Regression analysis of the effect of full and partial lactation on post-partum amenorrhoea in lower middle class Indian females.
This study presents a simple regression analysis of the impact of full and partial breast feeding on post-partum amenorrhoea (PPA) in lower middle class Indian women. The study has been done on a sample of hospital based data collected in 1992. The analysis shows a highly significant correlation. Further, the impact of lactation on PPA was notably less in case with partial breast feeding as compared to those with full breast feeding.
