Motivating authors to update systematic reviews: practical strategies from a behavioural science perspective.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although previous studies evaluated the association of maternal health parameters with neonatal adiposity, little is known regarding the complexity of the relationships among different maternal health parameters throughout pregnancy and its impact on neonatal adiposity. OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the direct and...
