However, for a small but significant . number, the size of which varies from one society to another and even within groups in any given society, this first stage of their life's journey results in what Pasamanick has referred to a.s a continuum of re·productive casualty. This can range from death at any stage in this journey or immediately after it to a mild defect. In fact, when Pasamanick used his well known phrase, he was not confining it to the minority with obvious defects but rather making the point that at somewhere in the reproductive process, the majority may suffer slight damage which while never manifesting as an obvious defect, may subtly impair .potential. This study concerns itself with the narrower meaning of the continuum of reproductive casualty - perinatal mortality and morbidity. · Also included in the. study is some data on low birth weight and pre-term birth in so far as these are major factors contributing to perinatal mortality and morbidity.

It presents the results of a longitudinal study on infant feeding in Ireland. In our opinion it is a most valuable source of information to all those concerned with promoting sound infant feeding practices. The Health Education Bureau clearly identifies sound nutritional practices as a major contribution to the health and well-being of society. In 1982, the Health Education Bureau adopted a Life Cycle Model of health education as a framework for the future development of its programmes. This model identifies the key issues, phases and needs in health and illness throughout the life cycle, from birth to death and reflects the general aim of the Bureau Thu, 01 Jul 1982 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/251581 1982-07-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10147/249848 Title: Folic acid and the prevention of neural tube defects: a summary guide for health professionals Authors: Health Education Authority Description: The Health Education Authority is undertaking a major folic acid campaign, over the next two and a half years, funded by the Department of Health. This is in response to the report of a UK Expert Advisory Group which recommended that to reduce the risk of first-time occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs) all women, prior to conception and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, should increase their folic acid and folate intake by 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) a day Mon, 01 Jan 1996 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/249848 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z
