We examined the associations between energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII) scores indicative of an inflammatory dietary pattern, maternal serum neopterin levels, a biomarker elevated in Th1 immune activation, and infantile risk of atopic eczema.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Within the UK Southampton Women's Survey, mothers' diets were recorded using questionnaires at preconception, early and late pregnancy and E-DII scores derived. 3006 deliveries of live born infants with no major congenital growth abnormalities who were assessed for atopic eczema at 6 or 12 months (ascertained using the UK Working Party Diagnostic Criteria [<i>n</i> = 2955 and 2871, respectively]). A sub-sample of 497 mothers had serum neopterin measured in late pregnancy.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Unadjusted analyses showed that higher E-DII in preconception and late pregnancy was associated with a lower risk of eczema at ages 6 and 12 months. After adjusting for maternal BMI, age, parity, education, smoking during pregnancy, breastfeeding duration and sex, higher E-DII in late pregnancy was associated with reduced risks of eczema at age 6 and 12 months (OR 0.89 [95% CI 0.81, 0.99], <i>p</i> = 0.03 and OR 0.91 [0.82, 1.00], <i>p</i> = 0.05, respectively). Consistent with this, higher maternal serum neopterin was associated with a lower risk of eczema at ages 6 months (OR 0.72 [0.51, 1.01], <i>p</i> = 0.05) and 12 months (OR 0.71 [0.53, 0.96], <i>p</i> = 0.03).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The findings suggest that a pro-inflammatory maternal diet and an inflammatory maternal environment during pregnancy may protect the developing infant from Th2 driven inflammation and lower the risk of infantile atopic eczema.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Trial Registration</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>NCT04715945</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10334,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Translational Allergy","volume":"15 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/clt2.70080","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144705315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
