... shown in table 1, the majority came from the age group of 20-24 years old (33 subjects) and the number decreased in the older age group, as seen in 25-29 years old (27 subjects), 30-34 years old (5 subjects) and 35 years old (2 subjects). Table 2 shows that in this study it was found that majority of babies born in the Dupak Public Health Center Surabaya working area in 2017 were born within normal body weight. most pregnant women in the Dupak Public Health Center Surabaya working area in 2017 experienced anemia in their pregnancies even though the differences were not too significant. ...Similar publications
Anemia is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient with hemodialysis. The cause of anemia is mainly due to erythropoetin deficiency because the kidneys as a erythropoetin producer are damaged. The most appropriate management of anemia in CKD with hemodialysis is the administration of Erythropoietin Stimulating Agent (ESA) or er...

... Teenagers are more likely than not to deliver LBW newborns. 3,4 This is because they have not attained maturity and hence lack an effective placental transfer mechanism comparable to that of adult females 5. In addition, the reproductive organs of people in their 20s and younger are not in the best shape for having a baby. ...
Introduction: Birth weight is often used to evaluate a newborn baby’s health. Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality. Mothers under the age of 20 (early pregnancy) are at a greater risk of affecting the weight and nutritional status of the unborn child. This research aimed to determine the relationship between early pregnancy and LBW. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of women and newborns at Airlangga University academic hospital from January through December of 2017. Data on characteristics such as maternal age and LBW were collected. The correlation between early pregnancy and infant weight was determined using the Chi-square test, with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: We conducted research on 210 pairs of mothers and their infants. 64 (30.48%) of the pregnancies occurred in women under the age of 20; 61 (29.55%) were born LBW (weighing less than 2,500 grams). Early age pregnancy was linked to a higher proportion of LBW infants (p=0.001). Research indicated that the risk of LBW was more significant in the early groups of pregnancy.Conclusion: This research establishes a relationship between early age pregnancy and LBW. The findings may aid in identifying vulnerable mothers in need of further assistance and personalized treatments.
Objective
This study analyzes whether anemia in pregnant women improves with indicators of increased hemoglobin, intake of iron and zinc when intervened with biscuits contain Moringa oleifera leaf flour.
Method
It was Quasy experiment carried out at Antang, Mamajang and Batua Public Health Center in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The subject were the pregnant women of Trimester I and III trimesters which are divided into 2 groups with the intervention Group (n = 35) obtained M. oleifera leaf flour biscuits with combination iron tablet and the control group (n = 35) only accept FE tablets. Intervention group was given biscuits containing 40% moringa leaf flour (2.8 g per biscuits) with a dose of 2 pieces a day containing Moringa leaf flour and a combination of iron tablets with a dose of 2 times 250 mg, while the control group only consumed iron tablets at a dose of 2 times 250 mg. After 60 days, a posttest was carried out to examine hemoglobin, iron and zinc.
Result
The results showed that there was a significance increasing of hemoglobin after intervention (1.04 g/dl, p = 0.001), increasing of iron intake significantly (2.51 mg, p = 0.001) and zinc intake (0.14 mg, p = 0.144) also increas but not statistically significant. The increase in these three indicators was higher than the control group.
Conclusion
Biscuits containing M. oleifera leaf flour are able to provide improvement in the condition of pregnant mothers who have anemia, especially in hemoglobin levels, iron and zinc intake.
Background: Considering the importance of proper infant nutrition, especially in the first two years of life, and also the effect of cultural subjects on the type of infant's nutrition, this study aimed to investigate the type of nutrition and anthropometric indices of infants during the first year of birth in Bushehr, Iran.
Methods and materials: This cross-sectional study carried out on 546 delivered mothers. The data of mothers and their children were collected through Integrated Health System (SIB). Five centers of comprehensive health care centers were randomly selected. Required information included maternal demographic characteristics and anthropometric indices of infants at birth, 6 and 12 months. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 19 with appropriate statistical tests at a significance level of p Results: The frequency of exclusive breastfeeding, formula feeding and also both feeding methods (combined) were 56.8%, 25.1%, and 18.1%, respectively. The results showed that 6-month weight gain compared to birth time did not differ between the three groups. The increase in height and head circumference in the first six months in the formula feeding group was less than the exclusive breastfeeding group and the combined group (p <0.05). In the second six months, weight gain and height in formula feeding group were less than the other two groups (P <0.01).
Conclusion: This study showed that the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in Bushehr is desirable with good condition compared to the whole country of Iran. The growth trend in breastfed infants is either similar or better than formula-fed infants. Use of formula with breast milk compared to formula alone has better growth outcomes
Background: Fetal development is a strong predictor of neonate's survival after birth and poor fetal development is a health risk factor in infancy and adulthood. The frequency of factors that may affect fetal development is different from one society to another; therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate certain prenatal problems and their relationship with neonate's anthropometric indices at birth. Methods: The present cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted using the records registered in Iran’s Integrated Health System (locally known as SIB). They comprised of the records of 616 pregnant mothers who had given birth during 2017-18 in Bushehr city (Iran). The registered details of the mothers and infants were reviewed from the first prenatal visit to the first postpartum visit. A checklist was prepared to cumulate the information in their records. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS-19 through the appropriate statistical tests at a significance level of p 0.001) and mother's BMI (β=242, P>0.001) in the first prenatal visit had a significant relationship with the infant's length-for-age Z-score. The infant's anthropometric indices had no significant relationships with perinatal complications such as anemia, controlled diabetes, and urinary tract infections. Conclusion: Prenatal complications such as anemia were prevalent in the study population, and required particular attention. The mother's BMI can predict fetal development and should be the focus of greater attention in prenatal clinics
