Marriage is entry in to reproductive life in Indian Society. It has been observed that states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh experiencing early age at marriage before reaching age 18 years. Early age at marriage leads to early child birth and repeated deliveries.With the above concept in view an attempt is made in this study to know the influence of early marriage among currently married Adolescent women and their reproductive loss and reproductive health problems in EAG states. Further to know the influence of socio economic variables on reproductive risk factors by using NFHS-3 data.
This presentation explains about trends in Maternal Mortality in India during the period 1911-2013 and also future estimates of decline in MMR in selected states to achieve UN SDG goals. Life time risk has been calculated and states have been ranked. By fitting polynomial regression equation, the MMR has been projected for the next decade and estimated time required to decline less than 90.
Abstract—This study was aimed to find out the maternal factors and fetal outcomes associated with anemia in 3rd Trimester pregnancy. A hospital based cross sectional descriptive type of observational study was carried out in 15 to 49 years who had undergone delivery at SP Medical College Bikaner. Information about the demographic profile, ANC factors and foetal outcome data were collected. To find out associating factors appropriate test of significances were used. The magnitude of anemia 91.3% (995/1090) was found high in third trimester of pregnancy. Caste, dietary – habit, Education, Occupation, Socio-economic status, ANC Visit, Iron and folic acid supplementation were associated (P<0.05)>0.05) with anemia. Although IUGR, premature births and still births were observed respectively 2.56 times (95% CI: 0.615 to 10.697 ), 1.3 times (95% CI: 0.723 to 2.351 ) and 0.651 times (95% CI: 0.286 to 1.481 ) in anemic mothers but it was not found significant with anemia status. But significantly more (35.5%) low-birth weight babies were born to anemic mothers as compared to ( 14.7% )among non- anemic mothers i.e. 3.181 times (Odds ratio) higher LBW babies in anemic mothers. Anemia in pregnancy may be reduce by proper Iron and folic acid supplementation which can be improved through IEC and providing proper ANC services.

In this research work, the association between Intimate partner violence (IPV) and risk of sexual health problems in three selected states: Bihar, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh has been examined by collecting data from NFHS-3. Acceptance of IPV has been measured by asking the respondent (Currently married women) whether, in their opinion, a husband was justified in hitting or beating his wife in the following situation: if she goes out without telling him, does not cook food properly etc. Women acceptance of IPV with the background characteristics has been examined by applying Logit regression. Results indicates that women belong to poor socio economic strata, illiterate husband, non-Hindu accepts IPV than their counter part. Risk of sexual health problems among women experiencing IPV range between 1.5 to 3.1 times higher than women without IPV. Women in Bihar and Andhra Pradesh were three times more at risk of getting genital ulcer due to IPV. It has been found that women with IPV were at risk of experiencing sexual health problems than women without IPV.
Health status and the bmi is the major concern. For example, an active man of 70 kg requires about 2700 to 3000 calories per day depending upon the intensity of his physical activity. On an average, a healthy man needs about 2500 calories to maintain his weight. Men older than 50 years of age need 2000 to 2800 calories depending on how active they are. Though it differs depending on age and activity level, adult males generally require 2,000-3000 calories per day to maintain weight while adult females need around 1,600-2,400 according to the U.S Department of Health.
In every society in the world, certain level of participation of male in reproductive health exists It depends upon many socio-cultural and value related aspects. In India, situation is different may be because of traditional and cultural aspects. This study is based on empirical field based data, published in Communicator.
Similar to Influence of Early Marriage on Reproductive Health risk among Adolescent women in EAG States in India: Evidences from NFHS-3 (20)
Districts of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh have been classified according to Nutritional Status of children and Influencing factors by using Cluster analysis (K-mean clustering) and ranked by TOPSIS method. Identified Poor, Middle and Best districts according to nutritional status of children and influencing factors by using NFHS-5 data
Inadequate nutrition is a problem in many states in India and more so in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Nutritional status of Under 5 year children is measured through three standard indices as height-for-age (stunting), weight-for-height (wasting) and weight-for age (underweight). And these indices expressed as Z-scores of reference population can be assessed nutritional status of children. The nutritional status of children strongly depends upon their mother’s health condition. This paper aims to find out the nutritional status of children (stunting, wasting, underweight and anemic) and the influence of risk factors in the districts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. District level data were collected from NFHS-5 and by using cluster analysis method, districts were classified into poor, medium and better nutritional status districts and by using TOPSIS method these districts were ranked. Considering each cluster, the risk factors such as mothers anemic status, BMI below normal and obesity of mother and breast feeding practices influencing child nutritional status has been examined
Application of Multiple Correspondence Analysis to identify the risk factors ...PRAKASAM C P
Multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) is used for the analysis of categorical variables encompassing more than two categories. MCA is a part of a group of descriptive method (viz: clustering, factor analysis and principal component analysis) reveal patterning in complex data base and reveals variation of variables with respect to the categories for selected dimensions with graphical presentation. This research paper aims to identify the specific risk factors of Partner violence by using multiple correspondence analyses. To achieve the objectives data were collected from NFHS3 for the Bihar and Chhattisgarh states where prevalence of partner violence is high. A set of risk factors such as Age of the currently married women, place of living, marital duration, wealth index, husband drinks alcohol for women exposed for ever emotional violence has been identified. MCA has been applied for the set of Bihar and Chhattisgarh data. Examining the model summary in Chhattisgarh, first and second dimension accounting for 14.28 percent and in Bihar it was observed 14.24 percent. Discrimination Measures revealed age of the respondent and marital duration contributes highest variation in Chhattisgarh and in Bihar Marital duration exhibits higher variation than Age group. Bi-plots revels that in Chhattisgarh younger age of mother lower marital duration and in Bihar higher age of mother, longer marital duration contribute more variation towards dimension2 in identifying emotional violence

This paper examines the utilization of antenatal care and out come of pregnancy and delivery complications (Reproductive risk) among currently married women in Andhra Pradesh, India. Data for this study were collected from DLHS-RCH-3 for Andhra Pradesh. Pregnancy outcome has been collected for all deliveries from the currently married women and the utilisation of ANC, health seeing behavior, pregnancy problems during and problems during delivery which have been considered as reproductive risk and analysed for the last child data. Reproductive history of 19825 deliveries for Andhra Pradesh form data set. Analysis has been carried out in three stages. Initially Pregnancy loss and its ANC and treatment seeking behavior have been analysed. At the second stage pregnancy complications and delivery complications for the last delivery in relation to outcome has been analysed for Andhra Pradesh data. At the third stage interrelation between Pregnancy out come and reproductive risk has been analysed by using logistic regression. Further influence of background variables on reproductive loss and treatment seeking behavior has been analysed. The results revealed that women experience still birth in Andhra Pradesh found to be around 2.9. Further results revealed that women who had utilized antenatal care services found to have less risk in delivering last child than other. Maternal age and husband occupation played significant influence in utilization of health care services leading to safe delivery in these two selected states.

12. Correlation Analysis:
Correlation analysis shows that Background Variables
and Reproductive Health variables are significantly
correlation with Age at marriage in all these EAG
states.
Reproductive loss (RL) variables could not show
significant relation with Age at marriage in Bihar.
Anemia level is an indication of mother’s nutritional
status which is a composite indicator of repeated
pregnancy, child loss , poverty and other biological
and physical factors.
Anemia is significantly, positively correlated with age
at marriage in Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand only.
13. Risk Ratio
To understand the risk of reproductive health variables
among Early marriage/Late married adolescent
women, Relative risk ratio has been calculated:
Relative Risk (RR):
Incidence of RH problem among adolescent married women experienced EAM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incidence of RH problem among adolescent married women who are not experienced EAM
RR equal to “one” indicates that the incidence of Reproductive health problems are same
among adolescent women who experienced EAM with non experienced women ie:
women who had LAM

Adolescent women in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh
and Jharkhand experienced child loss more than twice

women with late age at marriage (Relative risk >2).
Early married adolescent women in Bihar found to be
at high risk for all the three reproductive morbidity
variables.
20. Conclusions:
From the large survey data analysis it can be concluded
that adolescent women who had married less than 18
years are at risk of reproductive loss in all EAG states .
States like Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand
adolescent women who had early age at marriage are at
high risk with reproductive morbidity.

Hence it is necessary to improve maternal and health
services in all these EAG states, especially in
Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar states.
To prevent child loss due to early marriage, adolescent
women should be educated through electronic media.
