Resumo

The aim was to investigate factors potentially associated with minor psychiatric disorders, in- cluding maternal nutritional status variables. A cohort was studied with 479 women 15-45 years of age. The reduced General Health Question- naire (GHQ – 12 items) was applied at nine months post-partum with the 312 women who had completed follow-up. Minor psychiatric dis- order was defined as a GHQ score of ≥ 4 points and was treated as the response variable. Statis- tical analysis used hierarchical multivariate lo- gistic regression models. The prevalence of mi- nor psychiatric morbidity was 54.2% (95%CI: 48.6-59.7). According to the final model, the fol- lowing variables remained statistically associat- ed with minor psychiatric morbidity: level 1: to- tal family income (1 st quartile: OR = 2.71, 95%CI: 1.42-5.19; 2 nd quartile: OR = 2.13; 95%CI: 1.13- 4.04); level 3: body fat ≥ 30% (OR = 1.66; 95%CI: 1.03-2.65). In conclusion, low income and obe- sity were the only factors potentially associated with minor psychiatric disorders, even after ad- justing for confounding variables, while there are few studies relating maternal nutritional status and minor psychiatric morbidity.
