“…The inadequacy of fibre intake in pregnancy we describe is not exclusive to southern Brazil. The mean daily fibre intake of our sample was two-to three-fold higher than in recent American (7,19) and British samples (23) . Nutritional education in routine prenatal care is a useful tool in the management of weight gain during pregnancy (41,42) .…”

Background: Increase in fibre intake during pregnancy may reduce weight gain, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia, pre-eclampsia and constipation. Few studies have evaluated adequacy of fibre intake during pregnancy. Objective: To assess, through an FFQ, the dietary fibre intake of pregnant women receiving prenatal care from general public practices and compare it with current guidelines. Design and setting: Cross-sectional analyses of a pregnancy cohort study (ECC-AGE -Study of Food Intake and Eating Behaviour in Pregnancy) conducted in eighteen general practices in southern Brazil, from June 2006 to April 2007. Subjects: Five hundred and seventy-eight pregnant women with mean (SD) age of 24?9 (6?5) years and mean gestational age of 24?5 (5?8) weeks. Results: The mean energy intake was 11 615 kJ/d (2776 kcal/d). The mean total fibre intake (30?2 g/d) was slightly above the recommended value of 28 g/d (P , 0?001), yet 50 % (95 % CI 46, 54) of the women failed to meet the recommendation. Whole-grain fibre constituted only 1 % of total fibre intake in the cereal group. In adjusted Poisson regression analyses, not meeting the recommendation for fibre intake was associated with alcohol intake (prevalence ratio 1?29; 95 % CI 1?11, 1?50) and absence of nutritional guidance (prevalence ratio 1?22; 95 % CI 1?05, 1?42) during pregnancy. Conclusions: About half of the pregnant women failed to meet the recommended fibre intake, especially those not reporting nutritional guidance during pregnancy. For most women, whole-grain cereal intake was absent or trivial. Taken together, our data indicate the need, at least in this setting, for greater nutritional education in prenatal care.

“…During pregnancy, the recommendation for fibre intake, consistent with US recommendations, increases to 28 g daily (15) . Several studies in Brazil (16)(17)(18) and other countries (13,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) describe the nutritional intake of pregnant women. Many of them studied specific populations (e.g.…”

“…Embora o consumo de frutas tenha sido baixo, as mais consumidas foram manga e acerola, o que pode explicar as vitaminas C e A acima das recomendações. Tais resultados vão ao encontro dos obtidos em pesquisas semelhantes, as quais também detectaram deficiência de ferro 10,11,17,[20][21][22] , zinco 20,23 , ácido fólico 10,11,20 e cálcio 11,17,20,21,23,24 . A vitamina C também estava acima das recomendações em alguns desses estudos 10,11,17 .…”

O presente estudo analisou o consumo alimentar de 99 gestantes adolescentes atendidas no serviço de assistência pré-natal da Maternidade Escola Assis Chateaubriand, na cidade de Fortaleza, Brasil. Os dados foram levantados por meio de entrevistas no próprio serviço e em visitas domiciliares, com a utilização de um instrumento para obtenção de dados socioeconômicos e do inquérito alimentar recordatório de 24 horas para obtenção de dados alimentares. Os resultados mostraram que as dietas estavam desbalanceadas e monótonas: 63,6% delas tinham menos de 90,0% das necessidades energéticas de gestantes e mais da metade estava adequada em seu conteúdo protéico, com excesso de lipídeos e inadequado conteúdo de carboidratos. Alguns micronutrientes, como ferro, cálcio, ácido fólico, zinco e vitamina B1, foram consumidos em quantidades bem abaixo do recomendado. Sugere-se a implementação de ações educativas na área de alimentação e nutrição durante o pré-natal, no sentido de explorar os conhecimentos e práticas alimentares já existentes, auxiliando na escolha de alimentos saudáveis e compatíveis com a situação de vida das gestantes.

“…As mothers under the age of 18 are still growing, calcium needs increase for the development of both mother and baby. Although the absorption of calcium doubles during pregnancy, if the required amount of calcium is not consumed, the calcium required for the fetus is met by the mobilization of maternal reserves (35) . It predisposes mothers to such health problems as osteomalacia and osteoporosis.…”
