Abstract

Background: Micronutrients are necessary for proper growth and development of the human body, though required in small amounts. Dietary intake of these micronutrients by lactating women is essential for their own health as well as children's overall growth and development. objective of present study is to assess the adequacy of dietary B-group vitamins intake during lactation and to find out the factors associated with their inadequate intake.

Design and methods: It was a analysis of data from prospective cohort study for 10 months carried out among 340 Scheduled Tribes mothers in 10 clusters in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Data collection was done using a 24 h dietary recall questionnaire. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results: All the mothers (n = 340) were not having adequate intake of Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pyridoxine, Pantothenic acid, Biotin and Folic acid. Methyl cobalamin intake was inadequate in 37.5% mothers (n = 136). The mean intake of Vitamin B12 was 40.98 + 42.8 (SD) µg/day. Age at marriage, location and parity were significantly associated with inadequate intake of Vitamin B12.

Conclusions: The current diet pattern of mothers of vulnerable groups might affect the growth and development of the infant. We strongly recommend for supplementation of B-group vitamins to pregnant and lactating women in India.

印度南部部落哺乳期妇女摄入的 B 族维生素不足的程度令人担忧。
背景:微量营养素是人体正常生长和发育所必需的,尽管需要量很小。本研究的目的是评估哺乳期妇女从膳食中摄入的 B 族维生素是否充足,并找出与摄入不足有关的因素:本研究对印度安得拉邦贡图尔地区 10 个集群的 340 名在册部落母亲进行了为期 10 个月的前瞻性队列研究数据分析。数据收集采用 24 小时饮食回忆问卷调查法。P值小于0.05为具有统计学意义:所有母亲(n = 340)的硫胺素、核黄素、烟酸、吡哆醇、泛酸、生物素和叶酸摄入量不足。37.5%的母亲(136 人)甲基钴胺素摄入不足。维生素 B12 的平均摄入量为 40.98 + 42.8(标清)微克/天。结婚年龄、地点和胎次与维生素 B12 摄入量不足有明显关系:弱势群体母亲目前的饮食模式可能会影响婴儿的生长发育。我们强烈建议印度孕妇和哺乳期妇女补充 B 族维生素。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
