To examine the role of maternal diet in determining low birth weight (LBW) in Indian infants.
Data from the National Family Health Survey (2005-06) were used. Multivariate regression analysis was used to analyse the effect of maternal diet on infant birth weight.
Infants whose mothers consumed milk and curd daily [odds ratio (OR), 1.17; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-1.29]; fruits daily (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.07-1.36) or weekly (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.02-1.24) had higher odds of not having a low birth weight baby. The daily consumption of pulses and beans (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.02-1.36) increased the odds while weekly consumption of fish (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.70-0.89) decreased the odds of not having a LBW infant. Intake of iron-folic acid supplements during pregnancy increased birth weight by 6.46 g per month.
Improved intake of micronutrient-rich foods can increase birth weight.
研究印度婴儿中母亲饮食在决定低出生体重(LBW)方面的作用。
使用了全国家庭健康调查(2005 - 2006年)的数据。采用多变量回归分析来分析母亲饮食对婴儿出生体重的影响。
母亲每天饮用牛奶和食用凝乳的婴儿[优势比(OR),1.17;95%置信区间(CI),1.06 - 1.29];每天食用水果的婴儿(OR,1.20;95% CI,1.07 - 1.36)或每周食用水果的婴儿(OR,1.13;95% CI,1.02 - 1.24)生出非低出生体重婴儿的几率更高。每天食用豆类(OR,1.18;95% CI,1.02 - 1.36)会增加生出非低出生体重婴儿的几率,而每周食用鱼类(OR,0.79;95% CI,0.70 - 0.89)则会降低生出非低出生体重婴儿的几率。孕期摄入铁 - 叶酸补充剂可使出生体重每月增加6.46克。
增加富含微量营养素食物的摄入量可提高出生体重。
