“…Poverty in India is a major barrier to positive health outcomes for both men and women,but poverty tends to yield a higher burden on women and girls' health due to malnutrition and unsafe fuels. The prevalence was found to be higher than some previous studies (24) . According to the World Health Organization, 54.8 % of women around 15-49 years and 50.4% of children under 5 years of age were reported to be anaemic in Tamil Nadu by a National Family Health Survey.…”

Anemia is the decreased oxygen carrying capacity of the blood due to reduction in the concentration of Hemoglobin or RBC. Anemia has a high prevalence and it is considered as a public health issue affecting developed and developing countries. It occurs most commonly in women and children.Prevalence of Anemia worldwide suggests the need for substantial improvement in the nutritional status of women.The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of Anemia among women patients visiting a Dental hospital. Patient records of a total of 86000 patients who visited the hospital between June 2019 to March 2020 were reviewed and the laboratory values of Hemoglobin levels and RBC count of women patients undergoing complete hemogram were collected from the case sheets of . The age, Hb% and RBC values were collected. The collected data was tabulated in Excel. It was then imported to SPSS software. Descriptive statistics was performed for the obtained results and comparison between groups were done by using Chi square tests. p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The prevalence of Anemia among the total women patients was 39.1%. Among the 39.1% women who were diagnosed with anemia, it was found to be more prevalent in the women of age group 40-60 years with a frequency of 17.8%. The most commonly observed range of Haemoglobin is 12-13g/dl with a frequency of 26.6% . 0.6% of women had RBC count less than 3 million cells/mm 3 . A significant number of female patients were tested with abnormal results. The most common age group diagnosed with Anemia are women belonging to 40-60 years of age. Routine hemoglobin testing in Dental practice of population at risk may be beneficial. Screening of Anemia is essential to avoid late diagnosis.

“…Diets are not calorically restricted, but are high in refined carbohydrates and fat, and may be protein or micronutrient limited -fried dough is a main staple (Valeggia et al, 2010;Lanza and Valeggia, 2014). In recent surveys, the prevalence of adult obesity and metabolic syndrome were 45% and 38% (Lagranja et al, 2014), while over half of adult women were borderline anemic to anemic (Goetz and Valeggia, 2017).

Objectives: Cesarean delivery may increase childhood infectious morbidity risks via altered birth exposures and subsequent immune, microbial, and epigenetic development. Many Latin American indigenous populations experience dual burdens of infectious and chronic diseases, and are particularly vulnerable to rising rates of cesarean delivery and associated adverse outcomes. The Qom/Toba are an indigenous population in Argentina experiencing rapid lifestyle transitions. We hypothesized that cesarean delivery would be associated with increased risk of infectious symptoms in Qom children after adjusting for gestational and nutritional factors. Methods:We conducted a secondary analysis of birth records and monthly anthropometric and illness data collected previously from 90 Qom children (aged 1-55 months). We tested for additive effects of birth mode on risk of gastrointestinal (GI) and respiratory illness (RI) in This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…Some covariates such as anemia and physical activity might play a role in the association between diet and depressive symptoms. In fact, anemia is associated with both diet and depression [16][17][18]. In a study on French individuals, depressed participants were significantly more likely to have anemia compared to non-depressed participants, even after adjustment for sociodemographic and health-related variables.…”

Dietary Restrictions and Depressive Symptoms: Longitudinal Results from the Constances Cohort

Cross-sectional results have suggested a linear association between the number of dietary exclusions and depressive symptoms. This longitudinal study aimed to examine the direction of this association. Methods: In the population-based Constances cohort, depressive symptoms were defined by a score ≥19 on the Centre of Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale. Diet was measured with a 24-item qualitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Both variables were available at inclusion (from 2012 to 2014) and on follow-up (2015 for the CES-D and 2017 for diet). Food exclusion was categorized into five different groups: No exclusion, exclusion of one, two, three, or ≥4 food groups according to the self-reported number of food groups rarely or never consumed. Logistic regressions were conducted, either taking depressive symptoms as the outcome on follow-up with dietary exclusions at baseline as predictor or with the opposite, adjusting for age, sex, education, income, alcohol intake, smoking, physical activity, and anemia. The path analysis included outcomes and covariates in one model. Results: The median follow-up was three years. A total of 29,337 participants (53.4% women, 48.15 ± 12.9 y.o.) had complete CES-D data and 25,336 (53.56% women, 49.05 ± 12.8 y.o.) FFQ data. Dietary exclusion at inclusion predicted depressive symptoms at follow-up (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.35 [1.62–3.40] for ≥4 excluded items compared to no exclusions). Depressive symptoms at inclusion predicted dietary exclusions at follow-up (3.45 [1.93–6.16] for ≥4 excluded items). In the path analysis, the standardized estimate of the association between dietary exclusions at inclusion and depressive symptoms at follow-up was by far higher than the opposite (0.1863 and 0.00189, respectively, both p < 0.05). Conclusions: The association of dietary exclusion with subsequent depression is stronger than the opposite association.
