Abstract:Objective To develop and assess methyl-donor nutritional quality index in Chinese pregnant women.Methods A total of 218 pregnant women at 24 to 30 weeks of gestation were recruited on a voluntary basis from Beijing and Shandong province of China with the help of local maternal and child health institutions. Methyl-donor nutrients assessment was oriented to build the methyl-donor nutritional quality index (MNQI) for comprehensive evaluation of methyl donor intake, including daily dietary intake of protein, folic acid, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and zinc. Maternal dietary intake was assessed using the 3-day food record, and calculated to get daily mean nutrients intakes. Fasting venous blood of each subject was collected during 24-30 weeks of gestation to measure erythrocyte folate, serum homocysteine and serum vitamin B12. The sociodemographic characteristics were investigated by a self-administered questionnaire.Results In this survey, the intake deficiency of protein, folate, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 were 26.8%, 64.1%, 50.2%, 73.7%, and 58.9%, respectively. The mean and medium of their MNQI scores were 4.89±2.18 and 5 (P25~P75:3~7). The MNQI score was positively correlated with erythrocyte folate level (P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with serum homocysteine level (P<0.05). Moreover, 38.7% of women had good methyl donor intake (MNQI≥6). The MNQI scores of women with higher per capita monthly income (≥6001 RMB/month) were significantly higher than those with 3001~6000 RMB/month (P<0.05).Conclusion In this study, we have a methyl donor nutritional quality index (MNQI) which could be used to comprehensively evaluate the quality of methyl donor diet, but its effectiveness still needs to be further verified.
