Proportion of folic acid, zinc and copper in blood serum of pregnant women with urogenital mycoplasma infection

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 90 studies of pregnant women in developed countries (n = 126,242) revealed significant faults in the dietary status and reduced consumption of basic essential nutrients and micronutrients. It was found that excessive intake of fat and carbohydrates instead of adequate nutrition according to country-specific standards is associated with complicated pregnancy, low birth weight followed by impaired physical and mental development of children, increased risk of diabetes and high blood pressure in adulthood [1 2].
