Dietary intake was evaluated with a validated food frequency questionnaire at 15 days following delivery, having as time frame the second and third pregnancy trimesters. Dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis for principal components analysis. The association between socio-demographic factors and the identified dietary patterns was assessed with multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: Two dietary patterns were identified: i) healthy: fruits; green vegetables; vegetables; fish; roots, corn and potato; milk and dairy and herbal tea mate, and negatively loadings for alcohol and coffee and ii) mixed: rice; bean; flour and pasta; breads; cake and cookies; soda and juice; sugar and sweets; fatty foods; meats; chicken; and eggs. The linear regression showed that the income (β=0.0002; 95%CI: 0.0002-0.0004) and schooling (β=0.0491; 95%CI: 0.0264-0.0718) were positively associated with healthy pattern, and parity (β=-0.1044; 95%CI: -0.1665- -0.0423) and skin color (β=-0.3102; 95%CI: -0.5256- -0.0947) were negatively associated. Skin color (β=0.1647; 95%CI: 0.0378- 0.2916) and marital status (β=0.1065; 95%CI: 0.0062- 0.2067) were positively associated with mixed pattern and income (β=-0.0001; 95%CI:-0.0002- -0.0001) and schooling (β=-0.0281; 95%CI: -0.0417- -0.0146) were negatively associated.

A comprehensive clinical and psychodiagnostic examination of 114 HIVinfected patients with non-psychotic mental disorders was carried out, including a clinical diagnostic interview using an independently developed patient research map, pathological and experimental psychological methods, in particular (SCL-90-R and the Schmiszek questionnaire). The age of the examined ranged from 21 to 62 years, the average age of which was 39.77 years. Among the examined, there were 49.12 % of men and 50.88 % of women with secon dary specialized education (50 %), with physical work (67.54 %), single people (69.3 %) heterosexual orientation (89.47 %), unemployed — 24.78 %. The duration of HIV infection in them ranged from 1 month to 24 years and averaged 5.0 years. 48.25 % of patients took HAART regularly, 31.58 % took HAART irregularly, 20.18 % did not take HAART. The leading psychosocial factors in the emergence of maladaptive behavior among HIV patients were the absence of close relationships (80.39 %; p < 0.05). Highlighting the characteristics of HIV patients in the team: isolation (78.07 %), confl ict (77.19 %), selfl essness (71.05 %), selfi shness (64.04 %), vulnerability (61.4 %). Characteristic features of HIV patients: hyperimmunity, emotivism, anxiety, cyclotimism, exaltation and demonstrativeness. Among HIV-infected people with deviant behavior, indicators of anxiety and dysthymia are violated. Socio-demographic factors of maladaptive behavior among HIV-infected people are included: low level of education, the predominance of physical labor, lack of social support, a complex diagnostic and treatment route. The above factors, combined with the psychosocial characteristics of this group of patients, can aff ect the development and progression of deviant behavior, which in turn leads to a complication of the course of the disease and mental disorders. Keywords. HIV-infected, socio-demographic factors, psychosocial factors, non-psychotic mental disorders, disadaptation, deviant behavior
