Abstract:
Food quantity and quality has been studied in a group of 197 pregnant women during their last quarter of pregnancy. The results were that nourishment was both in quantity and in quality enough close to the LARN advices, with a slight reduction of calories per day (about 300) and a slight lipa excess (+5%) to the depriment of the carbohydrates. Correct was the number of meals per day (4-5) while the "mediterranean diet" has been kept by the 53% of the subjects. Fish consumption was scanty (18%) of the cases.
