A study published in JAMA Network Open focused on nutrient intake in pregnant and non-pregnant women in the U.S. It highlighted the importance of adequate nutrients for maternal health and fetal growth, identifying deficiencies in vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium. Pregnant women had higher supplement use but still showed deficiencies in essential nutrients, affecting both maternal and fetal health. The study emphasized the need for policies and guidelines to improve nutrient intake in women of reproductive age to prevent deficiencies that can impact long-term health outcomes.
