Mentl helth during pregnncy is of prticulr interest given the high burden of violence mong Peruvin women. There is lck of evidence for the ssocition between migrine nd PTSD in lower income countries.

Eliminte problems in pregnncy Improve current tretments Eliminte future problems for mother nd child 2,922 prticipnts of the Pregnncy Outcomes, Mternl nd Infnt Study Cohort between Februry 2012 nd Mrch 2014. Migrine ws chrcterized by the Interntionl Clssifiction of Hedche Disorders (ICHD)-III bet criteri. Depression ws mesured using the Spnish-lnguge Ptient Helth Questionnire-9 (PHQ-9) PTSD ws ssessed using the PTSD Checklist-Civilin Version. Multivrible logistic regression nlyses were performed to estimte odds rtios (OR) nd 95 confidence intervls (CI) djusted for confounders. 33.5 of pregnnt women fulfilled criteri for ny migrine (migrine 12.5; probble migrine 21.0) nd 37.4 fulfilled PTSD criteri (Tble 1). Women with ny migrine hd 1.97-fold incresed odds of PTSD (95 CI: 1.64-2.37) s compred to those without migrine (Tble 2).

The comorbidity of depression further incresed the odds of PTSD in ll migrine ctegories s compred to women without either condition (Tble 3). Tble 1: Socio-demogrphic nd reproductive chrcteristics of the study popultion ccording to types of migrine in Lim, Peru Chrcteristics Discussion All prticipnts (N= 2,922) No migrine (N = 1,943) We found n ssocition between migrine nd PTSD, even fter djusting for nteprtum depression. Our findings extend the body of literture on the incresed risk of PTSD in those with migrine to include those with probble migrine nd pregnnt women. Tken together, these findings support the need for further reserch on the ssocition between migrine nd PTSD, including in pregnnt women, s well s the need for reserch evluting potentil tretment implictions of this comorbidity.

Peru, middle-income country, is one of the countries experiencing n epidemiologic trnsition with incresing burden of non-communicble disese risk fctors. We sought to exmine the prevlence of GDM nd ssocited risk fctors in cohort of pregnnt women in Lim, Peru.

Willims 1, Bizu Gelye 1 1 Deprtment of Epidemiology, Hrvrd T.H. Chn School of Public Helth, Boston, MA, USA; 2 Addis Continentl Institute of Public Helth, Addis Abb, Ethiopi The Body Mss Index (BMI) nd Wist Circumference (WC) re widely used nthropometric mesures for identifying crdiovsculr disese risk globlly. Recently, two new nthropometric mesures hve been proposed s better lterntives to BMI nd WC: the A Body Shpe Index (ABSI) nd Body Roundness Index (BRI). Both ABSI nd BRI re clculted re bsed on WC nd height. We sought to exmine the extent to which the trditionl (BMI nd WC) nd new mesures (ABSI nd BRI) of diposity cn predict metbolic syndrome (MetS) nd its components mong working dults in Ethiopi. The World Orgniztion STEPwise pproch ws used to collect sociodemogrphic dt, nthropometric mesurements, nd blood smples. Fsting blood glucose (FBG) nd lipid concentrtions were mesured using stndrd pproches. MetS ws defined ccording to the Interntionl Dibetes Federtion (IDF) criteri. Spermn s rnk correltion, receiver operting chrcteristic (ROC) curves, nd logistic regressions were used to determine the ssocitions between MetS nd four nthropometric indices: BMI, WC, ABSI, nd BRI. Among men, BRI ws most strongly ssocited with triglycerides [TG] (r=0.514), BMI ws strongly ssocited with systolic blood pressure[sbp] (r = 0.401) while WC ws strongly ssocited with distolic blood pressure [DBP] (r = 0.419). Among women, BRI ws strongly ssocited with TG (r = 0.478) nd DBP (r = 0.434). WC ws strongly ssocited with SBP (r = 0.443) nd FBG (r = 0.306). Review of the ROC curves shows tht BRI ws the best predictor for MetS (re under curve [AUC] = 0.94) mong men nd women (AUC = 0.87). BRI ws lso the best predictor of Mets components including elevted TG (AUC=0.77 nd 0.74,), elevted FBG (AUC=0.61 nd 0.63), nd elevted SBP (AUC=0.70 nd AUC=0.74) mong men nd women, respectively.

BMI [0.88 (0.85-0.90)] ----- WC [0.95 (0.94-0.96)] ----- ABSI [0.76 (0.72-0.79)] ----- BRI [0.94 (0.92-0.95)] Conclusion Among the four mesures of diposity, BRI is most strongly nd consistently ssocited with MetS nd MetS components mong both men nd women. Even though BMI is the most common mesure of diposity, it is limited in distinguishing between excess dipose tissue nd muscle mss. Findings from our study underscore the utility of using new nd trditionl diposity mesures in identifying crdiovsculr disese risk in resource-limited settings.
