About
Dayana Rodrigues Farias is a nutritional epidemiologist whose research focuses on maternal and child health, with particular emphasis on the role of essential fatty acids during pregnancy and their impact on long-term health outcomes. Her work explores how dietary patterns, lifestyle factors, and socioeconomic conditions influence maternal nutritional status and fetal development. In her highly cited prospective cohort study of 225 Brazilian women, Farias demonstrated that shorter inter-pregnancy intervals and unhealthy lifestyle factors are inversely associated with changes in n-3 essential fatty acids during pregnancy, providing critical insights into modifiable risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Her research has accumulated over 22 citations, reflecting its importance in the field of maternal nutrition. Farias’s contributions are particularly notable for their focus on underrepresented populations in Latin America, addressing gaps in global nutritional science. Her work has informed public health strategies aimed at improving maternal dietary quality and reducing disparities in pregnancy outcomes. Through her rigorous longitudinal studies, Farias continues to advance understanding of how early nutritional exposures shape lifelong health trajectories.
