Abstract

Background: Stunting is a form of nutritional deficiency associated with delayed of children growth and development. Stunting is a lack of linear development due to long-term malnutrition. This study aimed to examine factors associated with stunting in children under-five in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a case-control design. The study was conducted in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. A sample of 200 children under five consisting of 100 stunting children and 100 normal children was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was stunting. The independent variables were birth length, maternal education, family income, maternal nutritional intake, maternal middle-upper arm circumference (MUAC), child nutritional intake, and the number of children. The data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: The risk of stunting directly increased with child nutritional intake less than recommended nutritional allowance (b= 1.61; 95% CI= 0.86 to 2.36; p<0.001), birth length <48 cm (b= 2.13; 95% CI= 0.95 to 3.31; p<0.001), and low current maternal education (b= 1.96; 95% CI= 1.21 to 2.72; p<0.001). The risk of stunting was indirectly and significantly influenced by family income during gestation, the number of children, maternal height, maternal MUAC, family support, maternal education during gestation, and maternal nutrient intake during gestation.Conclusion: The risk of stunting directly increases with child nutritional intakes than recommended nutritional allowance, birth length <48 cm, and low current maternal education. The risk of stunting is indirectly and significantly influenced by family income during gestation, the number of children, maternal height, maternal MUAC, family support, maternal education during gestation, and maternal nutrient intake during gestation.Keywords: stunting, biopsikososial factors, gestationCorrespondence:

Abstract

Background: Cesarean section has a maternal mortality risk 4 times higher than those with normal birth. In Kediri, the incidence of cesarean section increased, i.e. 8.5% in 2012 to 15.3% in 2015. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the factors affecting cesarean section deliveries in Kediri.Subjects and Method: This was an observational analytical study with case control design. A total sample of 50 women giving birth with cesarean section and 50 normal birth. The population was all women giving birth by cesarean section in Kediri. A sampling technique was using a Fixed Sampling Disease. Data analysis used multiple logistic regression.Results: Maternal age <20 or ?35 years was lower the chances of having cesarean 0.83 times compared to mothers aged 20-35 years and was not statistically significant (OR = 0.83; 95% CI = 0:26 to 2.78, p = 0.757), Parity 1 and ?4 increase of 1.64 times more likely to undergo cesarean section than parity 2-3 and was not statistically significant (OR = 1.64; 95% CI = 0.60 to 4:58, p=0341). Less physical activity during pregnancy increases the likelihood of cesarean section 1:10 of times and was not statistically significant (OR = 1:10; CI 95% = 0:38 to 2.90, p = 0932). Mothers who experienced complications during labor increases the risk 12 times through cesarean section and was statistically significant (OR = 12; 95% CI = 3.56 to 41.81, p <0.001). Mothers who do their own request for delivery by cesarean section increases the likelihood 21 times through cesarean section and was statistically significant (OR = 21:24; 95% CI = 5.22 to 86.33, p <0.001).Conclusion: There is a positive correlation, very strong and statistically significant between the complications of labor and delivery at hisown request by cesarean section.Keywords: cesarean section, affecting factorsCorrespondence:

Abstract

Background: Autism, now increasingly referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a set of clinical phenotypes mirroring an early-onset neurodevelopmental disorder affecting social communication, imagination, and behavior. Children with ASD develop differently from other children. They also have challenges in interacting and communicating with others. These challenges can affect their development and learning. This study aimed to determine factors associated with the risk of autism in children under five.Subjects and Method: This was a case control study carried out at two special schools for children with development problem in Tangerang, Banten, from February to March 2018. A sample of 200 children aged 1-5 years was selected by fixed disease sampling, consisting of 50 children with autism and 150 normal children. The dependent variable was autism. The independent variables were family income, maternal education, maternal age, gestational stress, chemical exposure, nutritional intake, fever at pregnancy, growth and development impairment, and mumps-measles-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Data on immunization status, growth and development were taken from medical record. Data on the other variables were collected by questionnaire.The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: The risk of autism increased with chemical exposure (b= 2.86; 95%CI= 0.77 to 4.96; p= 0.007), gestational stress (b= 2.45; 95% CI= 0.60 to 4.30; p= 0.010), growth and development impairment (b= 1.69; 95% CI= -0.24 to 3.61; p= 0.086), and maternal age ?35 years (b= 2.82; 95% CI= 0.73 to 4.92; p= 0.008). Autism decreased with good nutritional intake (b= -2.08; 95%CI= -3.88 to -0.28; p= 0.023). The risk of autism was indirectly affected by fever at pregnancy, chemical exposure, family income, and maternal education. MMR vaccine did not affect the incidence of autism (b= 1.12; 95% CI= -2.11 to 4.36; p= 0.500).Conclusion: The risk of autism increases with chemical exposure, gestational stress, growth and development impairment, maternal age ?35 years, and decreases with good nutritional intake. MMR vaccine does not affect the incidence of autism in children.Keywords: autism, chemical exposure, growth and development impairment, MMR vaccine, children under fiveCorrespondence:
