BackgroundMaternal depression in the pre- and postpartum period may set women on a course of chronic depressive symptoms. Little is known about predictors of persistently elevated depressive symptoms in mothers from pregnancy onwards. The aims of this study are to determine maternal depression trajectories from pregnancy to the child's fifth birthday and identify associated risk factors.MethodMothers (N = 1807) from the EDEN mother–child birth cohort study based in France (2003–2011) were followed from 24–28 weeks of pregnancy to their child's fifth birthday. Maternal depression trajectories were determined with a semi-parametric group-based modelling strategy. Sociodemographic, psychosocial and psychiatric predictors were explored for their association with trajectory class membership.ResultsFive trajectories of maternal symptoms of depression from pregnancy onwards were identified: no symptoms (60.2%); persistent intermediate-level depressive symptoms (25.2%); persistent high depressive symptoms (5.0%); high symptoms in pregnancy only (4.7%); high symptoms in the child's preschool period only (4.9%).Socio-demographic predictorsassociated with persistent depression were non-French origin;psychosocial predictorswere childhood adversities, life events during pregnancy and work overinvestment;psychiatric predictorswere previous mental health problems, psychological help, and high anxiety during pregnancy.ConclusionsPersistent depression in mothers of young children is associated to several risk factors present prior to or during pregnancy, notably anxiety. These characteristics precede depression trajectories and offer a possible entry point to enhance mother's mental health and reduce its burden on children.

Objective The objective was to determine the prevalence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia among exclusively breastfed infants from one to six months of life and to identify associated risk factors. Methods This is a cohort study of the hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels of 102 healthy full-term infants, weighing more than 2500 grams (5.5 pounds) at birth, evaluated for growth development and supported to promote exclusive breastfeeding. Hemoglobin and ferritin levels were measured in the first, fourth, and sixth months of life. The hemoglobin and ferritin levels of the mothers were also measured in the first month postpartum. Results At four months, 5.7% presented iron deficiency and 3.4% had iron deficiency anemia. At six months, the percentage of children with iron deficiency increased more than four times, reaching 26.1%, while iron deficiency anemia was present in 23.9% of the infants studied. Iron deficiency at six months of age was significantly correlated to growth velocity. Conclusion According to the results of this study, exclusive breastfeeding protects infants from iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia for the first four months of life. After this age, in accordance with the literature, the findings of this study demonstrated an increase in anemia and iron deficiency rates, adding to evidence that supports the monitoring of iron levels in exclusively breastfed children presenting higher weight gains beginning at four months of age.

Abstract Background The musculoskeletal complaints of the arm, neck and/or shoulder (CANS) affect the work-related tasks of workers who are sitting in front of the computer for an extended period of time and therefore lead to a reduction in productivity. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of CANS and associated risk factors among computer office worker. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted among 773 computer workers working in different work settings located in Faisalabad Pakistan from January to August 2019. The questionnaires adopted in this survey study were previously used and consist of 2 parts; the first section for demographic information and the second part consists of the the Masstricht Upper Extremity Questionnaire (MUEQ) that was used to determine the prevalence of CANS. Results Of the 773 participants, 327 (42%) had shoulder pain, followed by neck pain 270 (35%), and the prevalence of pain in the upper arm and lower arm was 129 (17%) and 80 (10%), respectively. Those absent due to musculoskeletal problems were only 80 (10%). Females have reported overall more complaints 65% in upper extremity during the past years than male i. e. 56%. The study showed that there was a significant relationship between pain and age (years) (P=0.024), pain and work posture (P<0.001), and pain and work setting (P=0.009). Conclusion The study concluded that CANs are prevalent in office workers, predominantly among women, and that risk factors closely related to CANS are age, work setting and sitting posture.
