This paper is an attempt to understand the role of maternal nutrition and reproductive morbidity on waiting time to next conception among rural women in northern Karnataka, India. The study is based on the births that occurred from July 2003 to June 2004 in 54 villages and on a series of follow-up visits to the women who bore these births. The education of the woman and husband, occupation of the husband, religion/caste, age at effective marriage of the woman, age of the woman at child birth and order of birth, haemoglobin level, body mass index and waist-hip ratio and reported RTI/STI symptoms are all significantly related to waiting time to next conception. Based on the data there does not seem to be a relationship between nutritional status and reproductive morbidity in the incidence of spontaneous abortion (safe and unsafe) and still births. Overall, maternal nutrition and reproductive morbidity factors appear to only have a marginal effect on waiting time to next conception in the area of study.
