Correlation between Body Mass Index with Anaemia Status of Pregnant women after Intervention Infused Okra Water and Ferrous Sulfate

Background: Lack of intake of macronutrients such as energy, protein and micronutrients such as iron, vitamins in the daily diet of pregnant women is a problem that has an impact on iron deficiency and chronic energy deficiency. To increase the bioavailability and absorption of iron sulfate supplements and improve the nutritional status of pregnant women, researchers provide interventions by consuming infused okra water. Okra contains macronutrients and micronutrients that can provide nutrition during pregnancy and increase iron absorption. This study aims to analyse the nutritional status of pregnant women by measuring BMI and its relation to their anaemia status. Methods: This research is a experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study was all pregnant women with gestational ages of 16–32 weeks and Hb levels less than 11 gr/dl. Purposive sampling was used to collect 50 samples from 50 people. The intervention provided was 100 grams of fresh okra fruit, which had been made into infused okra water, which was then drunk by the respondents after consuming ferrous sulphate tablets 60 mg per day. To analyse the relationship between BMI and anaemia status, the researchers used the chi-square test. Results: There was no relationship between increases in BMI and Hb levels in pregnant women in this study. Conclusions: An increase in body mass index (BMI) in pregnant women who were given infused okra water and ferrous sulphate tablets did not have a positive effect on haemoglobin levels. Based on BMI, it appears that pregnant women are not malnourished.

Combination of Beetroot Juice, Honey and Green Apple on Hemoglobin Levels in Anemia Pregnant Women at Payung Sekaki Health Center, Pekanbaru

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by lower-than-normal hemoglobin (Hb) levels. In pregnant women, anemia can lead to prolonged delivery times, increased bleeding, and shock during contractions. The adverse effects of anemia on the fetus include premature birth, low birth weight (LBW), potential disabilities, and infant mortality. The recommended solution to overcoming anemia in pregnant women is to consume a combination of beetroot juice and green apples juice. Beets contain essential components that can elevate Hb levels, whereas green apples provide minerals and vitamin C, enhancing iron absorption (Fe). This study aimed to investigate the effect of a combination of beetroot juice and green apple juice on Hb levels in pregnant women with anemia. The study population was comprised of 200 normal pregnant women, with a sample size of 15 in trimester III (TM III) with anemia, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention involved administering the juice daily for seven days. Data were collected using observation sheets and easy-to-touch devices. The research design was pre-experimental, utilizing a one-group pre-test–post-test design. This study was conducted within the working area of the Payung Sekaki Public Health Center (PHC) from January to April 2022. Dependent T-test analysis was used for data evaluation. The average Hb level of TM III pregnant women before juice consumption was 9.7 g/dL, which increased to 10.6 g/dL after the intervention. The dependent t-test results, with a 95% confidence level (Cl), indicated a p-value of 0.000, signifying a significant impact of fruit juice on the Hb levels of TM III pregnant women experiencing anemia. These findings suggest that clinical midwives should educate pregnant women about the importance of Fe tablets and the positive influence of fruit juice on Hb levels.
