ABSTRACT

Background: Sarcopenia is a disease associated with muscle changes during aging, and its detection remains a challenge outside specialized clinical units. Objective: To evaluate the utility of the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) in detecting sarcopenia in institutionalized older persons. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study in adults aged 55 years and older from the city of Puebla. The MNA in its short form (SF) and full form (LF) were administered. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was made according to EWGSOP2. Points obtained from MNA-SF and MNA were plotted on a ROC curve. The odds ratio (OR) for presenting sarcopenia was evaluated according to recommended cutoff points with logistic regression models, adjusted for age and sex. Results: 162 participants were included, 64.1% were women, the mean age was 69.8 years (SD:5). The mean scores of MNA-SF and MNA-LF were 12.17 (SD:1.78), and 25.1 (SD:2.83), respectively. The prevalence of sarcopenia was 20.4%. The AUC of MNA-SF was 0.68 (95%CI:0.58-0.78) and for MNA-LF, 0.60 (95%CI:0.49-0.71). The OR for presenting sarcopenia with MNA-SF<12 was OR=2.87 (95%CI:1.31-6.29) and, after adjustment for age and sex, OR=2.47 (95%CI:1.10-5.54). Conclusions: According to AUC, MNA-SF may be useful in detecting sarcopenia in institutionalized older persons, while MNA-LF may have reduced utility in practice.


Antecedentes: la sarcopenia es una enfermedad asociada con cambios musculares durante el envejecimiento, y su detección sigue siendo un desafío fuera de las unidades clínicas especializadas. Objetivo: Evaluar la utilidad del Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) en la detección de sarcopenia en personas mayores institucionalizadas. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio transversal en adultos de 55 años y más de la ciudad de Puebla. Se administró el MNA en su forma corta (SF) y forma completa (LF). El diagnóstico de sarcopenia se realizó según EWGSOP2. Los puntos obtenidos de MNA-SF y MNA se representaron en una curva ROC. Se evaluó el odds ratio (OR) de presentar sarcopenia según puntos de corte recomendados con modelos de regresión logística, ajustados por edad y sexo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 162 participantes, el 64.1% fueron mujeres, la edad media fue 69.8 años (DE:5). Las puntuaciones medias de MNA-SF y MNA-LF fueron 12.17 (DE: 1.78) y 25.1 (DE: .,83), respectivamente. La prevalencia de sarcopenia fue del 20.4%. El AUC de MNA-SF fue 0,68 (IC 95%: 0.58-0.78) y para MNA-LF, 0.60 (IC 95%: 0.49-0.71). El OR de presentar sarcopenia con MNA-SF<12 fue OR=2.87 (IC95%:1.31-6.29) y, tras ajustar por edad y sexo, OR=2.47 (IC95%:1.10-5.54). Conclusiones: Según la AUC, MNA-SF puede ser útil para detectar sarcopenia en personas mayores institucionalizadas, mientras que MNA-LF puede tener una utilidad reducida en la práctica.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Objectives: the prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infections is a critical aspect of care for patients with intestinal failure who are treated with parenteral nutrition. The use of taurolidine in this context is becoming increasingly popular, however there is a lack of standardization in its pediatric application. The objective of this work is to develop a guide to support its prescription. Methodology: the guide is based on a review of the literature and expert opinions from the Intestinal Failure Group of the SEGHNP. It was developed through a survey distributed to all its members, addressing aspects of usual practice with this lock solution. Results: this manuscript presents general recommendations concerning taurolidine indications, commercial presentations, appropriate forms of administration, use in special situations, adverse reactions, and contraindications in the pediatric population Conclusions: taurolidine is emerging as the primary lock solution used to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections, proving to be safe and effective. This guide aims to optimize and standardize its use in pediatrics.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The main aim was to compare the effects of two parenteral lipid emulsions on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) incidence, severity, and need for treatment. Secondary aim was to compare the effect on weight gain in the first 6 weeks of life. METHODS: Single-center, observational, retrospective study analyzing preterm infants with a gestational age < 31 weeks and a birth weight < 1,251 g, born between April 2015 and December 2018. The infants' medical records were reviewed to collect clinical data. Parenteral nutrition details were obtained from the hospital pharmacy database. RESULTS: In total, 180 patients were included: 90 received ClinOleic® and 90 received SMOFlipid®. No significant differences were observed for the incidence of ROP (40% in ClinOleic® group and 41% in SMOFlipid® group, p=0.88) or ROP requiring treatment (4% and 10% respectively, p=0.152). Weekly weight gain was similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed no difference between the two groups regarding ROP, ROP requiring treatment or weekly weight gain in the first 6 weeks of life.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Endocrinology and Nutrition (EyN) is an outpatient and hospital medical specialty. This study aims to understand the evolution of the activity of interdepartmental consultation (IC) carried out by EyN in hospitalization floor of a third level hospital, comparing its evolution with other medical specialties, and comparing endocrine IC with nutritional IC. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Longitudinal and retrospective study which analyzes IC notes of EyN and other medical specialties between 01-01-2013 and 31-12-2022. RESULTS: A total of 76093 IC notes (12623 patients) were performed by the EyN service (average age 65.4 years; 59% male) with an average of 4.8 notes per patient. Average annual growth was 7% in notes and 4% in patients (versus 6% and 3% of all other medical services, differences statistically significant). Of all patients hospitalized for 4 or more days, EyN went from attending 7.9% (2013) to 12.3% (2022). 66% of the IC performed by EyN was for nutritional cause and 34% for other pathologies. CONCLUSIONS: The EyN service is the one that most patients attend in hospital IC activity, with growth over the last few years greater than other medical specialties. Nutritional pathology is the main reason for IC.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el SARS-CoV-2 desde el 2020 generó innumerables desafíos. El decúbito prono se utilizó para mejorar la oxigenación, y la terapia nutricional se adaptó para cubrir los requerimientos y reducir complicaciones. Objetivos: evaluar la tolerancia de la nutrición enteral y su adecuación energética en pacientes ventilados en decúbito prono con infección por SARS-CoV-2, en sala respiratoria del Departamento de Cuidados Intensivos Adultos del Hospital de Clínicas-Facultad de Ciencias Médicas - Universidad Nacional de Asunción, de marzo a julio 2021. Metodología: estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo, de corte transversal, de casos consecutivos, con información obtenida de fichas de pacientes de terapia intensiva, que recibieron soporte nutricional en posición prona. Se tomaron datos demográficos, clínicos y nutricionales. Se evaluó la tolerancia nutricional durante la posición prona, definiéndola como la presencia de un volumen de residuo gástrico < 500 mL cada 6 h.. La adecuación energética fue determinada teniendo en cuenta el porcentaje cumplido de la prescripción nutricional. Resultados: se reclutaron 41 pacientes. El 60,9 % eran hombres; la mediana de edad fue 55 años (RIC=23). Las principales comorbilidades fueron obesidad (57,3 %) e hipertensión arterial (43,9 %). El 85,4 % presentó buena tolerancia gástrica en posición prono, con residuo gástrico menor a 500 ml. El porcentaje de adecuación energética fue de 84 %. Conclusión: la terapia nutricional enteral en decúbito prono fue bien tolerada por la mayoría de nuestros pacientes, posibilitando alcanzar los requerimientos nutricionales indicados.


Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 since 2020 has generated countless challenges. Prone position was used to improve oxygenation, and nutritional therapy was adapted to meet requirements and reduce complications. Objectives: evaluate the tolerance of enteral nutrition and its energetic adequacy in ventilated patients in the prone position with SARS-CoV-2 infection, in the respiratory room of the Adult Intensive Care Department of the Hospital de Clínicas - Facultad de Ciencias Médicas - Universidad Nacional de Asunción, from March to July 2021. Methodology: observational, descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study of consecutive cases, with information obtained from records of intensive care patients, who received nutritional support in a prone position. Demographic, clinical and nutritional data were taken. Nutritional tolerance was evaluated during the prone position, defining it as the presence of a volume of gastric residue < 500 mL every 6 h. Energy adequacy was determined taking into account the percentage fulfilled of the nutritional prescription. Results: 41 patients were recruited. 60.9 % were men; the median age was 55 years (IQR=23). The main comorbidities were obesity (57.3 %) and high blood pressure (43.9 %). 85.4 % had good gastric tolerance in the prone position, with gastric residue less than 500 ml. The percentage of energy adequacy was 84 %. Conclusion: enteral nutritional therapy in the prone position was well tolerated by the majority of our patients, making it possible to achieve the indicated nutritional requirements.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of Brazilian school meals. Cross-sectional study that used 2785 daily menus, from 557 municipalities in the country, offered between 2022 and 2024, in elementary schools. For evaluation, the Quality Index for School Meal Menus Revised was used. It was observed that the majority of menus presented intermediate quality (70.74%) and the other categories presented similar frequencies. The groups of cereals and tubers; vegetables; and fruits were the most frequent, followed by legumes; red meat; and eggs, chicken and fish. Already ultra-processed; regional foods appeared on a quarter of the menus; dairy products; candy; processed foods; and time compatibility; socio-biodiversity foods and sweet regional preparations were less frequent. This study provides an overview of Brazilian school meals with a high frequency of fresh and minimally processed foods. However, it was also possible to observe the presence of foods that are not allowed in school meals.


El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la calidad de la alimentación escolar brasileña. Estudio transversal que utilizó 2785 menús diarios, de 557 municipios del país, ofrecidos entre 2022 y 2024, en escuelas primarias. Para la evaluación se utilizó el Índice de Calidad de Menús de Alimentación Escolar Revisado. Se observó que la mayoría de los menús presentaron calidad intermedia (70,74%) y las demás categorías presentaron frecuencias similares. Los grupos de cereales y tubérculos; hortalizas y verduras; y las frutas fueron las más frecuentes, seguidas de las legumbres; carne roja; y huevos y carne blanca. Ya ultraprocesados; los alimentos regionales aparecían en una cuarta parte de los menús; productos lácteos; dulce; alimentos procesados; y compatibilidad horaria; fueron menos frecuentes los alimentos de sociobiodiversidad y las preparaciones dulces regionales. Este estudio ofrece una visión general de la alimentación escolar brasileña con alta frecuencia de alimentos frescos y mínimamente procesados. Sin embargo, también fue posible observar la presencia de alimentos no permitidos en la alimentación escolar.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the needs, motivations, and limitations related to healthy eating and digital materials, as well as to identify patterns for their design as a strategy aimed at Mexican families. DESIGN: A qualitative observational study of the phenomenon through focus group sessions. LOCATION: A public primary education center in the city of Querétaro, Mexico. PARTICIPANTS: Children aged 9 to 11 years and parents, mothers, or caregivers with children in primary education. METHOD: Twelve sessions were conducted with three groups of students and two sessions with parents, mothers, or caregivers using an interview guide. Various digital materials, developed based on social cognitive theory, were presented during the sessions. The sessions were recorded with the participants' or their guardians' prior consent and transcribed for analysis. Coding was performed for key points of analysis, and information saturation was confirmed. RESULTS: Students expressed motivation towards digital material that promotes play and experimentation, especially within the family context. The main perceived barrier was the caregivers' resistance to change. Parents expressed motivation and a need for explanatory material on diseases, with economic and time-related barriers. CONCLUSIONS: Digital material based on social cognitive theory, designed to improve nutrition, can be an effective strategy in nutritional education if it considers the circumstances of the target population. It is advisable to include affective and behavioral elements to achieve meaningful learning within households.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A deficiência de vitamina D durante a gestação e a lactação pode repercutir negativamente no desenvolvimento fetal e infantil, devido seu papel fundamental nos sistemas imunológico, cardíaco, ósseo, muscular e neural. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão de literatura para integrar estudos que evidenciam a deficiência de vitamina D em gestantes e lactantes, e os fatores de risco associados a essa carência. Metodologia: Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico entre agosto e outubro de 2021, com atualização entre outubro e novembro de 2022 através de pesquisas às bases Pubmed e Scielo, bem como às listas de referências dos artigos selecionados. Foram empregados os descritores consumo alimentar, vitamina D, deficiência de vitamina D, gestantes e lactantes, usando-se o operador booleano AND para a associação entre eles. Como critérios de inclusão foram adotados o tipo de estudo (epidemiológicos, ensaios clínicos e revisões integrativa e sistemática), o idioma (espanhol, inglês e português) e o período de publicação (2010 a 2022). Resultados: Evidenciou-se que existem vários fatores de riscos para a inadequação do status de vitamina D em gestantes e lactantes como a baixa exposição da pele à luz solar e fatores relacionados (uso excessivo de protetor solar, menor tempo de atividades ao ar livre, clima, religião e hábitos culturais, maior escolaridade);a pigmentação mais escura da pele; o baixo consumo alimentar de vitamina D e variáveis associadas; a menor idade materna; o primeiro trimestre gestacional; a primiparidade e o excesso de tecido adiposo. Conclusões: Em gestantes e lactantes, a carência de vitamina D associa-se a distintos fatores, com destaque principalmente para a baixa exposição à luz solar, a pigmentação mais escura da pele e o excesso de tecido adiposo, sendo de extrema importância que sejam abordados com cautela, visando ações voltadas a variáveis modificáveis, de modo a auxiliar na redução da hipovitaminose D nestes grupos (AU).


Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy and breastfeeding can have a negative impact on fetal and infant development due to its fundamental role in the immune, cardiac, bone, muscular and neural systems. Objective: To conduct a literature review to integrate studies which show the Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant andlactating women, and the risk factors associated with this deficiency. Methodology: A bibliographic survey was carried out between August and October 2021, with an update between October and November 2022 through searches in the Pubmed and Scielo databases, as well as the reference lists of the selected articles. The descriptors food consumption, vitamin D, vitamin D deficiency, pregnant and lactating women were used, using the Boolean operator AND for the association between them. The type of study (epidemiological, clinical trials and integrative and systematic reviews), language (Spanish, English and Portuguese) and publication period (2010 to 2022) was adopted as inclusion criteria.Results:It was shown that there are several risk factors for inadequate vitamin D status in pregnant and lactating women, such as low skin exposure to sunlight and related factors (excessive use of sunscreen, less time spent outdoors, climate, religion and cultural habits, higher education); darker skin pigmentation; low dietary intake of vitamin D and associated variables; the lowest maternal age; the first gestational trimester; primiparity and excess adipose tissue.Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant and lactating women is associated with different factors, witha main emphasis on low exposure to sunlight, darker skin pigmentation and excess adipose tissue. Furthermore, it is extremely important that these factors are approached with caution, implementing actions aimed at modifiable variables in order to help reduce hypovitaminosis D in these groups (AU).

Existe una herramienta, desarrollada en Estados Unidos, de evaluación de la alimentación pediátrica (PediEAT), que permite identificar síntomas problemáticos. Objetivo. Realizar una adaptación transcultural para una versión argentina, con adecuación cultural y equivalencia semántica respecto a su versión original. Población y métodos. Se utilizó una versión autoadministrada del PediEAT que fue respondida por familias y/o cuidadores de niños de 6 meses a 7 años. Se realizó una primera fase de evaluación de validez del contenido con un grupo de expertos. Luego, una fase de pretest con familias mediante entrevistas cognitivas para comprobar la comprensión de las palabras y frases. Se realizaron las modificaciones necesarias para que quedara adaptada al contexto. Resultados. En la fase de evaluación de validez del contenido con el grupo de 8 expertos, de los 80 ítems se modificaron 36. En el pretest, se realizaron entrevistas cognitivas a 18 cuidadores; se realizaron cambios en 11 ítems para mejorar la comprensión por parte de la población argentina. La versión argentina fue aprobada por los autores originales. Conclusiones. El instrumento PediEAT versión argentina resulta lingüísticamente equivalente a su versión original, lo que permite su uso para la detección de problemáticas alimentarias en niños.


Introduction. During childhood, children may experience some degree of difficulty eating. A tool (PediEAT) has been developed in the United States and is available to assess pediatric eating and to identify problematic symptoms. Objective. To obtain an Argentine version that is transculturally adapted, culturally adequate, and semantically equivalent to the original version. Population and methods. A self-administered version of the PediEAT was used and completed by families and/or caregivers of children aged 6 months to 7 years. In the first phase, content validity was assessed by a group of experts. This was followed by a pre-test phase with families using cognitive interviews to test word and phrase comprehension. The necessary changes were made to obtain a version adapted to the context. Results. The tool's content validity was assessed by a group of 8 experts; as a result, 36 of the 80 items were changed. During the pre-test phase, cognitive interviews were conducted with 18 caregivers; 11 items were changed to improve comprehension by the Argentine population. The Argentine version was approved by the original authors. Conclusions. The Argentine version of the PediEAT tool is linguistically equivalent to the original version, and this allows its use to screen for feeding problems in children.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la lactancia y los factores relacionados (edad, nivel educativo, edad al momento del primer embarazo, etc.) y las prácticas de alimentación complementaria de las madres refugiadas sirias y las madres turcas. Materiales y métodos: este estudio descriptivo y comparativo analizó las características nutricionales de los bebés de 9 a 60 meses de edad cuyas madres fueran turcas o refugiadas sirias que asistieron al Hospital Público de Kiziltepe entre enero y julio de 2022. Resultados: se incluyó a 204 madres (126 turcas y 78 sirias). La edad promedio de las madres turcas era 27,60 ± 5,17 años y la de las refugiadas sirias, 28,91 ± 5,62 años, sin una diferencia significativa entre ambos grupos (p: 0,091). La lactancia materna posparto fue del 91,3 % y la duración de la lactancia fue de 12 meses (0-24) en las ciudadanas turcas, mientras que, en las refugiadas sirias, fue del 84,6 % y 9 meses (0-24), respectivamente (consumo de leche materna, p: 0,144; tiempo de consumo, p: 0,161; sin diferencias estadísticas). El 23,8 % de las ciudadanas turcas y el 5,1 % de las refugiadas sirias recibieron capacitación sobre la lactancia, con una diferencia significativa entre ambos grupos (p: 0,001). Conclusión: en los grupos de refugiadas, las prácticas de nutrición infantil y materna se ven alteradas. En colaboración con las organizaciones locales e internacionales y los organismos estatales que ayudan a los grupos de refugiados se podrían mejorar las prácticas de nutrición maternoinfantil y reducir las brechas.


Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare breastfeeding and related factors (age, level of education, age at first pregnancy, etc.), and complementary feeding practices between Syrian refugee and native Turkish mothers. Material and methods: This descriptive-comparative study examined the nutritional characteristics of infants aged 9 to 60 months whose mothers were Turkish or Syrian refugees who attended Kiziltepe State Hospital between January 2022 and July 2022. Results: 204 mothers (126 Turkish and 78 Syrian) who had a child aged 9-60 months were included. The average age of the mothers was 27.60 ± 5.17 years for Turkish citizens and 28.91 ± 5.62 for Syrian refugees, without significant difference between the two groups (p: 0.091). Postpartum breastfeeding was 91.3% and breastfeeding duration was 12 (0-24) months in Turkish citizens; in Syrian refugees, breastfeeding was 84.6% and average breastfeeding time was 9 (0- 24) months (respectively, breast milk intake p: 0.144, uptake time p: 0.161; no statistical difference). Breastfeeding training was received by 23.8% of Turkish citizens and 5.1% of Syrian refugees; there was a significant difference between the two groups (p: 0.001). Conclusion: In refugee groups, infant and maternal nutrition practices are disrupted. Working in conjunction with local and international organizations and state agencies that give help to refugee groups, the appropriate interventions, initiatives, supports, and awareness-raising activities would strive to improve practices in mother and baby nutrition and narrow gaps.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Contar con los datos del consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados en los niños resulta importante para planificar políticas públicas. Objetivos. Describir la prevalencia de consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados en menores de 2 años e identificar factores asociados. Describir la proporción que los alimentos ultraprocesados representan del número total de los alimentos consumidos en el día. Métodos. Análisis secundario de los datos de niños entre 6 y 23 meses de edad con al menos un recordatorio de 24 horas de consumo de alimentos de la Segunda Encuesta Nacional de Nutrición y Salud de Argentina del año 2018. Se estudiaron como variables principales: "consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados" (según el sistema NOVA) categorizada en sí/no y la "proporción de ultraprocesados del total de alimentos consumidos". Los factores asociados explorados fueron lactancia materna, sexo, edad y el número de alimentos no ultraprocesados consumidos. Se realizó un modelo de regresión logística multivariable y se aplicó un factor de expansión para ponderar los datos. Resultados. Se incluyeron 4224 niños (ponderado 908 104). La prevalencia de consumo de ultraprocesados fue del 90,8 % (IC95%: 89,5-92) y fue asociado con mayor edad (OR 3,21; IC95% 2,28-4,52) y con el número de alimentos no ultraprocesados consumidos (OR 1,17; IC95% 1,13-1,23). Los ultraprocesados representaron una mediana del 20 % (RIC: 12,5-28,6 %) del total de alimentos consumidos en el día. Conclusiones. Este estudio señala la alta penetración de los alimentos ultraprocesados en la alimentación complementaria.


Introduction. The availability of data on the consumption of ultra-processed foods among children is important for planning public policies. Objectives. To describe the prevalence of consumption of ultra-processed foods in children under 2 years of age and identify associated factors. To describe the proportion that ultra-processed foods represent out of the total number of foods consumed in a day. Methods. Secondary analysis of data from children aged 6­23 months with at least a 24-hour recall of food consumption based on the Second National Survey on Nutrition and Health of Argentina (2018). The following primary variables were studied: "consumption of ultra-processed foods" (according to the NOVA system) categorized into yes/no and "proportion of ultra-processed out of total foods consumed." The following associated factors were studied: breastfeeding, sex, age, and number of non-ultra-processed foods consumed. A multivariate logistic regression model was developed and an expansion factor was applied to weight the data. Results. A total of 4224 children were included (weighed: 908 104). The prevalence of ultra-processed food consumption was 90.8% (95% CI: 89.5­92) and was associated with an older age (OR: 3.21, 95% CI: 2.28­4.52) and the number of non-ultra-processed foods consumed (OR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.13­1.23). Ultra-processed foods accounted for a median 20% (IQR: 12.5­28.6%) of all foods consumed in a day. Conclusions. This study highlights the high penetration of ultra-processed foods in complementary feeding.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La preeclampsia es una afectación multisistémica que contribuye a la morbilidad y mortalidad materna junto con importantes complicaciones fetales. Dado que se ha observado que el consumo de frutas y vegetales posee un efecto beneficioso en la reducción del riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, el consumo de estos alimentos también podría reducir el riesgo de desarrollo de preeclampsia en la mujer embarazada. Objetivo: Analizar el impacto del consumo de frutas y vegetales en el riesgo de desarrollo de preeclampsia en la mujer embarazada. Metodología: Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática siguiendo la metodología PRISMA. Las bases de datos utilizadas fueron Scopus, Pubmed y Web of Science. Se han incluido artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años, escritos en inglés o español y de acceso gratuito. La calidad metodológica se evaluó mediante la escala de STROBE y MINCIR. Resultados: Se han seleccionado nueve artículos para dar respuesta al objetivo planteado. El porcentaje de gestantes con un patrón dietético basado en frutas y vegetales que desarrolla preeclampsia es relativamente bajo, oscilando entre el 7 y el 8,8%. Así mismo, la mayoría de los estudios seleccionados muestran que la ingesta de frutas y vegetales tiene un efecto protector en el desarrollo de preeclampsia y, que este efecto protector es directamente proporcional al número de raciones consumidas de estos alimentos. Conclusiones: La literatura disponible para analizar el impacto que tiene el consumo de frutas y vegetales en el riesgo de desarrollo de preeclampsia es muy limitada. Por ello, se insta a realizar más investigaciones sobre este tema para poder aportar unos resultados más robustos.


Introduction: Preeclampsia is a multisystem affectation that contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality along with important fetal complications. Since it has been observed that the consumption of fruits and vegetables has a beneficial effect in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, the consumption of these foods could also reduce the risk and development of preeclampsia in pregnant women. Objective: To analyze the impact of fruit and vegetable consumption on the risk of development of preeclampsia in pregnant women. Methodology: A systematic review has been carried out following the PRISMA methodology. The databases used were Scopus, Pubmed and Web of Science. Articles published in the last five years, written in English or Spanish and with free access have been included. Methodological quality was assessed using the STROBE and MINCIR scales. Results: There have been selected nine articles to provide a response to the proposed objective. The percentage of pregnant women with a dietary pattern based on fruits and vegetables who develop preeclampsia is relatively low, ranging between 7 and 8.8%. Likewise, most of the selected studies show that the intake of fruits and vegetables has a protective effect on the development of preeclampsia and that this protective effect is directly proportional to the number of servings consumed of these foods. Conclusions: The literature available to analyze the impact that fruit and vegetable consumption has on the risk and development of preeclampsia is very limited. Therefore, more research on this topic is urged to provide more robust results.
