    (Taylor & Francis, 2016) Oloko, O. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Roberts, O.; Arowolo, A. O.
    Antenatal care (ANC) is a specialised pattern of care organized for pregnant women with the goal of maintaining good health and promoting safe delivery of healthy infants. It is an indispensable part of effective maternity care services. This study identified the factors responsible for absenteeism from ANC follow-up visits. It was a hospital-based prospective cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at a faith based secondary healthcare facility in Ibadan, Nigeria. Relevant data were retrieved using interviewer administered structured questionnaires and antenatal health record cards. The major reasons identified for absenteeism were delay in receiving hospital services due to long queues at service points and understaffing. The pregnant women aged 35 years and above were the most likely to miss the visits. Therefore, there is the need for hospital administrators and health care givers to make the services patient-friendly

    (College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, 2010-01) Ogunbode, A. M.; Ladipo, M. M. A.; Ajayi, I. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Adebusoye, L. A.; Fatiregun, A. A
    The objective was to determine the prevalence of obesity and associated risk factors among women in a Nigerian Out-Patient clinic. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was administered on women at the General Outpatients’ Department (G. O. P.D) of the University College Hospital (U.C.H), Ibadan. The prevalence of obesity was 41.8%. Age was significantly associated with obesity, p=0.001. Majority of the obese participants (68.9%) in comparison to non-obese (46.4%) were traders, p=0.001. Many of the obese respondents were married (82.6%) in comparison to non-obese respondents who were widows (67.4%), p=0.001. Many of the obese respondents were multiparous (44.3%) having more than 4 children in comparison to the non-obese respondents with the highest proportion of women with no children (36.1%), p=0.001. Fewer of the obese women had no formal education (28.1%) and no primary education (26.4%), in comparison to the non-obese with 32.2% having secondary education and 27% having secondary education and 27% having post-secondary education, p=0.015. Majority of the obese women (62.3%) were pre-menopausal in comparison to the non-obese with 79.0% being pre-menopausal, p=0.001. Multivariate analysis done using logistic regression showed that risk factors for obesity included age group 50-59 years (odds Ratio 15.914, 95% CI=1.389-182.26, p=0.026), and being menopausal (Odds Ratio 1.452.95% CI=0.587-3.594, p=0.017). Having greater than five children was also found to be a risk factor for obesity (OR=3.321, 95%CI=1.236-8.921,p=0.017). The prevalence of obesity among Nigerian women remains high. There is a need to plan and implement measures for control.
