Food insecurity may affect women’s health; however, pertinent research is scant among pregnant women. This study investigated the association of household food insecurity (HFI) with the nutritional status and mental health of 672 early-gestation (5–16 weeks) pregnant women with a singleton fetus, who participated in the screening activity of a community-based trial (NCT04868669) in Matlab, Bangladesh. Height (cm), weight (kg), body mass index (kg/m2), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) (cm), depression, anxiety, and stress were the outcomes studied. HFI was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Women’s depression, anxiety, and stress were assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales-21. Propensity score matching based weighted multivariable linear and logistic regression were used to evaluate the independent association of HFI with the outcomes. In adjusted models, pregnant women from food-insecure households in rural Matlab were on average 2.0 cm shorter (β = −2.0, 95% CI: −3.3, −0.7), 2.0 kg lighter (β = −2.0, 95% CI: −3.4, −0.7), and had 0.6 cm lower MUAC (β = −0.6, 95% CI: −1.1, −0.1) than their food-secure counterparts. HFI was associated with higher odds of depression (OR = 3.3, 95% CI: 1.8, 5.9), anxiety (OR = 6.1, 95% CI: 3.7, 10.0), and stress (OR = 4.8, 95% CI: 1.6, 14.2) among the women. Public health measures should focus on ensuring proper nutrition during the critical growth periods of life, pregnancy, and external environmental shocks, to mitigate the adverse effects of HFI on women’s health.

Health Objective

Introdução: A literatura ainda não é ampla sobre os benefícios trazidos pela lactação quando se destaca a saúde da puérpera e só recentemente começaram a aparecer evidências científicas que destacam que a mulher, mãe que amamenta, também é beneficiada em sua saúde física, psicológica e emocional. Objetivo: Avaliar um dos benefícios proporcionado pelo aleitamento materno exclusivo e sob livre demanda, que é a maior redução de peso da mãe após a gestação. Metodologia: A pesquisa foi realizada em uma Faculdade de Enfermagem de um município do sul de Minas Gerais, com um grupo de 16 lactantes. As mães foram divididas em 2 grupos (amamentação exclusiva e não exclusiva) e foram acompanhadas durante 6 meses, com aferição de altura e peso. Foi utilizado o teste t de Student para comparação entre os dois grupos. Resultados: Entre as mães que amamentaram exclusivamente seus filhos por seis meses, a média de perda de peso após esse período foi de 2,5kg e entre aquelas que forneceram aleitamento artificial, foi de 3,7Kg. No entanto, não foi identificada diferença significativa entre os grupos, com p > 0,1. Conclusão: No presente estudo, o aleitamento materno exclusivo não contribuiu para redução de peso das mães. No entanto, o número reduzido de mães estudadas pode ter influenciado na comparação entre os dois grupos.Evaluation of Modification of Postpartum Women Weight in Relation to the Type of Breastfeeding: a Study of CasesIntroduction: The literature is not yet wide enough on the benefits brought by lactation when we consider the health of postpartum women and only recently the scientific evidence started to appear, which highlights that the woman, nursing mother, is also benefited in their physical, psychological and emotional health. Objective: To evaluate one of the benefits provided by exclusive and on demand breastfeeding, which is the greatest reduction in mother's weight after pregnancy. Methodology: The survey was conducted in a College of Nursing of a city in southern Minas Gerais, with a group of 16 infants. The mothers were divided into 2 groups (non-exclusive and exclusive breastfeeding) and were followed for a6 month period, with measurement of height and weight. We used the Student t test for comparison between the two groups. Results: Among mothers who breastfed their children exclusively for six months, the average weight loss after this period was 2,5 kg and those that provide artificial feeding, was 3,7 kg However, no significant difference was found between groups, p> 0.1. Conclusion: In this study, exclusive breastfeeding did not contribute to the weight loss of the mothers. However, the small number of women who were studied may have influenced the comparison between the two groups.

Ease Of Access

In an age where health professionals lead very busy working lives, electronic information sources provide ease of access to vast amounts of health information on an unprecedented scale. Health professionals have the ability to access the information they require from a location convenient to them and can do so at any time, day or night. This convenience has resulted in an increasing reliance upon electronic sources of information amongst women’s health professionals. As technologies develop, both the importance placed on the electronic dissemination of information by women’s health professionals and the use of such resources will increase dramatically. This chapter outlines the different sources of electronic information available to women’s health professionals, the constantly evolving online accessibility issues, the importance of critical appraisal when assessing the validity of online resources, and the role of the information specialist in the health sector. As this topic is currently under-researched a number of future research directions are also proposed.
