“…11,13,19,20 Furthermore, little is known about the determinants of postpartum mental health care utilization. Some investigators have documented racial differences in both outpatient and inpatient postpartum psychiatric care, [25][26][27][28] and others have found a positive association between obstetric complications (e.g. pre-eclampsia, uterine bleeding) and mental health care utilization during the perinatal period.…”

“…Postpartum markers of health and well-being can help us predict women's future health ( Davis et al, 2012 , Karlamangla et al, 2006 , Wu et al, 2016 ), making the postpartum period a critically important phase in women's lives. Further, the well-known health inequalities by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic position demonstrated for pregnancy seem to continue during the postpartum period for a variety of outcomes including utilization of health care ( Glasheen et al, 2015 , DiBari et al, 2014 , Seplowitz et al, 2015 ), psychosocial well-being ( Glasheen et al, 2015 , Liu and Tronick, 2014 , Phelan et al, 2015 ), and exposure to stressors such as discrimination ( Rosenthal et al, 2015 ).…”

BackgroundRacial and ethnic inequalities in women's health are widely documented, but not for the postpartum period, and few studies examine whether neighborhood, psychosocial, and biological factors explain these gaps in women's health.MethodsUsing prospective longitudinal data collected from 1766 low to middle income women between 2008 and 2012 by the Community Child Health Network (CCHN), we tested the extent to which adjustment for neighborhood, economic, psychological, and medical conditions following a birth explained differences between African American, Latina, and White women in an indicator of physiological dysregulation allostatic load (AL), at one year postpartum as measured by 10 biomarkers: Body Mass Index, Waist Hip Ratio, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, Hemoglobin A1c, high-density lipoprotein and cholesterol ratio, and diurnal cortisol.ResultsMean postpartum AL scores were 4.65 for African American, 4.57 for Latina and 3.86 for White women. Unadjusted regression estimates for high AL for African American women (with White as the reference) were 0.80 (SD = 0.11) and 0.53 (SD = 0.15) for Latina women. Adjustment for household poverty, neighborhood, stress, and resilience variables resulted in a reduction of 36% of the excess risk in high AL for African Americans versus Whites and 42% of the excess risk for Latinas compared to Whites.ConclusionsRacial and ethnic inequalities in AL were accounted for largely by household poverty with additional contributions by psychological, economic, neighbourhood and medical variables. There remained a significant inequality between African American, and Latina women as compared to Whites even after adjustment for this set of variables. Future research into health inequalities among women should include a fuller consideration of the social determinants of health including employment, housing and prepregnancy medical conditions.

The aim of this paper quantitative research was made to find the effect of body image on the psychosocial functioning of university students. The social physique anxiety scale and body image questionnaire were designed to measure the psychosocial functioning of university students. The sample consisted of 200 students of the University of Sahiwal, COMSATS University Sahiwal, Virtual University of Pakistan, Government College University Sahiwal and ARID University Sahiwal. Their age range was from 18-27. The adults were targeted as a sample population because they mainly face problems with their body image and try to alter it according to social pressure they take according to the image they perceive about themselves. The body image was being idealized by many social factors and media and was a source of distress between many individuals so research was done to see the perception of both males and females related to their idealization of body image and how it is affecting their mental health. The technique used to collect data was the convenient sampling technique. This research is related to the relationship between a number of different aspects of body image, the social concerns of adults and their interpersonal functioning. This research concludes that males are also equally concerned about their body image. Also, negative body image could cause a problem with regular psychological functioning and interpersonal skills, also able to create social anxiety that affects the overall personality of the individual. The dissatisfaction level of an individual with his physique is determined and the factors responsible for this imaging are the social concerns of an individual and the way he perceives others will view his body.
