Having a healthy baby is the wish of all families, but with the development of society, the environment has changed, so that the proportion of children with congenital disabilities in recent decades has increased significantly, so what should be done to get a healthy baby?
data
According to the investigation
The average of 33 babies in the world
One baby had birth defects
China's birth defects every year
The number is as high as 900,000
About every 30 seconds a defect is born
At present, the recognized causes of birth defects are mainly genetic factors (abnormalities of chromosomes, single genes and genomes), non-genetic factors (maternal diseases, infections, lifestyles and drugs, etc.), teratogens (harmful physical and chemical factors, etc.).
Among them, maternal factors and teratogens can be prevented. The mainland is one of the countries with a high incidence of birth defects in the world, and the total incidence of birth defects in the country is about 11 ‰~ 14 ‰, and it shows an upward trend year by year.
In 2007, the top 5 birth defect diseases in China were congenital heart disease, polydactyle (toe), total cleft lip, neural tube defect and congenital hydrocephalus, with an incidence rate of 25. 1/10,000, 16. 3/10,000, 13. 1/10,000, 7. 2/million and 6. 8/million.
Folic acid should be ingested at least 0.4 mg per day before pregnancy, and the frequency of neural tube defects (NTDs, including spina bifida and related diseases) can be further reduced.
