RESUMO

To explore the possible determinants of duration of breastfeeding in Kuwait, 234 mothers completed a questionnaire concerning the feeding of their youngest infant. The questionnaire addressed the factors that contributed to their willingness to continue breastfeeding and enquired about the factors leading to their decision to end it. Only 26.5% of the mothers had continued breastfeeding for 6 months or more. Separate family housing, higher maternal age, late initiation of breastfeeding, being employed without the feasibility to breastfeed at work, breastfeeding information given after rather than before birth, and maternal and infant sickness were all significant contributors influencing early cessation. Father's support was a significant factor that encouraged the practice. In conclusion, preventive strategies are recommended for boosting breastfeeding, with special emphasis on the factors linked to early cessation, aiming at full implementation of the WHO global public health recommendations for successful breastfeeding in Kuwait.

RESUMO

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على المحددات المحتملة لمدة الإرضاع الطبيعي من الثدي في الكويت لدى 234 من الأمهات اللاتي استكملن استبيانات حول إطعام أصغر أطفالهن سنا. وقد تناولت الاستبيانات العوامل التي تسهم في الترحيب باستمرار الرضاعة الطبيعية من الثدي، كما تضمنت تساؤلات حول العوامل التي أدت لاتخاذهن قرارا بإنهائها. واتضح للباحثين أن 26.5 % فقط من الأمهات قد واصلن الرضاعة الطبيعية من الثدي لمدة وصلت أو تجاوزت ستة أشهر، وأن العوامل التي يعتد بها إحصائيا من حيث المساهمة في التأثر على الإيقاف الباكر للرضاعة هي:السكن في مسكن منفصل عن بقية الأسرة، وارتفاع سن الأم، والبدء المتأخر بالرضاع من الثدي، وكون الأم موظفة مع عدم وجود تسهيلات للرضاعة الطبيعية من الثدي أثناء العمل، وتلقي معلومات حول الإرضاع الطبيعي من الثدي بعد الولادة وليس قبلها، ومرض الأم أو الرضيع. كما أن دعم الآباء كان عاما يعتد به في تشجيع ممارسة الرضاعة الطبيعية من الثدي. واستنتج الباحثون ضرورة التوصية باسراتيجيات وقائية لتعزيز الرضاعة الطبيعية من الثدي، مع تأكيد خاص على العوامل التي ترتبط بالإيقاف المبكر للرضاعة، تنفيذا للتوصيات التي أصدرتها منظمة الصحة العالمية في سياق الصحة العامة العالمية لإنجاح الإرضاع الطبيعي من الثدي في الكويت

RÉSUMÉ Afin d'étudier les déterminants possibles de la durée de l'allaitement maternel au Koweït, 234 mèresont rempli un questionnaire sur l'alimentation de leur plus jeune enfant. Le questionnaire portait sur les facteurscontribuant à leur volonté de poursuivre l'allaitement et sur les facteurs qui les ont conduit à leur décisiond'y mettre fin. Seules 26,5 % des mères ont allaité au sein pendant au moins 6 mois. Les facteurs contribuantsignificativement à un arrêt précoce de l'allaitement au sein étaient les suivants : une résidence familiale séparée,un âge maternel élevé, une initiative tardive de l'allaitement, un emploi sans possibilité d'allaiter sur le lieu detravail, une communication sur l'allaitement faite après la naissance plutôt qu'avant, et une affection chez lamère et/ou chez l'enfant. Le soutien du père était un facteur important qui favorisait la pratique de l'allaitement.En conclusion, des stratégies préventives sont recommandées afin de promouvoir l'allaitement au sein tout enprenant particulièrement en compte les facteurs liés à un arrêt précoce de l'allaitement, et de viser une mise enoeuvre intégrale des recommandations mondiales de l'OMS en santé publique pour la réussite de l'allaitementmaternel au Koweït.

RESUMO

Lead accumulation in 398 permanent teeth of Kuwaiti subjects, aged between 11 and 74 years (mean age=25+/-8 years) was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. A significant correlation was found between dentin lead levels and age. The mean dentin lead concentration was significantly higher in males than in females (6.8+/-4.7 and 5.6+/-4.6, respectively, p=0.015). A formula was established to calculate age from lead levels in teeth (Age=1.2 x dentin Pb+17.6). The proposed formula was applied to a validation group of 90 Kuwaiti subjects (45 males and 45 females, aged between 13 and 58 years). The standard error of age estimation, applying the proposed formula, was +/-5.8 years with R square=52.3%. The mean difference between the true and calculated ages was 1.3+/-4.8 years. The coefficient of variation was 43%. The proposed formula is merely applicable to Kuwaiti population, and can be of a significant value in forensic practice whenever examining human skeletal remains, particularly of Kuwaiti war victims. Other formulas may well be established via similar studies on dentin lead levels on various populations.
