Knowledge about the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease is independently associated with variation in diet quality during pregnancy.

摘要: Environmental factors affecting development through embryogenesis, pregnancy, and infancy impact health all subsequent stages of life. Known as the Developmental Origins Health Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis, this concept is widely accepted among social scientists. However, it unclear whether DOHaD-based ideas are reaching general public and/or influencing behaviour. This study thus investigated under what circumstances pregnant people in Canada familiar with DOHaD, if DOHaD familiarity relates to eating Survey responses from Hamilton, Canada, were used assess respondents' knowledge (hereafter, DOHaDKNOWLEDGE ) compared their more pregnancy recommendations (Pregnancy GuidelineKNOWLEDGE ). The survey also characterized diet quality sociodemographic profiles. We fit two multiple, linear, mixed regression models data, one score dependent variable other dependent. In both models, clustered by neighbourhoods. Complete, internally consistent available for 330 study-eligible respondents. Relative Pregnancy , respondents had lower, scores. Additionally, higher was associated socio-economic position, older age, lower parity, independent . Diet during positively adjusting factors. A subset relatively high position DOHaD. Greater better quality, hinting that translating may motivate improved nutrition later-life developing babies.
