: Globally, 40% of pregnant women are affected by anaemia. Anaemia, low haemoglobin level in the bloodstream, has many negative effects on pregnancy. The World Health Organisation recommends supplementation with iron and folic acid to prevent the incidence of anaemia in pregnancy. In Ghana, iron and folic acid supplementation has been through Ante Natal Clinics. Despite this intervention, Anaemia in Pregnancy prevalence in Bekwai has been above 37% for three years, higher than the national average of 25%. This study found out the compliance level and determining factors among ANC clients. This facility-based quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in two sub-districts using multistage sampling. Data was collected using structured questionnaire. Data entered into SPSS was exported to Stata version for analysis. Demographic and obstetric data were analysed into frequencies and percentages. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify factors affecting compliance. Compliance was low (38.8%), despite high knowledge (90.3%). Gravidity (p-value 0.025 AOR= 5.88, 95% CI= 2.214-15.542) and level of knowledge (P-Value 0.01, AOR 2.89, 95%CI= 0.592-12.10) positively affected compliance. It was recommended that health education at ANC be improved, and adherence partners introduced to help prevent forgetfulness.

: Breastfeeding provides many short-and long-term benefits for both the child and the mother. However, little is known whether longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding early in life is associated with better athletic performance in childhood and adolescence. The present study aimed to investigate the association between breastfeeding and athletic performance . Methods: Three electronic databases (PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT, SCOPUS) were searched. The search and selection of articles followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Outcomes evaluated were breastfeeding duration and athletic performance parameters such as cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, flexibility, agility and speed. The results were double screened using predetermined criteria; extracted data and assessed the risk of bias; synthesized the evidence. Results: A total of 462 titles and abstracts were identified, and after full-text screening, seven articles were included. In five studies that exclusive breastfeeding was positively associated
