Taking a multivitamin around the time of conception may help women lower their risk of delivering low-birth-weight babies, a new research shows. The study, one of the first to look at multivitamin use immediately before and after conception, strengthens the notion that nutritional deficiencies may increase the risk of birth complications.
Still, the researchers cautioned that it was too soon to recommend multivitamins for women who are contemplating pregnancy or already expecting. While some studies have suggested benefits, others have found that women who eat a healthy diet have no need for multivitamins, and that vitamins may even do some harm, especially when their use is continued late into a pregnancy.
The study, published in the September issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, analyzed data on nearly 36,000 Danish women enrolled in a national birth registry. The scientists who carried out the research found that a large share of the women—about 60 percent had been taking multivitamins in the four weeks before and eight weeks after the last menstrual period. After adjusting for a number of risk factors, like smoking, weight and the age of the mother, the study found that women who took a daily multivitamin and were of normal weight had a nearly 20 percent lower chance of delivering a preterm baby, compared with those who did not take a daily multivitamin. Women who were overweight did not see the same benefit, though it was unclear why.
In 2004, a study by scientists at Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that taking daily multivitamins was a widespread practice among expectant mothers in the United States. Up to 78 percent of pregnant women reported taking multivitamins, the study found, compared with only 47 percent of women who were not pregnant.
Doctors have long encouraged pregnant women and those contemplating pregnancy to take folic acid—a B vitamin—daily to help prevent neural tube defects. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a member of the family of B vitamins that is involved with DNA synthesis and DNA methylation. Because of these crucial functions, folate plays important roles in fetal development and nerve tissue health. And since the late 1990s, the government has also required food makers to add the vitamin to many grain products, including flour and breads. The authors of the latest study suggested that there could be other nutrients in multivitamins besides folic acid that help reduce the risk of birth complications. But they also said that more, research was needed, and that they were not recommending that women trying to conceive should start a daily multivitamin regimen.
According to Paragraph 2, which one of the followings is not a reason for not recommending multivitamins to pregnant women?
选项
A、women who eat a healthy diet have no need for multivitamins
B、taking multivitamins may increase the risk of birth complications
C、vitamins may even do some harm for pregnant women
D、vitamins may especially harm pregnant women during late pregnancy
答案
B
解析
本题考查考生对第二段内容的理解。第二段承接上文,指出虽然孕期服用多种维生素可能带来好处。但是却并不推荐,接着给出了原因,即:在其他的研究中发现,保持健康饮食习惯的孕妇.并不需要补充多种维生素荆,甚至服用维生素可能造成损害,尤其是在怀孕后期继续服用维生素。分别对应A、C和D。B是错误说法,文章讨论的服用多种维生素的好处之一就是可能降低分娩综合征的风险,而不是增加。本题是选非,因此选择B。
