Determinants of work capacity (predicted VO_2max) in non-pregnant women of reproductive age living in rural India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The negative impact of anemia on work capacity has been studied extensively in male and female workers; however, the simultaneous contributions of confounding variables such as physical activity, as well as other behavioral and sociodemographic characteristics have not been considered. The purpose of this study was to examine cross-sectionally the multivariable correlates of work capacity in non-pregnant women (n = 330) living in rural India.

Methods

The Reduction in Anemia through Normative Innovations (RANI) Project is a norms-based, clustered randomized controlled trial to reduce anemia among women (15-49 years) living in Odisha, India between 2018 and 2021.
