All articles evaluated the use of nutrient supplements; iron supplements (n = 1), vitamin supplements (composition not mentioned; n = 1), or calcium supplements (n = 1). This review suggests that mHealth interventions can be used to improve intake of micronutrient supplementation and nutritional status of pregnant women in LLMIC. Further studies are needed to address the limited evidence base related to mHealth nutrition interventions targeting dietary intakes of pregnant women in LLMIC.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:53:59 AEDT ]]> A brief tool to assess image-based dietary records and guide nutrition counselling among pregnant women: an evaluation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29727 P<.001) and all selected micronutrients (iron, calcium, zinc, folate, and iodine, ρ range .510-.955, all P<.05), both with and without vitamin and mineral supplements included in the analysis. Cohen kappa showed moderate to substantial agreement for selected micronutrients when supplements were included (kappa range .488-.803, all P ≤.001) and for calcium, iodine, and zinc when excluded (kappa range .554-.632, all P<.001). A total of 17 women reported changing their diet as a result of the personalized nutrition advice. Conclusions: The SNaQ tool demonstrated acceptable validity for assessing adequacy of key pregnancy nutrient intakes and preliminary evidence of utility to support dietitians in providing women with personalized advice to optimize nutrition during pregnancy.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:51:52 AEST ]]> Validation of a smartphone image-based dietary assessment method for pregnant women https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30434 Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:17:15 AEST ]]> Factors associated with effective nutrition interventions for pregnant Indigenous women: a systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31193 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:53 AEDT ]]> Maternal diet during early childhood, but not pregnancy, predicts diet quality and fruit and vegetable acceptance in offspring https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26813 in utero results in acceptance of a greater variety of these foods and better diet quality for offspring during childhood. This study is a secondary data analysis of pregnant women (n=52) and their resulting offspring recruited for the Women and Their Children's Health study in NSW, Australia. Dietary intake of mothers and children was measured using food frequency questionnaires. Diet quality and vegetable and fruit variety were calculated using the Australian Recommended Food Score and the Australian Child and Adolescent Recommended Food Score. Associations between maternal and child diet quality and variety were assessed using Pearson's correlations and the total effect of in utero maternal pregnancy diet on childhood diet was decomposed into direct and indirect effect using mediation analysis. Maternal pregnancy and post-natal diet were both correlated with child diet for overall diet quality and fruit and vegetable variety (P<0.001). Mediation analyses showed that the indirect effect of maternal pregnancy diet on child diet was mediated through maternal post-natal diet, particularly for fruit (P=0.045) and vegetables (P=0.055). Nutrition intervention should therefore be aimed at improving diet quality and variety in mothers with young children, in order to subsequently improve eating habits of offspring.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:28 AEDT ]]>
