Maternal and Child Nutrition by Jatinder Bhatia,Zulfiqar Ahmed Bhutta,Satish C. Kalhan Pdf

How to prevent and manage low birth weight Growth and nutrition during the fetal period and the first 24 months after birth are important determinants of development in early childhood. Optimal nutrition and health care of both the mother and infant during these first 1000 days of an infant's life are closely linked to growth, learning potential and neurodevelopment, in turn affecting long-term outcomes. Children with low birth weight do not only include premature babies, but also those with intrauterine growth restrictions who consequently have a very high risk of developing metabolic syndrome in the future. Epidemiology, epigenetic programming, the correct nutrition strategy and monitoring of outcomes are thus looked at carefully in this book. More specifically, two important nutritional issues are dealt with in depth: The first being the prevention of low birth weight, starting with the health of adolescent girls, through the pre-pregnancy and pregnancy stages and ending with lactation. The second point of focus concerns the nutritional follow-up and feeding opportunities in relation to dietary requirements of children with low birth weight.

Maternal Nutrition and Child Health by Douglas R. Shanklin,Jay Hodin Pdf

Abstract: The nutritional status of the pregnant women is being recognized as one of the most important factors in the development of a baby, both pre and postnatally. Malnutrition can cause sterility, spontaneous aborption, stillbirth, premature birth, deformities and mental retardation. Statistics from many sources, such as European clinics during WWII and current figures from hospital observations all over the country, have been collected and compiled to provide information on prenatal and early childhood development in relation to nutrition in three ways--physiologically, neurologically, and behaviorally. Low birth weight is the measurement most closely associated with the incidence of neonatal disorders, and is shown to be closely related also to maternal nutrition. Reproductive casualties, particularly in regard to handicapped children, can be greatly decreased by better education and nourishment of expectant mothers.

The influence of maternal, fetal and child nutrition on the development of chronic disease in later life by Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition Pdf

In this final report on the 'The influence of maternal, fetal and child nutrition on the development of chronic disease in later life', the Subgroup on Maternal and Child Nutrition (SMCN) reviews the evidence that early life nutrition exerts long-term effects and influences the risk of chronic disease in adulthood, bringing together findings from both observational and experimental studies, and considering implications for maternal and child nutrition in the UK. SACN concludes that there is cause for concern about the later health consequences of compromised or excessive nutrient supply during early fetal and infant life. It notes that in the context of reproduction, the impact of current dietary patterns on women and girls is of particular concern, and considers that improving the nutritional status of women of childbearing age, infants and young children has the potential to improve the health of future generations. The Committee also offers recommendations for future research in this area, particularly emphasising the need for data which better characterise dietary patterns and patterns of pre and postnatal growth.

Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 2) by Robert Black,Ramanan Laxminarayan,Marleen Temmerman,Neff Walker Pdf

The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

POSHAN’s abstract digest on maternal and child nutrition research - Issue 47 by Avula, Rasmi, ed. Pdf

Season’s greetings! The 47th issue of POSHAN’s Abstract Digest features studies on maternal nutrition, anemia, and infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. The maternal nutrition articles include a modeling study that examines the importance of prenatal nutrition for reducing the global burden of non-communicable diseases, and a gap analysis study to identify key elements to strengthen maternal nutrition counselling during routine health services. There are two anemia articles: one examines the association of adolescent anemia and physical growth with learning outcomes, while the other investigates the prevalence and determinants of anemia among men. Among the two articles covering IYCF practices, one assesses food group consumption patterns among children in 59 countries and the other investigates the association between IYCF practices and nutrition indicators. Other interesting studies in this issue include two articles based on learnings from interventions through women’s self-help groups, an assessment of anthropometric data quality in India’s National Family Health Survey, another on implementation characteristics of father-inclusive interventions in low- and middle-income countries, and one on the perceptions, risk factors, and behaviors of overweight adults.

POSHAN's abstract digest on maternal and child nutrition research - Issue 32 by Avula, Rasmi Pdf

We are delighted to present the first issue of Abstract Digest for this year. It has a collection of articles on various outcomes, determinants and interventions related to maternal and child nutrition, from around the world and India, in particular. In this issue, we feature a special series on the double burden of malnutrition from The Lancet journals and three systematic reviews – 1. Micronutrient supplementation and fortification interventions and health and developmental outcomes; 2. Effectiveness of interventions for managing acute malnutrition among children below five years; and 3. Preventive interventions among adolescents. In addition, there are two unique global articles relevant for multiple contexts – the first one generates lessons about nutrition behaviour change from cluster-randomized evaluations in three countries, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Ethiopia; and the second is based on research to improve nutrition in the context of an at-scale social protection program in Mexico, which has learnings for many developing countries. Given below is the list of articles included in this issue. Please click on the title if you wish to go straight to the article or scroll down to explore the abstract in the pages that follow.

Influence of Pregnancy Weight on Maternal and Child Health by National Research Council,Institute of Medicine,Food and Nutrition Board,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Board on Children, Youth, and Families,Committee on the Impact of Pregnancy Weight on Maternal and Child Health Pdf

Influence of Pregnancy Weight on Maternal and Child Health: Workshop Report summarizes a one and a half day workshop convened in May 2006 that reviewed U.S. trends in maternal weight (prior to, during, and after pregnancy) among different populations of women; examined the emerging research findings related to the complex relationship of the biological, behavioral, psychological, and social interactions that affect maternal and pregnancy weight on maternal and child health outcomes; and discussed interventions that use this complex relationship to promote appropriate weight during pregnancy and postpartum. Given the unprecedented environment in the United States in which two-thirds of the adult population meets the criteria for being overweight or obese, the implications for women in the reproductive age period are unique in the history of the country. The concerns for maternal and infant health are real. The questions and answers tackled by committee members and workshop participants were not easy. Nevertheless, having an opportunity to explore what is known, examine the gaps in knowledge, and explore what to do now and in the future build a pathway for further inquiry and action. This report summarizes the workshop proceedings and highlights key themes that deserve further attention. The participants in this workshop describe what is known about recent trends in maternal weight gain and the impact of maternal weight during pregnancy on the health of mothers and their children. The workshop provided a valuable opportunity to assess trends that have occurred since the publication of an earlier study by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which included guidelines for recommended weight gain during pregnancy.
