Abstract
Little is known about diet based on maternal fasting blood glucose (FBG) and birth outcomes in diverse populations. We hypothesized that racial/ethnic-derived FBG-based diets would predict birth outcomes better than a diet derived from the overall sample. Pregnant Hispanic/Latina (n = 420) and non-Hispanic White (n = 564) individuals (combined, n=984) from two Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) cohorts provided ≥ 1 24-h diet recalls. We evaluated primary (birthweight [BW]-for-age, macrosomia, large-for-gestational age, and preterm birth) and secondary (BW, gestational age [GA] at birth, low birthweight (LBW), and small-for-gestational age) birth outcomes. Reduced-rank regression with maternal FBG was used to derive dietary patterns in the combined and racial/ethnic samples. We used multivariable linear and logistic regression to estimate diet associations with birth outcomes. In each racial/ethnic group, seemingly unrelated estimation with clustering was used to test differences in diet coefficients between combined and racial/ethnic-specific models. The overall sample diet was characterized by higher intakes of refined grains and lower intakes of whole grains, solid fats, and nuts and seeds; racial/ethnic-derived diets were similar, with some exceptions. A one-standard deviation increase in the combined pattern was significantly associated with lower BW-for-age (β = –0.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: –0.16, –0.004), BW (β = –57.5, 95% CI: –94.8, –20.2), and GA at birth (β = –0.13, 95% CI: –0.24, –0.01) and greater odds of preterm birth (OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.94) and LBW (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.07, 2.46), with pronounced coefficients in racial/ethnic-derived diets. Overall, racial/ethnic-derived FBG diets predicted adverse birth outcomes better than the diet derived from the overall sample in each racial/ethnic group.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
