Introduction: During pregnancy, there are numerous changes that permeate a woman's life. Thus, it is essential to know the habits and patterns of food consumption in order to develop strategies that clarify the care and attention in an integrative way during pregnancy. Objective: To evaluate the correlation between maternal intake of dietary iron and folate and the Dietary Quality Index Adapted for Pregnant Women (IQDAG). Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 198 pregnant women in the city of Lavras, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sociodemographic information was collected through a structured questionnaire and the obstetric and anthropometric data were obtained from the pregnant women's prenatal card. Dietary intake was estimated by reporting a usual day's diet of the women and the quality of the diet was assessed using the IQDAG. The Kruskal-Wallis statistical test was used for comparison of sociodemographic, obstetric and anthropometric characteristics, as well as for comparison of the mean values of dietary iron and folate intake in the different tercis of the IQDAG. Results: The mean age of the pregnant women was 27 ± 5.98 years. Most women had complete high school education (48.5%); family income between 1 and 2 minimum wages (49.5%); had not planned pregnancy (62.6%) and were multiparous (55.3%). The mean IQDAG score was 62.32 ± 13.97. Pregnant women with higher iron and folate intake had higher IQDAG score (better diet quality) (r = 0.31; p < 0.001; r = 0.33; p < 0.001, respectively), even without the use of supplementation. Conclusions: The IQDAG can be considered a useful tool in assessing the diet quality of pregnant women, regardless of the use of iron and folate supplements, because dietary intake of these nutrients was positively correlated with diet quality.
