Abstract
En 中文
The aim is to examine the relationship between factors thought to potentially influence weight gain; such as sustainable nutrition (SN) behaviour and plate-clearing tendency (PCT) during pregnancy and gestational weight gain (GWG). This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 340 women in the last trimester of pregnancy. Study data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire form between October and December 2024. PCT is lower among younger women; those with low income and those with insufficient GWG (P < 0·05). SN behaviours are higher in those who are older; have higher education levels; have lower income and have moderate physical activity (P < 0·05). A negative correlation was found between food preference; a component of SN behaviours; and GWG (P < 0·05). In the binary logistic regression model; higher pre-pregnancy BMI significantly increased the likelihood of excessive GWG (OR = 1·49; 95 % CI 1·332; 1·665; P < 0·001); whereas high physical activity was found to be protective against excessive GWG (OR = 0·214; 95 % CI 0·061; 0·747; P = 0·016). It was determined that pre-pregnancy BMI was higher and physical activity was lower in those with excessive GWG; in addition; food preference; one of the factors of SN behaviour; affected weight gain. Food preference can be considered as a factor that may affect GWG.
