Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is a major cause of mental retardation in Western countries. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is mainly characterized by pre- and postnatal stunted growth, neurocognitive disorders, and facial dysmorphism. It compromises the intellectual and behavioral prognosis of the child. Prevention tools exist, through better information of health professionals, for optimal care of high-risk women before, during, and after pregnancy, which would decrease the incidence of SAF in the future.
孕期饮酒是西方国家智力发育迟缓的主要原因。胎儿酒精综合征（FAS）主要特征为出生前后生长发育迟缓、神经认知障碍和面部畸形。它会影响儿童的智力和行为预后。通过提高卫生专业人员的认知，存在预防手段，可为高危女性在孕前、孕期和产后提供最佳护理，这将在未来降低胎儿酒精谱系障碍（SAF）的发病率。
