“…Demographic Data. Based on a review of the literature, prepregnancy BMI, parity, marital status, insurance type, and birth facility were included as potentially important factors in birth mode (Andrikopoulou et al, 2021;McDonald et al, 2020;Mischkot et al, 2022;Morris et al, 2018;Ruiz et al, 2015;Souter et al, 2019). These were assessed as either mediators or moderators to the relationship between acculturation and birth mode.…”

Introduction: There is evidence that Mexican Americans are more likely to have cesarean birth than non-Hispanic White Americans. The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to acculturation along with psychological and sociodemographic factors associated with birth mode in a prospective cohort of Mexican American women in Texas. Methods: This secondary analysis included 244 Mexican American pregnant women. Women with a prior cesarean birth were excluded. Variable selection was guided by Berry's Theoretical Framework of Acculturation. Correlations and logistic regression were used to examine relationships and predict risk of cesarean birth. Mediators and moderators were also considered. Results: Eighty women birthed by cesarean. Analytic and parent samples were similar in all demographics. After controlling for parity in logistic regression, greater Spanish language-related acculturative stress (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.01, 1.11], p = .028) and experience of discrimination (AOR, 1.18, 95% CI [1.00, 1.38], p = .044) increased the odds of cesarean birth. The relationship between acculturative stress and birth mode was moderated by birth facility. Conclusion: Acculturative stress and discrimination may play a role in birth mode for Mexican American women birthing in Texas. Birth facility and acculturative stress may be interacting in ways that have clinical significance but are yet unexplored.

Study Objectives Sleep disturbances, which can worsen during pregnancy, have been linked to inflammatory processes. This study tested the hypothesis that more pro-inflammatory diets during pregnancy are associated with a decrease in sleep quality and shorter sleep duration. Methods The Health in Pregnancy and Postpartum study promoted a healthy lifestyle in pregnant women with pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity (n=207). Data from <16 weeks and 32 weeks gestation were used. Sleep was measured using BodyMedia’s SenseWear® armband. Diet was assessed using two 24-hour dietary recalls. Energy-density Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII TM) scores were calculated from micro and macronutrients. Linear mixed-effects models estimated the impact of the E-DII score on sleep parameters. Results Women with more pro-inflammatory diets, compared to those with more anti-inflammatory diets, were more likely to be nulliparous (51% vs. 25%, p=0.03), frequent consumers of fast food (29% vs. 10% consuming on 4-6 days during the previous week, p=0.01), ever-smokers (21% vs. 6%, p=0.02), and younger (mean age 29.2 vs. 31.3 years, p=0.02). For every one-unit increase (i.e., more pro-inflammatory) in the E-DII score, sleep latency increased by 0.69 minutes (p<0.01). Among European Americans only, every one-unit higher E-DII was associated with a 2.92-minute longer wake-after-sleep-onset (p=0.02). Conclusion An E-DII score that is 5 points lower (i.e., more anti-inflammatory) would equate to about 105 minutes of additional sleep per week among European American women. Anti-inflammatory diets may help to counteract detriments in sleep during pregnancy, especially among European American women. Additional work is needed among African American women.
