Calcium Intake from Diet in a Population Group of Ecuatorian Pregnant Women Living 2.800 Above Sea Level
Abstract
The objective of this article is to determine dietary calcium intake values in pregnant women. For this purpose, a descriptive, observational-cross-sectional study was carried out at the Provida Basic Private Hospital in Latacunga, Ecuador. A nutritional survey, previously validated, was performed with women in the third quarter of their pregnancy, who attended prenatal checkups at the hospital consultation, between September 2017 and July 2018. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS v.23 software; descriptive statistics were applied in the age, body mass index (BMI) and gestational age variables; and the mean, minimum and maximum standard deviations, were obtained. The frequency calculation was carried out for the dietary calcium intake and its distribution according to the age groups. As seen in the result section, with the participation of 210 pregnant women, the mean age was 30.3 ± 4.8 years, the mean gestational age was 31.2 weeks, 61.4% they were multiparous. Mean calcium intake was 562.11 ± 257.52 mg/day, the contribution of calcium coming from dairy was 1.536,90 mg/day and the minimum calcium contribution coming from complementary food was 18.93 mg/day. 90.48 % had a calcium intake lower than 900 mg/day with higher percentage in ages between 26 and 35 years old; only 9.52 % had an intake higher than 900 mg/day. Based on the results, it has been concluded that the dietary intake of calcium in pregnant women is around 562.11 ± 257.52 mg/day, data that varies according to the country or region of the population studied. It can be stated that dietary calcium intake does not reach the levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for pregnant women. The population under study has access to private health services.
