About this study

Official title: Dietary Quality During Adolescence is Associated With Mother's Dietary Quality During Pregnancy: 15 Years Follow up From a Large National Birth Cohort

We will examine the association between diet quality in offspring at age 14 years and maternal diet quality during pregnancy in the Danish National Birth Cohort

Read the detailed description

Background: Dietary exposures in fetal life may have long lasting impact on the individual's susceptibility for several non-communicable diseases. Although offspring's own dietary habits become increasingly independent from parental influence other external factors are likely to exist. Further insights are needed to interpret and separate potential influence from exposures in pregnancy from later dietary habits on later disease risk.

Objectives: We will examine the association between diet quality in offspring at age 14 years and maternal diet quality during pregnancy in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC).

Design: A total of 19620 DNBC offspring-mother pairs will be matched by offspring dietary intake assessed at age ~14 years with a 150-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and dietary intake assessed with a 300-item FFQ during mid-pregnancy (1996-2003). A Healthy Eating Index (HEI) will be developed as an indicator for diet quality based on current Danish Food-Based Dietary Guidelines including 8 components; fruit and vegetables, fish, dietary fibers, red meat, saturated fatty acids, sodium, sugar-sweetened beverages, and added sugar.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Eating Behavior, run by Centre for Fetal Programming, Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diet quality (time frame: Reported intake during one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03239028, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2017.
