Abstract

Background: Mid-upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) during pregnancy is used to determine Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED). Pregnant women with CED are at risk of giving birth with Low Birth Weight (LBW), short, and wasting babies. Data from the West Sumatra Health Office show that the number of women suffering from continues to increase. The percentage of LBW per 1000 live births is also high and has not decreased significantly. Objectives: To determine the relationship between MUAC and newborn anthropometry outcomes in West Sumatera, Indonesia. Methods: This research used secondary data from the VDPM Cohort Study with 184 pairs of mothers and babies. The variables taken in this study were MUAC, Birth Weight (BWG), Birth Body Length (BLG), Birth Head Circumference (HDC), and Small for Gestational Age (SGA). Data analysis used descriptive analysis, Spearman Correlation, and Wilcoxon tests. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between MUAC and the anthropometry of newborn babies (p-value<0.05, for all comparisons). The greater the MUAC, the greater the anthropometry outcomes. However, the correlation was weak. There was a significant relationship between MUAC and SGA (p-value≤0.001). Babies with appropriate gestational age (AGA) had normal MUAC status and women who had CED status most likely gave birth to a baby with an SGA status. Conclusions: The MUAC status of pregnant women determines newborn anthropometry outcomes. Therefore, mothers can prepare for pregnancy by maintaining their health and nutritional status. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) constitute significant causes of global mortality, with their prevalence continually rising each year. The development of nutrigenetic science and gene-based nutrition services plays a vital role in mitigating NCDs, despite the lack of awareness among many individuals.  Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between education levels and the level of interest in gene-based nutrition services among Indonesians.  Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted online using the Qualtrics Survey during May and June 2023 in DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and DI Yogyakarta. The cluster sampling technique was employed. Structured questionnaires were designed, covering sociodemographic information and interest levels, and were validated and tested for reliability. Data analysis involved chi-square testing.  Results: Indonesians exhibited a substantial interest in gene-based nutrition services (92.3%). Most participants (89.7%) expressed willingness to recommend nutrigenetic testing to their families. Additionally, 97.5% of participants agreed that gene-based nutrition services offer numerous benefits (97.5%), and a significant proportion was open to paying more for such services (62.4%). A large percentage of Indonesians demonstrated interest in undergoing nutrigenetic testing to ascertain disease susceptibility (95.9%). However, no significant association was observed between education levels and the interest in gene-based nutrition services in Indonesia (p=0.134, OR: 0.551, CI=95% (0.27-1.11)).  Conclusions: The study findings suggest that the educational background of Indonesians does not significantly impact their interest in gene-based nutrition services. However, a majority of Indonesians display interest and recognize the potential benefits of gene-based nutrition services, particularly in the context of preventing NCDs.
