for which it was supplied unless they consent to the use of the information for another purpose.)
