What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The increasing prevalence of obesity during women's reproductive years highlights the need for effective strategies to improve nutritional literacy as a preventive approach to adverse postnatal outcomes. This study outlines a protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial assessing the potential of nutritional education sessions promoting the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) to improve adherence to this diet and evaluate its effects on cardiometabolic outcomes, namely on cardiac reverse remodeling, glycemic and blood pressure control, as well as on preconception weight recovery and changes in the fecal microbiota composition in pregnant women with obesity, hypertension, and/or diabetes.
