The Healthiest Babies Possible Program (HBP) is a prenatal intervention program for the City of Toronto and is designed to reduce the incidence of low birth weight babies. This study was undertaken to assess the impact of the HBP on dietary change and birth outcome for underweight and overweight expectant mothers. Dietary change was measured by the use of food scores applied to 24-hour dietary recalls throughout the pregnancy. Three recalls collected during the early stage of the program were selected to represent early interventions; three of the results collected during the latter stage of the program represent the late stage of intervention. Birth outcome was determined by weight gain and infant birth weight. For both groups, food scores improved throughout the early intervention period and the improvements were sustained through the remainder of the program. During pregnancy the underweight women gained more weight than the overweight women but delivered infants with lower birth weights.
“尽可能健康宝宝”项目(HBP)是一项针对多伦多市的产前干预项目,旨在降低低体重儿的发生率。本研究旨在评估HBP对体重过轻和超重的准妈妈饮食变化及分娩结局的影响。饮食变化通过在整个孕期对24小时饮食回忆应用食物评分来衡量。在项目早期收集的三次回忆被选来代表早期干预;在项目后期收集的三次结果代表干预后期。分娩结局由体重增加和婴儿出生体重决定。对于两组来说,在早期干预期内食物评分均有所改善,且这些改善在项目剩余阶段得以维持。孕期体重过轻的女性比超重女性体重增加更多,但所分娩婴儿的出生体重更低。
