Dietary Patterns of Pregnant Women and Their Association with Diet Quality Measures: A Comparative Analysis. Nutrients 2024; 16:1736.

Abstract
Healthy dietary patterns during pregnancy are crucial for ensuring maternal and foetal health outcomes. Numerous methodologies exist for assessing the diet of pregnant women, including dietary patterns and various appraisal tools of diet quality. This study aimed to assess the dietary patterns and diet quality of pregnant women and to investigate the relationship between dietary patterns, diet quality estimators, and the adequacy of nutrient intake. EPIC FFQ was applied to a sample of 251 pregnant women, and questionnaires were interpreted with the FETA program. Dietary patterns were then determined by means of principal component analysis. Our results showed a substantial association between dietary patterns and total diet quality, as measured by the Diet Quality Index for Pregnancy (DQI-Pc), PURE Healthy Diet Score, and FIGO Diet Quality Score. We also found correlations between certain dietary patterns and particular nutrient intakes recommended by the European Food Safety Authority during pregnancy. The most deficient intake was registered for iron (86.1%), zinc (87.3%) and magnesium (79.3%), posing a threat to normal bone development, anaemia prophylaxis, and immune status. These results highlight the importance of assessing and understanding eating habits during pregnancy in order to achieve optimal outcomes for both the mother and the foetus.

Food Chem X 2023; 20:101024. [PMID: 38144754 PMCID: PMC10740049 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.101024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Lipids are essential organic components in milk and have been associated with various health benefits for newborns. However, a comprehensive analysis of lipid profiles across multiple species and levels has been lacking. In this study, we employed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to accurately determine the absolute content of lipid molecules. It revealed that ruminants exhibit a higher concentration of short-chain fatty acids compared to non-ruminants. Additionally, we identified ALC (camel), MGH (horse), and DZD (donkey) as species that display similarities to components found in human milk fat. Remarkably, it reveals that porcine milk fat is characterized by long chain lengths, low saturation, and a high proportion of essential fatty acids. PS (22:5_18:2) could potentially serve as a biomarker in porcine milk. These unique characteristics present potential opportunities for the utilization of porcine milk. Overall, our findings provide valuable insights into the lipidomics profiles of milk from different species.
