Association Between Gestational Weight Gain and Low Birth Weight Across the Pre‐pregnancy Body Mass Index Strata
Investigating the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) on low birth weight (LBW, birth weight < 2500 g) across pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) categories (underweight: < 18.5, normal: 18.5-24.9 and overweight/obese: ≥ 25 kg/m2) is crucial for clinical practice. While the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 2009 GWG guidelines are widely used, evidence-based data from diverse populations is scarce, creating a global research gap. We exp…
Factors Related to Lacking Knowledge on the Recommended Daily Salt Intake among Medical Professionals in Mongolia
In Mongolia, the recommendations are to restrict salt intake to less than 5 g/day to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. We aimed to reveal factors associated with not knowing the recommended daily salt intake among medical professionals in Mongolia. Of the recruited 538 medical professionals working at public health facilities in Darkhan-Uul Province, the data from 338 (62.8%), obtained using self-administered questionnaires, were analyze…
Does Antenatal Social Support Affect the Relationships Between Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy And Perinatal Mental Health
Intimate partner violence (IPV) causes adverse perinatal mental health outcomes; however, few studies have identified why. We focused on antenatal social support to reveal how it affects the relationship between IPV during pregnancy and mental health outcomes. A prospective cohort study was conducted during the third trimester and 1-month postnatal. The relationship between IPV during pregnancy and antenatal depressive symptoms, which were associ…
Factors related to vegetable intake among pregnant Japanese women
Effect of tailored dietary guidance for pregnant women on nutritional status
This double cohort study aimed to evaluate the effect of tailored dietary guidance for pregnant women on dietary intake, nutritional status, and infant birth weight. Healthy pregnant women were recruited at an antenatal clinic during two phases over 2 years. The historical controls were analyzed a year prior to the intervention group. In both groups, data were collected at 19-26 gestational weeks (baseline) and at 34-37 gestational weeks (outcome…
Maternal and Child Health in Mongolia at 3 Years After Childbirth
Validity of a self‐administered diet history questionnaire for estimating vitamin D intakes of J apanese pregnant women
Maternal vitamin D status is important for fetal development and the prevention of pregnancy complications. Mothers require both sufficient intakes and skin production of this vitamin. We investigated the validity and test-retest reliability of a self-administered diet history questionnaire (DHQ) to establish a method of assessing vitamin D intakes of Japanese pregnant women, using a serum marker. A total of 245 healthy pregnant women in the seco…
