Prevalence Of Anemia

INTRODUCTION: In South Asian Region, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women has been estimated to be 75% which is highest in the world. Hence, this study was drafted to evaluate the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in western part of NepalMATERIALS AND METHODS: It was a hospital based cross-sectional study. A total of 200 pregnant ladies aged 15-45 years giving consent for the study were included and their detailed medical history, clinical examination and lab investigations focusing on hematological parameters were documented. Data were entered in excel sheet and analysed by SPSS (17.0).RESULTS: The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 48% with increased prevalence as the pregnancy proceeds and reaching its highest during third trimester of pregnancy. Young adults with age ranging from 15-30 years had highest prevalence of anemia. Mild anemia (Hb: 9-10.9 g/dl) was the commonest entity.CONCLUSION: With this high prevalence, screening for anemia during pregnancy should be done. Moreover, exogenous supplementation of iron capsules or diet rich in iron can be advised to those anaemic pregnant women.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2016)Vol.04 No.02 Issue 14, page: 17-19

The Relationship

The nutritional status and health of the mother during pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and during breastfeeding was very critical periods for children's growth and development. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between anemia during pregnancy and the incidence of stunting. The method used in this research was observational correlational analytic, which looking for the relationship between two independent and dependent variables used a cohort-retrospective approach, with the independent variable anemia during pregnancy and the dependent variable the incidence of stunting. The research was conducted from 2 July – 29 August  2020 in Gayam  Village, Kediri Distric used MCH book instrument. Total population was 512 toddlers with judgement sampling technique as many as 88 toddlers consisted of 38 stunting and 50 non-stunting toddlers. Analysis used the Spearman Rho with the results of the Spearman value showed that total of 66 toddlers, 4 (6.1%) of stunting toddlers were found with no history of anemia, 13 (19.7%) of stunting toddlers with a history of mild anemia and 5 (7.6%) of stunting toddlers with a history of moderate anemia. Spearman rho test results p value = 0.000. This mean that the p value <α = 0.05, because the p-value <α, H1 accepted, that there was a relationship between a history of anemia during pregnancy and the incidence of stunting on toddlers. Anemia during pregnancy was very risky for the development of fetus and the development of baby that will beb born can caused stunting.

Abstract Objectives Concerns relative to excessive iron intake are raised when high iron status exposure has been linked in observational studies to a greater risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We aimed to examine the association between iron intake during pregnancy and GDM risk in Chinese women. Methods The study included 2174 pregnant women from the Tongji Maternal and Child Health Cohort (TMCHC), a prospective cohort in Wuhan, China. Iron intakes from food and supplementation prior to GDM diagnosis were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a detailed supplement questionnaire collected at 13–28 weeks of gestation. GDM was ascertained by an oral glucose tolerance test at 24–28 weeks of gestation. Odd ratios (ORs) of GDM in relation to categories of iron intake (i.e., quartiles of total and food iron intake, categories of supplemental iron intake [0, 0–30, &gt;30 mg/day]) were estimated using logistic regression models, with adjustment for demographic, dietary and lifestyle factors. Results A total of 242 (11.1%) women were diagnosed with GDM. The adjusted ORs (95% CIs) for the risk of GDM associated with the higher quartiles compared with the lowest quartile of total iron intake were 1.44 (0.89, 2.33), 2.03 (1.27, 3.25), and 2.86 (1.84, 4.43), respectively (P for trend &lt; 0.001). This association was entirely driven by supplemental iron intake. Women with supplemental iron intake &gt; 30 mg/day during pregnancy had an OR for GDM of 2.32 (95% CI: 1.60, 3.36). Moreover, the significant positive effect of supplemental iron was mainly attributed to iron supplementation during mid-pregnancy (≥60 vs. 0 mg/day, OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.00, 2.13), while no effect of iron supplementation during early pregnancy was observed. No significant association was found between food iron intake and GDM. Conclusions Higher supplemental iron intake during pregnancy was significantly associated with elevated GDM risk. Adverse effect of indiscriminate iron supplementation, especially inappropriate supplementation during mid-pregnancy, would likely outweigh benefits for maternal health.

Maternal iron status is thought to be related to postpartum depressive symptoms. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between pre- and postnatal maternal iron status and depressive symptoms in pilot (n=137) and confirmatory (n=567) samples of Chinese women. Iron status was evaluated at mid- and late pregnancy and 3 days postpartum. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to assess maternal postpartum depression 24–48 hours after delivery and 6 weeks later. In the pilot sample, correlations between early- and late-pregnancy maternal Hb and EPDS scores at 6 weeks werer=0.07and −0.01, respectively (nonsignificant). In the confirmatory sample, the correlations between maternal iron measures (Hb, MCV, ZPP, ferritin, sTfR, and sTfR Index) in mid- or late pregnancy or 3 days postpartum and EPDS scores shortly after delivery or at 6 weeks were also low (rvalues < 0.10). EPDS scores in anemic and nonanemic mothers did not differ, regardless of sample or timing of maternal iron status assessment. In addition, women with or without possible PPD were similar in iron status in both samples. Thus, there was no relationship between maternal iron status and postpartum depression in these samples.

Prevalence Of Anemia

Background: One of the most common disorders associated with nutritional deficiencies is anaemia. The etiology of anemia during pregnancy among women in developing countries is multifactorial and varies by geographic region. Hence this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of anemia among the pregnant women in our geographical area along with the outcome.Methods: The patients age, weight, BMI, parity, etc were noted and blood was collected for blood investigations which included random sugar levels, complete blood picture apart feom haemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin was calculated by Sahli’s method and classified according to the WHO classification for pregnant women.Results: The predominant age group of the 486 patients was 20-24 years, followed by 25-29 years. 291 out of the 486 patients (59.9%) were anemic and 40.1% of the patients were non anemic. 19.8% of the patients had mild anemia, 33.3% of the patients had moderate anemia, and 6.8% of the patients had severe anemia.Conclusions: Information and interaction, and good nutritional diet and medication is important to reduce the incidences of anemia and thereby the morbidity and mortality associated with it.
