Study Notes
Maternal Nutrition and Health
- Maternal malnutrition before and during pregnancy is a global issue with severe consequences for both mother and child, affecting their health, economic productivity, and the healthcare system.
- Pre-pregnancy underweight and insufficient gestational weight gain increase the risk of spontaneous interruption, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, and hypertensive disorders, resulting in poorer perinatal outcomes.
- Maternal pre-pregnancy obesity contributes to various poor maternal health outcomes, including gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preterm birth, pre-eclampsia, and eclampsia.
FOGSI's Vision and Objectives
- FOGSI's vision is to promote maternal and neonatal health, prevent non-communicable diseases, and work towards an anemia-free India.
- FOGSI aims to provide quality healthcare to women across all ages, focusing on their nutritional needs.
Importance of Nutrition in Women's Health
- Nutrition plays a vital role in women's health across all stages of life, including adolescence, reproductive age, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause.
- Essential components of diet, such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, are crucial for maintaining good health.
Vitamin A Supplementation in Pregnancy
- High doses of preformed vitamin A supplementation during pregnancy can cause miscarriage and birth defects affecting the CNS, craniofacial, cardiovascular, and thymus development.
- Women planning to conceive and pregnant women should avoid vitamin A supplementation above 700 mcg, as it may be teratogenic.
- Vitamin A from beta-carotene sources is safe and does not increase the risk of birth defects.
Iodine in Pregnancy
- Iodine is an essential nutrient for thyroid hormone synthesis, which regulates growth, development, and metabolism.
- Iodine deficiency during pregnancy impairs the normal development of the fetal CNS, particularly myelination.
- Salt iodization is the recommended strategy to control and eliminate iodine deficiency.
