DISCUSSION
LITTLE
Our results suggest that a greater MD adherence during pregnancy, which seems to be driven by a higher intake of fish, whole grain cereals, fruits and vegetables and a lower intake of sweets, was associated with better maternal lipid serum markers (i.e., lower total cholesterol, higher HDL‐C and lower LDL‐C, LDL‐C/HDL‐C ratio and triglyceride/HDL‐C ratio) throughout the gestation. Notwithstanding, a greater MD adherence during pregnancy was not associated with cord arterial and venous serum markers.Our findings of an association between MD adherence and maternal cardiometabolic markers throughout gestation were generally consistent with results from other studies (Asemi et al., Besides, in the present study, a greater MD adherence was associated with lower concentrations of TNF‐The lack of association between MD adherence and serum glucose and HOMA‐IR in our study agrees with previous studies (Siervo et al., Little information is available on the effects of maternal diet during pregnancy on the offspring's glycemic, lipid and inflammatory serum markers with previous studies reporting mixed findings (Gesteiro et al.,
