By Neha MathurSep 4 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent article published in the Frontiers in Public Health Journal, researchers evaluated whether adopting a healthy diet, such as the Mediterranean diet , during pregnancy could meet the unique macro- and micronutrient requirements of pregnancy.
The guidelines for nutritional supplementation during pregnancy vary widely across different geographical regions. Assaf-Balut et al. showed that adherence to MedDiet lowered the risk of gestational diabetes, premature birth, and urinary tract infections.

In the group with low MedDiet adherence scores, the maternal age was lower, the number of Latin pregnant women was higher, and there were more smokers; in addition, these women had a higher waist circumference at enrollment and higher weight and BMI throughout gestation. Likewise, the authors profiled these two groups for fatty acid intake and observed significant differences for all FA items.
