Aggravating low intakes of micronutrients were found which were reflected in low intakes of foods other than rice. Eating customs and economy appeared to influence the women's food choice negatively in relation to recommendations while factors such as education level, family type, pregnancy number and folk dietetics did not seem to have a negative effect. The amounts of foods recommended, especially green leafy vegetables, must be shown to the women. The nutrition advice given by all levels of health providers must be the same and based on cheap, local, commonly consumed foods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1079\/phn2002367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,6]],"date-time":"2003-04-06T10:08:11Z","timestamp":1049623691000},"page":"131-137","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Food and nutrient intakes among pregnant women in rural Tamil Nadu, South India"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Lena Theilgaard","family":"Andersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shakuntala Haraksingh","family":"Thilsted","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birgitte Bruun","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suguna","family":"Rangasamy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980003000181_ref026","first-page":"279","volume-title":"Principles of Nutrition and Dietetics","author":"Swaminathan","year":"1997"},{"key":"S1368980003000181_ref001","first-page":"145","article-title":"Women and nutrition \u2013 issues in need of a global focus.
