The nutritional status of pregnant women is a very important aspect of maternal and antenatal care, as malnutrition is detrimental to both the mother and the foetus. This study tries to assess the scale of the double burden of malnutrition in a rural setting in India.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 337 pregnant women to assess the nutritional status of pregnant women using Body Mass Index and dietary intake.
Overall, 21.4% of women were underweight, 14.8% were overweight, 0.9% were obese, and 62.9% of women were in the normal weight range based on Body Mass Index. Family type, dietary habits, and community practices were found to be significant determinants of nutritional status among pregnant women.
Nearly a third of the pregnant women were found to be malnourished, indicating the significant impact of the double burden of malnutrition. Lifestyle changes such as dietary improvement need to be emphasised to enhance maternal nutritional status during antenatal care.
孕妇的营养状况是孕产妇和产前护理的一个非常重要的方面，因为营养不良对母亲和胎儿都有害。本研究试图评估印度农村地区营养不良双重负担的规模。
对337名孕妇进行了一项横断面研究，以使用体重指数和饮食摄入量评估孕妇的营养状况。
总体而言，根据体重指数，21.4%的女性体重过轻，14.8%超重，0.9%肥胖，62.9%的女性体重在正常范围内。家庭类型、饮食习惯和社区习俗被发现是孕妇营养状况的重要决定因素。
近三分之一的孕妇被发现营养不良，这表明营养不良双重负担的重大影响。需要强调饮食改善等生活方式的改变，以在产前护理期间提高孕产妇的营养状况。
