ABSTRACT
Monitoring data from the Bangladesh Integrated Nutrition Project and new data collected for this purpose were analyzed to assess the effects of targeted project services, including supplementation of food, on malnourished pregnant women (women with a body mass index [BMI] of < or = 18.5 in early pregnancy). Monitoring data on 456 women--195 receiving food supplement and 261 not receiving supplement--were collected from 17 upazilas (sub-districts) in four districts of Bangladesh. The assessment found that, despite lower economic status, the women with low BMI receiving supplementation of food and intensified services were more likely to have adequate pregnancy-related weight gain than the more economically-advantaged women with higher BMI. Primigravidae receiving supplementation were also more likely to have adequate pregnancy-related weight gain than the better-off non-supplemented primigravidae (85.7% vs 51.9%, p = 0.044). The mean birth-weights of infants of the supplemented women with low BMI were comparable to those of the better-off, non-supplemented women.
