Doranda.

2) To know the status of anaemia in pregnant women attending Urban Health Training Centre, Doranda.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Study type: Descriptive, cross - sectional

Study setting: Urban health training centre, Doranda.
Study duration: 12 weeks
Sample size: 151 pregnant women

Sampling method: Consecutive sampling
Study tool: Pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire
RESULTS

The mean age of the pregnant women attending Urban Health Centre, Doranda was 25.14 years.
Most of them were non tribal, Hindu and came from urban area. 75.2% were literate, Maximum were
housewives. Majority (83.2%) belonged to low socio-economic class.
50 % having moderate anaemia & 17 % severe anaemia of total study population.

CONCLUSION
1. Anaemia in pregnancy was found to be most common in middle age group, non-tribal, urban and
lower socio-economic class women. 2. Most of them were multigravida. 3. IFA tablet was not being taken
universally by the pregnant women. 4. Most of the pregnant women were anaemic. 5. There was no
significant difference in occurrence of anaemia in different ethnicity and education groups and in different
trimester. 6. Anaemia vary significantly according to parity status

Abstract
Background: Overnutrition and its health consequences are escalating globally, including in low-and-
middle-income-countries. Identification of under-five children at-risk of overnutrition, is an important
preventive strategy. Overnourished under-five children are anthropometrically classified as either
being at possible risk of overweight, overweight or obese and defined, when either weight-for-height or
Body-Mass-Index-for-age (BMI-for-age) are >1SD to 2SD, >2SD to 3SD and >3SD, respectively of the
analogous World Health Organization (WHO) standards.
Objective: To compare weight-for-height and BMI-for-age definitions for quantifying the burden of
overnutrition in under-five children.
Methods: We compared for different heights, the age- and sex-specific values of weight cut-offs that
would define overnutrition as per weight-for-height and BMI-for-age metrics. Overnutrition prevalence
was then compared in simulated populations (short, intermediate, and tall) and real-life datasets, including
