Paige D. Lactose intolerance in African-American pregnant wome [Final report]. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University , 57 pp.

Annotation: The objective of this investigation was to study lactose (milk sugar) digestion and milk tolerance and its association with dietary patterns and pregnancy outcome in pregnant black women. This study examined two broad areas of interest. The first explored lactose digestion and changes that may occur during pregnancy, and the effect of pregnancy on usual levels of milk consumption. The second area involved the association between lactose digestion status and dietary patterns and practices. Data obtained from the study permitted more appropriately targeted health care, nutrition recommendations, food supplementation, education, and counseling to high-risk women prenatally.
