Article Synopsis
- Frequent consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) during pregnancy is associated with a higher intake of added sugars, fats, and sodium, which can negatively impact maternal and child health.
- A study analyzed calorie contributions from UPFs based on pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and hemoglobin (Hb) status using dietary intake records from pregnant participants.
- Results showed that UPFs contributed around 27% of total energy intake across the second and third trimesters, with higher percentages in women with obesity and lower Hb levels.
Objective: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Vietnam has doubled from 3% to 6% over the last decades, with potential consequences for persons with diabetes and their caregivers. This study aimed to assess caregiver burdens and factors associated with caregiver burden.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019, using data from 1,241 informal caregivers (ICGs).
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an abnormal glucose metabolism diagnosed during pregnancy that can have serious adverse consequences for mother and child. GDM is an exceptional health condition, as its management serves not only as treatment but also as prevention, reducing the risk of future diabetes in mother and child.
Objectives: This qualitative study aimed to explore how pregnant women experience and respond to GDM, focusing particularly on the role of the family environment in shaping women's experiences.
Aims And Methods: In low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) consequences of gestational diabetes (GDM) is understudied. Using a prospective cohort of mothers (n = 197)and children (n = 251), from rural north-eastern Tanzania, we assessed prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence six years after a pregnancy with/without GDM.
Results: The prevalence of prediabetes (49.
