Abstract: Iodine is an essential micronutrient for human growth and development. It is crucial for neural development in fetuses and newborns in the early postnatal period, including neural migration, glial differentiation, and myelin formation in the central nervous system. Mothers must consume sufficient iodine during pregnancy to maintain fetal growth and development. However, the results of current researches on the potential effects of maternal iodine intake imbalance during pregnancy on offspring iodine nutrition, neurological and physical development are not completely consistant. This article reviews the research in recent years on the effects of maternal iodine intake imbalance during pregnancy on the iodine nutrition and development of offspring, aiming to provide scientific basis for improving offspring development from the perspective of maternal iodine nutrition.
