In their article, Shull et al1 imply that the mode of breast -feeding is causally related to the observed differences in growth velocity. They do this even though: (1) no food intake data were obtained on the breast fed infants; (2) type of supplemental feeding received by breast-fed infants older than 6 months was unknown; (3) maternal nutritional status while nursing was unknown; (4) measurements of the child's nutritional status other than growth velocity were not made; (5) dietary disparities appeared present within macrobiotic and nonmacrobiotic groups; (6) parental socioeconomic class was not evaluated.

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.

Objective: According to the National Health Survey in 2013, nutritional problems in Indonesia are still a concern, and caries is the most prevalent dental disease. Primary dentition is developed during a mother’s pregnancy period. Thus, mothers’ nutritional status during pregnancy could determine the health of their children’s primary dentition. This study objective was to analyze the relationship between mothers’ nutritional status and dental caries in their children’s primary teeth.Methods: In total, 281 children under 5-year-old were selected from a health screening in Depok Sub-District, West Java. Information about maternal nutritional status was collected through the mother and child’s health book. Information about dental caries was collected through clinical examinations using the dmft index.Result: The prevalence of mothers with poor nutritional status was 22.8%, and 55.2% of their children had caries. The occurrence of dental caries in primary dentition between children of mothers with poor and good nutritional status was significantly different (p<0.001). The likelihood of getting caries was 1.85 times higher (95% confidence interval: 1.5–2.2) among children of mothers with poor nutritional status than among children of mothers with a good nutritional status.Conclusion: Children of mothers with a poor nutritional status would likely present with dental caries and had a higher risk of dental caries compared to children of mothers with a good nutritional status.

The nutritional status of the mother before and during pregnancy is one of the important factors that influence the growth and development of the intrauterine fetus. Chronic lack of energy will cause the birth of babies with low birth weight. Risk factors for low birth weight events are influenced by maternal conditions accompanied by malnutrition and other maternal factors. This study aims to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women at term with the baby's birth weight. This study was an observational study with a cross sectional design. The sample in this study was mothers in maternity clinic who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling. The number of samples in this study were 50 people. Data analysis was performed by correlation statistical test. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal nutritional status (size of the upper arm circumference (p = 0,000) and birth weight of the baby. The conclusion were maternal nutritional status is very influential on birth weight of babies born

Masalah gizi seimbang di Indonesia masih merupakan masalah yang cukup berat. Pada hakikatnya berpangkal pada keadaan ekonomi yang kurang dan terbatasnya pengetahuan tentang nilai gizi dan makanan yang ada. Kekurangan atau kelebihan makanan pada masa hamil dapat berakibat kurang baik bagi ibu, janin yang dikandung serta jalannya persalinan. Oleh karena itu, perhatian terhadap gizi dan pengawasan berat badan (BB) selama hamil merupakan salah satu hal penting dalam pengawasan kesehatan pada masa hamil. Untuk mengetahui “ Hubungan status gizi ibu sebelum hamil dengan penambahan berat badan selama hamil”. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah hasil desain penelitian deskriftif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan status gizi ibu sebelum hamil dengan penambahan berat badan selama hamil. Populasi ibu hamil trimester III di wilayah kerja PMB Bidan W yaitu sebanyak 55 orang yang berkunjung ke PMB Bidan W. Untuk mendapatkan jumlah responden peneliti melakukan pengumpulan dengan tekhnik rancangan penelitian Cross Sectional Study dengan seluruh ibu hamil trimester III. Kemudian peneliti akan menghitung menggunakan rumus BMI yaitu Berat (badan dalam kg) : Kuadrat tinggi badan (dalam ukuran meter). BMI = (BB) / (TB) x (TB). Dilanjutkan dengan analisa data melalui beberapa tahap yang dimulai dengan editing, coding, tabulasi.Hasil : Hasil penelitian yang didapatkan Dari 55 responden status gizi ibu hamil bahwa hampir setengah dari responden status gizi ibu hamil dengan kategori normal sebanyak 22 orang dengan presentasi 40%. Dari 55 responden penambahan berat badan ibu selama hamil bahwa hampir setengah dari responden penambahan berat badan dengan kategori baik sebanyak 20 orang presentasi 36,4%. Ada hubungan status gizi ibu sebelum hamil dengan penambahan berat badan selama hamil di PMB Bd Warsah Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Hal tersebut dapat dibuktikan dengan hasil uji statistik menggunakan Chi – square dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan p = ,000 < 0,05.The problem of balanced nutrition in Indonesia is still a serious problem. Essentially stems from a lack of economic conditions and limited knowledge about nutrition in Indonesia. Lack or excess of food during pregnancy can have a negative effect on the mother, the fetus and the course of delivery. Therefore, attention to nutrition and control of body weight (BB) during pregnancy is of the important things in health surveillance during pregnancy. To determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy. The type of research used is the result of a descriptive research design that aims to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy. The population of thitd trimester III pregnant women in the PMB Midwife W working area, west bandung district, was 55 people. To get the number of respondents, the research was was collected using a cross sectional study design technique with all 3 trimester pregnant women checking their weight and height.Then The researcher will calculate using BMI formula, namely body weight (in kg) : height squared (in maters). Followed by data analysis through several stages starting with editing, coding, tabulation. The results of the study obtained from 55 respondents of the nutritional status of pregnant women that almost half of the respondents of the nutritional status of pregnant women in the normal category were 22 people with a presentation of 40%. Of the 55 respondents who gained weight in the good category, 20 people had a percentage of 36.4%. There is a relationship between maternal nutritional status before preganancy at PMB Midwife W West Bandung Regency. This can be proven by the results of stastical test using Chi – square in this study showing p =, 000 < 0.05

Objective: To determine the patterns of maternal nutrition status by using mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and to examine the association of maternal nutritional status with the nutritional status of malnourished children under two years of age. Methods: Descriptive study conducted at the Department of Pediatric Medicine of the Children’s Hospital, Lahore from January 2017 to March 2018. A total of 227 mother accompanying their children admitted for nutritional rehabilitation were included. Demographics of participants along with MUAC of every mother was taken. Data analysis was done by SPSS 22. Results: Mean maternal age was 28.29±5.30 years and mean age of children was 9.22 ± 6.05 months. Mean maternal MUAC was 25.53±3.63 cm. Normal nutrition was present in only 70 (31%), 35 (15.4%) had moderate to severe under nutrition and 68 (30%) were overweight and 17 (7.5%) were obese. Maternal illiteracy was common 150 (66%) and 203 (89%) belong to poor social class. Majority 150 (75%) children had <-3SD WHZ score. Only 42 (18.5%) children were exclusively breast fed. Maternal malnutrition was significantly associated with severity of child’s undernutrition (p=0.045) and low rates of exclusive breast feeding practices (p=0.049). Conclusion: Malnutrition, in the form of both under nutrition and obesity is prevalent in mothers of malnourished children belonging to lower social class. Maternal illiteracy and low income are the major contributor in maternal malnutrition which in turn has an impact on child nutrition and breast feeding practices. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.3.1331 How to cite this:Bari A, Sultana N, Mehreen S, Sadaqat N, Imran I, Javed R.

Abstract Use of body mass index (BMI) to assess the nutritional status of adolescents requires many resources, especially for country-level assessment. This study aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) among adolescent males and females in India and to examine whether MUAC effectively represents the nutritional status of adolescents. The study utilized anthropometric measurement data collected by India’s National Family Health Survey-4 (2015–16). The weighted sample for analysis included 91,315 female and 14,893 male adolescents. The BMI and MUAC measurements showed a positive correlation in both female and male adolescents. Using BMI-for-age Z-score classifications, 12.7% of the adolescents were undernourished. Using MUAC (in cm) as per NACS (Nutrition Assessment, Counselling, and Support) guidelines and Mramba et al. (2017) classified 22.9% and 3.7% of the adolescents as undernourished respectively. Finally, using the MUAC-for-age Z-score classification, 98.4% of adolescents were determined to be normal and 1.7% undernourished. Sensitivity and specificity tests of the MUAC cut-offs, in comparison with BMI cut-offs, showed that all three MUAC cut-off classifications had high specificity (NACS cut-off: 81.3%; Mramba et al. cut-off (cm): 97.7%; Mramba et al. cut-off (Z-score): 99.1%). The NACS cut-off had moderately high sensitivity (52.2%) but the Mramba et al. cut-offs had low sensitivity (13.3% for the centimetre cut-off and 6.6% for the Z-score cut-off). Sensitivity and specificity tests proved the relationship between BMI and MUAC, and that MUAC represents adolescent nutritional status with considerable efficiency. With further research, it may be established that MUAC is a better and promising measure of adolescent nutrition, having the advantage of needing fewer resources for data collection. The MUAC has the potential to offer a simple and low-resource alternative to BMI to assess nutritional status among adolescents in poor countries.
