Why is it important?
Ghana as a lower middle-income country needs more cost-effective scientific approaches to improving the health of the populace, especially in the area of maternal and child health. Notwithstanding, many studies in Ghana have related maternal sociodemographic and biometric indices with maternal cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and hypertensive disorders, with little or no information available on maternal sociodemographic and prepregnancy biometric indices with neonatal birthweight
Perspectives
Maternal sociodemographic characteristics are known to forecast valuable information concerning pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, early identification of anomalies of maternal sociodemographic factors could provide inexpensive amenable solutions in the prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes
