Nutritional Status Of Pregnant Women Research Articles

Some Immune Parameters of Term Newborns at Birth Are Associated with the Concentration of Iron, Copper and Magnesium in Maternal Serum.

The nutritional status of pregnant women is considered to affect fetal development and the health condition of newborns, including their immune system. We investigated the relationship between the concentrations of magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) in maternal serum (MS) and the concentrations of IgG antibodies and antineutrophil cytoplasmatic auto-antibodies against lactoferrin (Lf-ANCA) in umbilical cord serum (UCS). IgG was considered as a promoter of immunity, and Lf-ANCA as an inhibitor. The examined group consisted of 98 pregnant women and their healthy term newborn children. The concentrations of mineral elements were measured by FAAS/FAES, while the concentrations of antibodies were determined by ELISA. Excessive MS Fe and insufficient MS Cu were related to insufficient UCS IgG and excessive UCS Lf-ANCA. The correlation analysis showed confirming results. Adequate UCS IgG and Lf-ANCA were related to MS Mg at the strictly lower limit of the reference values. The results obtained seem to suggest that an excess of Fe and a deficiency of Cu in pregnancy may adversely affect some immune parameters of newborns. Reference values for MS Mg are likely to require reconsideration. It would be advisable to monitor the nutritional status of pregnant women with minerals in order to support the immune capacity of newborns.

5575938 DIETARY PATTERN, SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF PREGNANT WOMEN ATTENDING BARAU DIKKO TEACHING HOSPITAL AND THE NEED TO DEVELOP RECOMMENDED DIETARY ALLOWANCE AND DIETARY REFERENCE INTAKES FOR SICKLE CELL DISEASE PATIENTS

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly lack of vitamin A, iron and iodine have severe adverse effect on women and children (Lopriore and Muehlhoff, 2005). More resources need to be dedicated to research so as to establish a standard and specific recommended dietary allowance (RDA’s) for SCD patients, like the one developed for the general population (Beatrice et al, 2010). Lack of screening plays a major part in excessive mortality and a lot of the life threatening complications of SCD among under 5 children have well established nutritional basis. Impairment of immune response among children with SCD is largely associated with poor nutritional status and this drives infection related mortality. Nutritional status has been shown to be critical in SCD severity, weight for age score was shown to significally predict hospitalization in SCD. (Mohammad et al, 2001). In this study, the dietary pattern, nutritional status and micronutrient status of pregnant women attending Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital (BDTH), Kaduna were assessed. Aims: Assess the dietary pattern and nutritional status of pregnant women attending BDTH, Kaduna Determine the micronutrient status (Vitamin A, Iron and Zinc) during pregnancy To state the link between nutrition and SCD Methods: 180 apparently healthy pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at BDTH were involved in the research. Informed consent was sought from all pregnant women. Food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess food intake, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) was used to assess nutritional status, serum zinc and iron content were analysed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) and vitamin A was analysed spectrophotormetrically. Data were analysed and presented using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0 for descriptive statistics, statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results is presented as mean ± SD. Results: The age range of the pregnant women was mostly between 30-34 years. Most women had secondary school education. They were predominantly full time house wives. Maize was the most commonly food consumed by 69/180 pregnant women (38.5%). 140 pregnant women (78%) have normal serum iron levels while 40 pregnant women (22%) have low values (<10.74 µmol/L), though iron supplementation was given. Serum zinc levels were low (7.36 ± 0.31 1st trimester, 7.28 ± 0.37 2nd trimester, 7.18 ± 0.56 3rd trimester), serum vitamin A levels (1.67 ± 0.16 1st trimester, 1.53 ± 0.12 2nd trimester, 1.49 ± 0.11 3rd trimester). Severe acute malnutrition mainly occurred in the third trimester, 36/180 (20%) pregnant women. Conclusion: This study has established that higher percentage of malnutrition occurred in the third trimester (20%) pregnant womwen which may be due to the fœtus drawing a lot of nutrient from the mother. The dietary pattern showed a high frequency of consumption of carbohydrate food groups. Anthropometry of the pregnant women showed severe acute malnutrition (20%) in the 3rd trimester. The nutritional status of pregnant women is associated with birth weight of the baby. Baby given birth to by poorly nourished mother has a lower body weight as compared to the baby of better nourished mothers (Gashew et al 2019). Research have shown weather a pregnant woman is sickle or not there is an adverse effect on the new born if she is malnourished and also great consequences if the newborn is sikcle (Brown et al, 1994).

Antenatal Care Visits, Economic Status, and Nutritional Status of Pregnant Women on Stunting

Introduction: Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by insufficient nutritional intake for a long time due to improper feeding. Toddlers who are stunted have a decreased risk of intellectual ability and productivity, as well as an increased risk of developing degenerative diseases in the future. Stunting is caused by many factors, so it is necessary to evaluate the relationship between the incidence of stunting in children under five, including antenatal care visits, economic status, and the nutritional status of pregnant women. Objective: Stunting is one of the nutritional problems globally, especially in developing countries. The impact of stunting affects many aspects including disorders of gross and fine motor development, language development, and personal social. Method: This research is an analytical descriptive research. using a cross-sectional approach to assess risk factors for stunting. he population in this study were all mothers who had toddlers aged 24-60 months. The sampling technique used in this study was to use a purposive sampling technique of 40 mothers of toddlers. The economic status of the family has a significant influence on the incidence of stunting as evidenced by the p-value &lt;0.05. Result: The statistical results show that the ANC has a significant effect on the incidence of stunting as evidenced by the p-value &lt;0.05. The nutritional status of the mother based on MUAC has no significant effect on the incidence of stunting as evidenced by the p-value &gt; 0.05 Conclusion: ANC visits, nutritional status and family economic status have a significant influence on the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Petirhilir Village, Working Area of the Baregbeg Health Center, Ciamis Regency.

Feeding habits, nutritional status of pregnant women, and low birth weight in the health district of Garoua I, North Cameroon: A cross-sectional study

Low birth weight is a public health problem in developing countries, and this can be linked to food practices and nutritional status of women before and during the pregnancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of food practices and nutritional status of pregnant women on birth weight in the health district of Garoua 1 located in the North-Cameroon. For this purpose, 55 women in the third trimester of pregnancy, attending antenatal care in three health centres of the district were recruited. A questionnaire was administered to them to collect information on sociodemographic and economic characteristics, and antenatal care. This information included age, marital status, matrimonial regime, level of education, number of antenatal clinical visits attended, and profession. The twenty-four-hour dietary recall was used to determine Individual Dietary Diversity Score and Food Consumption Frequency. Body Mass Index and Total Weight Gain were calculated. The results obtained showed that most of pregnant women of Garoua 1 were under-educated, with more than a quarter who had never gone to school, without any source of income, and were housewives. These conditions favour poor food practices as shown by the results which indicated that 25.4% of interviewed women consumed less than three meals per day, and 67.3% had a poor Individual Dietary Diversity Score, indicating that they did not consume more than two food groups per day. Individual Dietary Diversity Score and Food Consumption Frequency of the women significantly influenced (p&lt;0.05) the birth weight of the babies. It is the same for Body Mass Index and Total Weight Gain which had a significant influence (p&lt;0.05) on the birth weight. Indeed, a low Body Mass Index at the beginning of the pregnancy, and insufficient Total Weight Gain during pregnancy increased by 3.35 and 7.12 times, respectively the risk of having an infant with a low birth weight. Nutrition education campaigns to women of childbearing age are recommended to alleviate the problem, and to improve overall living conditions in the community. Key words: Pregnant women, Food practices, Nutritional status, Low Birth Weight, Garoua

A lower ratio of reduced to total albumin in serum is associated with protein nutritional status of pregnant women in Japan

Protein-energy undernutrition is potentially prevalent among Japanese pregnant women, and biomarkers that objectively indicate the protein nutritional status during pregnancy may help in implementing appropriate protein supplementation to these women. We hypothesized that a serum parameter of pregnant women, the ratio of reduced to total albumin (reduced ALB ratio), would be associated with protein intake during pregnancy. The serum reduced ALB ratio of pregnant women was compared with protein intake and with gestation outcomes (gestation length and infant birth weight) in an observational study of 115 Japanese pregnant women. The serum reduced ALB ratio in the third trimester tended to be positively correlated with gestation length (P = .07). Infant birth weights tended to be different between protein intake tertiles (P = .09); the mean infant birth weight was higher in the third tertile compared with the first and second tertiles. The protein intake of pregnant women was significantly and positively correlated with the serum reduced ALB ratio in the second trimester. The serum reduced ALB ratio reflects protein nutritional status during pregnancy and may contribute to healthier gestation outcomes.

Faktor determinan riwayat kehamilan dan kelahiran sebagai penyebab stunting

Stunting is a condition of failure or a child's growth process that is not following their age. Many factors can cause children to experience stunting both in terms of health and outside health, such as economic conditions, nutritional status experienced by mothers during pregnancy, malnutrition, and improper feeding and care early in life. The study aimed to determine pregnancy and birth history as risk factors for stunting in children aged 24-59 months. The study used a case-control design, with the number of subjects being 176 children, calculating subjects using total sampling techniques on case subjects and matching on control subjects. The research was conducted at the Pangkalan Balai Health Center, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, in 2022. Data was collected for one month and then analyzed using the chi-square test and Logistic Regression. The results showed that parental income (p= 0,034; OR= 2,571), early marriage (p= 0,001; OR= 2,760), maternal age at pregnancy (p= 0,003; OR= 2,692), nutritional status at pregnancy (p=0,020; OR=2,080), birth length (p= 0,001; OR= 6,633) and birth weight (p= 0,044; OR= 3,632) are risk factors for stunting. The most influential determinant factor was the birth length. Conclusion, parental income, early marriage, age at risk of pregnancy, nutritional status of pregnant women, birth length, and birth weight are risk factors for stunting in children aged 24-59 months at Pangkalan Balai Health Center.

Eating Habits, Nutritional Status in Pregnant Women and Weight of Newborns, La Libertad - Peru

Objective: To determine the relationship between eating habits (EH) and nutritional status (NS) of pregnant women in the third trimester and the weight of their newborns (NB) attended at the C.S. Chugay in Sánchez Carrión, La Libertad, Peru, 2017. Material and methods: Quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional and non-experimental study. The population consisted of a sample of 30 pregnant women and their newborns. The data were collected during delivery and puerperium, applying instruments such as the research form (Alpha coefficient: 0.74) that identified the indicators (considering pre-gestational BMI, hemoglobin level and gestational weight gain in the third trimester), and the weight of the newborn. In addition, the questionnaire that assessed EH was used (Coefficient Alpha: 0.86). Kendall's Tau-b coefficient and the Chi-square test were used to determine the relationship between the ordinal variables. Results: 76.7% and 83.4% of the pregnant women had inadequate NS and EH, respectively; of the latter, 26.7% had low-birth weight newborns. Additionally, 50% had only primary school education and 70% were between 18 and 29 years old. Conclusions: There is no relationship between the variables EH and NS (Kendall's Tau-b coefficient = -0.035', p=1,) nor EH with birth weight of their newborns (Kendall's Tau-b coefficient = 0.067, p=1). It is therefore necessary to promote preventive promotional activities that encourage improved eating habits and nutritional status during pregnancy, as they play a determining role in health, which ensures the future quality of life of the mother and the NB.&#x0D; &#x0D; Received: 15 December 2022 / Accepted: 24 February 2023 / Published: 5 March 2023

Association of Body Mass Index for Pre-pregnant Mothers and Weight Gain during Pregnancy with the Outcome of Baby's Birth Weight

Pre-pregnancy mother's body mass index plays a role in increasing or decreasing maternal weight. Maternal body mass index is a prominent indicator for the nutritional status of pregnant women who can be at risk of increasing the occurrence of births with low birth weight babies. This study aims to analyze the relationship between pre-pregnancy body mass index and the occurrence of low birth weight babies at Abdul Moeloek General Hospital Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. This study uses an observational analytic research design with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all post-partum mothers who gave birth at the Abdul Moeloek Regional Hospital in Bandar Lampung and involved a sample of 79 respondents who were taken using the consecutive sampling technique. Sampling was carried out based on inclusion and exclusion criteria that met the research criteria until the desired number of samples was met. Analysis of the research data is the chi-square test and logistic regression test. The results showed that the two independent variables, namely the pre-pregnant mother's body mass index and weight gain during pregnancy, had a significant relationship to the baby's birth weight. The significance of body mass index is p-value=0.004 and the significance of weight gain during pregnancy is p-value=0.000. Thus the body mass index of pre-pregnant women and weight gain during pregnancy can affect low birth weight babies at Abdul Moeloek Hospital Bandar Lampung.

The Effect of Vitamin Use During Pregnancy on First Tooth Eruption Time in Postpartum Period

Objective: Vitamin supplements are commonly used to support the nutritional status of pregnant women during gestation. In this multidisciplinary study, we discussed the relationship between the three most used vitamin supplements in the Turkish population (vitamin D, vitamin B complexes, and multivitamins prepared for pregnant women) during pregnancy and tooth eruption time in babies. Methods: The data of approximately 1,000 patients who gave birth in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of our university were retrospectively reviewed. The babies of 145 patients who could be reached and who met the inclusion criteria were followed up in their postnatal period. Babies' first tooth eruption time, presence of caries, use of breast milk, and number of missing or excess teeth according to the month were determined. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the groups regarding maternal age, infant age, number of caries, breast milk use, or the number of missing/excessive teeth. However, it was found that patients who took vitamin D + B and patients who took only vitamin B had significantly earlier first tooth eruption times than those who used all three vitamins. The patients who used three vitamins had the latest tooth eruption time. There was no statistically significant difference between first tooth eruption time and maternal age or breast milk use. Conclusion: The use of vitamins in pregnant women can affect babies' oral–dental systems, which develop while they are still in their mother's womb. More detailed information on the use of vitamins is needed in the future

Influence of Nutrition in Pregnant Women on Breaking Postpartum at Puskesmas Inpatient Working Area in Bandar Lampung City

Indonesia as a developing country still has nutritional problems, especially pregnancy nutrition. Malnutrition in pregnant women increases the risk of bleeding postpartum. This study was conducted to determine the effect of maternal nutritional status during pregnancy on the incidence of bleeding postpartum at the Bandar Lampung Inpatient Health Center. This research is an observational analytic by design case control. Samples, taken using the technique purposive sampling, divided into 61 cases and 122 controls at the Bandar Lampung Inpatient Health Center. The analysis was carried out using chi square and logistic regression test. The highest proportion of mothers giving birth at the Bandar Lampung Inpatient Health Center were mothers who were not at risk of CED (84.7%) and were not anemic (71.6%). There is a significant effect between the risk of chronic energy deficiency (CED) (p=0.001; OR=8.62) and anemia status (p=0.001; OR=9.54) on the incidence of bleeding postpartum. Anemia status (p=0.001; OR=11.41) is the variable with the strongest relationship to bleeding events postpartum. The highest proportion of mothers giving birth at the Bandar Lampung Inpatient Health Center were mothers who were not at risk of CED and were not anemic. The nutritional status of pregnant women including the risk of CED and anemia status affect the incidence of bleeding postpartum in birthing mothers. Variable with the strongest relationship to bleeding events postpartum is anemia status.

Association Between Neck Circumference and Preeclampsia In Pregnant Women

The nutritional status of a person can be measured by neck circumference. This measurement uses a tape measure that is looped around the neck just below the larynx and perpendicular to the length of the neck. The parameters of neck circumference used to assess nutritional status are &gt; 34 cm in women with BMI &gt; 25 kg/m2 and &gt; 36.5 cm in women with BMI &gt; 30 kg/m2 with an accuracy rate of 99%. Being overweight and obese during pregnancy and childbirth will increase the risk of chronic disease in both mother and child. Pregnant women with obesity are at risk for pregnancy complications such as gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and more often undergo cesarean delivery due to a baby born prematurely. An observational study with a case-control design using a cross-sectional approach was carried out by measuring neck circumference in 130 pregnant women with gestational age above 20 weeks which was divided into 65 respondents of pregnant women with preeclampsia and 65 respondents of pregnant women without complications. This research was conducted on pregnant women in Tangerang Regency. The chi-square test is used to analyze the data with a significant value of 0.05. The results of the Chi-Square test obtained a p-value of 0.000 (p&lt;0.05), indicating a relationship between neck circumference and the occurrence of preeclampsia in pregnant women. The Contingency Coefficient value of 0.493 indicates the impact of obesity on the occurrence of preeclampsia by 49.3%, while other factors that influence preeclampsia are 50.7%. Neck circumference can be used as a method to assess nutritional status in pregnant women to prevent preeclampsia.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 07 No. 02 April’23 Page: 139-143

Nutritional Health Knowledge and Literacy among Pregnant Women in the Czech Republic: Analytical Cross-Sectional Study.

Adequate nutrition and the nutritional status of pregnant women are critical for the health of both the mother and the developing foetus. Research has shown a significant impact of nutrition on the child's health and the future risk of developing chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. There is currently no data on the level of nutritional knowledge of Czech pregnant women. This survey aimed to evaluate their level of nutritional knowledge and literacy. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in two healthcare facilities in Prague and Pilsen between April and June 2022. An anonymous self-administered paper-form questionnaire for assessing the level of nutritional knowledge (40 items) and the Likert scale for assessing nutrition literacy (5 items) were used. A total number of 401 women completed the questionnaire. An individual's nutritional knowledge score was calculated and compared with demographic and anamnestic characteristics using statistical methods. The results showed that only 5% of women achieved an overall nutritional score of 80% or more. University education (p < 0.001), living in the capital city (p < 0.001), experiencing first pregnancy (p = 0.041), having normal weight and being overweight (p = 0.024), and having NCDs (p = 0.044) were statistically significantly associated with a higher nutritional knowledge score. The lowest knowledge scores were found in the areas of optimal energy intake, optimal weight gain, and the role of micronutrients in diet during pregnancy. In conclusion, the study shows limited nutrition knowledge of Czech pregnant women in some areas of nutrition. Increasing nutritional knowledge and nutrition literacy in Czech pregnant women is crucial for supporting their optimal course of pregnancy and the future health of their offspring.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women with LBW with high IMR, as well as the factors that cause LBW and diseases that accompany LBW. The methodology used in this paper is a literature review in various relevant international and national journals as reference material for research activities using binding Google Scholar journals and articles for 2018-2022, and the keywords entered in the search are [Relationship of maternal nutritional status with low birth weight. in Indonesia] and access up to 10 journals according to the criteria. The result of this research is that the nutritional status of pregnant women is very influential on LBW. The cause of the occurrence of LBW from various factors, ranging from maternal, fetal, environmental, gestational age, and placental factors. It can be concluded that LBW is still a big problem today, especially in developing countries, and must be resolved immediately so that it does not continue to the next generation. So, pregnant women must maintain their diet and life so that their nutritional status is good and there is no risk of low birth weight during pregnancy.&#x0D;

Hubungan Faktor Riwayat LILA, Riwayat Kenaikan BB dan Riwayat Kadar Hb Ibu dengan Kejadian BBLR di Kota Bontang

Low Birth Weight is still a public health problem and occurs in many countries include Indonesia. The causes of LBW have been conceptualized in many theories, and many studies have been conducted to prove it so that efforts to improve it can be made. The incidence of LBW is closely related to nutritional status. The nutritional status of pregnant women both before and after pregnancy can describe the availability of nutrients in the mother's body to support fetal growth.This research was carried out using a Case Control design, carried out on mothers who have babies with a history of low birth weight and also normal. The results of the study were processed by the Chi Square test by showing the OR obtained by several factors that influence the incidence of LBW in Bontang City, namely a history of LiLa less than 23 cm is at risk of 4.6 times, a history of HB levels of less than 11 mg/dl is 4.7 times at risk, and a history of Weight gain during pregnancy &lt; 6 Kg times the risk of 5.5 times for giving birth with low birth weight babies. There is still a need for strong cooperation from various parties to continue efforts to reduce the incidence of LBW, especially for pregnant women who are expected to always be able to pay attention to their pregnancy even though it is not their first pregnancy

Maternal malnutrition during pregnancy among women with sickle cell disease.

The objective of this study was to compare the nutritional status and dietary intake of pregnant women with sickle cell disease (SS hemoglobinopathy and SC hemoglobinopathy) to healthy controls and report the maternal and perinatal outcomes. This is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study. Pregnant women with a diagnosis of sickle cell disease and control group were recruited in an outpatient clinic of a tertiary care hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Maternal anthropometric data and dietary intake data were collected at the second and third trimesters. A total of 49 pregnancies complicated by sickle cell disease were included. Prepregnancy body mass index was significantly lower in the SS hemoglobinopathy group (n=26, median 20.3 kg/m2) than the SC hemoglobinopathy group (n=23, 22.7 kg/m2) or control group (n=33, 23.2 kg/m2, p<0.05). The prepregnancy nutritional status revealed significantly more women classified as underweight in the SS hemoglobinopathy group (15.4%) than in the SC hemoglobinopathy group (4.4%) and control group (1.6%, p=0.009). In the second trimester, maternal protein intake was significantly lower in SS hemoglobinopathy (73.2 g/day) and SC hemoglobinopathy (68.8 g/day) than in the control group (95.7 g/day, p=0.004). In the third trimester, only SS hemoglobinopathy mothers showed dietary intake of protein significantly lower than that of the controls (67.5 g/day vs. 92.8 g/day, p=0.02). Vitamin A and E consumption was also reduced in the third trimester in the SS hemoglobinopathy group (p<0.05). The nutritional status of pregnant women with SS hemoglobinopathy is characterized by a state of undernutrition. The lower protein intake in the second and third trimesters of pregnant women with SS hemoglobinopathy may contribute to this condition. Undernourishment is a serious complication of sickle cell disease, primarily during pregnancy, and it should be addressed during the prenatal period.
