عنوان Symptoms specific to pregnancy and its relationship with nutritional status and physical activity in pregnant women referring to Tabriz Health Centers: A Cross-Sectional Study

نویسندگان Hajar Salehi

چکیده Introduction: Pregnancy symptoms are a normal consequence of the physiological changes of this period, yet they can affect a pregnant woman's quality of life (1). Diet and physical activity are two modifiable lifestyle factors whose potential role in the occurrence and severity of pregnancy symptoms has been examined in previous studies (2-4) although the evidence remains limited and at times inconsistent. This study examined the association of diet and physical activity with pregnancy symptoms among pregnant women in Tabriz. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 302 pregnant women with a gestational age of 12 weeks or more, attending health centers in Tabriz in 2022. Pregnancy symptoms were measured with the Pregnancy Symptoms Inventory (PSI) (1); dietary intake was recorded with a three-day food record, and physical activity as assessed with the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) (5). Findings: The mean pregnancy symptom score (range 0-123) was 29.3 (SD 14.5). Dietary selenium intake showed a weak, significant, inverse correlation with total symptom scores (r=-0.11, p=0.043); dietary fat intake showed a weak, significant, direct correlation (r=0.13, p=0.025). Total physical activity score and most of its subscales were not significantly correlated with total symptom scores; only the sedentary/inactive subscale showed a significant, positive correlation with psychological symptoms (r=0.17, p=0.002). Conclusion: Diet quality, particularly selenium and fat intake, is associated with the severity of pregnancy symptoms, whereas overall physical activity level shows little relation to them, except where sedentary behavior coincides with psychological symptoms.
