  1. Nutrition 526 - 2010Framing Maternal & Infant Nutrition

  2. Preconception – Conception – Gestation – Birth - Infancy Sexual maturity - Childhood

  3. Social-Ecological Model for Determinants of Access to Resources & Nutrition Behaviors Structures, Policies, Systems Local, state, federal policies and laws Institutions Rules, regulations, policies & informal structures Community Social Networks, Norms, Standards Interpersonal Family, peers, social networks, associations Individual Knowledge, attitudes, beliefs

  4. Individual - Pregnancy • Physiology and Psychology of Pregnancy • Maternal Preconceptual status • Inter-generational programming • Diet in pregnancy: energy/weight gain, macro & micronutrients • Behaviors that impact nutritional status • Substances: alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, drugs • Physical activity • Oral health • Pregnancy intendedness • Stage of development: adolescence • High risk situations: GDM, PIH,

  5. Intrapersonal/Community • Social and cultural environments • Support from friends and family • Health and nutrition care providers

  6. Institutional • Hospital breastfeeding & formula policies • Child Care policies • School policies for pregnant and parenting teens • Worksite lactation policies

  7. Policy & Environment • Nutrition Assistance Programs for pregnancy, lactation and early childhood. • Insurance policies for lactation support • Parental leave policies

  8. Maternal-infant dyad

  9. A Public Health Approach to Maternal and Infant Health • Assessment • Policy Development • Assurance: Surveillance and monitoring progress towards goals

  10. Assessment • Pregnancy population characteristics • Maternal health indicators • Infant health indicators

  11. In 2007 • 4,317,119 births - highest number ever registered for the US • general fertility rate increased by 1 percent in 2007, to 69.5 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, the highest level since 1990 National Vital Statistics Reports. 2009; 57:12

  12. In 2008 Births and birth rate were ~ 2% less than 2007. National Vital Statistics Reports. 2010; 58:16

  13. In 2008, birth rates for teenagers Dropped 2% National Vital Statistics Reports. 2010; 58:16

  14. Percentage of all births to unmarried women by age of mother, 1980 and 2007 In 2007, 40% of all US births were to unmarried women National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics System.

  15. Percentage of Parents Who Were Married or Cohabiting at Birth of First Child, by Race/Ethnicity and Sex MMWR; September 15, 2006 / 55(36);998

  16. National Vital Statistics Reports. 2010; 58:16

  17. Population Indicators & Trends for Maternal Health • Pre-conceptual indicators • Weight gain • Diabetes in pregnancy • Pre-eclampsia • Cesarean delivery • Maternal death

  19. Per birth certificate – includes all diabetes in pregnancy

  21. African American and White Women Who Died of Pregnancy Complications,* United States * Annual number of deaths during pregnancy or within 42 days after delivery, per 100,000 live births. † The apparent increase in the number of maternal deaths between 1998 and 1999 is the result of changes in how maternal deaths are classified and coded. Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics.

  22. Population Indicators of Infant Health • Infant mortality • Birthweight • Gestational age

  23. Infant Mortality • Infant mortality rate – Deaths of infants aged under 1 year per 1,000 or 100,000 live births. The infant mortality rate is the sum of the neonatal and postneonatal mortality rates. • Neonatal mortality rate – Deaths of infants aged 0-27 days per 1,000 live births. The neonatal mortality rate is the sum of the early neonatal and late neonatal mortality rates • Postneonatal mortality rate – Deaths to infants aged 28 days-1 year per 1,000 live births.

  25. Infant Mortality • Sensitive indicator of community health because reflects influences by various social factors • E.g. environment (housing, sanitation, safe food and water) • Historically decrease in infant mortality associated with improvements in living conditions and health services

International Journal of Health Services, Volume 32, Number 4, Pages 629–656, 2002 • “In summary, the rates of low birth weight and infant deaths from all causes were lower in those countries with more voter turnout, more left votes, more left members of parliament, more years of social democratic government, more women in government, a stronger social pact and various aspects of the welfare state, and low income inequality, as measured in a variety of ways.”

  35. Policy approach • Access to food • Individual maternal-infant dyad • Community based • Public health and health services • Knowledge and beliefs • individual • Family, community • Public health and health services

  36. Determinants of infant feeding practices • Maternal employment • Health sector activities • Commercial availability and promotion of processed milks and cereals • Urbanization vs.. modernization • Poverty and maternal nutrition • Perceived insufficiency of breast milk

  37. History • Child welfare movements became noticeable in industrialized countries (U.S. and Western Europe • “Political, economic, and humanitarian motivations all converged to reduce the large wastage of child life”

  38. History • World War 1 and 2 • Recruits unfit for service • “weaklings”

  39. History • Child welfare movements directed toward general hygiene for disease prevention, dietary improvements, and antepartum care • Infant Stations: to provide clean milk, instruct new mothers on child/infant care, encourage breastfeed • Innovative approach in 1908 establishment of Division of Child Hygiene in NYC

  40. Child Hygiene Bureau NYC • Tracked from register of live births • Home nursing visits • Education on infant care • Milk stations • “there were 1200 fewer deaths when comparable to previous summer”

  41. Policy Development: Poor Pregnancy Outcomes are Costly • Medicaid finances 40% of annual births in the US and pays for 50% of hospital stays for premature and LBW. • Medicaid-funded deliveries represented 45.6% of births in WA in 2003. • The care cost for children with one of 17 common birth defects is $8 billion per year in the US.
