Zinc and magnesium nutriture amongst pregnant mothers of urban slum communities in Delhi: a pilot study.

In India limited data is available on the nutriture of zinc and magnesium among pregnant mothers. Hence a pilot study was conducted to assess the status of these elements among pregnant mothers from urban slum communities of Delhi India. A total of 829 pregnant mothers attending the antenatal clinic Rural Health Training Center Najafgarh New Delhi were included. Overall study shows that 55.5% and 4.6% of pregnant mothers had deficiency of zinc and magnesium respectively as revealed by serum level. It is noted that a decline in serum levels of zinc and magnesium was observed with increase in gestational age. Thus these results indicate the need of longitudinal studies with larger sample size in different parts of the country to assess the magnitude of element deficiencies among pregnant mothers.
