    IMPACT OF INTEGRATED CHILD DEVELOPMENT SERVICE ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF PREGNANT AND LACTATING MOTHERS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1999-09-09) ANGADI, ANUPAMA C.; NAIK, RAMA K.
    The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the nutritional status of pregnant and lactating mothers of ICDS beneficiaries. A total of 120 subjects of pregnant and lactating mothers in equal numbers afrom ICDS (experimental) and non-lCDS (control) groups were covered in Dharwad block during 1989-90. Nutritional status was evaluated in terms of dietary assessment, anthropometry, clinical and haemoglobin status. Morbidity pattern was assessed by personal interview. Nutrition knowledge was assessed by pre-tested structured schedule. The data thus collected was processed and subjected to appropriate statistical tests. All the anthropometric measurments of the experimental group of pregnant and lactating mothers were found to be significantly higher than the control. However, when compared with ICMR standard, all the subjects exhibited lower values. Both pregnant and lactating mothers exhibited nutrient adequacy below the RDA. However, per cent adequacy of nutrients was higher in experimental groups. Number of subjectsin good clinical status (43.4% and 73,3%) were more in experimental group of pregnant and lactating mothers and percentage of anaemic subjects were more in control group [66,7% and 53.3%) than experimental group (53.3% and 6,7%). Number of subjects with normal haemoglobin level (11 g/100 ml) in control group were exactly half (3,3% and 6.7%) of the experimental group (6.7% and 13.3%),respectively. Percentage of subjects with high nutrition knowledge index v;as higher (26,7% and 20%) in experimental group than control group (16,7% and 13,3%) • Further, number of pregnancies of subjects was negetavely correlated with-mean weight and mid upper arnw circumference of subjects. A positive correlation was observed between iron and haemoglobin and weight with kilocalories and nutrition knowledge of subjects. In several, coverage of programme was found to better in experimental groups as compared to control group subjects.
