Abstract Objectives In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate the depression in pregnancy and its association with fruit and vegetable consumption in 4 cities of China. Methods A total of 382 eligible participants from 4 cities were recruited. Depression was defined as a score of >9.5 based on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Data on fruit and vegetable consumption in the past month was obtained using a Semi-Food Intake Frequencies Questionnaire. Consumption of fruit and vegetable amount was transformed to tertiles (T1: lowest, T2: medium, T3: highest) respectively. Sociodemographic and health-related information was collected by a self-administrated questionnaire. The associations of fruit and vegetable consumption and depression were estimated by logistic regression models after adjusting for maternal age, education, per capita family food expenditures, gestational weeks and parity. Results The percentage of depression during pregnancy was 26.8%, of which the highest was 34.4% in the first trimester and the lowest was 21.9% in the second trimester. The percentage of depression decreased with maternal age (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.85, 0.97). According to the recommendation of Chinese Balanced Dietary Pagoda, 22.0% and 72.4% of pregnant women did not consume appropriate amount of fruit and vegetable, respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, ORs (95% CIs) for the 1st and 2nd tertile of fruit consumption compared with the 3rd tertile were: 0.88 (95% CI: 0.46, 1.70) and 0.56 (95% CI: 0.31, 1.02) respectively; ORs (95% CIs) for the 1st and 2nd tertile of vegetable consumption compared with the 3rd tertile were: 1.98 (95% CI: 1.05, 3.73) and 2.66 (95% CI: 1.36, 5.20) respectively. Conclusions The present study suggested that depression was a common mental health disorder among pregnant women and vegetable consumption inversely associated with depression during pregnancy in 4 cities of China.

Abstract Background This study examined engagement in five health behaviors among pregnant women in the USA. Methods Pregnant women who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2014 were included in this study. Five health behaviors were examined: adequate fruit and vegetable consumption, prenatal multivitamin use, physical activity, sleep and smoking. Multivariable regressions were used to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of characteristics associated with health behaviors. Results Among 248 pregnant women, only 10.2% engaged in all five health behaviors and 35.4% consumed adequate fruits and vegetables. For adequate fruit and vegetable consumption, Hispanic and women of ‘other’ race were more likely to meet the recommendation compared to non-Hispanic white (P = 0.01 and P = 0.03, respectively); high school graduates were less likely to meet the recommendation compared to those with at least some college education or more (P = 0.04). Conclusions Adequate fruit and vegetable consumption among pregnant women was poor and differed by race/ethnicity and education status. Because of the cross-sectional design, we cannot examine engagement in health behaviors continuously throughout pregnancy. Future research with longitudinal data over the course of pregnancy is needed to confirm these results.

Background: Anaemia in pregnancy, which can lead to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, is a significant global health problem. Despite Sri Lanka’s strong public health system and commitment towards prevention, maternal anaemia remains a major problem in the country. While prevention is focused on iron deficiency, detailed etiological studies on this topic are scarce. Moreover, estimates of socio demographic and economic factors associated with anaemia in pregnancy, which can provide important clues for anaemia control, are also lacking. This study aims to evaluate the hemoglobin distribution, spatial distribution, etiology and associated factors for anaemia in pregnant women in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. Methods: This is a cross sectional study of pregnant women in their first trimester registered for antenatal care from July to September 2019 in the Anuradhapura district. The minimal sample size was calculated to be 1866. Initial data collection has already been carried out in special field clinics for pregnant women between June to October 2019. An interviewer-administered questionnaire, a self-completed dietary questionnaire and an examination checklist were used for data collection. In addition, all participants underwent complete blood count testing. Further investigations are being conducted for predicting the etiology of anaemia based on a developed algorithm (such as high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC] and peripheral blood film analysis). Discussion: Being the largest study on anaemia during pregnancy in a single geographical area in Sri Lanka, this study will provide important clues about geographical clustering of anaemia cases with similar etiology, associated factors and etiologies which would help to develop interventions to improve the health of pregnant women in the area. The possibility of selection bias is a potential limitation associated with the study design.

<p><strong>Objectives:  </strong>Thyroid disorders are commonly observed in pregnancy. Thyroid hormones play an important role in embryogenesis and fetal development. The fetus is completely dependent on the mother for thyroid hormone in first trimester. About 10% of all pregnant women can be affected by thyroid disorders during pregnancy. Thyroid function abnormalities in pregnancy are a challenge for the concerned physicians.  The objective of this study was to assess the maternal thyroid function in first trimester of pregnancy.</p><p><strong>Patients and Methods: </strong>A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka over a period of one year from January 2013 to December 2013 to see the serum FT<sub>3</sub>, FT<sub>4</sub>, TSH, thyroid antibodies level and common thyroid disorders in pregnancy. A total of 138 pregnant women in their first trimester (up to 12 weeks) of pregnancy with an age range of 18-35 years were enrolled in this study. Pregnant women with known thyroid disorder and on treatment and pregnancy more than three months were excluded. Measurement of serum FT<sub>3</sub>, FT<sub>4</sub>, TSH, Anti TPO-Ab and Anti TG-Ab were done in each patient at the time of enrolment. Ultrasonography of each patient was done for confirmation of pregnancy and correlation of gestational age.</p><p><strong>Results:  </strong>Among 138 pregnant women, subclinical hypothyroidism was detected in 10 (7.2%) patients and subclinical hyperthyroidism was detected in 3 (2.2%) patients. Mean difference of the investigation findings were not statistically significant among primi and multi gravida. TPO-Ab and TG-Ab difference were statistically significant between two age groups.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Subclinical thyroid disorders are fairly high among pregnant women. Correct diagnosis in early pregnancy and prompt treatment will bring an excellent prognosis for both mother and offspring.</p><p>Bangladesh J. Nuclear Med. 19(2): 98-102, July 2016</p>
