Abstract

Introduction: During pregnancy, the needs for nutrients tend to increase with the purpose that there is a clear contribution to metabolism of the pregnant woman maintenance and development of the fetus. It has been proven, for example, the influence of sodium and potassium in blood pressure regulation, which is extremely important during pregnancy.
Objective: To evaluate the intake of sodium and potassium micronutrients in pregnant women in the Jequitinhonha Valley (Minas Gerais, Brazil). Given the fact that this region is considered by UNESCO parameters (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) one of the poorest in Brazil, this becomes a suitable place for the study.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted on 492 pregnant women in maternity wards in 15 municipalities in the Jequitinhonha Valley, in which are held 78% of deliveries in this region. To collect data, we used a standardized questionnaire that includes a survey of food consumption, as well as a questionnaire to verify the socioeconomic status of pregnant women.
Results: It was observed that the total number of women with sodium intake below AI (adequate intake) was 35.03%, up from UL, 46.43% and potassium intake below AI occurred in 148 women (30.14%).
Conclusion: There was inadequate consumption of sodium and potassium by the pregnant women analyzed, which may reflect changes in maternal blood pressure and fetal development.
