UNASSIGNED: The authors sought to establish whether maternal dietary @entity1042 during pregnancy was a factor in the etiology of @entity72 . A seven item questionnaire was given to @entity1 who had given birth to at least one @entity1 after 1984. The subjects were solicited from a large primary care practice and several internet sites and separated into two groups - mothers who had given birth to a @entity1 with @entity2438 and those who had not. Average weekly @entity1042 consumption was calculated based on questionnaire responses. 550 questionnaires were completed by @entity1 who gave birth to a non- @entity2438 @entity1 . On average these @entity1 consumed 66.71mg. of @entity1042 weekly. 161 questionnaires were completed by @entity1 who had given birth to an @entity2438 @entity1 . The average estimated weekly @entity1042 consumption for this group was 142.31mg. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon rank sum-test, we see a significant difference between the reported @entity1042 consumption rates of the two groups. This study suggests that @entity1 who have given birth to an @entity2438 @entity1 are likely to have had higher intake of dietary sources of @entity1042 than @entity1 who have not. Further investigation of a possible link of dietary @entity1042 to @entity2438 is clearly warranted.
