Abstract

The sample size ranged from 759 (ROLO) to 14,541 (ALSPAC). Since all studies assessed maternal diet with FFQs at times which differed between cohorts, we categorised into three periods: pre-pregnancy, early pregnancy (1st or 2nd trimester) and late pregnancy (3rd trimester). [...]Fung’s DASH index relies on quintile ranking, allowing for a wider, more-discriminating score range [38], an approach that we judged more appropriate for ALPHABET considering the diversity of cohorts, time periods, and FFQs used. Because the main purpose of a FFQ is to rank participants according to their reported intakes rather than estimation of absolute intakes (sodium in particular is not estimated well with FFQ), scoring by quintiles would be less prone to misclassification [10]. [...]the DASH score we developed within the seven cohorts of the ALPHABET consortium was composed of eight food components (seven food groups and one nutrient) (Table 3). [...]the number of available food items and frequency scale categories of some food components resulted in a lack of data variability in some of our cohorts, complicating the derivation of balanced quintiles for whole grains and low-fat dairy products.
