P-202: An Overview of The Influence of Trans Fats Compounds on Female Infertility, Pregnancy and Abortion

Background: Lifestyle changes over the years and expanded fast foods and a generally unhealthy diet causes damage to the reproductive potential of women, and the rise of infertility among them as well. Trans fat is one of the unhealthy diet. A small quantity of Trans fat is found naturally in foods usually in animal products but the vast majority of trans fats are artificial and come from the partially hydrogenated oil found in packaged foods. Materials and Methods: We followed a cohort study of 544 women a history of infertility 2 years as they tried to become pregnant or became pregnant. Retrospective study comparing dietary data on TFAs and total calories from Block 98 quantitative food frequency questionnaire on these women. We evaluated evidence from TFA and CHD risk controlled feeding trials evaluating risk factors and long-term observational studies evaluating clinical outcomes. A dietary score based on these factors previously related to lower ovulatory disorder infertility and other lifestyle information was prospectively related to the incidence of infertility. Results: Studies released show that foods with Trans fats increase 67 percent the risk of ovulatory infertility. Each 2 percent increase in calories from trans fat was correlated with a 73 percent increased risk of ovulatory infertility. 58 percent of babies whose mothers, dietary intake of Trans fatty acids 35/2 grams per day, especially in the second and third trimester of pregnancy were born with high birth weight and approximately 26 percent of these mothers were diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Conclusion: Trans fat consumption, may lead to birth weight. In addition Trans fats cause the negative impact on mother and fetus health. Reports on the harmful action of Trans fats on humans persuasively reveal the need to limit their intake.
