By Bhavana KunkalikarDec 29 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers explored the correlation between a Mediterranean diet pattern and adverse pregnancy outcomes .
The present multicenter cohort study was performed at eight medical facilities in the United States between 1 October 2010 and 30 September 2013, enrolling 10,038 nulliparous females with single live births in their initial trimester and following them until delivery. Sociodemographic, medical, and lifestyle data were obtained at the first study visit.
Results The predominance of low, moderate, and high compliance to a Mediterranean diet around the time of conception was 38.2%, 31.2%, and 30.6%, respectively. Comparison of clinical and sociodemographic features across predefined aMed score categories showed that females having a higher aMed score had a higher chance of being non-Hispanic White, older, married, non-smokers, and have a higher level of education, and a lesser chance of having an obese category body-mass index .
