“…Anthropometric measures during early life and childhood are among the most useful parameters for assessing children's health (1,2) . In particular, weight and height are most widely used to assess many aspects of children's health and nutritional status (2,3) . Growth indices are associated with the risk of morbidity, mortality, and cognitive and even behavioural status (2,(4)(5)(6)(7) .…”

ObjectiveHeight-for-age shorter than 3th percentile or 2 sd below the median of the National Center for Health Statistics/WHO growth reference is known as stunting. The present study aimed to measure the association of several factors with stunting in a cohort born from 2009 to 2010 in Shiraz, Iran.Design/Setting/SubjectsNested case–control study conducted on pre-school children in 2016. Participants were 200 children suffering from stunting (case group) and 200 children with normal height (control group).ResultsResults of multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested a significant relationship (adjusted OR; 95 % CI) between stunting and mother’s occupation (employed v. housewife: 3·58; 1·73, 7·39) and chronic diseases (yes v. no: 2·93; 1·25, 6·88). In addition, significant associations were found between family income (<10 million v. >30 million Rials: 5·63; 2·46, 12·87), diary consumption (very little v. high: 5·93; 1·74, 20·18) and animal protein in diet (low v. very high: 2·42; 1·13, 5·19) and stunting among children. Also, chance of stunting was inversely associated with birth interval (<2 years v. first child: 3·13; 1·45, 6·76) and duration of exclusive breast-feeding (18–24 months v. formula only or breast-feeding for <18 months: 0·53; 0·30, 0·92).ConclusionsMothers being housewife, possibly due to having more time to take care of their children, childhood diseases and consumption of dairy foods are strong and modifiable factors which can positively affect Iranian children’s stature. Higher family income is another important factor in stunting but under less parental control.

“…Compared to non-abused counterparts, women who experienced p-IPV are more likely to report a miscarriage (Fanslow et al, 2008), foetal injury due to physical violence (Kanawaku et al, 2015), LBW (Berhanie et al, 2019), growth delay of foetus (Nejatizade et al, 2017) small for gestational age (Alhusen et al, 2013), prematurity (Kiely et al, 2011), or preterm birth due to psychological abuse (Evazpoor et al, 2016;Hill et al, 2016;Nongrum et al, 2014;Rao et al, 2016). A recent case-control study in 2019 found that women who suffered p-IPV had a 3.1-fold increased probability of giving birth to an infant categorised as LBW and PTB (Alhusen et al, 2014;Berhanie et al, 2019).…”

Prenatal intimate partner violence (p-IPV) can harm the physical and mental health of mothers and their offspring, and the effects can persist throughout life. Among Asian countries, which are strongly influenced by patriarchal ideology, Confucian beliefs and gender norms, Vietnamese women are at high risk of physical and psychological trauma from abusive behaviours. Current social, economic, and political transitions can reinforce gender inequality, and also change expectations of partners within intimate relationship; this interplay has been associated with individual men’s use of violence.

The influence of ergonomic breastfeeding training on some health parameters in infants and mothers: a randomized controlled trial

2019

BackgroundBreastfeeding is considered as a protective factor against non-communicable diseases in infants and mothers. The first aim of this study was to assess the influence of ergonomic breastfeeding training on the infants’ growth. The second aim was to investigate the effectiveness of this training for improving musculoskeletal disorders in mothers.MethodsIn this randomized control trial, 104 participants who were referred to the health centers in Shiraz for breastfeeding care were randomly allocated into the intervention or comparison group using a size-four block sampling method. At birth, 2, 4, and 6 months later childbirth, Rapid Upper Limb Assessment was used to assess musculoskeletal disorders in participants, and the severity of their discomfort was measured with the Visual Analog Scale. During the 6 months of the study (March to September, 2017), the weight and height of the neonates were measured every 2 months.ResultsSignificant differences were found between groups in the priority level for corrective action in mothers’ postures determined by Rapid Upper Limb Assessment at 2, 4 and 6 months after childbirth (p < 0.001). Based on the Visual Analog Scale results in mothers at 6 months after childbirth, fewer back pain was reported by the intervention group (p = 0.03). No significant difference were found in the infants’ weights and heights in boys and girls at all growing stages between the two study groups (p > 0.05). However, the mean height for age of the girl infants at age of 6 months was higher among intervention groups compared to the controls (p = 0.01).ConclusionThis study demonstrated that ergonomic breastfeeding training reduced the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in mothers but seems not to have any significant and consistent impact on the infants’ growth.Trial registrationfa.irct.ir IRCT2014042317398N1.
