Abstract:

The eating habits of pregnant women are influenced by several factors, and it is essential to know them for the definition of nutritional interventions in prenatal care. The objective of this integrative review was to analyze the bibliographic production on the eating habits of Brazilian pregnant women. Articles were searched in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Scientific Eletronic Library Online databases (SciELO) using the following descriptors: “Gestantes” OR “Grávidas” AND “Hábitos Alimentares” and the terms \"Pregnant women\" AND \"Food habits\" AND \"Brazil\" to search in English. After the adoption of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 studies were analyzed. Some studies have targeted specific populations such as adolescents or non-obese pregnant women. The Food Frequency Questionnaire was the most used instrument to investigate the food consumption of pregnant women. The most studies showed that the diet of pregnant women needs improvement, especially due to the low consumption of fruits, vegetables and vegetables, high consumption of sugars, sweets and fats. Most of the studies concluded and reinforced the importance and necessity of nutritional education by prenatal professionals. More studies are needed to better understand these food habits.
