Key Factors for Optimal Neural Development & Cognition
Content Reference
/content/an/hcpproconnect/in/en/home/pediatric/resources/secure/Key-Factors-for-optimal-neural-development-and-cognition
Abstract

Optimal nutrition during in first two years of life is essential for supporting critical periods of fetal growth and development and for fueling infant and toddler growth (until two years of age). It is during this “golden opportunity window” that the cognitive, emotional and behavioural patterns in a child shape up.

Abstract

The immune system of neonates is immature and not fully functional, their susceptibility to infections and ability to respond appropriately is impaired. However, neonates are protected against infections through passive immunity; conferred through IgG and IgA antibodies, transferred from the mother through the placenta during the last trimester of pregnancy, and through the breastmilk during lactation, respectively.

Abstract

Infant brain development is the fastest in the early years of life compared to the rest of the body. The neonatal brain, which is one-third to one-fourth of the size of the adult brain at birth, grows rapidly to reach 72% of adult volume within the first year, suggesting that the majority of brain growth happens during the first year of life.

Abstract

The foetal period, early life, and childhood are critical periods for the development and programming of metabolic systems, including the skeleton. Peak bone mass attained during early life determines lifelong skeletal fragility.Peak bone mass is the amount of bone acquired when accrual ceases or reaches a plateau at some point after the completion of growth and development.

Abstract

Infants and young children experiencing immune-mediated responses to cow’s milk (CM) face immediate and long-term health issues. CM Protein allergy (CMPA) is among the most common food allergies in early life and approximately 60% of patients present with IgE-mediated CM. Most children gradually outgrow their allergy and develop tolerance to milk proteins over time. Gut microbiota can influence the development of immune responses and food allergies during early infancy.1

Abstract

Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) and cow’s milk protein intolerance (CMPI) are primary diseases affecting infants.1 CMA is one of the most common food allergies affecting children in the early years of life with a prevalence of 2–5%.1,2 Children with persistent CMA exhibit IgE reactivity towards casein epitopes. Recent research shows that circulating casein-specific T cells are the most prevalent in children suffering from CMA.2

Abstract

Lactose intolerance (LI) is a common gastrointestinal condition which is due to the inability to digest and absorb dietary lactose. About 70% of the world’s population suffer from LI due to a genetically programmed gradual decline in lactase expression after weaning, so-called lactase non-persistence.

Abstract

From early life to adulthood, the microbiota play a crucial role in the health of the infant. The microbiota in early life are not only a key regulator of infant health but also associated with long-term health.1 The early life microflora is highly unstable and undergoes dynamic changes during the first few years. Various maternal factors along with the vertical microbial transfer from the mother, as well as the horizontal environmental transmission and internal factors relating to the infant, play a crucial role in modulating the gut microbiota

Abstract

Hypoallergenic enriched nutrition, including extensively hydrolyzed (EH) protein supplements or amino acid-based (AA) supplements, are recommended for the dietary management of infants with CMPA who cannot be breastfed. Typically, the majority of infants with CMPA are managed effectively on an EH enriched nutrition. Increasing evidence supports lowering total protein content in both hypoallergenic enriched nutrition supplements and routine enriched nutrition supplements to be more in line with the amount of protein found in human milk.3

Abstract

Prematurity is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality . Globally 15% of the newborns are Low Birth Weight due to Preterm or Intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR). In India the number is 28 %. 1   Extremely preterm (<28 weeks’ gestational age) and Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW, birth <1000 g) babies are born during the late second and third trimesters of pregnancy. 2

Abstract

The use of human breast milk for enteral nutrition is preferred for preterm infants, as it provides adequate amounts of energy, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, microelements, and water for growth and development. Furthermore, breast milk contains antimicrobial factors (e.g. immunoglobulin A, leucocytes, lactoferrin and lysozymes), and growth hormones and factors2.

Abstract

Growth failure in preterm infants remains extremely common despite advances in neonatal care.1 These premies can grow at the fetal growth rate of at least 15 g kg−1day−1 in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU), which parallels fetal growth, but because adequate weight gain commences only after 1–2 weeks it does not result in catch-up growth during the hospital stay.2  These graduates of the NICU frequently enters into the home setting at a physical size and weights below the 10th centile for age1

Abstract

Preterm birth (before 37 gestational weeks) poses a risk of poorer neurocognitive functioning. This risk is highest for those born very preterm (<32 weeks) or at very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500g), and effects span beyond childhood. Explaining this vulnerability are factors that underlie and result from preterm birth, including pregnancy complications and immaturity-related health problems.

Abstract

Childhood and adolescence are nutritional critical points due to rapid growth and development. It is characterized by an increase in cell number and a concerted and coordinated change in cell/tissue/organ characteristics and functions. Longitudinal growth of the skeleton is the most obvious feature accompanied by the growth and maturation of the muscles, the internal organs, the reproductive system and the central nervous system. This developmental growth stage of the child is predetermined by his activity levels which depend on his physical and mental stamina.
