In a study of the Asian pregnancy, the dietary intakes of 813 Asians and 54 Europeans living in Harrow were compared. Results of calculation of intakes of iron and vitamins are presented in this paper. The key findings were that vitamins D and B12 intakes were markedly lower amongst the Asians, particularly the Hindu vegetarians. Asians had lower intakes of other vitamins but these levels are unlikely to lead to deficiency and therefore not relevant in clinical terms. The Hindu vegetarians can be regarded as a fairly homogenous group with differences occurring within the group only in vitamin B12 intake. From the nutritional data it appears unnecessary to advocate any change in the Gujarati diet other than supplementation with vitamin D.
在一项关于亚洲人孕期情况的研究中，对居住在哈罗的813名亚洲人和54名欧洲人的饮食摄入量进行了比较。本文呈现了铁和维生素摄入量的计算结果。主要发现是，亚洲人，尤其是印度教素食者，维生素D和B12的摄入量明显较低。亚洲人其他维生素的摄入量也较低，但这些水平不太可能导致缺乏，因此从临床角度来看并无关联。印度教素食者可被视为一个相当同质化的群体，该群体内部仅在维生素B12摄入量上存在差异。从营养数据来看，除了补充维生素D之外，似乎没有必要提倡对古吉拉特饮食进行任何改变。
