Obesity and diet contents of protein and fat are associated with underreport of energy at pregnancy

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the association of pre-pregnancy and current body mass index density dietary macronutrients on underreporting energy intake at pregnancy. Methods: cross-sectional analysis 327 postpartum women from city Mesquita, in Rio de Janeiro. A food frequency questionnaire was administered maternity ward having last six months pregnancy as time frame. Energy balance considered outcome, it calculated division by basal metabolic rate (underreport <1.35). Multivariate logistic regression applied test associations between (pre-gestational postpartum) or not). Dietary protein (4th quartile), carbohydrate (1st quartile) fat were tested. Results: mean 2,894 kcal near 25% underreported during Obese had higher chance (OR=1.90; CI95%=1.09-3.33) being Underreported presented greater report with contents (OR=2.37; CI95%=1.37-4.09) lower (OR= .81; CI95%=1.04-3.15). Conclusion: pregnant great amounts densities.
