Abstract

- Optimal nutrition during pregnancy is vital for both maternal and child health. Our objective was to explore if prenatal diet is associated with children’s height and body fat. Nutrient intake was assessed through a food-frequency questionnaire from 808 pregnant women and summarized to a nutrition index, "My Nutrition Index"(MNI). The association with children’s height and body fat (bioimpedance) was assessed with linear regression models. Secondary analysis was performed with BMI, trunk fat and skinfolds. Overall, higher MNI score was associated with greater height (β=0.47; (95% CI: 0.00, 0.94), among both sexes. Among boys, higher MNI was associated with 0.15 higher BMI z-scores, 0.12 body fat z-scores, 0.11 trunk fat z-scores, and larger triceps, and triceps + subscapular skinfolds (β=0.05 and β=0.06; on the log2 scale) (p-value<0.05). Among girls, the opposite associations were found with 0.12 lower trunk fat z-scores, and smaller subscapular and suprailiac skinfolds (β= -0.07 and β= -0.10; on the log2 scale) (p-value<0.05). For skinfold measures this would represent a ±1.0 millimeters difference. Unexpectedly, a prenatal diet in line with recommended nutrient intake was associated with higher measures of body fat for boys and opposite to girls at a pre-pubertal stage of development.
