Zinc and iron deficiencies among infants aged under 6 months may be related with nutrient store at birth. This study aimed to investigate the association between zinc and iron stores at birth with maternal nutritional status and intakes during pregnancy. 117 pregnant women were enrolled at the end of second trimester and followed until delivery. Clinical data during pregnancy, including pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and at parturition were collected from medical record. Zinc and iron intakes were estimated from a food frequency questionnaire. Serum zinc and ferritin were determined in maternal blood at enrollment and cord blood. Mean cord blood zinc and ferritin were 10.8 ± 2.6 µmol/L and 176 ± 75.6 µg/L, respectively. Cord blood zinc was associated with pre-pregnancy BMI (adj. ß 0.150; p = 0.023) and serum zinc (adj. ß 0.115; p = 0.023). Cord blood ferritin was associated with pre-pregnancy BMI (adj. ß −5.231; p = 0.009). Cord blood zinc and ferritin were significantly higher among those having vaginal delivery compared to cesarean delivery (adj. ß 1.376; p = 0.007 and 32.959; p = 0.028, respectively). Maternal nutritional status and mode of delivery were significantly associated with zinc and iron stores at birth. Nutrition during preconception and pregnancy should be ensured to build adequate stores of nutrients for infants.

Abstract: Maternal nutritional status is very important for the outcomes of pregnancy. The best indicator for measuring the nutritional status is Body Mass Index (BMI). Abnormal BMI in early pregnancy is associated with various complications for the mother as well as the baby. This study was aimed to obtain the relationship between BMI in early pregnancy and maternal and neonatal outcomes. This was a retrospective analytical study with a cross sectional study. The results showed that there was a siginificant relationship between BMI in early pregnancy and blood pressure (p=0.049), but there was no significant relationship between BMI in early pregnancy and mode of delivery (p=0.067), birth (p=0.100), infant mortality (0.377), and APGAR score (p=0.100). Conclusion: Pregnant woman with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 had a risk of hypertension in pregnancy and a sectio caesarea in delivery; and the baby showed a tendency of low birth weight, risk to death, and asphyxia.Keywords: BMI, pregnancy and maternal neonatal outcomes Abstrak: Status gizi ibu sangat penting terhadap luaran kehamilan. Indikator untuk mengukur status gizi ialah Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT). Ibu dengan IMT awal kehamilan yang tidak dalam batas normal berkaitan dengan berbagai komplikasi baik terhadap ibu maupun bayi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara IMT awal kehamilan dengan luaran maternal neonatal. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik-retrospektif dengan desain potong lintang. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa IMT awal kehamilan berhubungan bermakna dengan tekanan darah (p=0,049), tetapi tidak ditemukan hubungan bermakna antara IMT awal kehamilan dengan cara persalinan (p=0,069), berat badan lahir bayi (p=1,000), kematian bayi (p=0,377), dan APGAR skor (p=1,000). Simpulan: Ibu dengan IMT≥25 kg/m2 berisiko mengalami hipertensi dalam kehamilan, cenderung menjalani persalinan dengan seksio sesarea, dan bayinya cenderung memiliki berat badan lahir rendah, mengalami kematian, dan asfiksia. Kata kunci: IMT, kehamilan dan luaran maternal neonatal.

Stunting in Indonesia was the fifth ranks in the world, influenced by many factors, some of which are the height of the parents and the nutritional status of the mother during pregnancy. The purpose of this research was to determine the correlation of parent height characteristics and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy based on Upper Arm Circumference (UAC) with stunting incidence in toddlers aged 24-59 months in the working area of the Berbek Public Health Center Nganjuk Regency. The research design used correlation analytic research design with observational method with case control approach. The independent variables consisted of parental height characteristics and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy based on UAC, and the dependent variable was stunting incidence. The population was 2266 respondents of under-five children aged 24-59 months. The sampling technique used quota sampling consisted 96 respondents. The instrument used height measurement tool, the Mother's Child Health book and the Public Health Center Weigh Activity Report, 2011. This research was conducted from 22 July to 22 August 2019 in three selected villages namely Sumberurip, Sumberwindu and Semare villages. Data analysis used chi-square test α (0.05). The results showed that almost all mothers and fathers had normal height characteristics, almost all respondents had the nutritional status of the mother during normal pregnancy. Analysis of height, circumference of the mother, and nutritional status of the mother during pregnancy based on Upper Arm Circumference (UAC) was obtained ρ value = 0.036; 0,000 and 0,000 <α 0,05. It meant that there was a correlation between parental height characteristics and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy based on Upper Arm Circumference (UAC) with the incidence of stunting in children aged 24-59 months in the Berbek Public Health Center Nganjuk Regency Parental height and nutritional status of the mother during normal pregnancy, it will have the opportunity to have a child with good growth.

AbstractObjectiveTo analyse trends in maternal nutritional status in Bangladesh over a 12-year period and to examine the associations between nutritional status and socio-economic variables.DesignMaternal nutritional status indicators were height, weight and BMI. Socio-economic variables used were region, residency, education and occupation of the mothers and their husbands, house type, and possession score in the household.SettingBangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (1996, 2000, 2004 and 2007) were the source of data.SubjectsA total of 16 278 mothers were included.ResultsAll of the socio-economic variables showed significant associations with maternal nutritional status indicators. Regional variation was found to be present; all three indicators were found to be lowest in the Sylhet division. Upward trends in maternal height, weight and BMI were evident from no possessions to four possessions in households, and for no education to higher education of women and their husbands. Bangladeshi mothers measured in 2007 were found to be on average 0·34 cm taller and 3·36 kg heavier than mothers measured in 1996. Between 1996 and 2007 maternal underweight fell from nearly 50 % to just over 30 % while overweight and obesity increased from about 3 % to over 9 % (WHO cut-offs) or from 7 % to nearly 18 % (Asian cut-offs).ConclusionsThe study reveals that over the 12-year period in Bangladesh there has been a substantial reduction in maternal underweight accompanied by a considerable increase in obesity. It is also evident that malnutrition in Bangladesh is a multidimensional problem that warrants a proper policy mix and programme intervention.
