Effect of the nutritional intervention on the consumption of total sugars and energy. Linear regression models.

MODEL 1 p-Value MODEL 2 p-Value MODEL 3 p-Value
Total sugars consumption post intervention, g/day −13.22 (−23.85, −2.57) 0.015 −15.44 (−25.04, −5.84) 0.002 −15.23 (−25.01, −5.46) 0.002
Total kilocalorie consumption post intervention, kcal/day −71 (−197, 54) 0.265 127 (−239, −14) 0.028 −125 (−239, −10) 0.032
Total percentage of energy consumption derived from sugars, % −2 (−3, −1) 0.001 −2 (−3, −1) 0.001 −2 (−3, −1) 0.002

Reference group is the control group. Figures represent β coefficients of the regression models and 95% confidence intervals. MODEL 1: Sugars/kilocalories/% calories from sugars at 35–37 weeks of pregnancy = β0 + β1 (dietary counseling). MODEL 2: Sugars/kilocalories/% calories from sugars at 35–37 weeks of pregnancy = β0 + β1 (dietary counseling) + β2 (sugars/kilocalories/% calories at < 15 weeks of pregnancy). MODEL 3: Sugars/kilocalories/% calories from sugars at 35–37 weeks of pregnancy = β0 + β1 (dietary counseling) + β2 (sugars/kilocalories/% calories at < 15 weeks of pregnancy) + β3 (marital state) + β4 (persons in home) + β5 (age) + β6 (level of studies) + β7 (monthly income) + β8 (relation to head of household) + β9 (activity) + β10 (depression) + β11 (nutritional status) + β12 (gestational weight gain) + β13 (season) + β14 (health center).
