Abstract
Several dietary
substances have been hypothesized to influence the risk of preeclampsia. Our
aim in this study was to estimate the association between dietary patterns
during pregnancy and the risk of preeclampsia in 23,423 nulliparous pregnant
women taking part in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Women
participating in MoBa answered questionnaires at gestational wk 15 (a general
health questionnaire) and 17–22 (a FFQ). The pregnancy outcomes were obtained
from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. Exploratory factor analysis was used
to assess the associations among food variables. Principal component factor
analysis identified 4 primary dietary patterns that were labeled: vegetable,
processed food, potato and fish, and cakes and sweets. Relative risks of
preeclampsia were estimated as odds ratios (OR) and confounder control was
performed with multiple logistic regression. Women with high scores on a
pattern characterized by vegetables, plant foods, and vegetable oils were at
decreased risk [relative risk (OR) for tertile 3 vs. tertile 1: 0.72; 95% CI:
0.62, 0.85]. Women with high scores on a pattern characterized by processed
meat, salty snacks, and sweet drinks were at increased risk [OR for tertile 3
vs. tertile 1: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.42]. These findings suggest that a dietary
pattern characterized by high intake of vegetables, plant foods, and vegetable
oils decreases the risk of preeclampsia, whereas a dietary pattern
characterized by high consumption of processed meat, sweet drinks, and salty
snacks increases the risk.
