Role of Nutrition in Maternal Health

Abstract

More than a third of all families in India (34 percent) had just one or fewer meals the day before, according to a report from the Global Standing Committee on Nutrition. For this reason, the researchers conducted this study in an effort to learn more about how the dietary habits of pregnant women and their babies, as well as the health consequences associated with childbirth, are affected by the socioeconomic and cultural environments in which they live. The University of Medical Sciences Ethics Committee has accepted the research plan. Informed consent forms and waivers of responsibility were signed by each participant. There were 453 pregnant women remaining, of whom 425 had their BMI recorded in their medical records. Together, the data demonstrate that the wealth index of families has no impact on children's nutritional health unless the mothers have received formal education and are knowledgeable of how to utilise the available resources to give appropriate and diversified meals to all children.
