Preconceptional and prenatal multivitamin-mineral supplement use in the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey
This paper examines the prevalence of multivitamin-mineral supplement use before and during pregnancy, as well as predictors of nonuse, in 9953 women who delivered live infants in the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey. Ninety-seven percent of the women were advised to take multivitamin-mineral supplements in prenatal care. Sixty-seven percent of Black mothers took supplements during pregnancy, as compared with 84% of White mothers. …
Pregnancy-related weight gain and retention
OBJECTIVES. Guidelines from the Institute of Medicine's 1990 report call for weight gains during pregnancy that are higher than those previously recommended. This study examines the potential implications of compliance with these guidelines for postpartum weight retention. METHODS. Weight retention 10 to 18 months following delivery was examined for selected women who had live births in the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey. Women's…
Advice about weight gain during pregnancy and actual weight gain
In the 1980 National Natality Survey, married mothers were asked whether their doctors had suggested a weight gain limit during pregnancy and, if so, what limit was suggested. Current obstetric recommendations call for 22-27 pound weight gain. Previous research indicates that gaining less than 16 pounds greatly increases the likelihood of a poor pregnancy outcome. Reported advice varied by mother's race, education, parity, and prepregnancy weight…
Mortality differentials by size of place and sex in Pennsylvania for 1960 and 1970
Factors which affect mortality rates differ by size of place of residence. Mortality differentials were examined by size of place of residence for two recent time periods. A new method of rate adjustment was employed to eliminate the confounding effects of differences in age composition upon rates. Positive associations between adjusted mortality rates and size of place were evident in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties. The smallest …
