Abstract
<b>Aim.</b> The aim of this study was to assess knowledge about nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases in pregnant women from Kraków.<br><b>Material and methods.</b> Questionnaires on the knowledge about nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases were filled in by 115 pregnant women who were admitted to Gabriel Narutowicz City Specialist<b> </b>Hospital in Kraków. Statistical analysis was carried out by means of the IBM SPSS Statistics 19. The studied population was divided according to the trimester of pregnancy.<br><b>Results.</b> Statistically significant differences were found for the answers to question whether decreasing food intake may prevent obesity. All women in the first trimester of pregnancy knew the correct answer to this question, whereas the percentages of correct answers given by the women in the second and the third trimester were 73.1% and 66.7%, respectively.<br><b>Conclusions.</b> The studied pregnant women, irrespective of the trimester of pregnancy, were characterised by a high level of knowledge about nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases. Most probably, such a high level of knowledge in this field is the result of spreading in the mass media the information about the importance of nutritional factors in diet-related diseases prevention.
