It is suggested that pregnancy risks may be related to microbial dysbiosis, and it is known that knowledge on this subject is reflected in behaviors. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether microbiota awareness in the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with pregnancy-related risks.
Within the scope of the study, the microbiota awareness scale was administered to 426 individuals in the first trimester of pregnancy, and information on any diagnosis related to high-risk pregnancy, gestational age, birth weight, and birth height of the newborn was obtained from their file records.
The mean total microbiota awareness score of individuals was 61.38 ± 11.00 (26.00-91.00). The microbiota awareness score (56.85 ± 11.65) was found to be lower in individuals diagnosed with high-risk pregnancy (p < 0.05) than in healthy subjects (63.64 ± 9.94). Moreover, in individuals with high-risk pregnancies, a positive correlation was found between the microbiota awareness score and newborn birth weight and height (p < 0.05).
The poor microbiota awareness level in pregnant women is associated with high-risk pregnancy and neonatal growth status.
有观点认为，妊娠风险可能与微生物失调有关，而人们对于这一主题的了解反映在行为中。本研究旨在调查孕妇在妊娠早期的微生物组意识是否与妊娠相关风险有关。
在研究范围内，向 426 名处于妊娠早期的个体发放了微生物组意识量表，并从他们的档案记录中获取了与高危妊娠、胎龄、新生儿出生体重和出生身高相关的任何诊断信息。
个体的平均总微生物组意识评分为 61.38±11.00（26.00-91.00）。与健康个体（63.64±9.94）相比，被诊断为高危妊娠的个体（56.85±11.65）的微生物组意识评分较低（p<0.05）。此外，在高危妊娠的个体中，微生物组意识评分与新生儿出生体重和身高呈正相关（p<0.05）。
孕妇的微生物组意识水平较差与高危妊娠和新生儿生长状况有关。
