Abstract
Higher sociodemographic status is associated with adequate nutrient intake and food security. Adequate choline intake is vital during pregnancy to support fetal development. In this cross-sectional study, information was obtained from 682 pregnant women attending an ante-natal clinic in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Sociodemographic indicators that were bivariately significantly associated with a choline intake below the adequate intake level (AI) included a higher household density ratio, no access to own flush toilets at home, household not owning a refrigerator or microwave, as well as a lower level of education. Approximately one-third of participants were severely food-insecure. Logistic regression analysis, adjusted for energy intake, showed that household overcrowding increased the odds of a choline intake below the AI (OR 1.71).
期刊介绍：
Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
