Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) represents a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Factors related to maternal health, including gestational weight gain and nutritional condition, significantly influence fetal development and birth outcomes. This research examines the association between maternal weight gain, nutritional status, and LBW occurrence in mothers. Conducted as an analytical observational study with a case-control approach, it involved 56 participants: 28 mothers delivering LBW infants (case group) and 28 with normal-weight newborns (control group). Data were gathered from medical records and maternal health logs, then evaluated via Chi-Square testing at 95% confidence. Findings revealed a statistically significant link between maternal weight gain and LBW (p=0.016; OR=4.5), alongside maternal nutritional status and LBW (p=0.027; OR=4.231). These results emphasize the need for consistent antenatal monitoring of maternal weight and nutrition, coupled with sustained educational efforts, to reduce LBW prevalence.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in infants remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, contributing to impaired growth, cognitive development, and reduced immunity. Inappropriate complementary feeding (MPASI) practices, including limited implementation of environmentally friendly (zero-waste) approaches, may negatively affect infant nutritional status. Objective: To analyze the relationship between zero-waste complementary feeding practices and anemia among infants aged 6–12 months at Situjuh Primary Health Center, Lima Puluh Kota. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 75 infants selected through purposive sampling. Data on complementary feeding practices were collected using structured interviews, while anemia status was determined by measuring capillary blood hemoglobin levels. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Among the participants, 64% received zero-waste complementary feeding, and the prevalence of anemia was 32%. A significant association was found between zero-waste complementary feeding and anemia incidence (p = 0.015). Infants receiving environmentally friendly complementary feeding had a lower risk of anemia than those with conventional feeding practices (OR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.21–0.93). Conclusion: Zero-waste complementary feeding is associated with a reduced risk of anemia in infants. Promoting environmentally friendly complementary feeding practices may help prevent anemia while supporting optimal infant nutrition and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

A pregnant woman is considered to have anemia if her hemoglobin level is less than 11 grams/dl. This disease causes problems for the mother and the fetus, including infection, bleeding, birth defects, and possibly maternal and infant death. Purpose : The purpose of this research is to identify the variables linked to the prevalence of anemia in expectant mothers at the Community Health Center. Methods : This research is cross-sectional and analytical in nature. All pregnant women in the vicinity of the Bungus Community Health Center made up the study population, and 80 pregnant women were chosen as a sample using the incidental sampling technique. Questionnaires and a digital hemoglobin equipment were used to measure hemoglobin levels. The Chi-Square statistical test was used to conduct the analysis both univariately and bivariately. Result : According to the findings, anemia affected 66.2% of expectant mothers. Factors found to be associated with the incidence of anemia were education level (p = 0.00) and pregnancy spacing (p = 0.02), while knowledge level did not have a significant relationship (p = 0.073).  Implications : The study's findings indicate that while there is no appreciable relationship between knowledge level and anemia incidence, the incidence of anemia in pregnant women is connected with both pregnancy spacing and educational attainment. Conclusion : To prevent anemia, it is hoped that health professionals will take a more active role in educating expectant mothers about the value of proper diet and prenatal monitoring.
