It was observed that the diet of pregnant women is characterised by low levels of Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, vitamin D, and folic acid. The concentration of zinc and magnesium in the women’s hair was shown to be affected by their age and, in the case of magnesium, by the week of pregnancy.
Low levels of Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, vitamin D, and folic acid intake were seen in the pregnant women, with the use of dietary supplements significantly increasing their intake of Fe, Zn, and folic acid. The results were analysed using the Dietetyk and Statistica 10 software. Hair samples were taken for testing and the level of each mineral was assessed using atomic absorption spectrometry. We used a questionnaire and a 24-h recall nutrition interview. The study was conducted on 108 pregnant women ages 18–42, at 6–32 weeks of gestation. Conclusions Folate concentrations in amniotic fluid are associated with maternal and neonatal folate status peripartum in healthy women.Ībstract: To evaluate the dietary intake of pregnant women and their nutritional status of Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Cu, as the nutritional status of pregnant women is an important factor for the proper progression of a pregnancy and the development and health of the foetus. Pre-pregnancy body mass index and maternal weight/neonatal birth weight ratio were independent predictors of folate concentrations in maternal serum (β = 0.33, p < 0.05 β = -0.19, p < 0.05) and amniotic fluid (β = 0.28, p < 0.05 β = -0.19, p < 0.05) in late pregnancy. Folate concentrations in amniotic fluid were significantly associated with maternal age (rho = 0.19, p < 0.05). Results Strong correlations were observed between the concentrations of folate in amniotic fluid and maternal serum (rho = 0.67, p < 0.001) and amniotic fluid and cord blood serum (rho = 0.49, p < 0.001) and between maternal serum and cord blood serum (rho = 0.67, p < 0.001). Folate concentration was determined using a microbiological assay. Amniotic fluid, maternal serum, and umbilical cord blood samples were collected during vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Only pregnancies without birth defects were included in this study. Material and methods This study was conducted on 175 pregnant Polish women (white/Caucasian) aged between 17 and 42 years.
The main aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to determine the folate concentrations in amniotic fluid and in maternal and umbilical cord blood serum derived during delivery. However, the role of folate in the third trimester of pregnancy is not clear and folate status in late pregnancy has not so far been widely analyzed. A decline in maternal circulating folate concentrations and an increase in total homocysteine (a non-specific indicator of folate deficiency) have been observed with the progression of pregnancy.
