Defining and Directing Gut Microbiota Maturation in Early Life: A Nutrition Perspective
Nestle Nutr Inst Workshop Ser. 2023;97:11-19. doi: 10.1159/000528988. Epub 2023 Apr 6.ABSTRACTThe development of the microbiome within the human digestive tract starts at birth and continues up to approximately 3 years of age when the microbial ecosystem resembles a more adulthood-like state. The pace of colonization and diversification of the gut microbiota in the early stages of life has been linked to short- and long-term health outcomes. Characterizing optimal maturation of the ecosystem may help identifying adverse events that impair the process and also factors that support and guide it, such as diet. To date, resear...

Changing Landscape from Nutrients to Dietary Patterns: Implications for Child Health
Nestle Nutr Inst Workshop Ser. 2023;97:72-81. doi: 10.1159/000528990. Epub 2023 Apr 6.ABSTRACTDietary patterns (DPs) have shifted the focus in nutrition epidemiology away from being nutrient centered. Foods are consumed not as single nutrients but as a combination of dietary components interacting with each other. DPs are indicators of diet quality. Two approaches are used to derive them: the index-based and data-driven approaches, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Studies on diet-disease relationships are now concentrated on DPs. Most available studies are in adults, which emphasize the role of DPs as contri...

A Child's Nutrition and Epigenetics
Nestle Nutr Inst Workshop Ser. 2023;97:1-10. doi: 10.1159/000528991. Epub 2023 Apr 6.ABSTRACTStudies have shown a dramatic increase in the incidence and the prevalence of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disorders over the last several decades. Environmental triggers and nutrition are considered major contributors to this increase. The first 1,000 days of life, which is the period between conception and the first 2 years of age, is considered the time for environmental factors, such as nutrition, to exert their positive and most crucial effects on a child's health. Nutrigenomics, the stu...

Human Milk Oligosaccharides, Important Milk Bioactives for Child Health: A Perspective
Nestle Nutr Inst Workshop Ser. 2023;97:30-40. doi: 10.1159/000528992. Epub 2023 Apr 6.ABSTRACTHuman milk contains all nutritive and bioactive compounds to give infants the best possible start in life. Human milk bioactives cover a broad range of components, including immune cells, antimicrobial proteins, microbes, and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). Over the last decade, HMOs have gained special attention as their industrial production has allowed the study of their structure-function relation in reductionist experimental setups. This has shed light on how HMOs steer microbiome and immune system development in early li...
