Preterm delivery but not intrauterine growth retardation is associated with young maternal age among primiparae in rural Nepal
Pregnancy during adolescence is associated with adverse birth outcomes, including preterm delivery and low birthweight. The nutrient availability to the fetus may be limited if the mother is still growing. This research aims to study the effects of pregnancy during adolescence in a nutritionally poor environment in rural Nepal. This study utilized data from a randomized controlled trial of micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy in south-e…
Risk of flood-related mortality in Nepal
In July 1993, severe flooding devastated Sarlahi district in Nepal. The next month, a follow-up study of a large population cohort was undertaken. The study is unique in that a prospective research database was used to verify residency prior to the flood and to confirm vital status afterwards. It evaluated 41,501 children aged between two and nine years and adults aged 15-70 in 7,252 households. Flood-related fatality rates were 13.3 per 1,000 fo…
Eating Down in Pregnancy
Adequate nutrition during pregnancy, vital for the health of the mother and the newborn, may be influenced by pregnancy-related food beliefs. This study explores food-related beliefs and practices specifically related to reducing food intake in pregnancy in a rural community in Nepal by combining ethnographic and quantitative data collected from pregnant Nepali women. A large proportion (60%) of women reported reducing rice intake during pregnanc…

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…
