Factors associated with Nugent-bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy and postpartum among women in rural northwestern Bangladesh
Community-based longitudinal data on factors linked to bacterial vaginosis (BV) during and after pregnancy in Bangladesh are limited. Using data from a rural randomized trial of vitamin A and β-carotene supplementation, we examined factors associated with Nugent-score–assessed BV. Self-collected vaginal swabs from 1,812 participants were obtained in early pregnancy, late pregnancy, and 3 months postpartum for Nugent scoring. We analyzed associati…
The influence of nutritional status, the home environment, and schooling on behavioral outcomes of hyperactivity and inattention among grade-school children in rural Nepal
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is characterized by frequent inattention and/or hyperactivity that can affect child development, including learning, social adaptation, and mental health. Despite the impact of these behaviors, data on the prevalence and risk factors of child behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders in low- and middle-income countries are limited. This paper aims to identify maternal, child and enviro…
Early childhood height is a determinant of young adult stature in rural Nepal
Shorter young children become shorter adults but predictive effects can vary by sex, age assessed, and may be influenced by year or season of measurement
Thinness and fecundability
Undernutrition may affect fecundability, but few studies have quantified this relationship. In rural Bangladesh, where newlywed couples face strong pressures to become pregnant, we assessed fecundability, estimated by time to pregnancy (TTP), and its association with preconceptional thinness among nulligravid, newlywed female adolescents. During 2001-2002, 5,516 newlywed women aged 12-19 years participated in a home-based, 5-weekly surveillance s…
Household food insecurity is associated with low dietary diversity among pregnant and lactating women in rural Malawi
Objective To examine the association between household food insecurity and dietary diversity in the past 24h (dietary diversity score (DDS, range: 0–9); minimum dietary diversity (MDD, consumption of three or more food groups); consumption of nine separate food groups) among pregnant and lactating women in rural Malawi. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Two rural districts in Central Malawi. Subjects Pregnant ( n 589) and lactating ( n 641) w…
Risk of Depressive Symptoms Associated with Morbidity in Postpartum Women in Rural Bangladesh
Evaluation of a Novel Single-administration Food Frequency Questionnaire for Assessing Seasonally Varied Dietary Patterns among Women in Rural Nepal
Novel dietary assessment methods are needed to study chronic disease risk in agrarian cultures where food availability is highly seasonal. In 16,320 rural Nepalese women, we tested a novel food frequency questionnaire, administered once, to assess past 7-day intake and usual frequency of intake throughout the year for year-round foods and when in season for seasonal foods. Spearman rank correlations between usual and past 7-day intakes were 0.12-…
Antenatal micronutrient supplementation and third trimester cortisol and erythropoietin concentrations
Antenatal iron and multiple micronutrient supplementation has been shown in randomized trials to improve birthweight, although mechanisms are unknown. We examined late pregnancy serum erythropoietin (EPO) and cortisol concentrations in relation to maternal micronutrient supplementation and iron status indicators (haemoglobin, serum ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor) in 737 rural Nepalese women to explore evidence of stress or anaemia-associa…
Low‐birthweight rates higher among B angladeshi neonates measured during active birth surveillance compared to national survey data
Birth size is an important gauge of fetal and neonatal health. Birth size measurements were collected within 72 h of life for 16 290 live born, singleton infants in rural Bangladesh from 2004 to 2007. Gestational age was calculated based on the date of last menstrual period. Newborns were classified as small-for-gestational age (SGA) based on a birthweight below the 10th percentile for gestational age, using three sets of US reference data. Birth…
A cross-sectional study of the prevalence and risk factors for hypertension in rural Nepali women
Although the prevalence of hypertension was low in this cohort, it was more prevalent among the poorer women and was strongly associated with other cardiovascular risks. These associations at a relatively young age may confer greater risk for cardiovascular disease among women in later life, indicating the need for interventions to reduce the progression from pre-hypertension to hypertension
Determinants of Maternal Vitamin A or Beta-Carotene Supplementation Coverage
Success rates of community-based micronutrient supplementation programs may be enhanced if local residents take primary responsibility for distribution of supplements. Hence this study attempts to identify such characteristics among village-based women hired to deliver nutritional supplements to women of childbearing age in Nepal. Between 1994 and 1997 a community randomized placebo trial was conducted in the Sarlahi district to assess the impact…
