The methods included both online and offline health education on prenatal nutrition, weekly weight monitoring, family back education practices, and real-time dietary guidance. The intervention was delivered to randomly assigned control and intervention group participants from gestational week 12 to week 24. The intervention group (n = 44; 100% complete data) showed significant differences (mean (SD)) compared to the control group (n = 42; 95.5% complete data) in nutrition literacy (53.39 \u00b1 6.60 vs. 43.55 \u00b1 9.58, p &lt; 0.001), restrained eating (31.61 \u00b1 7.28 vs. 28.79 \u00b1 7.96, p &lt; 0.001), Diet Quality Distance (29.11 \u00b1 8.52 vs. 40.71 \u00b1 7.39, p &lt; 0.001), and weight gain within the first 12 weeks of intervention (4.97 \u00b1 1.33 vs. 5.98 \u00b1 2.78, p = 0.029). However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of gestational diabetes (2 (4.5%) vs. 4 (9.5%), p = 0.629). Participants in the intervention group reported an overall satisfaction score of 4.70 \u00b1 0.46 for the intervention strategy. These results emphasize the positive role of comprehensive dietary intervention in promoting a healthy diet during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16020217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,10]],"date-time":"2024-01-10T05:47:21Z","timestamp":1704865641000},"page":"217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Effects of a Comprehensive Dietary Intervention Program, Promoting Nutrition Literacy, Eating Behavior, Dietary Quality, and Gestational Weight Gain in Chinese Urban Women with Normal Body Mass Index during Pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9745-0339","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qian","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ramathibodi School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, 270 Rama 6 Road, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand"},{"name":"Ph.D. Candidate in the Doctor of Philosophy Program in Nursing Science (International Program), Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Faculty of Nursing, Mahidol University, Salaya 73170, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noppawan","family":"Piaseu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ramathibodi School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, 270 Rama 6 Road, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Srisamorn","family":"Phumonsakul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ramathibodi School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, 270 Rama 6 Road, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Streerut","family":"Thadakant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ramathibodi School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, 270 Rama 6 Road, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"730","article-title":"Association between Pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index and Offspring Neuropsychological Development from 1 to 24 Months of Age: A Birth Cohort Study in China","volume":"32","author":"Cao","year":"2019","journal-title":"Biomed.
