The objective of this study is to assessthe interrelation between such habits and their association with sociodemographic variables. Tosuch end, a cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of pregnant womenwho attended the scheduled morphology echography consultation at the 20th gestational weekin their reference public hospital in the city of Seville (Spain). Results: Younger pregnant womenand with lower educational levels are the ones that present the worst eating habits and the highestsmoking rate. Pregnant women with lower educational levels are the least active. Non-smokingpregnant women present better eating habits than those who smoke.
