Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the association of prenatal folic acid (PF) supplements on the onset of postpartum depression (PPD) in Chinese women. Of the 629 subjects, 540 were cases who took PF supplements and 89 were controls who did not take PF. Univariate analysis showed that maternal age and body mass index were the most significant risk factors for developing PPD. Threshold effect analysis showed that maternal age of more than 26 years was an independent determinant of PPD. Current findings with PF supplements are insufficient to attenuate the onset of PPD.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
