INTRODUCTION: Nepal has one of the worst maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality due to the lack of antenatal care (ANC) practices of pregnant women.The objective of this study was to find out the ANC practices and to find out the association between sociodemographic characteristics and antenatal care visits. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The cross-sectional study was conducted from 1st March to 14th March, 2014 among the residents of Rangeli VDC of Morang District in Eastern Nepal where 300 households were taken as subjects. Simple random sampling technique was applied for data collection. Semi-structured questionnaire was used and face to face interview was conducted. Chi-square test was applied to find out the association between sociodemographic characteristics and antenatal care visits.RESULTS: Almost fifty five percent of respondents attended ANC visits.The findings revealed that about 55% received iron, calcium and folic acid tablets and almost 61% of the pregnant women took the tetanus toxoid (TT) injections among who attended ANC. Almost 54.6% of pregnant Hindu women have completed four ANC visits. Women with School Leaving Certificate (SLC) and higher education level was more likely to ANC visits (100%) than women with below SLC (73%) and no education (25%). Furthermore, education of husband shows stronger association with ANC visits (P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The problem of ANC practices is common and has become a key public health concern for all. Lack of education and poor occupation of wife and husband led some of the respondents not to attend the recommended ANC visits.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jucms.v2i3.11824 Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences Vol.2(3) 2014: 26-29

Abstract Background Obesity at the workplace has been associated with symptoms of lower self-esteem, increased individual and employer healthcare costs, increased absenteeism and presenteeism and reduced productivity. Therefore, this study was designed to study the prevalence and correlates of central obesity among formal sector employees in Dodoma City. Methods Study design was a cross-sectional survey conducted from March to June, 2019. Participants were employees from formal sector employment defined as those paid regular monthly wage and with either a secured permanent or temporary contract. Simple random sampling was used to select four out of fifteen large buildings hosting various establishments. Respondents were obtained conveniently and interviewed face to face. Central obesity was defined as a waist circumference greater than 102 cm for males and greater than 88 cm for females. Chi-square test was conducted to assess the differences among the groups. Simple and multiple logistic regression models were fitted to identify the correlates of central obesity. Results A total of 392 respondents (98% response rate) agreed and participated in the study. The overall prevalence of central obesity was found to be 41.8% (164/392). The prevalence of central obesity was significantly higher among females (67.4% p < 0.001), respondents aged ≥51 years (60%, p = < 0.001), administrators (55.1% p = < 0.05), respondents with salary of > 1,000,000 Tanzanian Shilling (TSh.) per month (54.4%, p = < 0.05), respondents who eat homemade meals at the workplace (64.2%, p = < 0.05) and respondents with hypertension (62.5%, p = < 0.05). Correlates of central obesity were found to be female sex (AOR = 9.53; 95% CI: 5.49, 16.78), increased age, eating homemade meals at the workplace (AOR = 2.32; 95% CI: 1.04, 4.19) and hypertension (AOR = 3.15; 95% CI: 1.41, 6.91). Conclusions The present study revealed high prevalence of central obesity among formal sector employees in Dodoma City. Scholars and stakeholders are urged to generate more evidences and design appropriate interventions to curb the situation.
