| Abstract (English): |
Eating behavior comprises a set of actions that lead to the consumption of certain foods and it is shaped by biological, psychological and socio-cultural aspects. In this sense, access to different nutrients at all stages of life, including prenatal, is variable and dependent on the context. Exposure to adverse environmental conditions, such as inadequate nutrient intake, can affect maternal health and prenatal growth and development. The aim of this work is to describe the eating patterns and nutritional composition of the diet of pregnant women living in Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires, Argentina. In total, 150 women who attended prenatal check-ups between July 2021 and March 2022 were interviewed and their Body Mass Index (BMI) was obtained as a measure of nutritional status. A food consumption frequency questionnaire and a 24-hour recall were carried out. Results indicated the coexistence of low weight, overweight and obesity along with a high consumption of refined cereals, sugars and proteins of animal origin and a lower consumption of dairy products, fish and nuts. The data obtained in this work contribute to the discussion about the impact of eating behavior on the nutritional status of pregnant women in vulnerable contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

El comportamiento alimentario comprende el conjunto de acciones que llevan al consumo de determinados alimentos, y está modelado por aspectos biológicos, psicológicos y socio-culturales. En ese sentido, el acceso a diferentes nutrientes en todas las etapas de la vida, incluyendo la prenatal, es variable y dependiente del contexto. La exposición a condiciones ambientales adversas, como una ingesta inadecuada de nutrientes, puede impactar en la salud materna, y en el crecimiento y desarrollo prenatal. El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir los patrones alimentarios y la composición nutricional de la dieta de mujeres gestantes residentes en Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Se entrevistaron 150 mujeres que asistieron a controles prenatales entre julio del 2021 y marzo del 2022 y se estimó el índice de masa corporal (IMC) como medida del estado nutricional. Se realizó un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos y recordatorio de 24 horas. Los resultados indicaron la coexistencia de bajo peso, sobrepeso y obesidad junto con un elevado consumo de cereales refinados, azúcares y proteínas de origen animal, y un menor consumo de lácteos, pescados y frutos secos. Los datos obtenidos en este trabajo aportan a la discusión sobre el impacto de los comportamientos alimentarios en el estado nutricional de gestantes en contextos de vulnerabilidad.
