Micronutrient Intake and Fundal Height Determine Birth Weight

The birth weight (BW) are utilized as indicators of the healthy and term newborns. Factor that affects the weight of a newborn are micronutrient intake and fundal height. Folic acid and iron (Fe) were associated with newborn birth weight. Fundal height in centimeters (cm) is the same as the gestational age of the week, the fundal height that is not in accordance with the gestational age is leading to stunted fetal growth. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between intake of folic acid, iron (Fe) and fundal height with newborn birth weight. This research method was an analytic observational using a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study were 114 pregnant women living in Yogyakarta. Statistical test results proved a significant relationship between the intake of folic acid and iron (Fe) with the newborn birth weight (p < 0.05). There was a significant relationship between the fundal height with the newborn birth weight (p < 0.05). The concludes of this study, pregnant women with adequate folic acid intake, adequate iron intake and normal fundal height tended to give birth newborns with normal birth weight

Purchasing Power, Fruits Vegetables Consumption, Nutrition Status Among Elementary School Student

Food purchasing power is usually defined as a household\u27s economic ability to obtain food which is determined by measuring the income allocated for food purchase, the price of food consumed, and the number of family members. More than 50% of the sub-districts in South Central Timor are vulnerable to food consumption due to their low purchasing power, thus causing low fruits and vegetables consumption. To analyze the correlation between purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption, with nutrition status of elementary school students. Analytic observational using a cross sectional design. Sample size of 108 students was achieved using simple random sampling method. Independent variables are purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption. Dependent variable is nutrition status. Fruits and vegetables consumption data was collected using food frequency, purchasing power data was collected using questionnaires, and nutrition status was collected by calculating IMT/U. The statistics tests used were chi square test. The mean number of fruits and vegetables consumption of the elementary students was 0,36±0,483 and the mean number of purchasing power was 2,80±0,405. Bivariate study test results show a significant correlation between purchasing power and nutrition status (p=0,039) and a significant correlation between fruits and vegetables consumption and nutrition status (p=0,000). There is a correlation between purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption, and nutrition status in elementary school students

Exclusive Breastfeeding, Diarrhea, and Their Association with Motor Development in Children in 1000 Days First Life

Background: The right nutrition during 1,000 day window has a profound impact on a child’s ability to grow, learn, and thriveand eventually a lasting effect on a country’s health and prosperity. Nutrition during pregnancy and the first two years of a child’s life provides the essential building blocks for brain development, healthy growth, and a strong immune system. Diarrhea disease is the second leading cause of death in children under five years old. It is both preventable and treatable. Each year diarrhea kills around 525 000 children under five worldwide. Exclusive breastfeeding reduces infant mortality due to common childhood illnesses such as diarrhea or pneumonia, and helps for a quicker recovery during illness. Breast milk promotes sensory and cognitive development, and protects the infant against infectious and chronic diseases. Little is known about the effect of exclusive breastfeeding and diarrhea on the neurodevelopment of children under five in Indonesia. This study aimed to estimate the effect of exclusive breastfeeding and diarrhea on the neuro­development of children under two years in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, in January 2018. A sample of 138 children under two years (≥ 6-24 months) along with their mothers was selected for this study. The dependent variable was motor development. The independent variables were exclusive breastfeeding and diarrhea. Motor development was measured by development pre-screening questionnaire (KPSP). The other variables were measured by questionnaire and health record. The data were analyzed by logistic regression. Results: The likelihood of normal motor development in children under two years increased with exclusive breastfeeding, and it was statistically significant (OR= 2.17; 95% CI= 1.01 to 4.65; p= 0.036). The likelihood of normal motor development decreased with the incidence of diarrhea (OR= 0.79; 95% CI= 0.33 to 1.09; p= 0.596) but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding is beneficial to increase the likelihood of normal motor development in children under two years. Keywords: motor development, exclusive breastfeeding, diarrhe

Perception Factors, Intentions and Attitudes with Market Community Participation to Prevent Occupational Diseases

Effectiveness of Ergonomic Chair Against Musculoskeletal Disorders in Female Batik Workers of Sragen District

The majority of female batik workers uses non-ergonomic chairs (dingklik) that pose risks of musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to design an ergonomic chair and evaluate its effectiveness in reducing musculoskeletal disorders among the workers. This is a quasi-experimental study (using one group pre and post-test design) on 50 female batik workers selected by quota sampling. Musculoskeletal disorders were measured among the samples before and after the use of the designed ergonomic chair which they were asked to use for two months. T-test, ANCOVA, Wilcoxon test, McNemar test and Chi Square test were used for the analysis. The study found statistical significant differences of risk factor against musculoskeletal disorders among the workers before and after their use of the designed ergonomic chair (p=0.000); and of musculoskeletal disorders before and after using the ergonomic chair (p= 0,035). Body Mass Index (BMI) was identified as a confounding factor, and statistical significant difference of musculoskeletal disorders were also found among the workers with <25 and >25 BMI even before and after using the ergonomic chair (p=0.033 and p=0.015 respectively). By ANCOVA statistical test, after controlling BMI, another statistical difference of musculoskeletal disorders was also identified before and after using the ergonomic chair (p=0.033). It is concluded that the designed ergonomic chair is effective to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders

Pengaruh Pemberian Suplemen Selenium Dan Iodium Terhadap Status Gizi, Skor IQ Dan Jumlah Tanda Khas Kretin Pada Anak Sekolah Dasar

Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) and Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is still a public health problem in school-aged children living in endemic area. This study was aimed to investigate some biochemical parameters, nutritional status and IQ score in children in endemic area of Boyolali Regency, Central Java. Before and after quasi experimental study design was implemented. A number of 115 school-aged children (9-12 years) with iodine deficiency, PEM problem and attributed to 6-10 sign of cretinism were selected as study sample. Sampling was conducted by using random sampling procedure. The Group of treatment were selenium supplement (n=34), iodine supplement (n=35), selenium and iodine (n=18) and placebo (n=28). The study found that selenium, iodine, selenium and iodine supplement intervention were significantly reduce the stunted (p=0.04, r=0.587) and underweight (p=0.01, r=0.87). Selenium and iodine were able to improved IQ score of those who were deficient with IQ score under 20 (14.8% student) to IQ score 20-35. The children with very severe deficiency of iodine and selenium (17.4%) and IQ score under 20 could be corrected by iodine supplement and IQ score increased to 20-35. A reduction of the cretinism attributes were found among the children after intervention (from 6-11 sign to 5-10 sign). Anomaly of erythrocytes and leucocytes were found to be associated with severity of stunted and underweight, number of attributes and deficiency level of selenium and iodine

Risiko Inisiasi Menyusu Dini dan Praktek Asi Eksklusif terhadap Kejadian Stunting pada Anak 6-24 Bulan (Early Breastfeeding Initiation And Exclusive Breastfeeding AS Risk Factors Of Stunting Children 6-24 Months-old)

Some of causes of stunting are the deferment of early breastfeeding initiation and the administration of the non-exclusive breastfeeding. The objective of this study was to elaborate relationship of early breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding administration history to the stunting. This sudy used the observational analytical research method with the cross-sectional design. Its subjects were 33 stunting and 77 non-stunting children aged 6-24 months in Boyolali Regency. Data was analyzed by using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis. The stunting children who got the early breastfeeding initiation were 14, and those who did not get the early breastfeeding initiation were 19. The stunting children who got the exclusive breastfeeding were 4 and those who did not get the exclusive breastfeeding were 29. Early breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding had a significant correlation with the stunting as indicated by the p-value <0.05. The children who did not get the early breastfeeding initiation have the possibility of 3.69 times higher to suffer from stunting than those who got the early breastfeeding initiation. In addition, the children who did not get the exclusive breastfeeding have the possibility of 9.5 times higher to suffer from stunting than those who got the exclusive breastfeeding. Therefore, nutrition education to the gestational mothers on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding administration is required
