Abstract

Background: Daily lifestyles play a pivotal role in influencing the preconception health of women in their childbearing years. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to delineate, within the Italian context, the lifestyles of young women of childbearing age, that may have repercussions on their preconception health.

Methods: From July 2020 until April 2021, an anonymous online questionnaire was administered to a sample of 340 women aged 18-25 years attending secondary grade schools and universities in Italy.

Results: Over the course of the preceding three days, 90.29% of women had meat, 45.59% had fish. 28.24%, 38.82% and 18.53% of women reported tobacco, alcohol and drugs consumption, respectively. The mean amount of folic acid taken through foods consumed was 341 µg/day. Only 53.53% of women did sports. Smokers were more frequently consuming alcohol and drugs. Women who never did sports, were more likely to use drugs.

Conclusions: Young women in our sample had suboptimal dietary habits. It is imperative to advocate for policies and interventions that endorse healthy dietary patterns and physical activity, improve knowledge and discourage young women from smoking, alcohol consumption and drug use.

育龄女青年的饮食和生活方式:意大利调查。
背景:日常生活方式对育龄妇女的孕前健康有着举足轻重的影响。这项横断面研究的目的是在意大利范围内,了解可能对育龄妇女孕前健康产生影响的年轻女性的生活方式:方法:从 2020 年 7 月至 2021 年 4 月,对 340 名年龄在 18-25 岁、在意大利中学和大学就读的女性进行了匿名在线问卷调查:在前三天中,90.29%的女性吃过肉,45.59%的女性吃过鱼。分别有 28.24%、38.82% 和 18.53% 的女性表示吸烟、酗酒和吸毒。通过食物摄入叶酸的平均量为 341 微克/天。只有 53.53%的女性从事体育运动。吸烟者更经常酗酒和吸毒。从未参加过体育运动的女性更有可能使用毒品:结论:在我们的样本中,年轻女性的饮食习惯并不理想。当务之急是倡导支持健康饮食模式和体育锻炼的政策和干预措施,提高知识水平,阻止年轻女性吸烟、酗酒和吸毒。
