“…Data on cooking methods was also collected. Data from the food lists completed by the physicians was entered into a software programme (Food Meter, Medimatica, Martinsicuro, Teramo, Italy 1990, modified in 1998 in our University according to the table of food consumption of the Italian National Institute of Nutrition [16]). The database contained all foods consumed by the study cohort.…”

Dietary fat and gestational hyperglycaemia

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has an incidence of 2±6 % and is associated with maternal morbidity, adverse perinatal outcomes and many other conditions [1±4]. Unmodifiable known risk factors associated with GDM are ethnicity, age, number of previous pregnancies, and a family history of diabetes. Recently, a short stature has been identified as an independent variable associated with gestational diabetes [5±7]. A modifiable known risk factor is obesity [4]. However, women without conventional risk factors for gestational diabetes also develop the disease [8]. Discovering additional risk factors would help identify those women who need to be tested for gestational diabetes.Additional modifiable risk factors could be a lack of exercise and dietary fat as well as life-style habits that adversely influence insulin-resistance, such as smoking and certain drugs [4]. Diabetologia (2001) Abstract Aims/hypothesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between life-style habits and glucose abnormalities in Caucasian women with and without conventional risk factors for gestational diabetes. Methods. A total of 126 pregnant women with gestational diabetes, 84 with impaired glucose tolerance and 294 with normal glucose tolerance, identified by sequential screening, were interviewed to determine their usual weekly food pattern, amount of exercise, smoking habits and alcohol intake. Results. Patients with glucose abnormalities were older and shorter in height and had significantly higher BMI before pregnancy, percentage of diabetic firstdegree relatives and higher intake of saturated fat. Patients without known risk factors for gestational diabetes (i. e. younger than 35 years of age, BMI < 25 kg/m 2 , no first-degree diabetic relatives) included 40 with impaired glucose tolerance or gestational diabetes. In a multiple logistic regression model age, short stature, familial diabetes, BMI and percentages of saturated fat were associated with impaired glucose tolerance or gestational diabetes in all patients, after adjustment for gestational age. In patients without conventional risk factors only percentages of saturated fat (OR = 2.0; 95 %-CI = 1.2±3.2) and polyunsaturated fat (OR = 0.85; 95 %-CI = 0.77±0.92) were associated with gestational hyperglycaemia, after adjustment for age, gestational age and BMI. Conclusion/interpretation. Saturated fat has an independent role in the development of gestational glucose abnormalities. This role is more important in the absence of conventional risk factors suggesting that glucose abnormalities could be prevented during pregnancy, at least in some groups of women.

“…In addition, a 24 h dietary recall was obtained. The nutrient intake was calculated by using a computerized nutrient database (Nutritest, Scotti-Bassani Foundation, Milan, Italy), derived from tables of food composition of the National Institute of Nutrition (Carnovale & Miuccio, 1989). Daily intake was determined for carbohydrates, fat and protein.…”

“…The food content of calcium, magnesium and other nutrients was derived from foodstuff tables drawn up by the Italian National Institute of Nutrition (Carnovale et al, 1994) and was reported in terms of mean daily intake and of the mean nutrient density. Current data processing was performed on an ad hoc database, created using SPSS 6.1.2 software, also used for descriptive and con®rmatory statistics.…”

Objectives: Evaluation of the impact of a coronary heart disease prevention program on calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and vitamin D dietary intake in respect of recommended daily allowances in a large Italian rural population. Design: Retrospective analysis of the Brisighella Study dietary data. The Brisighella Study started in 1972 as a longitudinal study on atherosclerosis risk factors. Setting: Brisighella, a rural North Italian village. Subjects: The Brisighella population's dietary habits were monitored from 1980 every 4 h through a dietary record sheet. 1350 constantly tested subjects were subdivided according to NHI Consensus Conference on Calcium RDA. Intervention: In 1986, the studied subjects were invited to reduce their consumption of animal fats and cholesterol through a Nutrition Educational Program (NEP). Results: Before NEP, calcium intake was low in each sex and age category: 20 ± 40% of the populatioin had a daily intake`550 mg. In 1988, among the 1350 subjects who constantly completed the questionnaire (M 651, F 699), the mean calcium intake signi®cantly rose in all age categories: M 1003 (25 ± 65 y) and 877 ( b 65) mga24 h (P`0.001 vs 1984); F 923 (25 ± 50), 860 (51 ± 65) and 767 ( b 65) mga24 h (P`0.05). In 1992, 3 y after the NEP conclusion, calcium intake dropped in each sex and age category. The NEP in¯uenced vitamin D, phosphorus and magnesium intakes less. Conclusions: A collective NEP aimed at lowering saturated fats and cholesterol intakes, improves the calcium intake; in order to maintain their ef®cacy on nutritional habit changes, these programs must become an ongoing item.
