['To examine the direct relationship between nutrient intake and cervical remodeling.', 'Longitudinal descriptive design.', 'Maternal-fetal medicine clinic in a Midwestern urban city.', 'Forty-seven pregnant African American women.', 'Participants completed the Block brief food frequency questionnaire at 19 to 24\xa0weeks and 27 to 29\xa0weeks gestation and had quantitative ultrasonic attenuation estimates at 19 to 21\xa0weeks, 23 to 25\xa0weeks, 27 to 29\xa0weeks, 31\xa0to 33\xa0weeks, and 35 to 37\xa0weeks gestation.', 'Trajectory mixture models identified two subpopulations within our sample: those at risk (n\xa0= 36) and at less risk (n\xa0= 11) for premature cervical remodeling. More participants in the less-risk group consumed the dietary reference intake for calcium, vitamin A, folate, vitamin E, zinc, and vitamin D than in the at-risk group. The percentage of participants in the less-risk group who consumed the recommended dietary reference intake for vitamin E was twice\xa0the percentage of women in the at-risk group (82%\xa0and 44%, respectively; p\xa0= .004). Mean intake of calcium was\xa0almost 1.3 times more (p\xa0= .05) and for zinc was 1.5 times more (p\xa0= .04) in the less-risk group than in the at-risk\xa0group.'] Does decreased Nutrient Intake be Associated With Premature Cervical Remodeling?
