Reproductive age group women have high prevalence. The objective of the present study is to determine the cost-effective intervention for the reduction of anemia among women of reproductive age group.

Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were used as search engines.Results: The result of the review shows that the most cost-effective method for the prevention of anemia among women is iron fortification of food, iron supplementation, community-based health promotion of healthy nutrition. Women empowerment is the best tool for the implementation of all the above method for the prevention of anemia. Conclusion: Community-based intervention is the most effective method for reducing maternal anemia. It includes health promotion and women empowerment.

Of late, the disease is on its rise due to environmental changes as well as lifestyle disorders, affecting 4%–26% of adolescent and young women all over the globe. Initially, this condition is asymptomatic in young girls, progressing toward menstrual irregularities, obesity, hyperandrogenism in late puberty and eventually developing insulin resistance, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and infertility around middle age. Aims: Early diagnosis is necessary for early intervention, including lifestyle modifications to prevent the immediate and chronic consequences of PCOS. Materials and Methods: Our study design was of a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey, conducted from September 2017 to March 2018 to investigate the prevalence of PCOS and its association with body composition variables. The study population comprised randomly chosen students (age group 18–20 years) of all discipline. The data were collected from the students using structured questionnaire with Rotterdam's criteria, and anthropometric measurements were taken using standard techniques. Results: Approximately 28% of the college students were found to be at high risk of developing PCOS. More than 85% of the PCOS cases had oligomenorrhea, 19% were hirsute, 41% had acne, 63% had emotional disturbance, and 22% with a positive family history. Furthermore, the body mass index of the PCOS students demonstrated a trend of Grade 1 obesity than the normal females of the same age group. Conclusion: The present study is an attempt to create increased awareness among the students for early and accurate diagnosis, which is the primary step in managing PCOS.","PeriodicalId":32484,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"28 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43393693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 712 rural women, comprising of 40 women (aged 40–55 years) with SIM, were surveyed, by inverse cluster sampling with proportional to population size. The aim was to study SIM and its determinants; menopause anthropometric data, menopause symptoms, and associated psychosocial symptoms. The data was analyzed using bivariate and multivariate techniques. Results: Around 6.4% of Hindu women had SIM, followed by Muslim (6.2%) and others (1.1%). SIM was significantly high in BMI group <25. The differences of SIM in regularity of menstruation were significant. Similar results were observed in sexual problem, menstrual flow, blood spotting after intercourse, blood spotting between periods, pain in periods, physical and mental exhaustion, heart discomfort, sleep problem, irritability, and dryness of the vagina. The sexual activity significantly hampered after SIM, further, unadjusted Odds Ratios (ORs) were not in line with adjusted OR. With regularity of menstruation problem, the SIM increases significantly, as indicated by adjusted and unadjusted ORs, the similar results were seen by menstrual flow and blood spotting after intercourse. The SIM by adjusted and unadjusted ORs was similar in other determinants. The Logistic regression model has been calibrated for sensitivity and specificity above 90% and accuracy as high as 97.8%. The modulated probabilities have been provided for the users of the model. Conclusion: The results of the bivariate analysis of surgical menopause by its covariates and regression model constructed are valuable for health-care providers, as reference for diagnosis, and to pacify patients for consequences of the prognosis.","PeriodicalId":32484,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"33 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46877933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
