Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To assess nutritional status and describe actual dietary intake of pre-ec- lampsia patients at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2021. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study on 100 pre-eclamptic patients was conducted.
The patient's weight and height were measured. Blood biochemical indicators were tested, and dietary intake was investigated by the 24-hour recall method. Results: 47% of the women gained the recommended weight; 40% of patients were anemic. Most of the study subjects did not meet the recommended requirements for energy-generating nutrients, and vitamins as well as some minerals. More specifically, 72% of patients did not meet the recommended energy needs. The percentage of patients whose diets did not meet the RDA on vitamin E, vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin K, calcium, iron, and Ca/P ratio accounted for 82%, 77%, 67%, 65%, 55%, 35%, 62%, respectively. Conclusions: More than half of patients (53%) with pre-eclampsia did not gain the recommended weight. The actual diets of patients with pre-eclampsia mostly did not meet the recommended requirements for energy and nutrients.
