Interactions between pregnant women's nutrition habits, psychological well-beings, sleep quality and biochemical parameters.

Hormonal changes during pregnancy may cause various changes in biological, physiologic and psychosocial areas. The main objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between dietary habits, psychological well-being, sleep quality and biochemical parameters of pregnant women. The study was conducted on a total of 93 patients who applied to Ankara Koru Sincan Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Outpatient Clinic for routine pregnancy control between November-December 2023, were between the ages of 18-45, had a live singleton fetus, had no diagnosed psychiatric disease or chronic disease, and agreed to participate in the study. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical findings of the individuals were recorded with a questionnaire including the psychological well-being scale (PWBS) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). According to the study, PSQI scores during the second and third trimesters are significantly higher than the first trimester. It was observed that while individuals have bad sleep quality during the second and third trimesters, they have good sleep quality during the first trimester (χ2 = 14.736; P < 0.001). In the biochemical results, the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) value in the second trimester was higher (P > 0.05). Weight gain during pregnancy, age and trimester have a negative effect on sleep quality. When the effects of lifestyles and eating habits of pregnant women on the process are considered, there is a relationship between smoking/alcohol consumption, less physical activity, poor eating habits, sleep quality and depressive symptoms. Factors such as age, educational background, trimester period and other basic sociodemographic variables are also involved.

The Relationship Between Chronic Energy Deficiency and Anemia in Pregnant Women at The Madandan Community Health Center Rantetayo District Tana Toraja Regency

Chronic Energy Deficiency in pregnant women negatively impacts maternal health and fetal development, leading to weight loss, fatigue, weakness, and reduced immunity. CED also increases the risk of anemia, which can decrease oxygen supply and disrupt vital organ function. Anemia in pregnant women can cause fatigue, reduced productivity, and a higher risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications. This quantitative cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the relationship between CED and anemia in 40 pregnant women out of a total population of 64 at the Madandan Community Health Center, Tana Toraja. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, and the analysis employed a chi-square test. The results of Fisher's Exact Test indicated a significant association (p 0.000 &lt; 0.05) between Chronic Energy Deficiency and anemia among pregnant women seeking treatment at the Madandan Community Health Center. The study recommends that community health centers enhance education on balanced nutrition for pregnant women through prenatal clinics, including up-to-date nutritional information, regular health monitoring, and provision of appropriate supplements to reduce the risk of anemia.

Iodine nutrition among pregnant women in the Faroe Islands.

Ensuring adequate iodine nutrition during pregnancy is crucial for fetal brain development. Thus, the WHO recommend monitoring iodine nutrition in pregnant women. With changing dietary habits and declining iodine intake in coastal populations, iodine nutrition in pregnant Faroese women was a focus in newly established pregnancy cohorts. This study aimed to monitor the iodine status of pregnant women in the Faroe Islands by assessing urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and maternal iodine intake. For 2 years, all pregnant women were invited to participate in a nationwide study. Participants completed questionnaires addressing personal and lifestyle factors, supplement intake and dietary habits, Additionally, they provided spot urine samples for UIC measurements. Iodine was measured spectrophotometrically using the ceri/arsen method after alkaline-ashing. Among the 1030 invited, 654 participated and 647 provided a spot-urine sample. The average age was 30·4 years (18–47 years). The overall median UIC was 110 µg/l, declined from 117 to 101 µg/l over 2 years (P = 0·004). UIC was significantly impacted by diet. Women consuming fish and eggs had a higher median UIC compared with those whose primary iodine source was dairy: fish-dinner, 151 µg/l; dairy products, 112 µg/l (P < 0·001). Furthermore, there was a positive association between maternal age, reported intake of iodine-containing supplements and the UIC. This nationwide study of pregnant Faroese women found UIC below the WHO-recommended cut-off for pregnant women and decreasing with time. This decline highlights the importance of continuous monitoring to prompty identify shifts in iodine status, enabling timely intervention to address emerging deficiencies.

The Evaluation of Iodine Levels in Urine and Nutrition in Pregnant Women According to Trimesters

Objective: Iodine deficiency is a major health problem globally that seriously affects pregnant women and children. The aim of this study was to evaluate urinary iodine levels in pregnant women living in the province of Konya according to trimester.&#x0D; Methods: A total of 395 pregnant women aged between 15-49, with gestational periods of 1 to 40 weeks were included in the study. A questionnaire prepared by the researchers, with a total of 54 questions, was used to determine the socio-demographic, obstetric, and iodized salt nutritional characteristics of the participants.&#x0D; Results: The overall median urinary iodine levels were 91.90 µg/L. The mean urinary iodine levels of the pregnant women in the first, second, and third trimesters were 104.00 µg/L in the first trimester, 93.00 µg/L in the second trimester, and 71.00 µg/L in the third trimester. The urinary iodine level was lower in the third trimester and this difference was significant (p

Salivary iodine concentration in pregnant women and its association with iodine status and thyroid function.

There have been no reports on the application of salivary iodine concentration (SIC) in evaluating iodine nutrition in pregnant women. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between SIC and indicators of iodine nutritional status and thyroid function during pregnancy, to investigate whether salivary iodine can be applied to the evaluation of iodine nutritional status in pregnant women, and to provide a reference basis for establishing a normal range of salivary iodine values during pregnancy. Pregnant women were enrolled in the Department of Obstetrics, the people's hospital of Yuncheng Country, Shandong Province, from July 2021 to December 2022, using random cluster sampling. Saliva, urine, and blood samples were collected from pregnant women to assess iodine nutritional status, and venous blood was collected to determine thyroid function. A total of 609 pregnant women were included in this study. The median spot urinary iodine concentration (SUIC) was 261μg/L. The median SIC was 297μg/L. SIC was positively correlated with SUIC (r = 0.46, P < 0.0001), 24-h UIC (r = 0.30, P < 0.0001), 24-h urinary iodine excretion (24-h UIE) (r = 0.41, P < 0.0001), and estimated iodine intake (EII) (r = 0.52, P < 0.0001). After adjusting for confounders, there was a weak correlation between SIC and serum total iodine and serum non-protein-bound iodine (P = 0.02, P = 0.04, respectively). Pregnant women with a SIC < 176μg/L had a higher risk of insufficient iodine status (OR = 2.07, 95% CI 1.35-3.19) and thyroid dysfunction (OR = 2.71, 95% CI 1.18-6.21) compared to those with higher SIC. Those having SIC > 529μg/L were more likely to have excessive iodine status (OR = 2.82, 95% CI 1.81-4.38) and thyroid dysfunction (OR = 3.04, 95% CI 1.36-6.78) than those with lower SIC values. SIC is associated with urinary iodine concentration and thyroid function in pregnant women. SIC < 176μg/L was associated with an increased risk for iodine deficiency and hypothyroxinemia, while SIC > 529μg/L was related to excess and thyrotoxicosis. SIC can be used as a reference indicator for evaluating the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women, but it needs further investigation and verification. NCT04492657(Aug 9, 2022).

Nutritional status of pregnant women and its impact on child stunting incidence in Indonesia: Literature review

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and the incidence of stunting in children in Indonesia based on a review of several related studies. The research method used is a literature review by searching for research articles related to the topic of stunting and nutrition of pregnant women in Indonesia in the last 10 years from online databases. Relevant articles were collected and analyzed systematically. Several studies show that pregnant women with poor nutritional intake and status are at risk of giving birth to babies with stunting and low birth weight. Other factors such as diet, personal hygiene and infections also influence the nutritional status of pregnant women. Poor nutritional status of pregnant women contributes significantly to the risk of stunting in children. Optimizing the nutrition of pregnant women through supplementation, education and increasing access to nutritious food is important as an effort to prevent stunting from an early age.
