Implication

Systematic review reveals maternal conditions shape health in early childhood, highlighting significant research gaps in overall quality of life and healthy mother cohorts.

Key Points

To evaluate the impact of maternal health exposures on child health outcomes during the first five years of life in countries with healthcare systems similar to Australia.
Conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature assessing maternal health status and corresponding health outcomes in offspring aged zero to five years.
Maternal health status significantly influences child health during early childhood, though documented evidence is narrowly confined to specific disease states.
No studies evaluated child health associations among healthy mothers, marking a critical evidence deficit regarding general health and quality of life outcomes.
