The study used height-for-age (stunting) and weight-for-age (underweig…
Burden of influenza-associated respiratory and circulatory mortality in India, 2010-2013
BACKGROUND: Influenza causes substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, however, reliable burden estimates from developing countries are limited, including India. We aimed to quantify influenza-associated mortality for India utilizing 2010-2013 nationally representative data sources for influenza virus circulation and deaths. METHODS: Virological data were obtained from the influenza surveillance network of 10 laboratories led by National Ins…

India–Nepal Open Border
India and Nepal have shared intense people-to-people relations for a very long time. Geographical factors have been reinforced by religious, cultural and ethnic affinities between the inhabitants of the Terai region and their counterparts across the border. The 1950 Treaty of Peace and Friendship between India and Nepal further reinforced the need for an open border for encouraging free movement of people and commodities across the borders. The o…
Strengthening functional community–provider linkages
Weak linkages between health providers and slum communities hinder the improvement of health services for India's urban poor. To address this issue, an urban health programme is implementing two approaches in Indore city, Madhya Pradesh, the demand–supply linkage approach and ward coordination approach. The former is based on the premise that building social capital, i.e. norms and networks within a community facilitating collective action, helps…
Weekly Alcohol Consumption, Brain Atrophy, and White Matter Hyperintensities in a Community-Based Sample Aged 60 to 64 Years
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the association between weekly alcohol consumption and brain atrophy in adults aged 60 to 64 years.

Interpreting the effects of mothers' postnatal depression on children's intelligence
A Prospective Study of Emotional Disorders in Childbearing Women
A group of first-time mothers (119) were interviewed repeatedly at fixed intervals during their pregnancies and until their babies were a year old; they were then followed up at four years. A similar investigation was carried out on 38 other primiparae and 39 multiparae, but only postnatally. The incidence of depressive neurosis rose significantly in early pregnancy and in the first three months after delivery (10 per cent and 14 per cent of the …
