Pre-Pregnancy BMI Influences the Association of Dietary Quality and Gestational Weight Gain: The SECOST Study
Poor diet quality in pregnancy could impact gestational weight gain (GWG) and consequently fetal growth and development. But today there is limited data available on gestational diet quality. This study investigated the association between diet quality in each pregnancy trimester and GWG in Malaysia...

Diet quality was assessed using the modified Healthy Eating Index for Malaysians (HEI).

There were significant differences in the HEI component score across trimesters, except for fruits.

For non-overweight/obese women, higher total HEI scores in the second and third trimesters were significantly associated with lower risk of inadequate GWG (aOR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.95–0.99, <i>p</i> = 0.01) and higher risk of excessive GWG (aOR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.01–1.07, <i>p</i> = 0.03), respectively. Overweight/obese women with higher total HEI scores in the second (aOR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.01–1.07, <i>p</i> = 0.02) and third trimester (aOR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.01–1.08, <i>p</i> = 0.02) were significantly at higher risk for excessive GWG. Pregnant women had relatively low diet quality throughout pregnancy. Diet quality and GWG association differed according to pre-pregnancy BMI with excessive GWG more likely to be associated with higher total HEI scores in the third trimester.https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/16/19/3735diet qualityhealthy eating index (hei)gestational weight gain (gwg)pre-pregnancy bmi |
