ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to evaluate the food intake of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) according to two methods of dietary guidance. A randomised controlled clinical trial was conducted by appointment with a nutritionist and by using data from hospital records (2011-2014). The study population comprised adult women diagnosed with GDM treated in a public maternity hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The control group (CG) received nutritional advice by the traditional method and the intervention group (IG) were instructed on carbohydrate counting. The analysis of food intake and the consumption of processed foods (PF) and ultra-processed foods (UPF) were evaluated in the second and third trimester. A total of 286 pregnant women were initially assessed (145 in the CG and 141 in the IG). It was observed that 89/120 (74·2 %) and 183/229 (79·9 %) consumed PF daily in the second and third trimesters, respectively, whereas 117/120 (97·5 %) and 225/231 (97·4 %) consumed UPF daily in the second and third trimesters, respectively. When analysing the intake of macronutrients (%) by quartiles, women who had fat intake in the third quartile had the highest average postprandial blood glucose compared with those who consumed fat in the second quartile (P=0·02). The consumption of PF and UPF was high and dietary intake was similar in both groups, regardless of dietary guidance method deployed, suggesting that both methods tested in the study can be used for monitoring the nutritional status of pregnant women with GDM.

This study aimed to identify the determinants of low birth weight (LBW) amongst children of adolescent mothers through a hierarchical approach in a cross-sectional study of 751 adolescents attended at a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Sociodemographic data, prenatal care, and biological and maternal obstetric conditions were analyzed. Possible determinants of LBW were identified in the bivariate analysis and then hierarchical logistic regression models were tested, considering as taggered hierarchy of distal, intermediate, and proximal levels. Variables with p < 0.05 at each level of analysis were kept in the model, and the adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated. The prevalence of low birth weight was 10%. The determinants of LBW were: distal level - non-acceptance of pregnancy (OR = 10.19, 95% CI = 1.09 to 39.53); intermediate level - having fewer than six prenatal consultations (OR = 4.29; 95% CI = 1.55 to 11.83) and not having standardized nutritional care (OR = 3.18; 95% CI = 1.18 to 8.55); and proximal level - preterm delivery (OR = 10.19, 95% CI = 2.12 to 49.01). The determinants of LBW were maternal characteristics, prenatal care, and birth conditions, which contain certain modifiable social characteristics.
Objetivou-se identificar os determinantes do baixo peso ao nascer - BPN, em filhos de adolescentes por meio de abordagem hierarquizada. Estudo transversal com 751 adolescentes atendidas em maternidade pública do Rio de Janeiro. Foram analisados dados sociodemográficos, da assistência pré-natal, condições biológicas e obstétricas maternas. Os possíveis determinantes do BPN foram identificados na análise bivariada e a seguir foram testados modelos de regressão logística hierarquizada, considerando o escalonamento hierarquizado em níveis distal, intermediário e proximal. Permaneceram no modelo as variáveis com valor de p < 0,05 em cada nível de análise e estimou-se as odds ratio (OR) ajustadas e intervalos de confiança (IC) de 95%. A prevalência de BPN foi de 10%. Os determinantes do BPN foram: nível distal - a não aceitação da gravidez (OR = 10,19; IC 95% = 1,09-39,53); nível intermediário - ter menos de seis consultas de pré-natal (OR = 4,29; IC 95% = 1,55-11,83), não ter assistência nutricional padronizada (OR = 3,18; IC 95% = 1,18-8,55); nível proximal parto prematuro (OR = 10,19; IC 95% = 2,12-49,01). Os determinantes do BPN foram características maternas, da assistência pré-natal e condições ao nascer e, dentre estes fatores, temos características sociais modificáveis.
