Abstract

Pregnancy outcomes are under the influence of maternal characteristics and environmental factors, diet being the most important. The benefits of the Mediterranean diet on all health indicators, including pregnancy, are well documented, placing at the top of the world’s healthiest diets. The aim was to investigate whether pregnant women living in the Mediterranean part of Croatia have better pregnancy outcomes in comparison to women living in the continental region. Observational longitudinal study was conducted in two Croatia’s regions: continental (city of Osijek and surrounding area) and coastal (city of Split and surrounding area). Even though women for the coastal region gained more weight during pregnancy (p=0.048) and prolonged gestation (p<0.001), maternal nutritional status has a higher influence on offspring’s nutritional status at delivery among women from the continental region. The incidence of pregnancy disorders (p<0.001) is higher among women from the continental region. Maternal weight prior to delivery was associated with caesarean section in both regions. Despite an unfavorable maternal nutritional status, both prior and during gestation and prolonged gestation, offspring’s nutritional status is better in the Mediterranean part of Croatia.

克罗地亚沿海和大陆地区妇女妊娠结局和产妇体重

妊娠结局受母体特征和环境因素的影响，其中饮食是最重要的。地中海饮食对包括怀孕在内的所有健康指标的益处是有据可查的，在世界上最健康的饮食中名列前茅。目的是调查生活在克罗地亚地中海地区的孕妇是否比生活在大陆地区的孕妇有更好的妊娠结局。在克罗地亚的两个地区进行了纵向观察研究:大陆地区(奥西耶克市及其周边地区)和沿海地区(斯普利特市及其周边地区)。尽管沿海地区妇女在怀孕期间体重增加较多(p=0.048)，妊娠期延长(p<0.001)，但大陆地区妇女产妇营养状况对子女分娩时营养状况的影响更大。妊娠障碍的发生率(p<0.001)在大陆地区的妇女中较高。在这两个地区，分娩前的产妇体重与剖腹产有关。尽管母亲的营养状况不佳，妊娠前和妊娠期间以及妊娠时间较长，但克罗地亚地中海地区的后代营养状况较好。
