#PINA RECORDS TRIAL TRIAL#

The recruitment of the participants will be carried out at seven health facilities over 12 months, with a sample of 300 women expected. Those enrolled in the intervention group will participate in three individualized nutritional counselling sessions based on encouraging the consumption of unprocessed and minimally processed foods and the practice of physical activities. The women will be randomly allocated into control (standard care) or intervention groups.

Adult pregnant women who are overweight and receiving prenatal care in the public health system will be included.

#PINA RECORDS TRIAL TRIAL#

This is a two-armed parallel randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at primary health units in Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil. Additionally, the effect of the intervention on pregnancy outcomes, neonatal adiposity, and the child's weight and height will be investigated. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutritional intervention based on encouraging the consumption of unprocessed and minimally processed foods and the practice of physical activities for appropriate weight gain in overweight, adult, pregnant women. Evidence from observational studies suggests that a greater intake of ultra-processed foods during pregnancy is associated with a higher chance of obesity, increased gestational weight gain, and neonatal adiposity.
