Abstract：
This study assessed picky eating in pregnant women by exploring whether picky eating is associated with pregnant women\'s well-being, including life satisfaction, psychological distress, and psychosocial impairment.
Data collected were from 345 Chinese pregnant women ( M age = 29.95 years, SD = 5.58). Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to examine zero-order correlations between picky eating and well-being variables (i.e., life satisfaction, psychological distress, and psychosocial impairment). Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted to examine the unique associations of picky eating with well-being variables, adjusting for demographic and pregnancy-related characteristics and thinness-oriented disordered eating.
Picky eating was significantly and negatively correlated with life satisfaction (r = -.24, p < .001) and positively correlated with psychological distress (r = .37, p < .001) and psychosocial impairment (r = .50, p < .001). When adjusting for covariates and thinness-oriented disordered eating, picky eating was still significantly associated with lower life satisfaction, higher psychological distress, and higher psychosocial impairment.
The findings suggest that picky eating may be a significant correlate of pregnant women\'s poorer well-being. Future research with longitudinal designs is warranted to further examine the temporal associations between picky eating and pregnant women\'s well-being.
Picky eating behaviors are poorly understood in pregnant women. Our results revealed that higher picky eating behaviors were associated with lower life satisfaction and higher psychological distress and psychosocial impairment in Chinese pregnant women. Researchers and clinicians may consider picky eating in the assessment and treatment of mental health and disordered eating in pregnant women.

摘要：
目的：这项研究通过探索挑食是否与孕妇的幸福感有关来评估孕妇的挑食。包括生活满意度，心理困扰,和心理社会损害。
方法：收集的数据来自345名中国孕妇（M年龄${M}_{\\mathrm{age}}$$=29.95岁，SD=5.58)。进行了皮尔逊相关性分析，以检查挑食和幸福感变量之间的零级相关性(即，生活满意度,心理困扰,和心理社会障碍)。进行了分层多元回归，以检查挑食与幸福感变量的独特关联，调整人口统计学和怀孕相关的特征和以瘦为导向的饮食紊乱。
结果：挑食与生活满意度（r=-.24，p<.001）呈显著负相关，与心理困扰（r=.37，p<.001）和心理社会损害（r=.50，p<.001）呈正相关。当调整协变量和以瘦为导向的无序饮食时，挑食仍然与较低的生活满意度显著相关，更高的心理困扰，和更高的社会心理障碍。
结论：研究结果表明，挑食可能是孕妇幸福感较差的一个显著相关因素。有必要进行纵向设计的未来研究，以进一步研究挑食与孕妇幸福感之间的时间关联。
■对孕妇的挑食行为了解甚少。我们的结果表明，在中国孕妇中，较高的挑食行为与较低的生活满意度，较高的心理困扰和心理社会障碍有关。研究人员和临床医生可能会在评估和治疗孕妇的心理健康和饮食失调时考虑挑食。
