2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans in Pregnancy: Adherence Shortfalls and Associations with Gestational Weight Gain
Adherence to the 2020‒2025 DGA and GWG guidelines was low in this rural cohort. Addressing inadequate dietary patterns and promoting balanced nutrient intake may improve pregnancy outcomes and support healthier GWG trajectories. However, because an adequate diet alone was associated with recommended GWG in only ∼19% of participants, additional strategies are likely needed to help more pregnant individuals meet GWG recommendations.
