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.
