Maternal and paternal determinants of infant health: a cross-sectional study in four countries during the COVID-19 era
This study highlights the importance of socioeconomic factors, healthy parental lifestyle, and prenatal care in improving infant health outcomes. Public health initiatives should focus on promoting awareness of maternal health, early medical intervention, and socioeconomic support to enhance maternal and infant well-being. To explore the long-term impacts of these factors and develop targeted strategies for vulnerable populations, further research is necessary.
