Pediatric Immunonutrition

Nutrition is intrinsically linked to immune system development and function, particularly in infants and children. Adequate intake of essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids supports the maturation of innate and adaptive immunity, reducing the susceptibility to infections and inflammatory conditions. Maternal nutrition during pregnancy also contributes to neonatal immune competence, influencing outcomes such as birth weight, infection risk, and long-term immune development. Specific nutrients, including vitamin D, zinc, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, play critical roles in modulating immune responses, supporting lymphocyte function, and enhancing antibody production. Nutritional interventions, including supplementation and fortification, have been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of infectious diseases in pediatric populations. Research in immunonutrition also explores functional foods, prebiotics, probiotics, and bioactive compounds that can support immune health and gut microbiome balance. Immunonutrition is especially important for children with chronic illnesses, premature infants, and those living in resource-limited environments, where dietary insufficiencies can lead to impaired immunity and higher disease burden. Integration of clinical findings into public health programs ensures that interventions reach vulnerable populations effectively. Education and training of healthcare providers, caregivers, and communities in immunonutrition principles are essential to promote preventive strategies and strengthen immune resilience. Advancements in pediatric immunonutrition research are paving the way for targeted dietary therapies that not only prevent malnutrition but also enhance overall health and developmental potential in children.
