    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-09-08) Huaraca Rojas, Dora; Alfaro Fernández, Paul Rubén
    Objective: To describe and analyze scientific evidence regarding cultural factors related to the dietary habits of pregnant women. Design: The study was a qualitative narrative review. Scope of the study: An exhaustive search of scientific articles published in various virtual databases was conducted. Subjects of the study: It included 33 articles published in virtual databases such as Scielo, Lilacs, and PubMed, during the period from 2016 to 2021. Results: Twenty-eight percent of the reviewed studies employed a cross-sectional methodology. Most studies reported a population where marital status was single, educational level was secondary school, and occupation was homemaking. Beliefs and myths about dietary habits included the notion that pregnant women must eat for two, that working too much is harmful during pregnancy, and that failing to satisfy cravings causes marks on the newborn. Dietary habits among pregnant women were found to be inadequate. Conclusions: The reviewed scientific evidence demonstrates that cultural factors are related to the dietary habits of pregnant women.
