Depression <\/strong>during pregnancy is on the rise. Recent statistics indicate about 12 percent of pregnant women will either be diagnosed with or seek medical help for depression. <\/p>\n

That’s where APRON or Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition,<\/strong> comes in. This study funded by the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medication Research<\/strong> will follow 10,000 pregnant women<\/strong> in Edmonton and Calgary, documenting the nutritional status of these women to establish what links there may be to their mental health. <\/p>\n

Dr. Catherine Field<\/strong> is a professor of nutrition at the University of Alberta and one of three principle investigators with APRON. <\/p>\n

DR. CATHERINE FIELD: There’s a growing body of literature suggesting that nutrition, even things like body weight gain during pregnancy, can influence mental health which, of course, can also influence what the mother is eating if they are suffering from some level of depression. We really don’t know that association And actually there’s no group in North America looking at mental health and nutrition.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Dr. Field’s team will also follow the babies, looking at what impact the mom’s mental health and nutrition have on the neurological development of their infants. <\/p>\n

Thanks today to the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
