Furthermore, the possible consequences of minor differences in thyroid function (without achieving poor thyroid function) in the risk of weight gain during pregnancy are questionable, too. The production of TSH is under the hypothalamus\u2013pituitary control, and food is one of the most effective environmental agents that control hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013thyroid axis activity. Regarding the few available studies, we assessed the association of minor variations of TSH concentrations and nutritional status in the first trimester of pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n This cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study was performed on 150 primiparous healthy women. Demographic and family characteristics were collected using a researcher-administered questionnaire. Nutrients intake were extracted from a 72-h recall, and physical activity scores were determined by the pregnancy physical activity scale.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) (\u03b2 =0.022,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.004) and participants' weight at 6\u201310 weeks of gestation (\u03b2 =0.006,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.024) were positively associated with TSH concentrations, while total physical activity score was negatively correlated (\u03b2 = [FIGURE DASH]0.006,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.047). We did not find any significant association between TSH values and energy-adjusted nutrients intake (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n We suggest that differences in TSH concentrations within normal range in the first trimester are correlated with gaining weight, physical activity level, and prepregnancy BMI. TSH concentration and consequently thyroid function may influence on gestational weight gain or vice versa.<\/jats:p>\n
