“…It was observed that the mother's average weight, BMI and body composition parameters were unchanged during early pregnancy, indicating that changes had begun after the first quarter [22]. In our study, we observed a significant increase in the mean values of body composition in multigravidae when compared to primigravidae.…”

“…A longitudinal study followed 170 pregnant women and observed elevation in body weight, total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW), confirming that the fat deposition and the increased fluid retention appear to be responsible for gestational weight gain [20]. When comparing primigravidae and multigravidae by the segmental BIA method in the first trimester, it was observed that the mother's average weight, the BMI and the parameters of body composition remain unchanged during early pregnancy, indicating that these changes should start after the first quarter [22].…”

Objectives: To describe and compare the mean values of the body composition and the peak expiratory flow (PEF) in primigravidae and multigravidae and, to determine its correlation with obstetric, anthropometric and body composition variables. Method:It was performed a cross-sectional study of 120 healthy pregnant women at low risk, including 77 primigravidae and 43 multigravidae. The PEF was measured by spirometry and the body composition by multisegmental electrical impedance. The unpaired t test was used to compare the groups and the Pearson correlation test was used to determine the association between PEF and independent variables. A multiple linear regression was used to estimate the relationship between the dependent variable, the PEF and the independent variables. Results: The body composition variables in multigravidae womenshowed higher values compared to the primigravidae, being statistically significant, except for fat mass. In primigravidae, the PEF was correlated significantly with maternal age and height. In multigravidae, the PEF was correlated with maternal age, height, pre-pregnancy and current weight, total body water, extracellular water, fat mass, lean mass and fat-free mass. A Multiple linear regression analysis showed that, in primigravidae, height and maternal age were associated with

“…Maternal weight, used in calculating BMI, was measured at the first visit to the maternal welfare clinic. If the mother had her first clinic visit after the 10th week of pregnancy, her weight for the 10th week was estimated based on the difference between her weight at the first and last maternal clinic visit assuming linear weight gain during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy (28,29) . Information on paternal weight and height was not collected from fathers of the 6-year-olds.…”

Objective: The objective was to develop a Finnish Children Healthy Eating Index (FCHEI), to determine the relative validity of the index and to examine associations between the index and familial sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. Design: Cross-sectional samples of children participating in a population-based birth cohort study in Finland. Setting: Type I Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) Study cohort. Subjects: Three-day food records from 1-year-old (n 455), 3-year-old (n 471) and 6-year-old (n 713) children were completed between 2003 and 2005. Results: Validity of the FCHEI was assessed by studying the associations between the FCHEI and nutrient intakes of the children. Among all age groups, intakes of SFA and sugars decreased across increasing quartiles of the FCHEI while intakes of PUFA, dietary fibre, vitamin D and vitamin E increased. Among 3-and 6-yearolds, being cared for at home was associated with the lowest FCHEI quartile (diet that deviates most from the recommendations). The lowest FCHEI quartile was also associated with residence in a semi-urban area among the 3-year-olds and low maternal education and smoking during pregnancy among the 6-year-olds. Conclusions: The FCHEI serves as a valid indicator of the quality of Finnish children's diet. Public health programmes aimed at improving the dietary behaviours of pre-school aged children should aim to improve the quality of food served at home. Families with history of lower parental education, maternal smoking during pregnancy or non-urban place of residence may require special attention.

“…A Scottish study found that the prevalence of obesity had increased from 9.4% to 18.9% over a 12 year period (Kanagalingam et al, 2005). In other studies in Britain and Ireland, nearly a fifth of women booking for antenatal care were obese (Fattah et al, 2010;CMACE 2010). The severity of obesity is also increasing.…”
