The incidence of pregnancy wastage is high among poor women. Though the aetiology of spontaneous abortion is multifactorial, nutritional deficiency is considered to be an important contributory factor.
A case-control study was conducted to assess the relationship between maternal vitamin status and spontaneous abortion.
The incidence of anaemia (15%), and riboflavin (84%) and folate deficiency (24.5%) were similar among the cases and controls. Vitamin A levels were higher in the study group compared to those in controls.
The results suggest that various nutrient deficiencies have no correlation with the occurrence of spontaneous abortion. The role of increased vitamin A levels needs to be studied further.
贫困女性中妊娠丢失的发生率较高。尽管自然流产的病因是多因素的，但营养缺乏被认为是一个重要的促成因素。
进行了一项病例对照研究，以评估母亲维生素状况与自然流产之间的关系。
病例组和对照组中贫血（15%）、核黄素缺乏（84%）和叶酸缺乏（24.5%）的发生率相似。研究组的维生素A水平高于对照组。
结果表明，各种营养素缺乏与自然流产的发生无关。维生素A水平升高的作用需要进一步研究。
