abstract = {Pregnant women must maintain or acquire healthy habits during pregnancy to protect both
their own health and their child’s. Such habits include an adequate eating pattern along with good
adherence to the intake of certain supplements, practice of moderate physical activity and avoiding
the consumption of toxic products such as tobacco and alcohol. The objective of this study is to assess
the interrelation between such habits and their association with sociodemographic variables. To
such end, a cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of pregnant women
who attended the scheduled morphology echography consultation at the 20th gestational week
in their reference public hospital in the city of Seville (Spain). Results: Younger pregnant women
and with lower educational levels are the ones that present the worst eating habits and the highest
smoking rate. Pregnant women with lower educational levels are the least active. Non-smoking
pregnant women present better eating habits than those who smoke. Pregnant women with lower
educational levels are those who accumulate more unhealthy habits during pregnancy. This should
be taken into account when planning the health care provided to pregnant women and in public
health intersectoral policies},
