The present study, explore the factors associated with anaemia among antenatal mothers at selected hospitals , Ernakulam was undertaken during 2020 in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Ph. D under Himalayan university. Objective: to explore the factors associated with anemia among antenatal mothers and associate the explorative factors with demographic variables. Design: non experimental descriptive research design .Setting: medical Centre. Sample: 64 antenatal mothers with anemia. Sampling technique: Probability cluster sample. Conceptual Frame Work: Pender’s health promotion model (1996). Outcome Measures: Explorative factors of anemia among antenatal mothers. Results: 80 percentages of antenatal mothers belong to medical Centre were having anemia. 48(75 percent) of antenatal mothers were having mild anemia and 16(25 percent) were having moderate anemia. Most of the antenatal mothers with anemia were having poor obstetrical factors related to anemia. Majority of the antenatal mothers were having poor nutrition. Most of the antenatal mothers were not practicing good hygiene and cooking practice. Finding of the study revealed that antenatal mothers have average knowledge related to anemia. There is an association between knowledge with the monthly income of the family, number of children and parity, obstetrical factors with age and monthly income of family, illness factors with age, education, monthly income of family, number of children, parity and food habits, nutritional factors with education and number of children. Conclusion: The result of the study support that there is a positive association between explorative factors of anemia with demographic characteristics. It says the need of mass health teaching to antenatal mothers regarding iron deficiency anemia. Health education was given to antenatal mothers regarding anemia using flash cards.

Objective: To see frequency of anemia and its related risk factors in pregnant women in an under developed area of Southern Punjab. Study design: Descriptive study. Setting: Ante natal outpatient clinic Tehsil Headquarter Hospital Kabirwala (Khanewal). Duration of the study: October2006 to March 2007. Sampling technique: Non-probability purposive. Methodology: Two hundred and fifty pregnant ladies attending ante natal outpatient clinic at Tehsil Headquarter Hospital Kabirwala (Khanewal) irrespective of reproductive age, socio economic, educational and residential status were included in this study. After taking consent a pre-designed proforma was filled in. Hemoglobin level was checked. Subjects were categorized according to the hemoglobin levels into mild (10.0-10.9 g /dl), moderate (8.0-9.9 g/dl) and severe (< 8.0 g/dl) anemia. Results: Two hundred and fifty pregnant women were studied. Mean age of the pregnant women was 28.28 ± 5.20 years. Out of these 250 pregnant women, 138 (55.2%) were anemic and out of these 83 (60.14 %) were moderately anemic while 55 (39.86 %) had mild anemia and none of these had sever anemia. Among participating pregnant women, 28 (11.2 %) were in 1st trimester, 85 (34 %) in 2nd trimester and 137 (54.8%) were in the 3rd trimester. Anemia was observed in 10 (35.71 %) women in first trimester, 35 (41.18%) in 2nd trimester and 93 (67.88 %) in 3rd trimester. One hundred and thirty two women were from rural background, out of these, 83 (62.88%) were anemic. Seventy were uneducated and out of these, 58 (82.88%) were anemic while 180 women were educated and of these 81 (45 %) were anemic. Ninety five (38 %) were having poor dietary habits and out of these, 78 (82.10 %) were anemic. One hundred eight pregnant ladies were not taking any iron supplement, out these 83 (76.85 %) were anemic while 142 (56.8 %) pregnant ladies were taking iron supplements, out of these 55 (38.73 %) were anemic. Twenty one pregnant women were with gravida more than 6 and out of these 19 (90.47 %) were anemic, of these 11 (57.89 %) had moderate anemia while 8 (42.10 %) were mildly anemic. Conclusions: The results of present study showed high frequency of anemia in the targeted population. Anemia was related with poor dietary habits especially poor iron intake. Anemia was more related with multi gravidity.

Aim. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between iron deficiency anemia and small for gestational age (SGA) in early third trimester pregnancies. Methods. A total of 4800 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed retrospectively. We included pregnant women who had iron deficiency anemia between 26+0 and 30+0 weeks of gestation and delivered singletons between 37+0 and 41+6 weeks of gestation. Patients were divided into four groups according to anemia level: (1) hemoglobin (Hb) < 7 mg/dl (n = 80), (2) Hb 7–9.9 mg/dl (n = 320), (3) Hb 10–10.9 mg/dl (n = 1300), and (4) Hb > 11 mg/dl (n = 3100, control group). The primary outcome of this study was the presence of SGA. Results. The demographic and obstetric characteristics were similar among all the groups. Maternal age, BMI <30 kg/m2, nulliparity rates, and previous cesarean delivery rates were similar among groups. Ethnicity was significantly different in the severe and moderate anemia groups (<0.001). Mean fetal weight was 2900 ± 80 g in the severe anemia group, 3050 ± 100 g in the moderate anemia group, 3350 ± 310 g in the mild anemia group, and 3400 ± 310 g in the control group. Fetal weight was significantly lower in the severe and moderate anemia groups compared to the mild anemia and control groups (<0.001). The SGA rate was 18.7% in the severe anemia group, 12.1% in the moderate anemia group, 5.3% in the mild anemia group, and 4.9% in the control group. SGA was significantly higher in the severe and moderate anemia groups compared to the mild anemia and control groups (<0.001). Conclusion. The results of this study indicated that early third trimester severe and moderate iron deficiency anemia was associated with SGA. Iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women may lead to low birth weight.

Introduction: One of the adverse outcomes of pregnancy is spontaneous abortion (SA), which poses a significant obstacle for maternal health promotion. The present study is aimed to examine the factors associated with SA among reproductive aged women. Method: A hospital-based case- control study was conducted at tertiary hospital Lalitpur, Nepal. The consecutive sampling technique was used to select the cases (84) and purposive sampling technique was used for controls (168) in a 1:2 ratio. Ethical approval was obtained. Data were collected through face to face interviews using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics analysis (Chi-square and Fisher exact test) were used for analyzing the data. P-value was set at 0.05. Results: We found that the type of family, preconceptionally intake of folic acid and antenatal checkup were significantly associated with spontaneous abortion. Similarly, monthly income was inversely associated with the SA (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the findings of our study it can be concluded that socio-demographic variables (staying in the joint or nuclear family, intake of folic acid, monthly income and antenatal checkup) and reproductive history also play significant role for spontaneous abortion. Key words: Factors associated; reproductive aged women; spontaneous abortion.

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.

INTRODUCTION Iron deficiency is the world most prevalent nutritional disorder which is associated with impaired neurocognitive function in infants. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in Portuguese infants remains unknown. The last study was performed by one of us (HA) in 1994 in a sample of 188 infants revealing a prevalence of IDA of 19%. The main objective of this study is to determine the current prevalence of IDA in a sample of infants nine months of age in Braga, Portugal. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study on a random sample of infants born from September 2016 to February 2017 at Braga Hospital. They were evaluated for anthropometry, socio-economic factors, feeding regime and a blood sample was taken for blood cell counts, serum ferritin and C reactive protein. RESULTS Forty-two infants were included. The prevalence of IDA was 7.1%.  Nine infants were anemic (21%); moderate anemia was observed in 2/9 of infants and mild anemia in 7/9 infants. Of the 3 infants with IDA, 2 had been exclusively breastfed until 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Compared to a study from 1994, there may have been a reduction in the prevalence of IDA in this area in Portugal.

Aim: To study the frequency of anemia in diabetes of an adult population. Methodology: This cross-sectional observational study included 277 adult patients, above the age of 18 years, who were diagnosed as having diabetes by clinical and laboratory basis and were considerably controlled on their prescribed management. The study was conducted in Creek General Hospital Karachi from October to December 2020 by random based sampling technique. After a written consent answers were noted according to the questionnaire and the relevant data was tabulated and analyzed. Patients with complications or with other chronic illness, except hypertension, were excluded. The data was evaluated for the frequency of anemia in diabetics, categorizing the severity of anemia into mild, moderate, and severe. Universal variables like gender and age were assessed. Results: Among the 277 patients in the study, there were 121(43.7%) males and 156 (56.3%) females. There were 17 (6%) in the young age group, 162 (58.5%) in the middle age group and 98 (35.4%) elders. The mean hemoglobin was 11.1 gm/dl. Out of 277 there were 222 (80%) who fell in the category of anemia. There were 90 out of 121 (74%) males who were anemic and 132 out of 156 (84%) females who were anemic. The most frequent category of anemia was moderate anemia (48%) followed by mild category (46%). Mild anemia was more frequent in males while moderate anemia was more prevalent in females. Anemia was higher in percentage in the younger group (88%). Mild to moderate anemia was more prevalent than severe in all age groups. 81% of hypertensive, diabetic patients was anemic. 78% smokers had anemia. There was visible increase in frequency of anemia as the duration of diabetes increased. Conclusion: Anemia is highly prevalent in diabetics.

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in post-cesarean section patients. The objective of this study was to determine the preoperative factors associated with the surgical site infection in patients undergoing cesarean emergency section in the Goyeneche Hospital of Arequipa.METHODS: We conducted a cases-control study on women who presented with surgical site infection after cesarean section in a hospital in Arequipa, Peru. We evaluated associated factors to surgical site infection after cesarean section (sociodemographics and clinical variables). For the inferential analysis, we estimated logistic regression using odds ratio.RESULTS: Out of a total of 4346 cesarean sections, only 2.4% developed surgical site infection. The associated factors to surgicalsite infection were mild anemia (OR: 2.80), moderate anemia (OR:2.71), number of vaginal examinations higher than five (OR:2.71) and onset of labor (OR: 1.95).CONCLUSION: Patients with risk factors such as anemia, onset of labor and five or more vaginal examinations should be evaluated after surgery to prevent surgical site infection.

Background: Facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) is a stable facial structure, and several studies investigated the predictive effects of fWHR on individual traits and behaviors. There is a dearth of data regarding the relationship between fWHR and success in business in terms of income level. The aim of this study was to correlate fWHR with monthly income of traders at kantin kwari market of Kano State. Materials and method: The participants were selected using simple random sampling technique with their consent and their Bio-data (age, sex, marital status, educational achievement, assets and other properties) and monthly income status were enquired for and recorded appropriately. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20. A Pearson’s correlation was carried out on the entire study population as well as based on the number of children, and number of wives. Results: A significant inverse association between fWHR and income level among participants with ≤ 2 children was obtained (r= -0.29, P= 0.035). Conclusion: the number of children a participant has, is a moderator for the relationship between fWHR and monthly income and higher value for fWHR predicted lower monthly income.
