Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of food processing on the diets of pregnant women in Rio de Janeiro, focusing on their consumption of ultra-processed and non-ultra-processed foods.
- Over 60% of participants consumed multiple non-ultra-processed food groups, but only 25% achieved dietary diversity, indicating nutritional inadequacy during pregnancy.
- Socio-demographic factors, such as education level and ethnicity, significantly influenced food choices, with higher education linked to better intake of meat and eggs, and white women more likely to consume packaged meals.*
