Longitudinal Survey of Maternal and Infant Nutrition in Maharashtra (LoSMINM)
About Project Objectives Methodology
The study aims to generate evidence on a spectrum of nutrition-related changes from pre-conception through pregnancy until the offspring are 24 months by following a cohort of pregnant women in rural areas in the Raigarh district. Specific objectives are given below:
- To evaluate the relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI with the pattern of gestational weight gain (GWG), gestational age and birth weight.
- To study the association of GWG with maternal diseases (anaemia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational hypertension).
- To study the effect of adverse health and nutritional status during pregnancy on miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, preterm, survival and growth of children up to 2 years of age.
- To study the dietary and health-seeking behaviours during different stages of pregnancy.
- To study the factors associated with antepartum depression and postpartum depression and understand the association of antepartum depression with postpartum depression.
