Background: Anaemia in pregnancy (AIP) is one of the most common preventable causes of maternal morbidity and poor prenatal outcome. World Health Organization (WHO) has accepted up to 11 gm/dl as the normal hemoglobin (Hb) level in pregnancy. In Haryana state, the prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women is 50.2% in urban areas and 58.1% in rural areas. Pregnant women are predominantly susceptible to nutritional deficiencies because of the increased metabolic demands imposed by pregnancy and its related factors. The aim and objective of the study was to determine the behavioural factors associated with anaemia among pregnant women delivering at a tertiary care hospital in Haryana.Methods: This hospital-based case control study was carried out in BPS Government Medical College for Women, Khanpur Kalan, Sonipat (Haryana). Study was conducted for one year. One hundred sixty-eight pregnant women were enrolled for study. Inclusion criteria for cases and controls was age of 18 years and above and residents of Sonepat district. Analysis was performed by using R statistical software.Results: The majority 57 (67.9%) of cases and 49 (58.3%) of controls were in age group of 18-24 years. Among different behavioral risk factors studied, not using bed nets, not wearing shoes consistently, eating pica and no use of the other drugs during pregnancy were significantly associated with anemia during pregnancy. However, on Multivariable Logistic regression analysis, the major behavioral risk factors for anemia were not using bed net during pregnancy (AOR: 1.83, 95% CI: 0.68-5.01), and not wearing shoes consistently during pregnancy (AOR: 2.77, 95% CI: 0.83-10.01). The odds of getting anaemia in pregnant mothers who reported pica during their pregnancy was AOR = 2.85 (CI: 0.90 – 10.01) than odds of mothers who did not report pica during their pregnancy.Conclusions: Consistent use of bed net, wearing shoes and not consuming pica prevent anaemia during pregnancy.

AbstractObjectives: In Japan controversy exists as to whether or not the risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD) are the same as in western countries. We conducted a case-control study on IHD to clarify the risk factors in males in an urban area of Japan using our automated multiphasic health testing and services (AMHTS) system. Method: Cases were the clients who took the health check-up between January 1987 and July 1994 and had onset of IHD after the check-up. For each case five clients were selected as controls by conditional matching. The check-up data were compared between cases and controls 11 years, 6 years and just before the onset of the heart diseases. Results: The statistically significant items were as follows: (1) Eleven years before the onset: Total cholesterol (T-Chol) for myocardial infarction (MI), and fasting blood sugar (FBS) for angina pectoris (AP). (2) Six years before the onset: T-Chol, electrocardiographic (ECG) findings and the complaint of palpitation or breathlessness for MI, and FBS and palpitation or breathlessness for AP. (3) Just before the onset: T-Chol, the complaint of chest pain, FBS, smoking index and hypertensive status for MI and palpitation or breathlessness, ECG findings, chest pain, systolic blood pressure and erythrocyte sedimentation rate at 60 minutes for AP. In conclusion, the risk factors for MI in males in an urban area of Japan are the same as in western countries. The most significant risk factor for AP in males in an urban area of Japan is fasting blood sugar.

Background: Ischemic heart disease is a multifactorial disease. Various behavioural risk factors like smoking, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and alcohol are known to be important risk factors for IHD.Methods: A case control study was conducted at Kerebilachi village, Davanagere. 40 known cases of Ischemic heart diseases and 80 controls were studied. The association of various risk factors with IHD was assessed. Data was entered in the Microsoft excel and analysed using SPSS v20.Results: Smoking, diabetes, hypertension, physical inactivity and obesity were important risk factors considered in this study. Significant association was observed with smoking (OR 6.15, CI: 2.646 -14.289.), diabetes (OR 5.28, CI: 1.80-18.54), hypertension (OR.35, CI: 0.12-1.01) and obesity (OR 0.74, CI: 1.06—8.23).Conclusions: This study reinforces the importance of risk factors which are modifiable and preventable.

Background: There are many risk factors which can influence the causation of kala azar in Bangladeshi people.Objective: The aim of the present study is to describe the living pattern and behavioral risk factors of kala-azar among a case series of Bangladeshi patients. Method: This case control study was carried out at inpatient department of Community Based Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh from July 2010 to June 2011, for a period of 1(one) year.  The study samples were clinically and parasitologically confirmed kala-azar cases. The controls were rK 39 strip test negative hospitalized cases admitted for other reason.Results: Univariate analysis showed that age, sex, marital status, average number of person living in room frequently, goat sharing in  sleeping room, number of kala-azar treatment in living family members, nearest distance of known kala-azar, were risk factors. Multivariate analysis showed that Marital status (OR=6.940, 95%CI=2.710-17.772, P=.001), Number of family member living in the room were significant risk factors (OR=1.786, 95%CI=1.097-2.907, P=0.020) for kala-azar. Conclusion: These findings have important practical implications because they suggest that these measures, along with appropriate vector control and improved treatment facilities in rural areas, may be particularly effective in reducing the incidence of kala-azar and its transmission of infection by sand fly vectors.
