“…[10] A study by Nuss et al (2007) found that measuringknowledge in early postpartum measurement could identify the risk for future nutritional and health problems. Nutrition knowledge of woman who breastfeeds exclusively for more than six monthsis higher than the one of woman who breastfeeds for less than 6 months.…”

Background: The issue of malnutrition that leads to food security is not just a technical issue, but also a matter of individual habit to meet nutrients needed, including nutrients for fetus. The Government agrees to address the issue of food security in the first 1,000 days of life. This study aims at determining the influence of Infant Feeding Planning (Intention) Education on Nutrition and Breastfeeding Knowledge, Mother's Attitude, and Husband's Support to gravid Mother in Samarinda. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental research design with pre and post control group. The sample size was 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. The independent variable in this study was intention to breastfeed, while the dependent variables were breastfeeding and nutrition knowledge, mother's attitude and husband's support. The data were analyzed using paired t test, Wilcoxon test, ANOVA and MANOVA. Results: The study found the differences between intervention group and control group in nutrition knowledge, breastfeeding knowledge, and attitude. There was no difference between the groups in intention. The variables that influenced knowledge were education and employment. The variables influenced by the intention to breastfeed were breastfeeding knowledge, nutrition knowledge, and attitude. Intention had the greatest impact on the attitude, with the power observed at 0.689 which means that the intention affected the attitude of breastfeeding by 68.9%. Conclusions: Infant feeding planning education influences breastfeeding and nutrition knowledge as well as breastfeeding attitude.

“…It has been shown that adverse factors such as lack of nutrition knowledge [20, 21], poor dietary habits and physical inactivity [22, 23] could contribute to being overweight or obese during pregnancy as well as having high postpartum weight gain and/or retention. Findings from a recent retrospective cohort study [4] confirmed the commonly described association between maternal obesity, lower socioeconomic status [24, 25] and indicated the role of adverse health behaviours in explaining this socioeconomic status differential [26].…”

BackgroundLong-term obesity after pregnancy is associated with obesity prior to pregnancy and retention of weight postpartum. This study aims to identify socioeconomic differences in prepregnancy body mass index, quantify the impact of prepregnancy obesity on birth outcomes, and identify determinants of postpartum weight retention.MethodsA total of 2231 pregnant women, recruited from three public hospitals in Southeast Queensland in Australia during antenatal clinic visits, completed a questionnaire to elicit information on demographics, socioeconomic and behavioural characteristics. Perinatal information was extracted from hospital records. A follow-up questionnaire was completed by each participant at 12 months after the birth to obtain the mother’s postpartum weight, breastfeeding pattern, dietary and physical activity characteristics, and the child’s health and development information. Multivariate logistic regression method was used to model the association between prepregnancy obesity and outcomes.ResultsBeing overweight or obese prepregnancy was strongly associated with socioeconomic status and adverse behavioural factors. Obese women (18% of the cohort) were more likely to experience gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, cesarean delivery, and their children were more likely to experience intensive- or special-care nursery admission, fetal distress, resuscitation, and macrosomia. Women were more likely to retain weight postpartum if they consumed three or fewer serves of fruit/vegetables per day, did not engage in recreational activity with their baby, spent less than once a week on walking for 30 minutes or more or spent time with friends less than once per week. Mothers who breastfed for more than 3 months had reduced likelihood of high postpartum weight retention.ConclusionsFindings provide additional specificity to the increasing evidence of the predisposition of obesity prepregnancy on adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. They may be used to target effective behavioural change interventions to address obesity in women.

“…Higher nutrition knowledge has been associated with positive weight control outcomes among selected groups in the general population. [12][13][14] In other instances, however, disordered eating patterns can be present among individuals with relatively high levels of nutrition knowledge. 15,16 As a result, population-specific studies need to be conducted to examine how nutrition knowledge relates to weight control practices and their related side effects.…”

Objectives: Altering body weight can have substantial effects on an athlete's performance and well-being. Limited information is available describing the weight control practices of Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes. Methods: Weight control practices data from 188 (138 male and 50 female; 18-23 y) Division I NCAA athletes were analyzed as a part of this cross-sectional, retrospective study. Participants completed questionnaires on weight control practices and weight control nutrition knowledge at the end of their season and were classified into weight-sensitive and less weight-sensitive sports. Results: A higher proportion of females attempted to lose weight than males among less weight-sensitive sports (61% vs. 22%, chi-square = 15.8, p < 0.001). However, the prevalence of weight loss attempts was not different between females and males among weight-sensitive sports (50% vs. 60%, chi-square = 0.5, p = 0.479). The prevalence of weight gain attempts differed by gender for less weight-sensitive sports (65% vs. 4% for males and females, chi-square = 33.5, p < 0.001) but not weight-sensitive sports (24% vs. 9% for males and females, chi-square = 2.1, p = 0.146). Weight control knowledge did not differ between participants attempting versus not attempting to lose weight (Mann-Whitney U W I L S O N E T A L . IN T H E P H Y S I C I A N A N D S P O R T S M E D I C I N E 44 ( 2 0 1 6 ) 2= 3340, z = -1.37, p = 0.17). Common maladaptive behaviors used to lose weight included skipping meals and exercising more than usual. Conclusion: Weight loss attempts are common among Division I NCAA athletes, and the differences between males and females may be more pronounced among less weight-sensitive sports. Weight gain attempts are more common in select male sports.
