  • Maternal early second trimester pregnancy weight in relation to birth outcome among Bengalee Hindus of Kolkata, India

    Open AccessSamiran Bisai, Dilip Mahalanabis et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2007

    The findings suggest a positive association between maternal early second trimester pregnancy weight and birth outcome. The present study provided an efficient cut-off point for detecting LBW. Antenatal caregivers in health institutions and community health workers in the field can use this cut-off value for screening pregnant women at early second trimester

  • Low Birth Weight and Normal Birth Weight Newborns of Kolkata, India

    Open AccessSamiran Bisai, Dilip Mahalanabis et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2007Citada por: 2

    This study compared several maternal risk factors of low birth weight (LBW) between 204 normal birth weight (NBW) and 133 LBW newborns from Kolkata, India. Based on their birth weight (BW), newborns were classified as LBW (BW < 2.5 kg) and NBW (BW ≥ 2.5 kg). Results revealed that means for maternal age (MA, p < 0.05), gestational age (GA, p < 0.01), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration (p < 0.05), and per capita daily income (PCDI, p < 0.05) were signif…

  • Empirically derived new equations for calculating body fat percentage based on skinfold thickness and midarm circumference in preschool Indian children

    Open AccessSaijuddin Shaikh, Dilip MahalanabisARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2004

    We wanted to develop and apply new equations based on skinfold and midarm measurements for estimating %fat in preschool children suitable for field use. Prediction equations were developed on preschool‐aged urban boys (n = 100) and girls (n = 84). Skinfolds at four sites and midarm measurements were regressed on %fat derived from equations based on height and weight and from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA; resistance at 50 kHz). These equa…

  • Orientación sobre lactancia materna en un hospital para enfermedades diarreicas

    Open AccessRukhsana Haider, M A Islam et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…1997

    Se adiestró a consejeras en materia de lactancia materna para que dieran asesoramiento a las madres de lactantes parcialmente amamantados y hospitalizados por diarrea, con el fin de lograr que las madres iniciaran la lactancia materna exclusiva durante su permanencia en el hospital. Se asignó de forma aleatoria a lactantes (n = 250) de 12 meses de edad o menos a un grupo de intervención y a un grupo testigo. Las madres del grupo de intervención f…

  • Maternal education and family income as determinants of severe disease following acute diarrhoea in children

    Open AccessDilip Mahalanabis, Abu Syed Golam Faruque et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1996

    In a case-control study among the urban poor of Dhaka, Bangladesh, the association of maternal education and family income with severity of disease due to diarrhoea in children was examined. After adjusting for family income, 7 or more years of school education was associated with 54% reduced risk of severe disease as indicated by the presence of dehydration. Income in the uppermost quartile of this population, independently of maternal education…
