Diet and Health examines the many complex issues concerning diet and its role in increasing or decreasing the risk of chronic disease. It proposes dietary recommendations for reducing the risk of the major diseases and causes of death today: atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (including heart attack and stroke), cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, and dental caries.
Weight Gain During Pregnancy
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309131138
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 868
Book Description
As women of childbearing age have become heavier, the trade-off between maternal and child health created by variation in gestational weight gain has become more difficult to reconcile. Weight Gain During Pregnancy responds to the need for a reexamination of the 1990 Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy. It builds on the conceptual framework that underscored the 1990 weight gain guidelines and addresses the need to update them through a comprehensive review of the literature and independent analyses of existing databases. The book explores relationships between weight gain during pregnancy and a variety of factors (e.g., the mother's weight and height before pregnancy) and places this in the context of the health of the infant and the mother, presenting specific, updated target ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and guidelines for proper measurement. New features of this book include a specific range of recommended gain for obese women. Weight Gain During Pregnancy is intended to assist practitioners who care for women of childbearing age, policy makers, educators, researchers, and the pregnant women themselves to understand the role of gestational weight gain and to provide them with the tools needed to promote optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Book Description
Pregnancy is a viewed as a window to future health. With the birth of the developmental origins of human adult disease hypothesis, research and clinical practice has turned its attention to the influence of maternal factors such as health and lifestyle surrounding pregnancy as a means to understand and prevent the inter-generational inheritance of chronic disease susceptibility. Outcomes during pregnancy have long-lasting impacts on both women on children. Moreover, nutrition early in life can influence growth and the establishment of lifelong eating habits and behaviors. This Special Issue on “Nutrition during Pregnancy and Lactation: Implications for Maternal and Infant Health” is intended to highlight new epidemiological, mechanistic and interventional studies that investigate maternal nutrition around the pregnancy period on maternal and infant outcomes. Submissions may include original research, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Book Description
Background: Energy intake under-reporting is widespread, yet poorly understood during pregnancy. Adequate energy intake and energy balance are essential for optimizing maternal and fetal outcomes, including gestational weight gain. Inaccurate self-reported energy intake may result in erroneous nutrition education from health professionals during pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to examine the trends (i.e., changes over gestation), magnitude (i.e., degree of severity), and predictors (i.e., gestational age, anthropometrics, demographics, perceived stress, and eating behaviors) of energy intake under-reporting using intensive longitudinal data in a sample of pregnant women with overweight and obesity in the United States. Methods: This is a post hoc analysis using data from the Healthy Mom Zone Study. Pre-pregnancy weight and demographics were reported at study enrollment (at 8-12 weeks gestational age). Validated questionnaires were completed weekly to assess perceived stress and monthly to assess eating behaviors. Mobile health technology was used to measure daily weight (Wi-Fi Scale) and physical activity (activity monitor) and tri-weekly self-reported energy intake (smartphone app). An energy balance model was used to calculate energy intake with the inputs of measured weight, physical activity, and resting metabolic rate. Reporting accuracy was defined as: [(self-reported EI -- back-calculated EI) / back-calculated EI)] * 100%. Linear fixed effects modelling was used to test whether each predictor was associated with under-reporting. Results: Women were, on average, 30.7 years old, married, well-educated, pregnant with their first child (64%), and had overweight or obesity (mean BMI=31.5). Women under-reported by 36% of their estimated energy intake, on average. Energy intake under-reporting increased significantly between trimesters from 28% (first) to 33% (second) to 39% (third) (p
