The purpose of this prospective study was to examine changes in dietary intakes of Taiwanese women from pre-pregnancy to postpartum as assessed by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). One hundred and fifty-one healthy pregnant women were recruited within 20 weeks of pregnancy from the Women and Children Branch of Taipei City Hospital,(Taipei, Taiwan). FFQs were collected during pre-pregnancy( =151), pregnancy( =112), and postpartum( =61). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 19.0 and STATA 8.0. Results showed that percentages of average daily energy from protein in pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and postpartum were 15.1%, 14.7%, 14.7%, of average daily energy from fat were 36.0%, 34.1%, and 33.0%, and those of average daily energy from carbohydrate were 50.3%, 51.3%, and 47.9%, respectively. Moreover, data are presented by nutrient density per 1000 kcal. Compared to non-pregnant periods(pre-pregnancy and postpartum), during pregnancy, women had higher nutrient densities of dietary fiber and calcium, and lower nutrient densities of vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and caffeine. Women consumed more fruits and dairy products, and less fresh vegetables, eggs, pork, vegetable oils, and caffeinated beverages during pregnancy than pre-pregnancy. Dietary consumption in pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and postpartum showed significant changes in food patterns and nutrient densities. |
