Asthma control in pregnancy is associated with pre-conception dietary patterns.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine pre-conception dietary patterns in pregnant asthmatic women and to identify associations between maternal diet and asthma control during pregnancy.

Design

Dietary patterns were derived using factor analysis. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to test the association between uncontrolled asthma and each dietary pattern (Z-score), with values presented as odds ratio and 95 % confidence interval.

Setting

Antenatal clinic in a tertiary hospital, Adelaide, Australia, May 2009-July 2013.

Subjects

One hundred and fifty-eight asthmatic pregnant women.
