Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of breast milk and breastfeeding, along with the associated factors, among reproductive-age women attending a family medicine unit. Methods: Conducted in Ataşehir, Istanbul, from April to January 2020, this cross-sectional study included women aged 18-49 registered at the unit. Participants completed a demographic information questionnaire and a 30-question survey on breastfeeding knowledge, using a 3-point Likert scale. Results: The study comprised 205 female participants, with the mean age of 33.7±8.65 years. The overall knowledge score was 71.8±17.1, with the highest score in the category of adequate breastfeeding duration (90.4±22.0). The breast milk general knowledge level score was lower in those with ≤ 8 years of education compared to those with 9-12 years and >12 years (64.8±16.9 for ≤ 8 years, 74.5±14.5 for 9-12 years, 74.3±17.6 for >12 years, p=0.001). Additionally, while the score was 74.2±17.3 for employed women, it was 68.8±16.5 for unemployed women (p=0.012). Conclusion: While knowledge about the benefits of breast milk and breastfeeding for babies is high, gaps exist in understanding the benefits for mothers and in correct breastfeeding techniques.

Abstract

Giriş: Tüm dünyada ciddi bir halk sağlık sorunu olan obeziteye yönelik çeşitli önemler alınmasına rağmen, fazla kilolu ve obez birey sayısındaki artış devam etmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı yetişkinlerde beden kitle indekslerine göre sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi, sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ve zayıflama girişimlerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Araştırma, ayakta tanı ve/veya tedavi amacıyla özel bir hastaneye başvuran hasta ve hasta yakınlarına ulaşılarak, dâhil edilme koşullarını sağlayan, gönüllü 150 birey ile yürütülmüş kesitsel tipte bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın verileri, Bilgi Formu, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği ve Sağlıkla İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanılarak araştırmacı tarafından yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Beden kitle indekslerine (BKİ) göre bireyler normal, fazla kilolu ve obez olarak üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Bulgular: Bireylerin %23,3’ü obez, %’30’u fazla kilolu ve %46,7’si normal kiloludur. BKİ arttıkça zayıflama girişim oranlarında anlamlı derecede yükselme olduğu görülmüştür (p=0,0001). Obez bireylerde zayıflama amacıyla bitkisel destek kullanımı anlamlı derecede yüksektir (p=0,029) ve fazla kilolu bireylerin %55,6’sının sağlık profesyonelleri dışındaki kaynaklardan edindikleri diyet programlarını uyguladıkları görülmüştür. BKİ arttıkça Sağlıkla İlgili Yaşam Kalitesinin Fiziksel Fonksiyon alt grup ortalamasında anlamlı derecede azalma görülmüştür (p=0,0001). Obez bireylerin çoğunluğunun (%82,9’unun) mevcut ağırlıklarından memnun olmadıkları, dörtte birinin (%25,7’sinin) herhangi bir zayıflama girişiminde bulunmadığı, bununla birlikte obez bireylerin normal ve fazla kilolu bireylerle benzer ve orta düzeyde sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını yaşamlarına kattıkları görülmüştür (p=0,170). Sonuç: Obezitenin olası risk faktörleri kadın, evli ve düşük eğitim düzeyine sahip olmak ve herhangi bir işte çalışmamak olarak değerlendirilebilir. BKİ, sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesinin fiziksel sağlık özet değerinde düşüklük ile ilişkilidir. Obez bireyler zayıflama açısından desteklenmeli ve ‘Sağlıklı Hayat Merkezlerine’ yönlendirilmelidir. Geleneksel diyet girişimleri yerine bireylerin yaşam kalitesini artırmak için bütüncül (fiziksel, ruhsal, sosyal) bir yaklaşım uygulanmalıdır. Obezite tedavisinde vazgeçilmez role sahip diyetisyenler beslenmede davranış değişikliği ile ilgili bilgi, deneyim ve uygulama becerilerine sahip olmalıdırlar., Aim: Although various preventions are taken around the world for obesity, the increase in the number of overweight and obese individuals continues. The aim of this study was to evaluate health-related quality of life, healthy lifestyle behaviors and weight loss interventions according to body mass indexes in adults. Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out with 150 volunteers who provided the conditions of inclusion criteria. The Information Form, Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale and Health-Related Quality of Life Scale were applied by the researcher by face to face interview technique. According to body mass index (BMI), individuals were divided into three groups as normal, overweight and obese. Data was evaluated by using descriptive statistics. Results:. In the study (23.3%) individuals were obese, (30%) were overweight, (46.7%) were normal weight. As BMI increased, there was a significant increase in slimming intervention rates (p=0,0001). In obese individuals the use of herbal supplementation for slimming was significantly higher (p = 0.029) and 55,6% of overweight adults were observed to follow diet programs obtained from sources other than healthcare professionals. As the BMI increased, health-related quality of life was significantly decreased in physical function components p=0,0001. There was no significant difference between BMI and mental health components of quality of life (p = 0,568). The majority of obese individuals (82,9%) were not satisfied with their current weight, one fourth (25.7%) did not attempt any slimming interventions, but obese individuals have been to added similar and moderate healthy lifestyle behaviors to normal and overweight individual’s lives (p=0,170). Conclusion: According to our findings, possible risk factors of obesity can be considered as being female, married, low education level and not working in any job. BMI is associated with low physical health summary value of health-related quality of life. Individuals with these characteristics should be supported in terms of slimming and directed to Healthy Life Centers. Instead of traditional diet therapies, a holistic (physical, mental, social) approach should be applied to improve the quality of life of individuals. It is recommended that dietitians who have an important role in the treatment of obesity should have knowledge, experience and practice about behavioral change in nutrition.

Abstract

Aim: There has been a gradual rise in late preterm infant rates in recent years. Although the late preterm infants have a lower risk compared to smaller preterms, some recent studies have suggested an increased risk of mortality and morbidity in this group compared to term infants. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of late-preterm births in our hospital, detect the neonatal mortality and morbidity of late-preterm newborns and compare the results with term newborns. Material and Method: For this prospective study, the gestational age of all infants born alive in our hospital between May 1, 2009- May 1, 2010 were assessed using the mother's last menstrual period and the new Ballard test. Our study group consisted of 220 infants selected among infants born late-preterm (34 0/7 -36 6/7 weeks), while 200 term newborns constituted our control group. Newborns with major congenital abnormalities and whose families did not consent were excluded. The subjects were seen and evaluated at 72 hours and weekly for one month. Results: During the-study period 412 of 2582 (15.2%) babies born in our hospital were late-preterms. The number and rate of neonatal ICU admissions of term and late preterm infants were 28 (14%) and 172 (54.5%), respectively. Respiratory problems in late-preterms were significantly more frequent (31.8% versus 2%). Mechanical ventilation was used in 20,9% of late-preterms, while no term newborns needed it. Late-preterms overall were more likely to have feeding problems (19.1% vs 0.5%), hyperbilirubinemia (44.1% vs 7.5%), hypoglycemia (6.4% vs 1.0%), hypothermia (14.5% vs 0%), and infection (15.9% vs 0%). The mortality rate in late-preterm infants were 1 times more than term infants (5.5% vs 0.5%). Conclusions: Late-preterms have a significantly higher risk of morbidity and mortality compared to term newborns. They should be monitored closely in terms of a higher risk of morbidity and a higher risk of admission to hospital. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was assessment of hospital costs of 211 preterm babies admitted to NICU in a 12-month period. Methods: Preterm babies with gestational age 28-37 GW hospitalized in Dr. L. Kırdar Kartal Research and Training Hospital NICU between November 1st, 2006 to October 31st, 2007 were included in this retrospective study. The financial records of the babies were plotted and investigational, interventional, consumable costs, drugs and ancillary costs were determined. The average daily cost of a preterm has been determined. Group I and II consisted of babies with gestational ages 37-33 GW and 32-28 GWs respectively. The length of stay, ventilation duration and costs of each group were compared. Findings: The mean birth weight was 1689±497 gr. The mean length of hospital stay was 13.6±13.4 days. Hundred and four [49,5%) patients were found to be ventilated. The median ventilation day was 3 days. We found a statistically significant relation between length of hospital stay, ventilation duration, presence of intervention, RDS, sepsis and hospital costs. The mean total hospitalization cost and the daily cost of a preterm was determined as $4187 and $303 respectively. The highest intensive care costs of preterm neonates were found to be paid for interventional procedures, followed by NICU personnel salary and ancillary costs. Between two groups statistically significant difference was found for length of stay, duration of ventilation, interventional and consumable costs [P=0.014, P=0.019, P=0,001, P=0.03 respectively). Conclusion: Strategies for prevention of prematurity and early weaning from mechanical ventilation may shorten length of hospital stay leading to decreased NICU costs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological feature pediatric patients hospitalized for intoxication. Data were collected from medical records of children ≤14 years of age, admitted for intoxication 2005-2007. Of the 2,989 admissions, 330 (11%) were intoxication cases; 238 (72.1%) were <5 years old. Pharmaceutic agents were identified in 76.1% Psychotropics were the most frequently ingested drugs (33.9%), and tricyc antidepressants were the most common (27.1%). Non-pharmaceutic agen were identified in 79 (23.9%) patients, 54.4% of which were pesticide The majority of all cases were accidental poisonings (90%), which occurr mostly in children <5 years old (71.5%), mainly by pharmaceutics, follow by self-inflicted intoxications (8.2%), which demonstrated the highest in children >10 years old (6.7%). Intoxications are important especially among children <5 years old. Prevent measures such as implementation of the use of child-proof drug prescript bottles and efforts towards public education may reduce the risks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The objective of this study was to establish standard penile size in healthy full-term Turkish newborns and to evaluate the relation between penile and other anthropometric measures. For this prospective study, stretched penile length (SPL) and penile diameter (PD) of live-borns delivered in our hospital between September 2007-December 2008 were measured, and their birthweight, length and head circumference were recorded. Penile versus other anthropometric correlations were determined by Pearson analyses, followed by linear regression. In 1217 full-term subjects, mean SPL was 3.16+0.39 cm (±2.5 SD = 2.19-4.14 cm), and mean PD was 1.21+0.11 cm (±2.5 SD=0.93-1.49 cm). Linear regression analysis showed a strong correlation of SPL (p=0.0001) to height, and PD to height (p=0.0001) and birthweight (p=0.002). Formulas were calculated for predicted individual values for PL and PD of newborns. In conclusion, there is a correlation between neonatal anthropometric measurements and penile anthropometry. Mean anthropometric differences of various ethnicities may account for the differences in mean SPL and PD among various ethnic populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: Prevalence of low birth weight deliveries may vary across different environments. The necessity of determination of regional data prompted this study. Methods: Information of all deliveries from January 2004 to December 2008 was obtained from delivery registry records retrospectively. Initial data including birth weight, vital status, sex, maternal age and mode of delivery were recorded using medical files. The frequency of low birth weight, very low birth weight, extremely low birth weight and stillbirth deliveries were determined. Findings: Among 19,533 total births, there were 450 (23.04 per 1000) stillbirths. Low birth weight rate was 10.61%. A significant increase in yearly distribution of low birth weight deliveries was observed (P<0.001). Very low birth weight and extremely low birth weight delivery rates were 3.14% and 1.58% respectively. Among 2073 low birth weight infants, 333 (16.06%) were stillbirths. The stillbirth delivery rate and the birth of a female infant among low birth weight deliveries were significantly higher than infants with birth weight ≥2500g (P<0.001, OR=28.37), (P<0.001) retrospectively. There was no statistical difference between low birth weight and maternal age. The rate of cesarean section among low birth weight infants was 49.4%. Conclusion: High low birth weight and stillbirth rates, as well as the increase in low birth weight deliveries over the past five years in this study are striking. For reduction of increased low birth weight rates, appropriate intervention methods should be initiated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: Unintended pregnancy is an important public health problem all over the world due to its negative effects on mother and child health. The most common causes of unintended pregnancies are nonuse or misuse of contraceptive methods. The aim of this study was to determine the recognition frequency of emergency contraceptive methods among women and related factors of this situation. Material and Method: This descriptive study was conducted at a research and education hospital's obstetrical outpatient clinics. All of the women aged 18-49years attend to these clinics due to any health problem were enrolled to the study. Data was collected by a questionnaire generated by the investigators and p values under 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Fifty-five point five percent of 614 women enrolled to the study were using modern contraceptive methods and 37.9% of these were faced to unintended pregnancy at least one time through out their sexual life. 54.5% of these unintended pregnancies have been resulted with deliveries. The rate of unintended pregnancy was higher in women with higher pregnancy count. Forty-eight point nine percent of participants thought that it is impossible to prevent pregnancy after an unprotected sexual intercourse. The rate of women which were aware of at least one synonymous expressions of emergency contraception was 27.9%. Forty-five of these women had known the exact meaning of emergency contraception. The emergency contraception usage rate was 1.1% in general population but this was 7.4% in women who were aware of emergency contraception. Conclusion: It is possible to decrease unintended pregnancies by using emergency contraception properly. However, the knowledge of women about emergency contraception is inadequate. Therefore, education programmes should be conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hipotezlerimiz obez bireylerde beden imgesinin yaşam niteliğini negatif etkilemesi, sosyal görünüş kaygısının artması ve benlik saygısının azalmasıdır.Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı bu çalışmanın örneklemini Mayıs-Temmuz 2018 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Üniversitesi İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Obezite ve Diyabet Polikliniğine başvuran ve çalışmayı kabul eden obez bireylerle, obez olmayan hasta yakınları oluşturmuştur. Vaka ve kontrol gruplarına 185 kişi alınmış ve çalışma toplam 370 kişiyle tamamlanmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplamak için Hasta Tanımlama Formu, Beden İmgesinin Yaşam Niteliğine Etkisi Ölçeği, Sosyal Görünüş Kaygısı Ölçeği, Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada istatistiksel analizler NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 Statistical Software (Utah, USA) paket programı ile yapılmıştır.Obez grupta hipotiroidi, böbrek hastalıkları, bağırsak hastalıkları, kalp hastalıkları, kanser, mide hastalıkları, diyabet, hipertansiyon, yüksek kolestrol, solunum sistemi hastalıkları görülme oranı kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek gözlenmiştir (p0,05). Obez grubun Sosyal Görünüş Kaygısı Ölçeği puan ortalamaları kontrol grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (p0,05).Sonuç olarak hipotezlerimizden ikisini destekler yönde sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Çalışmamızda Beden İmgesinin Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi Ölçeği'nin obez bireylerin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılabileceği gösterilmiş olmakla birlikte toplumun her kesiminden yapılacak başka çalışmalarla bu sonuç desteklenmelidir. Üç ayrı ölçeğin ikili olarak korelasyon değerlendirmesinde Beden İmgesinin Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi Ölçeği'nin 3 alt faktörü ile Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği negatif yönde ilişkili bulunmuştur.Beden ve ruh sağlığı ayrılmaz bir bütündür. Obez bireylerin değerlendirilmesinde biyopsikososyal durum mutlaka göz önüne alınmalıdır. Kişinin beden imgesinin yaşam kalitesini negatif etkileyebileceği ve görünüşü nedeniyle sosyal kaygı yaşayabileceği düşünülerek yaklaşılmalı ve gerekli destek sağlanmalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Obezite, Beden İmgesinin Yaşam Niteliğine Etki Ölçeği, Sosyal Görünüş Kaygısı Ölçeği, Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği Obesity Obesity is one of the important public health problems. Many scales are used in evaluation of obese individuals. These scales are important to understand the relationship between physical and psychological problems.The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the effect of body image on life quality, social appearance anxiety and self-esteem in obese and non-obese adults. Our hypotheses are that in obese individuals body image affects life quality negatively, social appearance anxiety increases and self-esteem decreases.Obese individuals who admitted to Istanbul University Istanbul School of Medicine Hospital Obesity and Diabetes Outpatient Clinic in between May-July 2018 and accepted to participate the study and non-obese patient relatives constituted the sample of this study at which quantitative research methods were used. A hundred and eighty-five people were included in both case and control groups and the study was completed with 370 people. Patient Identification Form, The Effect of Body Image on Life Quality Scale, Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used for data collection. Statistical analyses were performed via NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 Statistical Software (Utah, USA).In obese group the prevalence of hypothyroidism, renal diseases, intestinal diseases, cardiac diseases, cancer, gastric diseases, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, respiratory system diseases were statistically significantly higher compared with that of control group (p0,05). The mean scores of Social Appearance Anxiety Scale were higher statistically significantly in obese group compared with that of control group (p0,05). In conclusion results that support the two of our hypotheses were obtained. As well as in our study The Effect of Body Image on Life Quality Scale was shown to be used in obese individuals, this result should be supported in studies which will be performed in all parts of the society. In binary correlation evaluation of 3 separate scales, negative relationship was found between 3 sub-factors of The Effect of Body Image on Life Quality Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.Body and mental health are an inseparable whole. Biopsychosocial status should be considered in evaluation of obese individuals. Approach to obese individuals should be performed with taking into consideration that body image of the person could affect his/her life quality negatively and he/she could experience social anxiety due to his/her appearance and necessary supports should be provided.Key words: Obesity, The Effect of Body Image on Life Quality Scale, Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale 95

Abstract

Bu çalışma; obezitenin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ve sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi düzeylerine etkisini incelemek amacı ile tanımlayıcı ve analitik olarak planlanmış bir araştırmadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Bilgi Formu, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği (Health Promotion Life Style Scale), Sağlıkla İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (SF-Short Form 36 Scale) kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizi NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System, 2007 Statistical Software) kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir.Çalışmaya 150 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda BKİ'ne göre oluşturulan grupların arasında yaş ortalamaları, cinsiyet, medeni durum, çalışma durumu, alkol kullanımı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılanların BKİ kategorilerine göre, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği alt grup puanları karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. BKİ kategorisine göre vücut ağırlığı arttıkça Sağlıkla İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi fiziksel fonksiyon, genel sağlık ve fiziksel sağlık bileşenleri ortalama puanlarının azaldığı bulunmuştur. Ağırlık artışı sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi fiziksel boyutunu olumsuz etkilerken, mental boyutunu etkilememektedir.Obezitenin önlenmesi ve tedavi edilmesi, obez kişilerin daha kaliteli bir yaşam seviyesine ulaşması için sağlıklı yaşam davranışlarının desteklenmesi ve sürdürülmesi gereklidir. This study is a research planed as descriptive which aims to investigate the affects of obesity over the level of health related quality of life and healthy lifestyle behavior according to BMI status. In research, as data collection method, it is used Data Sheet, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale and Body Image Scale. The Statistical analysis of data collected is performed using NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System, 2007 Statistical Software). 150 people are included into the study. As result of the study, the significant relationship was found between genders, average age, marital status, working status, alcohol use, which are groups, constituted according to BMI. The significant relationship was not found between average value of Health Promotion Lifestyle Scale's subgroups that interpersonal relations, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth and stress management, which are groups, constituted according to BMI. According to the BMI category it is found that; when 'the obesity level' increases, physical functioning, general health perceptions, physical component scores decreases. Excess weight was related worse physical, but not mental HRQOL.In the preventing and treatment of obesity and also to increase the quality of life in obesity, healthy life style behaviors is supported and maintained. 73

Abstract

The objective of this study was to establish standard penile size in healthy full-term Turkish newborns and to evaluate the relation between penile and other anthropometric measures. For this prospective study, stretched penile length (SPL) and penile diameter (PD) of live-borns delivered in our hospital between September 2007-December 2008 were measured, and their birthweight, length and head circumference were recorded. Penile versus other anthropometric correlations were determined by Pearson analyses, followed by linear regression. In 1217 full-term subjects, mean SPL was 3.16 +/- 0.39 cm (+/- 2.5 SD = 2.19-4.14 cm), and mean PD was 1.21 +/- 0.11 cm (+/- 2.5 SD = 0.93-1.49 cm). Linear regression analysis showed a strong correlation of SPL (p = 0.0001) to height, and PD to height (p = 0.0001) and birthweight (p = 0.002). Formulas were calculated for predicted individual values for PL and PD of newborns. In conclusion, there is a correlation between neonatal anthropometric measurements and penile anthropometry. Mean anthropometric differences of various ethnicities may account for the differences in mean SPL and PD among various ethnic populations.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, perinatal complications and the outcome of macrosomic infants. A retrospective analysis was made of macrosomic deliveries and of those admitted into the Neonatology Unit. A control group of 854 deliveries weighing between 2500-4000 g was randomly composed. The incidence of macrosomic deliveries, stillbirth rates, sex, parity, maternal age, mode of delivery, perinatal complications like birth traumas, hypoglycemia, polycythemia, asphyxia, admission rate into the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and outcome were analyzed. Among a total of 11,827 deliveries, 829 (7%) were macrosomic neonates. Statistical analysis showed male predominance (p = 0.0001), a significant increase in cesarean section (p = 0.0001), and higher parity for the macrosomic group (p = 0.0001). The mothers of macrosomic newborns were older (p = 0.0001). The admission frequency of macrosomic deliveries into the NICU was almost two-fold. Birth injuries were found in 53 (6.4%) macrosomic infants, and macrosomic deliveries had a two-fold risk for birth injuries. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between macrosomics and the control group for the frequency of birth traumas (p = 0.0007), hypoglycemia (p = 0.0001) and polycythemia (p = 0.0006). There were two deaths in macrosomic group versus one among control cases. Regarding the high birth trauma and NICU admission rates of macrosomic infants, it is important to emphasize the significance of prenatal diagnosis of fetal macrosomia and of management of these high-risk pregnancies in tertiary level hospitals.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relation between maternal prenatal hemoglobin concentration and neonatal anthropometric measurements., Methods: All pregnant women who gave birth at the Obstetrics Department of Dr. LK Kartal Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006, and their newborns were included in this prospective, cross-sectional study. The newborns' weight, height, head, and chest circumference were recorded. Mothers with hemoglobin concentration less than 11g/dl were evaluated as anemic. The anemic mothers were then grouped into 3 categories according to the corresponding hemoglobin concentration: mild (10.9-9.0g/dl), moderate (8.9-7.0 g/dl), and severe anemic (less than 7 g/dl). The anthropometric measurements of newborns from non-anemic and anemic mother groups were compared., Results: Of the 3688 pregnant women, 1588 (43%) were found to be anemic. Among the anemic mothers, 1245 had mild (78.5%), 311 had moderate (19.5%), and 32 (2%) had severe anemia. The anthropometric measurements (height, weight, head and chest circumference) of newborns of anemic and non-anemic mother groups showed a statistically significant difference (p=0.036, p=0.044, p=0.013, and p=0.0002). There was a statistically significant difference in height, weight, and chest circumference of newborns of severe anemic and mild anemic mothers (p=0.017, p=0.008 and p=0.02). The height (1.1 cm), weight (260 g), head (0.42 cm), and chest (1 cm) circumference of neonates in the severe anemic group is less than the mild anemic group., Conclusion: Anemia during pregnancy affect the anthropometric measurements of a newborn. Severe anemia had significant negative effect on neonatal anthropometric measurements.
