Longitudinal dietary trajectories from pregnancy to 3 years post delivery in women with obesity: relationships with adiposity
Authors' conclusion
In women with obesity, a processed dietary pattern across pregnancy and 3 years post delivery is associated with higher adiposity.
Study context
- Population
- Women with obesity in the UPBEAT study; diet assessed by food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) at 15+0 to 18+6, 27+0 to 28+6 and 34+0 to 36+0 weeks' gestation, and 6 months and 3 years post delivery
- Participants
- 1,208 women
- Comparison
- High vs low adherence to dietary pattern trajectories
- Primary endpoint
- Adiposity measures (BMI, waist and mid-upper arm circumferences; log-transformed/standardized)
- Follow-up
- 3 years post delivery
Methodological detailslongitudinal, group-based trajectory modeling, adjusted regression
- Longitudinal
- Group-based trajectory modeling
- Adjusted regression
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Processed dietary pattern, high vs low adherence: adiposity
Β (BMI)
0.38
95% CI 0.06–0.69
processed pattern; higher BMI
Β (waist circumference)
0.35
95% CI 0.03–0.67
processed pattern; higher waist
Β (mid-upper arm circumference)
0.36
95% CI 0.04–0.67
processed pattern; higher mid-upper arm circumference
