Vegetalization of the Maternal Diet During Pregnancy: Association With Pregnancy Outcomes and Newborn Health.
- Conditions
- Diet During Pregnancy
- Interventions
- Other: Food Frequency QuestionnaireOther: Collection of 4 mL maternal blood
- Registration Number
- NCT06155344
- Lead Sponsor
- Nantes University Hospital
- Brief Summary
Reducing consumption of foods of animal origin in favor of more plant-based diets is a major environmental, public health and economic challenge. Data on the health effects of highly vegetalized diets are available only in adults. Few studies report the effect of the level of vegetalization of the maternal diet during pregnancy on the mother's health, and the development and health of the child. The VEGALIM project aims to describe the level of vegetalization of pregnant women's diets and the nutritional quality of their diets early in pregnancy (first trimester) and late pregnancy, and to explore the potential effects on their plasma lipid profile that may impact on their health during pregnancy and the health of the newborn.

Group Intervention Description Pregnant women included in the VEGALIM project Food Frequency Questionnaire Pregnant women consulting CEMAFOER (Center for Maternal and Fetal Pathology Screening and Risk Assessment) of Nantes University Hospital for pregnancy monitoring Pregnant women included in the VEGALIM project Collection of 4 mL maternal blood Pregnant women consulting CEMAFOER (Center for Maternal and Fetal Pathology Screening and Risk Assessment) of Nantes University Hospital for pregnancy monitoring
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Characterizing the levels of plant-based food consumption at the beginning of pregnancy (at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy) based on the completion of the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ, scale from 0 to 6 ; 0 being the worst outcome) 25 minutes
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Study changes in diet quality between the 1st and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy 6 months Study the association between diet quality in the first trimester of pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes (such as prematurity, birth weight, maternal pathologies not present at the time of inclusion (gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, etc.). 6 months Study the association between diet quality and lipid profiles of women in the 1st trimester and at childbirth. 6 months Study the association between the vegetalization of the diet and the total fatty acid status of women in the 1st trimester and at childbirth. 6 months Study the evolution of the vegetation score between the 1st and 3rd trimester of pregnancy 6 months Studying the association between vegetarian diets in the first trimester of pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes (such as prematurity, birth weight, maternal pathologies not present at the time of inclusion (gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, etc.). 6 months Study the association between the vegetalization of the diet and the lipid profile of women in the 1st trimester and at childbirth. 6 months Study the association between diet quality and total fatty acid status in women at 1st trimester and at childbirth. 6 months Identify other biological markers, such as vitamins, that may be impacted by a change in diet, and study the influence of diet quality on these potential plasma markers. 6 months
