Progress on the relationship between environmental risk factors during maternal pregnancy and childhood allergic diseases
Allergic diseases are one of the most common chronic non-infectious diseases in childhood,primarily resulting from genetic and environmental interactions.Evidence suggests that maternal exposure to risk factors during pregnancy can impact the fetus through the placenta,leading to immune dysregulation,disruptions in gut microbiota composition,and ultimately contributing to the development of allergic diseases in children.Therefore,maternal pregnancy represents a critical period for preventing allergic diseases in children.This article provides an overview of research advancements regarding the influence of environmental risk factors during pregnancy on allergic diseases in children,focusing on aspects such as maternal diet,medication usage,maternal illnesses during pregnancy,and allergen exposure,so as to provide new strategies for preventing childhood allergic diseases.
