Sažetak
Introduction: Inadequate GWG was associated with a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcome. Our earlier reports, consistent to other studies, have shown that almost 50% of pregnant women exhibit excessive GWG. This study aimed to compare the reported energy intake obtained from food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and energy requirements during pregnancy in order to determine awareness of excessive energy intake. Materials and methods: The study included sixty-five healthy pregnant women between 37 and 40 weeks of gestation. A 4-terminal portable impedance analyzer (Maltron Bioscan 920-II, Maltron International Ltd., U.K.) was used for to calculate resting metabolic rate (RMR kcal). EPIC-Norfolk FFQ was used to calculate reported energy intake during pregnancy. Individual ratio between reported energy intake (EIrep) and RMR (EIrep/RMR) was calculated. Goldberg cutoffs were used to evaluate reported energy intake by FFQ. Participants were categorized as low energy reporters (LERs) and non-LERs. Results: Reported energy intake (EIrep) was significantly below the recommended values for the third trimester of pregnancy (EIrep 1941 ± 638 vs. recommended RMR 2130 ± 93, p < 0.001). 42.2% of participants were classified as low energy reporters (LERs). Conclusions: Taking into consideration a total of 49% of pregnant women exhibiting excessive GWG and 42.2% of LERs, we can conclude that there is a high proportion of pregnant women unaware of energy intake what can partially be attributed to self-deception. Once more we emphasize a need for more comprehensive and detailed nutrition counseling for all women during pregnancy.
