global phenomenon, its consequences will not be evenly distributed. Scientists
agree that developing countries and small island nations will be the first and hardest
hit. Warmer temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns and increasing humidity affect
the transmission of diseases by vectors like mosquitoes. They are quite sensitive to
changes in temperature and rainfall and are among the first organisms to extend
their range when environmental conditions become favourable Thus, higher temperatures could influence the incidence of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever,
yellow fever and several types of encephalitis. Cold temperatures are often the
limiting factor in mosquito survival, so any increase in minimum winter temperatures would likely extend mosquito ranges into temperate regions or higher altitudes
where they do not survive. However, there is an urgent need to mitigate the ill effect
of climate change on human health. The present era is providing women a high rate
of success in all fields, but yet women face problems in terms of nutrition health
during the period of pregnancy. The period of pregnancy is one where women of all
ages suffer from acute nutritional health problems and health abnormalities due to
variations in a few physiological parameters like blood pressure (BP), blood glucose Level (BGL) and weight. The nutritional health problems and health abnormalities faced by pregnant women can be counterpart by consuming traditional
health foods. These traditional health foods are rich in nutrients and hence help
largely in reducing problems and abnormalities in health faced by women during
pregnancy. However, women of this era require a system/medical practitioner to
provide the necessary advice regarding traditional health foods that can be consumed during pregnancy, and this very system is the nutritional health monitoring
system that provides required advice and information about traditional health foods
necessary for pregnant women, to reduce the problems and abnormalities in health
that occur during pregnancy. Further, availability of abundant resources to pregnant
women is not an important criteria but how efficiently these resources are utilized is
mainly required. Henceforth, here entrepreneurship and skill development among
pregnant women is required for the improving efficiency of utilisation and better
health maintenance. There is a growing need for entrepreneurship and skill
development among pregnant women to decide upon the need for mobile nutritional monitoring system that provides healthy nutritional advice and traditional
health foods for efficient health maintenance during pregnancy for women and this
must become corporate social responsibility for community development.
1.1 Objectives and Methodology
Objectives of the study are to know infectious diseases and chronic diseases, to
understand the five major health consequences, to ascertain food security and
nutritional problems of pregnant women and strategies to prevent malnutrition. The
respondents were selected at random and used personal interview method. The study
