determinants of inappropriate complementary feeding practices in young children in india secondary analysis of national Family Health survey 2005 2006
Maternal and Child Nutrition, 2012Co-Authors: Archana Patel, Yamini Pusdeka, Neetu Adhoniya, Jitesh Orka, Kingsley E Agho, Michael J DibleyAbstract:In India, poor feeding practices in early childhood contribute to the burden of malnutrition as well as infant and child mortality. This paper aims to use the newly developed World Health Organization (WHO) infant feeding indicators to determine the prevalence of complementary feeding indicators among children of 6-23 months of age and to identify the determinants of inappropriate complementary feeding practices in India. The study data on 15,028 last-born children aged 6-23 months was obtained from the National Family Health Survey 2005-2006. Inappropriate complementary feeding indicators were examined against a set of child, parental, household, Health service and community level characteristics. The prevalence of timely introduction of complementary feeding among infants aged 6-8 months was 55%. Among children aged 6-23 months, minimum dietary diversity rate was 15.2%, minimum meal frequency 41.5% and minimum acceptable diet 9.2%. Children in northern and western geographical regions of India had higher odds for inappropriate complementary feeding indicators than in other geographical regions. Richest households were less likely to delay introduction of complementary foods than other households. Other determinants of not meeting minimum dietary diversity and minimum acceptable diet were: no maternal education, lower maternal Body Mass Index (BMI) (<18.5 kg/m(2)), lower wealth index, less frequent (<7) antenatal clinic visits, lack of post-natal visits and poor exposure to media. A very low proportion of children aged 6-23 months in India received adequate complementary foods as measured by the WHO indicators.

infant and young child feeding indicators and determinants of poor feeding practices in india secondary data analysis of national Family Health survey 2005 06
Food and Nutrition Bulletin, 2010Co-Authors: Archana Patel, Neetu Adhoniya, Kingsley E Agho, Sandhya Khadse, Upul Senarath, Michael J DibleyAbstract:Background. In India poor feeding practices in early childhood contribute to the burden of malnutrition and infant and child mortality. Objective. To estimate infant and young child feeding indicators and determinants of selected feeding practices in India. Methods. The sample consisted of 20108 children aged 0 to 23 months from the National Family Health Survey India 2005-06. Selected indicators were examined against a set of variables using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results. Only 23.5% of mothers initiated breastfeeding within the first hour after birth 99.2% had ever breastfed their infant 89.8% were currently breastfeeding and 14.8% were currently bottle-feeding. Among infants under 6 months of age 46.4% were exclusively breastfed and 56.7% of those aged 6 to 9 months received complementary foods. The risk factors for not exclusively breastfeeding were higher household wealth index quintiles (OR for richest = 2.03) delivery in a Health facility (OR = 1.35) and living in the Northern region. Higher numbers of antenatal care visits were associated with increased rates of exclusive breastfeeding (OR for > 7 antenatal visits = 0.58). The rates of timely initiation of breastfeeding were higher among women who were better educated (OR for secondary education or above = 0.79) were working (OR = 0.79) made more antenatal clinic visits (OR for > 7 antenatal visits = 0.48) and were exposed to the radio (OR = 0.76). The rates were lower in women who were delivered by cesarean section (OR = 2.52). The risk factors for bottle-feeding included cesarean delivery (OR = 1.44) higher household wealth index quintiles (OR = 3.06) working by the mother (OR=1.29) higher maternal education level (OR=1.32) urban residence (OR=1.46) and absence of postnatal examination (OR=1.24). The rates of timely complementary feeding were higher for mothers who had more antenatal visits (OR=0.57) and for those who watched television (OR=0.75). Conclusions. Revitalization of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in Health facilities is recommended. Targeted interventions may be necessary to improve infant feeding practices in mothers who reside in urban areas are more educated and are from wealthier households.

heterogeneity in adult anthropometry by socioeconomic factors indian national Family Health survey 2006 and 2016
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2019Co-Authors: Praveen Kumar Pathak, Niharika Tripathi, S V SubramanianAbstract:Recent evidence suggests nonconstant nature of dispersion in adult women’s body mass index (BMI) across sociodemographic groups. The overall variances in BMI and height are also shown to have substantially changed over time. We modeled complex variation in adults’ anthropometry—BMI and height—by wealth and education, and assessed their differences over time in India. Data from a total of 768,130 women and 180,691 men from the Indian National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2006 and 2016 were used for the analysis. The average association between wealth and education with anthropometry was assessed from linear regression models assuming constant variance. Individual heterogeneity was modeled to obtain separate variances in anthropometry for each wealth quintile and education level. All analyses were stratified by survey year and sex. On average, the positive socioeconomic gradient in adult’s BMI and height persisted over time with slight attenuation. The residual variance in BMI ranged from 10.1 to 14.9 (7.2–11.3) by education level and 6.1 to 17.4 (5.0–13.0) by household wealth for women (men) in 2006, and they increased over time for the lower socioeconomic groups but remained the same or decreased for the higher socioeconomic groups. No significant pattern was observed for variation in height for both genders. We found potential reversal in the socioeconomic patterning in BMI variability in India as suggested by the increasing dispersion among the least educated and poorest populations. For a comprehensive understanding of nutrition transition in developing countries, it is necessary to assess the changes in means and variances of anthropometry in tandem.

effects of individual and proximate educational context on intimate partner violence a population based study of women in india
American Journal of Public Health, 2008Co-Authors: Leland K Ackerson, Elizabeth M Barbeau, Ichiro Kawachi, S V SubramanianAbstract:Objectives. We examined the role of women’s education and proximate educational context on intimate partner violence (IPV).Methods. We examined a sample of 83627 married women aged 15 to 49 years from the 1998 to 1999 Indian National Family Health Survey. We used multilevel multiple logistic regression modeling to estimate the relative effect of women’s and their husband’s levels of education, spousal education differential, and community-level literacy on women’s risk of recent and lifetime IPV.Results. In adjusted models, odds of recent IPV among women without any education were 5.61 times (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.53, 8.92) those of college-educated women, and odds among wives of uneducated men were 1.84 times (95% CI=1.44, 2.35) those of wives of college-educated men. Women with more education than their husbands were more likely than those with educational parity to report recent IPV (odds ratio [OR]=1.18; 95% CI=1.05, 1.33). The results were similar for lifetime IPV. After we controlled for ...

caste based social inequalities and childhood anemia in india results from the national Family Health survey nfhs 2005 2006
BMC Public Health, 2015Co-Authors: Ajay Jagla, Kashif ShafiqueAbstract:Background Caste is one of the traditional measures of social segregation in India and differs from other indicators as it is both, endogamous and hereditary. Evidence suggests that belonging to lower castes exposes one to social inequalities and affects Health adversely. We examined the association of caste with childhood anemia in India and explored the effect modifying role of adult education and household wealth.
