Abstract

Methodology: Data associated with the dietary habits of pregnant women in Crete, were gathered by applying the process of personal interview and by using food frequency questionnaires. The current study includes food frequency questionnaires answered by 905 pregnant women. Food items included in ffq were classified in groups and subgroups taking into consideration not only the classification of New Generis but also the particularities of Cretan diet. Dietary data collected by ffq were transformed to daily intake and some statistical parameters such as mean consumption, median, standard deviation, maximum and minimum intake were calculated for each food group and food subgroup. Using an assessment scale of great acceptance, we estimated the adherence of pregnant women to Mediterranean Diet. Taking into consideration the recommended daily intake of food groups included to Earnest Program, we calculated the percentage of pregnant women that consume over or underrecommended quantities of foods. Results: Foods were classified into 12 food groups and 57 subgroups that differ a little from European food groups and subgroups. During the calculations, we created two extra food groups: after the exclusion of eggs and egg products the first food group includes dairy products, and the second food group includes the recipes. Pregnant women correspond to high intake of: fruits, mainly citrus fruits, vegetables, mainly fruiting vegetables, dairy products and red meat. We estimated a medium intake of eggs and cereals and a low intake of nuts and seeds, olives, fishes and white meat. The main source of fat and oil is olive oil in a percentage of 89%. It is found that the intake of fruits and vegetables is over the recommended limits in 2 out of 3 pregnant women, the intake of meat, poultry, fishes, nuts and pulses is over the recommended limits in a percentage 70,6% of pregnant women. One out of three pregnant women correspond to low Mediterranean diet adherence, the one half of the pregnant women have medium adherence and a percentage of 12,6% of pregnant women correspond to high adherence to Mediterranean diet. Conclusion: Dietary habits of cretan pregnant women approach to the Mediterranean Diet and the most of dietary intakes are in the recommended intake limits. There is a great necessity to develop guidelines per every stage of pregnancy.
