High-quality maternal diets during pregnancy may protect against these adverse birth outcomes.\u0000\u0000\u0000OBJECTIVES\u0000The aim of this study was to prospectively examine the association of maternal dietary diversity and quality during pregnancy with birth outcomes among women in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000We analyzed data from 7553 HIV-negative pregnant women enrolled in a multivitamin trial at 12-27 weeks of gestation. Dietary intake was assessed using 24-h dietary recalls. Dietary diversity scores (DDS; range: 0-10) were computed as the number of food groups consumed by women, using FAO's Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women index. The Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS; range: 0-42) assessed maternal diet quality based on consumption of 21 healthy and unhealthy food groups. Log binomial regression methods were used to assess associations of DDS and PDQS with PTB, SGA, LBW, and fetal loss.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000In the previous 24 h, 99.9% of all women had consumed cereal and staples, 57.9% meats, 4.7% eggs, and 0.5% nuts and seeds. Median DDS was 3.0 (IQR: 2.5-3.5). For the PDQS, all women consumed ≥4 servings/wk of green leafy vegetables and refined grains. Higher DDS was associated with lower risk of SGA (RR highest compared with lowest quintile: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.89). Higher PDQS was associated with lower risk of PTB (RR highest compared with lowest quintile: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.46, 0.66), LBW (RR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.40, 0.70), and fetal loss (RR: 0.53; 95% CI, 0.34, 0.82).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000PDQS was inversely associated with PTB, LBW, and fetal loss, and DDS was inversely associated with SGA. These findings suggest that in addition to dietary diversity, diet quality should be considered as important in understanding dietary risk factors for poor birth outcomes.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00197548.","PeriodicalId":315016,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of clinical nutrition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130932535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The studies contained information on dietary nicotine intake from 1986 from validated FFQs. Dietary nicotine intake was calculated based on consumption of peppers, tomatoes, processed tomatoes, potatoes, and tea. Incident cases of PD were identified via questionnaires and subsequently confirmed by reviewing medical records. We used Cox proportional hazard models to calculate cohort-specific HRs, and used fixed-effects models to calculate the pooled HR.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000During 26 y of follow-up, we identified 601 incident PD cases (296 women and 305 men).
