Assessing Diet Quality in a Population of Low-Income Pregnant Women: A Comparison Between Native Americans and Whites

This study evaluated the diet quality of pregnant women in the North Dakota WIC Program, comparing Native Americans with whites. The differences in diet quality, while significant, were minimal. In general, their diets were not meeting recommendations. The researchers recommended interventions that targeted decreasing fat and increasing iron and folate, as well as increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables.


Dietary Composition and Weight Change Among Low-Income Preschool Children

The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between dietary composition and weight change among a sample of children enrolled in the North Dakota WIC Program. No significant relationships were found between total intake of fat, fiber, fruits, or vegetables and weight change. The results indicated less weight change associated with an increased consumption of breads and grains and more weight change with an increased consumption of fatty foods.
