- Resumen: Background: Antenatal micronutrient supplementation has been defined as a priority for Low-and Middle-income Countries (LMICs). However, it is also relevant to assess its performance in middle-high income countries, such as Chile, particularly given the post-pandemic food insecurity context.
Aim: To assess the use (frequency and doses) of daily recommended supplementation (iron (15-30 mg), folic acid (FA) (400-800 μg/day), and vitamin (VD) (400 IU)) in a sample of Chilean pregnant women.
Methods: In 1, 507 pregnant women selected from public health care registries of the Southeast area of Santiago-Chile, we collected maternal, supplement use, sociodemographic, and nutritional information at the first (<15 weeks), second (24-28 weeks), and third trimesters (32-36 weeks) of gestation by using a researcher administer online questionnaire.},

- Resumen: "Background: Pregnancy is a critical developmental window in which optimal maternal nutrition and health are key for pregnancy and infant development. The COVID-19 pandemic is considered as a “natural experiment” in which maternal and infant nutrition and health challenges were faced especially in developing countries. Therefore, understanding the health consequences for mothers and infants living in the COVID-19 era is key to revisit public health measures focused on maternal and infant health. The current work aims to describe the design, methods, and descriptive information at recruitment and preliminary findings of the Chilean Maternal & Infant Cohort Study II (CHiMINCs-II) cohort.
Methods: The CHiMINCs-II is an ongoing cohort that is part of the Chilean Maternal and Infant Nutrition Observatory of the South-East area of Santiago, Chile. In total, 1954 pregnant women beneficiaries of the public health systems and their offspring were recruited before 15 weeks of gestation and are followed across pregnancy (<15, 26–28, and 35–37 weeks of gestation) and up to 2 years of age in their offspring. Two studies are currently nested within the CHiMINCs-II cohort: (1) Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Mothers (BRECAM) study, and (2) the CHiMINCs-COVID study. The primary objective of BRECAM study is to test the association between maternal metabolic indicators (i.e., insulin, glucose, insulin growth factor 1, and hemoglobin A1c concentrations) at early pregnancy (i.e., <15 and 26–28 weeks of gestation) and breast density 3 months after the cessation of lactation. For this purpose, we collect maternal obstetric, lifestyle, dietary intake, anthropometric, and biochemical information. The aim of the CHiMINCs-COVID study is to assess maternal dietary intake and mental health problems derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and their association with maternal and infant's health and nutrition. Thus, we collected detailed information on dietary behaviors, mental health, and COVID-related information at each trimester, along with neonatal and infant nutritional information.
Discussion: The findings of this study will provide novel and critical information to better understand maternal nutritional status, mental health, as well as infant growth and nutrition during the COVID-19 era.

-Resumen: Objective: To assess the relationship between malnutrition, socioeconomic status (SES) and ethnicity in Chilean adult population.
Design: Nationally representative survey (ENS) conducted in 2016-2017. Sociodemographic information, weight, height and hemoglobin (Hb) were measured (2003 ENS). Excess weight was defined as BMI ≥25 kg/m2. Undernutrition included underweight (BMI <18·5 kg/m2), short stature (height <1·49 m in women and <1·62 m in men) or anaemia (Hb <12 g/l). Education and household income level were used as indicators of SES; ethnicity was self-reported. We applied linear combinations of estimators to compare the prevalence of excess weight and undernutrition by SES and ethnicity.
Setting: Chile.
Participants: In total, 5082 adults ≥20 years (64 % women) and 1739 women ≥20 years for anaemia analyses.
Results: Overall, >75 % of women and men had excess weight. Low SES women either by income or education had higher excess weight ((82·0 (77·1, 86·1) v. 65·0 (54·8, 74·1)) by income; (85·3 (80·6, 89·0) v. 68·2 (61·6, 74·1) %) by education) and short stature (20-49 years; 31(17·9, 48·2) v. 5·2 (2·2,11·4) by education); obesity was also more frequent among indigenous women (20-49 years; 55·8 (44·4, 66·6) v. 37·2 (32·7, 42·0) %) than non-indigenous women. In men, excess weight did not significantly differ by SES or ethnicity, but short stature concentrated in low SES (20-49 years; 47·6 (24·6, 71·6) v. 4·5 (2·1, 9·5) by education) and indigenous men (21·5 (11·9, 5·5, 11·9) v. 8·2 (5·5, 11·9)) (P < 0·05 for all).
Conclusions: In Chile, malnutrition is disproportionately concentrated among women of low SES and indigenous origin; these inequalities should be considered when implementing prevention policies.},
