Birthweight As a Neonatal Health Indicator

Öz

Neonatal health is an important issue to consider in the context of public health. One of the indicators used to evaluate neonatal health is birthweight. It refers to the weight of the neonate at the time of birth. There are several factors that affect birthweight. There factors are genetic, medical, environmental, socio-economic, and demographic factors. It is important from a public health perspective to focus on preventable factors that could mitigate or eliminate the negative effects of these factors on neonatal health. Low or high birthweight could have an impact not only in the neonatal period but also in childhood. This study evaluates socio-economic and demographic determinants of birthweight, and reviews the effects of both low and high birthweight on neonatal health based on previous researches.

Yenidoğan Sağlık Göstergesi Olarak Doğum Kilosu

Öz

Yenidoğan sağlığı, halk sağlığı bağlamında üzerinde durulması gereken konulardan biridir. Yenidoğan sağlığını değerlendirmek amacıyla kullanılan göstergelerden biri de doğum kilosudur. Doğum kilosu, yenidoğanın doğum anındaki ağırlığını ifade etmektedir. Doğum kilosunu etkileyen çeşitli faktörler bulunmaktadır. Bu faktörler genetik, tıbbi, çevresel, sosyoekonomik ve demografik olarak ifade edilmektedir. Söz konusu faktörlerden doğum kilosunun yenidoğan sağlığına olumsuz etkilerini hafifletmek veya ortadan kaldırmak adına önlenebilir olanlarına odaklanmak halk sağlığı açısından önemlidir. Doğum kilosunun düşük veya yüksek olması yenidoğan sağlığı üzerinde kısa ve uzun vadede olumsuz etkileri olabilmektedir. Bu çalışma doğum kilosunun sosyoekonomik ve demografik belirleyicilerini ele almaktadır. Öte yandan hem düşük hem de yüksek doğum kilosunun yenidoğan sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerini önceki araştırmalar ışığında değerlendirmektedir.
