2. Healthy People 2020 Maternal, Infant and Child Health Why do we care about maternal and infant nutritional health? What are the determinants of maternal and infant health? What are some key indicators of maternal and infant nutritional health: preconceptionally,in the fetus & infant, during pregnancy?

3. A Life Course Framework: T2 – E2 Timeline: today’s exposures influence tomorrow’s health Timing: health trajectories are particularly affected during critical periods Environment: the broader community environment strongly affects the capacity to be healthy Equity: inequality in health reflects more than genetics and personal choice

5. A Public Health Approach to Maternal and Infant Health Assessment Policy Development Assurance: Surveillance and monitoring progress towards goals

6. Assessment Pregnancy population characteristics Maternal health indicators Infant health indicators

17. Population Indicators of Infant Health Infant mortality Birthweight Gestational age

18. Infant Mortality Infant mortality rate – Deaths of infants aged under 1 year per 1,000 or 100,000 live births. The infant mortality rate is the sum of the neonatal and postneonatal mortality rates. Neonatal mortality rate – Deaths of infants aged 0-27 days per 1,000 live births. The neonatal mortality rate is the sum of the early neonatal and late neonatal mortality rates Postneonatal mortality rate – Deaths to infants aged 28 days-1 year per 1,000 live births.
