Sažetak
Introduction: Present study aimed to investigate diet quality in healthy pregnant women at the third trimester of pregnancy based on the comparison of results from Epic-Norfolk food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and current nutritional recommendations (RDA). Materials and methods: This study included 27 healthy pregnant women between 37 and 40 weeks of gestation. All subjects completed two part FFQ ; part 1 included a food list of 130 lines with a frequency of consumption for each line, and part 2 contains questions regarding more detailed information about food lines in part 1. Epic-Norfolk FFQ was downloaded, translated to Croatian, and processed using FFQ EPIC Tool for Analysis (FETA) (https://www.epic-norfolk.org.uk/for- researchers/ffq/). Results: Average daily energy intake was 1993(713) kcal/day (RDA 2550 kcal/day), with 16% of daily energy coming from protein intake (RDA 10-35%), 46% of total energy coming from carbohydrates (RDA 45-65%), and 38% of energy coming from fat intake (RDA 20-35%). Regarding micronutrients, average daily intake was as follows: iron 10.5(3.6) mg/day (RDA 27 mg/day), folate 274(87) mcg/day (600 mcg/day), iodine 153(60) mcg/day (220 mcg/day), calcium 0.96(0.34) g/day (RDA 1.0-1.3 g/day), and vitamin D 2.8(1.7) mcg/day (RDA 5.0-15.0 mcg/day). Conclusion: Total energy intake in healthy pregnant women was below the recommended values ; energy derived from protein and carbohydrates intake was closer to the lower limit of the recommendations, while total fats intake exceeded the recommended reference. Inadequacy was also observed for micronutrients intake, essential to maintain fetal growth and development, showing suboptimal intake of iron, folate, iodine and vitamin D, while only daily calcium intake was optimal.
