ABSTRACT
During a study of nutrition in pregnancy, the diets of 108 Jamaican pregnant women were assessed by single 24-hour recalls. The women were 16-45 years old, of mixed parity (0-9), attended private (23 percent) and public (77 percent)antenatal clinics and differed in stage of pregnancy at interview. Mean energy intake (2110ñ739 kcal/d) was low, 83 per cent of the average Recommended Dietary Allowance for the Caribbean (CFNI 1976). Most (76 percent) women had low energy and dietary iron (75 percent) intakes. Fewer women had low riboflavin (42 percent) or protein intakes (29 percent). Maternal age, parity, obstetric performance, and unusual cravings influenced maternal nutrition to some extent. Dietary assessments overestimated the risk of maternal malnutrition. (AU)
