To assess the nutritional intake and gestational weight gain of pregnant women and the relationship between nutritional intake, gestational weight gain, and neonatal birth weight.
A prospective cohort study was carried out in three districts of Songkhla Province in southern Thailand. Nutritional intakes were calculated based on a 24-h food record and a food frequency checklist. The women were followed until delivery and the neonatal birth weight recorded.
Two hundred and thirty-six pregnant women with a mean age of 27.2 +/- 6.2 years were recruited. The average daily energy intake was 1806 +/- 482 kcal. The average gestational weight gain was 12.2 +/- 4.6 kg and the average neonatal birth weight was 3054 +/- 474 g. Micronutrient intakes were overall inadequate averaging only 50-80% of recommended levels. Neonatal birth weight was significantly positively correlated with gestational weight gain (r = 0.17, p = 0.01), but was not correlated with maternal nutritional intakes.
Pregnant women in rural areas of Songkhla Province consume adequate macronutrients with appropriate gestational weight gain, but generally consume inadequate micronutrients. A nutritional education program explaining the importance of micronutrients should be a focus of a public education program.
评估孕妇的营养摄入和孕期体重增加情况，以及营养摄入、孕期体重增加与新生儿出生体重之间的关系。
在泰国南部宋卡府的三个地区开展了一项前瞻性队列研究。根据24小时食物记录和食物频率清单计算营养摄入量。对这些女性进行随访直至分娩，并记录新生儿出生体重。
招募了236名平均年龄为27.2±6.2岁的孕妇。平均每日能量摄入量为1806±482千卡。平均孕期体重增加为12.2±4.6千克，平均新生儿出生体重为3054±474克。微量营养素摄入量总体不足，平均仅为推荐水平的50 - 80%。新生儿出生体重与孕期体重增加显著正相关（r = 0.17，p = 0.01），但与母亲的营养摄入量无关。
宋卡府农村地区的孕妇摄入了足够的宏量营养素，孕期体重增加适当，但微量营养素的摄入普遍不足。解释微量营养素重要性的营养教育项目应成为公共教育项目的重点。
