Nutritional state, physical activity and prenatal controls as relevant factors in pregnancy problems

Abstract:  Fostering a healthy lifestyle early in life, such as doing physical activity (PA), maintaining an adequate nutritional state (NS) and having medical check-ups, can provide multiple benefits for maternal and child’s health. The aim of this work was to analyze the type of PA,...

description Abstract:  Fostering a healthy lifestyle early in life, such as doing physical activity (PA), maintaining an adequate nutritional state (NS) and having medical check-ups, can provide multiple benefits for maternal and child’s health. The aim of this work was to analyze the type of PA, the attendance to health services, the NS, and its relationship with the occurrence of complications in pregnant women who attend public and private maternity hospitals in Córdoba city between 2020 and 2021. An observational, correlational and transactional study was carried out in a non-probabilistic sample - a convenience one - of 83 women, who were in the second half of their term of pregnancy at public and private medical centres in Córdoba city. A semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire inquired about the performance of PA, the anthropometric measurements - weight and height - before and during the term of pregnancy, the attendance to prenatal controls and socio-demographic variables. Logistic regression models were adjusted to women’s age to assess the association between the occurrence of pathological issues during pregnancy, and the performance of PA before the term of pregnancy, the NS - Body Mass Index (BMI) - and the attendance to check-ups with other professionals different than the obstetrician. The adhesion to adequate PA and NS levels was associated to a lower occurrence of problems during pregnancy (OR: 0.023; 95% CI: 0.005-0.855). On the other hand, a higher occurrence was observed due to the increase of the BMI before the term of pregnancy (OR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.088-1.837). Likewise, the attendance to check-ups with other professionals - including the nutritionist - was significantly associated to the presence of complications (OR: 3.85; 95% CI 1.001-33.065). The importance of PA and an adequate NS to prevent problems in pregnancy is highlighted. The results also show that women attended - or were referred - to consultations with other professionals from the medical team once the complication was diagnosed. It is essential to promote interdisciplinary work among medical teams to contribute to the prevention of pathologies and to the promotion of maternal and child’s health.

Resumen:  Promover estilos de vida saludable en etapas tempranas de la vida, como realizar actividad física (AF), mantener un estado nutricional (EN) adecuado, y realizar los controles periódicos de salud, pueden brindar numerosos beneficios para la salud materno-infantil.  El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar el tipo de AF, la asistencia a los servicios de salud, el EN y su relación con la ocurrencia de complicaciones en el embarazo en mujeres gestantes que asisten a Maternidades Públicas y Privadas de la Ciudad de Córdoba, durante el periodo 2020-2021. Se realizó un estudio observacional, correlacional, de corte transversal en una muestra (no probabilística, por conveniencia) de 83 mujeres que cursaban la segunda mitad del embarazo y eran atendidas en instituciones de salud públicas y privadas de la ciudad de Córdoba. Se utilizó un cuestionario autoadministrado semi-estructurado que indagó sobre realización de AF y medidas antropométricas (peso y talla) pregestacional y durante la gestación; asistencia a controles prenatales y variables sociodemográficas. Se ajustaron modelos de regresión logística para valorar la asociación entre ocurrencia de complicaciones patológicas en el embarazo y la realización de AF pregestacional, el EN (índice de masa corporal -IMC-) y la asistencia a controles con otros profesionales distintos del obstetra, ajustando por la edad de la mujer.   La adhesión a niveles de AF y EN adecuados se asoció a una menor ocurrencia de complicaciones en la gestación (OR: 0,023 IC95%:0,005-0,855). En cambio, se observó una mayor ocurrencia de estas complicaciones ante el incremento del IMC pregestacional (OR: 1,41 IC95%:1,088-1,837). Asimismo, la asistencia a controles con otros profesionales, entre ellos el/la nutricionista, se asoció significativamente a la presencia de complicaciones (OR: 3,85 IC95% 1,001-33,065). Se destaca la importancia de la AF y de un EN adecuado para la prevención de complicaciones en el embarazo. Los resultados evidencian además que las mujeres asistieron (o fueron derivadas) a consultas con otros profesionales del equipo de salud una vez instalada la complicación. Resulta fundamental promover el trabajo interdisciplinario en los equipos de salud a fines de contribuir a la prevención de patologías y la promoción de la salud materno-infantil. .
