We interviewed 221 antenatal women in the second or third trimester of pregnancy attending a primary care antenatal clinic at a low-income area in Delhi, India, during 2019–20. The Minimum Dietary Diversity-Women (MDD-W) score for 10 food groups was calculated using the open recall method during a 24-h recall period. The median MDD-W score was 6 (IQR 4–7). Low dietary diversity (MDD-W <5) was observed in 65 (29.4%) participants. Low SES and higher age (≥25 years) were statistically significant predictors of lower dietary diversity, but it was unrelated to parity. Furthermore, protein deficit was observed in 185 (83.7%) and calorie deficit in 210 (95%) participants.
Introduction: Several viral diseases with epidemic potential are currently threatening global health security. One of them
is Monkeypox. It is an emerging zoonotic infection which is caused by the monkeypox virus. In the past, this disease used
to be primarily detected in West and Central Africa. However, the current upsurge of cases outside the African region has led the world to explore
the causes that have led to the current situation. Aim and objectives of this study was to explore the reasons for the current upsurge and describe the
epidemiology of the disease. The keywords below were used to search from public databases and review the relevantMaterial and Methods:
publications on Monkeypox disease and its epidemiology. This search was further used to analyse and summarise the ndings into tables and
other graphical representation of the data. Monkeypox cases are currently being reported from non-endemic countriesResult and Conclusion:
e.g. USA, UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Australia, Canada, Austria, Canary Islands, Israel and
Switzerland. There are no reported cases of monkeypox virus in India till date as on 6th June 2022. Cases have mainly but not exclusively been
identied amongst men who have sex with men (MSM) seeking care in primary care and sexual health clinics in the range of 22 to 63 years of age.
Follow public health measures to prevent another pandemic in the recent future.
BackgroundAdolescence represents the period of transition from puberty to adulthood, encompassing development in the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains. Thus, this is a period of rapid growth, which is only second to that of infancy. Since the dietary patterns in this age group are influenced by many factors, adolescents have a higher tendency to remain malnourished.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
