Violência entre parceiros íntimos e padrões alimentares na gestação: estudo prospectivo

Abstract

This study aimed evaluate the association of violence between intimate partners and its relation with feeding patterns during pregnancy in a cohort of pregnant women treated in a health care center in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is a cohort prospective study with 161 pregnant women (2 – 40 years old) followed within 5 – 13 (base line), 20 26 and 30-36 weeks in a health care center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Analyses of simple and multiple linear regressions were realized to test the association between violence occurrence among intimate partners and the adhesion score of each feeding patterns. The analyses were adjusted by age, income, parity, spontaneous abortion history, body mass index pre- pregnancy, and current smoking and alcohol habits. In the bruit and adjusted regressions, the expositions to global and physical VPI were associated to greater adhesion to the processed pattern. Pregnant women suffered global violence presented, on average, an increase of 0,469 (IC 95%: 0,051; 0,885) in the adhesion score from on feeding pattern processed. Those who suffered physical violence during pregnancy presented an average increase of 1,032 (IC 95%: 0,442; 1,620) in the adhesion score to the same pattern.
