Factors associated with preterm delivery in women admitted to hospitals in Khorramabad: A case control study

Abstract: Background: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and a major public health concern. This study aimed to determine factors influencing preterm labor in women referring to hospitals in Khorramabad in 2009-10. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 524 mothers (262 subjects in each group) referring to hospitals in Khorramabad (west of Iran) in 2009-10, selected through consecutive sampling. A questionnaire was completed through interviews for each newborn after being examined. Collected data, were analyzed by using the logistic regression and odds ratios and a significant level of 5%. The logistic regression model sensitivity in detecting cases of preterm labor was 86%. Results: The frequency of preterm labor in mothers under 20 was 5.83 times higher than that in mothers in the age range of 20-35 (CI=2.99, 11.37, and P < 0.001). The odds ratios for preterm birth were highest for multiple pregnancies and preterm delivery in mothers with a history of obstetric complications as preterm delivery, low birth weight, stillbirth and abortion is seen more than that in other mothers. Conclusion: These findings will be useful for medical staff and public health workers in attempting to identification and management of risk factors and unfavorable social environment and provide early intervention to reduce the risk of preterm delivery.

Determination of the causes of tendency toward red meat and meat products in the west of Iran.

Abstract: Department of Social Medicine, Medical School, Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, Khorramabad, Iran. Background: Although meat constitutes an important part of many consumers’ diet, its consumption has become a quiet con-troversial issue. Several factors are effective on tendency to red meat consumption. The 2007’s report of the world Cancer Re-search Fund makes the recommendation to limit the consumption of red meat to less than 500 g per week. The aim of this study is to determine meat and meat products consumption and causes of tendency to red meat among people of Khorramabad city, Iran. Methods: This cross- sectional study was carried out on 300 adults (178 women and 122 men; aged 19-70 years) of Khor-ramabad city, Iran. Red meat and processed meat intake (from a FFQ), demographic and causes of tendencies to red meat consumption (from a self-reported questionnaire) were evaluated. Statistical methods included independent t- test and one-way ANOVA. Results: Consumption of red meat and meat products was 531.8 ± 543.5 g/w and 132.5 ± 251.1 g/w, respectively. The most important factors of tendencies toward red meat consumption were delectability, palatability, accessibility, cultural and tra-ditional beliefs, and lack of food diversity in Lorestan province, animal husbandry, nomadic life, and hospitality. Red meat con-sumption was more common among men and lower in the income levels of $300. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that red meat consumption in adult people of the west of Iran was high. Since consumption of meat and meat products may create health concerns for people, it is necessary for policymakers to adopt effective strategies to advocate the use of fish and poultry.
