Resumo: | Obesity is an emerging major health risk for women around the world. In this regard, little attention has been given to pregnancy, a moment of risk not only for major weight gain in these women, but also for macrosomia in their offspring. The objective of this study is to evaluate weight gain during pregnancy. Data pertains to a cohort of pregnant women attending general prenatal care clinics in six state capitals in Brazil, from 1991 to 1995. We studied women aged 20 years and over with singleton pregnancies and no diagnosis of diabetes outside pregnancy, enrolled at approximately 20 - 28 weeks of gestation. According to the Institute of Medicine criteria, 38% (95%CI: 36-40%) of the women studied gained less and 29% (95%CI: 28-31%) had more than the recommended total weight gain. These proportions vary according to pre-pregnancy nutritional status. Given the increasing epidemic of obesity, the high prevalence of overweight and obesity in Brazilian women prior to pregnancy, and the lack of achievement of recommended weight gain during pregnancy, more effective means of managing weight gain during pregnancy are necessary. |

A esse respeito, pouca atenção real tem sido dada à gravidez, um momento de risco não apenas pelo elevado ganho de peso das mulheres, mas também pela macrossomia em seus recém-nascidos. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o ganho de peso durante a gravidez. Trata-se de um estudo de coorte de mulheres atendidas em serviços de pré-natal geral do Sistema Único de Saúde, em seis capitais brasileiras, entre 1991 e 1995. Participaram da pesquisa mulheres com 20 ou mais anos de idade, sem diagnóstico de diabetes fora da gravidez, com aproximadamente 21-28 semanas de gestação, sem gestações múltiplas. De acordo com o critério do Institute of Medicine, 38% (IC95%: 36-40%) das mulheres estudadas ganharam abaixo e 29% (IC95%: 28-31%) acima do ganho total recomendado. Essas proporções variam de acordo com as categorias de peso pré-gravídico. Dado o aumento na epidemia de obesidade, a alta prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade prévios à gravidez em mulheres brasileiras e a falta de controle do ganho de peso recomendado durante a gestação, pode-se ver que meios mais eficientes de conduzir o ganho de peso durante a gestação são necessários.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2001-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1573Reports in Public Health; Vol. 17 No. 6 (2001): November/DecemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 17 n. 6 (2001): Novembro/Dezembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1573/3134https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1573/3135Nucci, Luciana BertoldiDuncan, Bruce BartholowMengue, Sotero SerrateBranchtein, LeandroSchmidt, Maria InêsFleck, Eni Teresinhainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:26:30Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/1573Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:51.336401Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |
