“…Excessive weight gain can increase the subsequent risk of obesity for the child [102]. Women who were underweight before becoming pregnant or who did not gain sufficient weight during pregnancy have a higher risk of premature delivery and of giving birth to low birth weight or small-for-gestational-age children [101,[103][104][105]. Other suggested long-term consequences of intrauterine malnutrition include postnatal catch-up growth, which has an associated increased risk of obesity but also of renal and cardiovascular disease in adulthood (e.g.…”

!In recent decades, the understanding of the short and longer term effects of health-damaging behaviors and mental health problems in pregnant women and the underlying mechanisms of these behaviors and illnesses has significantly increased. In contrast, little is known about the factors affecting individual pregnant women which contribute to health-damaging behaviors and mental illness. The aim of this paper was therefore to summarize the current state of research into the consequences of nicotine and alcohol consumption, malnutrition, excessive weight gain or obesity, and impaired mental health (depression and anxiety) during pregnancy. In addition, the characteristics of pregnant women which increase their risk of developing such behaviors or mental disorders are described. A better knowledge of these risks should make it easier for clinicians to identify cases at risk early on and put measures of support in place. A review of the literature has shown that certain characteristics of pregnant women (e.g. her relationship with her partner, a previous history of mental illness prior to pregnancy) are associated with various healthdamaging behaviors as well as with impaired mental health. Affected women often show an accumulated psychosocial stress which was already present prior to the pregnancy and which may persist even after the birth of the child.

“…It is also related to an increased risk of perinatal mortality and is the cause of approximately 10% of stillbirths and 15% of preterm births (4). Social-environmental factors, such as maternal age, pre-pregnancy weight and history of previous pregnancy are reported to affect the PE incidence and gestational outcomes (2,(5)(6)(7). Despite extensive studies and recent evidence to identify the pathophysiology of PE, the etiology of this disorder is questionable and requires further investigation (8).…”

Nutritional Status in Preeclamptic Women: a Case-Control Study in South East of Iran

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A B S T R A C T Background and Objectives:Beyond the influence of anthropometric, demographic and race, nutrition is considered as one of the most important risk factors for development of preeclampsia (PE). The issue has grown controversial in light of recent reports. This paper, purposes to compare the nutritional and demographic status between PE women and normal pregnancy in south east of Iran. Materials and Methods:Sixty three normal pregnant and 62 PE women were recruited to be referred to obstetrics and gynecology department of Imam-Ali Hospital, Zahedan, Iran. PE was diagnosed by using international guidelines by the expert gynecologist. Dietary intake, assessed by food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and anthropometric measurement and medical history were collected by trained gynecologist and dietitians during the second trimester. The logistic regression model was used to assess the correlation between dietary intake and PE risk.Results: Pregnant PE women compared with normal pregnant women had higher pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), cesarean delivery and low birth weight babies. There was an association between grain intake and PE risk (OR= 2.00;. No association was found between other dietary intakes and PE risk. Conclusions:Our findings support the association between grain intake and the risk of PE. Further prospective studies are needed to illustrate the link between dietary intake and PE status.

Objectives: Maternal factors shape the risk of infant undernutrition, however the contributions of age at marriage versus age at pregnancy are rarely disentangled. We explore these issues in a population from lowland rural Nepal, where median ages at marriage and first pregnancy are 15 and 17 years respectively and marriage almost always precedes pregnancy. Methods:We analyzed data on first-time mothers (n = 3002) from a clusterrandomized trial (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015). Exposures were ages at marriage and pregnancy, categorized into groups. Outcomes were z-scores for weight (WAZ), length (LAZ), head circumference (HCAZ), and weight-for-length (WLZ), and prevalence of wasting and stunting, for neonates (<8 days) and infants (6-12 months). Mixed linear and logistic regression models tested associations of marriage and pregnancy ages with outcomes, adjusting for parental education, household assets, caste, landholding, seasonality, child sex, intervention arm, randomization strata and cluster.Results: For neonates, pregnancy <18 years predicted lower LAZ, and <19 years predicted lower WAZ and HCAZ. Results were largely null for marriage age, however early pregnancy and marriage at 10-13 years independently predicted neonatal stunting. For infants, earlier pregnancy was associated with lower LAZ and HCAZ, with a trend to lower WAZ for marriage 10-13 years. Early pregnancy, but not early marriage, predicted infant stunting.Conclusions: Early marriage and pregnancy were associated with poorer growth, mainly in terms of LAZ and HCAZ. Associations were stronger for neonatal than infant outcomes, suggesting pregnancy is more susceptible to these stresses. Early marriage and pregnancy may index different social and biological factors predicting child undernutrition.
