Background: Among women of reproductive age (15-44 years), the burden of reproductive ill-health is far greater than the disease burden from tuberculosis, respiratory infections, motor vehicle injuries, homicide and violence.

Abstract Views :337 |
PDF Views:0
Study variables: grades of anaemia, type of work and socio economic status of the working women
Statistical analysis: Proportion, Chi square test.
Observations and discussion: High prevalence of anaemia was observed in women working in administrative section 23 (82.10%) followed by sweepers 75 (73.5%) and nurses 96 (68.5%). The difference was found to be statistically significant (x2=30.9, d.f =3, p=0.00000089). It was observed that anaemia was more prevalent in lower class (83.63%) as compared to upper class (53.33%).The difference was found to be statistically significant( x2 = 21.1, d.f.=2,p=0.0000262).
Recommendations: To conduct prophylactic programs for the prevention of anaemia and nutritional education in the community as a whole and working women to bring out behaviour change.

Material and method: The study is retrospective in nature and was conducted in Chalmeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar (A.P.) The data was collected in a pre drawn and pre tested proforma from June 2010 to May 2011. etc. Statistical analysis: Simple proportion and chi square test was applied as and when required.
Observations and Discussion: Prevalence of hypertension was more in upper class 26.66%, and as socioeconomic status decreases prevalence of hypertension decreases. The difference was found to be statistically significant (x2= 25.56, d.f = 2, p=0.0000028).
Conclusion and recommendations: Statistically significant association was observed between socioeconomic status and Hypertension. Modifiable factors played an important role in causing hypertension along with some biological factors like obesity, diabetes etc. The impact of these factors can be minimized by changing their life style like spend at least 30 minutes exercise every day, reduction in body weight etc.
