“…Such counseling can avert a higher degree of morbidity and mortality of both mother and newborn. Existing studies have predicted that the risk of low birth weight and neonatal and infant mortality are higher for mothers making fewer antenatal visits [4].…”

The study aims to examine the association between frequency of antenatal care visits and neonatal mortality in EAG states and to explore the relationship between the timing of first antenatal care visit in the trimester and neonatal mortality in EAG states of India. The study uses data from the third round of National Family Health Survey NFHS-3. The timing of the first antenatal visit and the relative number of ANC visits received by the women is studied separately. Logistic regression is applied to find an association between continuity, the timing of ANC received and neonatal birth outcome. Results explain significant association between mothers receiving ANC 4-9 visits had experienced a lower risk of neonatal mortality. Mothers who received antenatal care visit from the first trimester experienced lest pregnancy outcomes and neonatal deaths.

“…Gynaecologists were generally more favourable to HRT as a treatment for menopausal symptoms and for disease prevention than primary care physicians (Hemminki et al 1993;Jolleys & Olesen 1996;Levy et al 2003). Thus, the level of HRT use in the population survey could very well have reflected the high level of HRT prescribing among Swiss gynaecologists.…”

“…Our study is limited by the smaller sample in the outpatient clinic and the relatively low participation rate (56 %) of women aged 45-65 years in the community sample. Since 29.3% of non-responders to the epidemiological survey were smokers versus 18.3 % of participants (data not shown), the prevalence of HRT in the community sample could have been overestimated due to a selection bias towards a healthier lifestyle (Hemminki et al 1993). However, smoking was not associated with current HRT use in the general population (results not shown).…”

“…Concerning the second possibility, it can be noted that women in the WHIMS trial with a uterus received HT as a continuous combined CEE+MPA preparation, putatively a less physiological approach than sequentially administered hormones and a formulation that was not yet available at the time most observational results were conducted. The third and fourth possibilities may be most crucial: are observational studies fatally flawed by biases such as recall bias or the healthy user bias (Hemminki et al 1993;Matthews et al 1996), or do WHIMS findings of enhanced dementia risk-using a specific HT formulation in older postmenopausal women-fail to generalize to younger women more likely to use HT for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms?…”

On 28-29 September 2004, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) convened scientists for a workshop on the aging female brain focused on translating into clinical practice discoveries concerning estrogens and progestogens. Workshop objectives were to examine effects of estrogen and progestogen on brain and cognitive function in relation to aging, to examine consistencies and apparent discrepancies between Women's Health Initiative Memory Study findings and other research on cognitive function, to determine whether additional hormone interventions could be developed in this area, and to offer advice on design of clinical trials for other interventions that might ameliorate cognitive aging. Following the workshop, participants joined by other interested scientists organized into regional work groups to AGE
