Protein, @entity535 , and caloric intakes of selected pregnant XXXX .

@entity6064 of pregnancy is characterized by a combination of at least two of the following clinical symptoms: @entity101 , @entity4 , and @entity644 . In three successive trials over three consecutive years, the dietary intakes of a selected number of young pregnant @entity1 attending a Maternal and @entity1 Care Clinic at Tuskegee Institute were evaluated for protein, @entity1522 , and total calories. @entity1 with @entity6064 were identified, and @entity1 without @entity6064 served as controls. The toxemic group generally consumed more protein than the controls, but values were statistically significant only in the first trial. However, all essential @entity1522 were consumed in significantly greater amounts by the toxemic group. Protein and essential @entity1522 were consumed in adequate amounts (at least two-thirds of the RDA) by both groups but in amounts smaller than the national average. Non-essential @entity1522 were also consumed in adequate amounts, with the toxemic group consuming larger quantities than the controls. Caloric intakes were adequate for young pregnant @entity1 . The relationships of @entity15157 and of @entity6064 to protein and @entity535 intake were similar and were opposite to the relationship of @entity417 to protein and @entity535 intake. Meats and grains contributed the greatest quantity of protein and @entity1522 to the diet in all groups. Data seem to imply that any relationship of protein and @entity1522 with @entity6064 of pregnancy is a complex one involving several possibly interrelated nutritional parameters.
