Maternal Body Mass Index (BMI) and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) in Early Pregnancy as Predictors of Low Birth Weight Infants

The maternal health condition in Indonesia still requires special attention in terms of prevention and management of mental-emotional disorders. Meanwhile, the Indonesia Basic Health Research in 2013 results show that the prevalence of mental-emotional disorder was approximately 6% in each of the different provinces. This study aims to detect the prevalence of mental-emotional disorders symptoms in pregnant women and examine the relations with age, education, occupation, number of children ownership, MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference), and blood pressure. This is an analytical observational study conducted using a cross-sectional design on pregnant women that participated in antenatal examination visits to health facilities. The location was 60 Private Delivery Centers, 244 Public Health Centers, and 259 Hospitals. The sampling site was carried out in three different places, which focused on three areas of South Sulawesi in Makassar, Maros, and Pangkep. The pregnant woman within the age range of 20-35 years shows 71,3% with a p-value=0,080 having mental-emotional disorder symptoms and 71,5% of mothers with less than two children predominantly experienced mental-emotional disorders symptoms with a p-value=0,078. Hence, it is important to address this issue because the mental and emotional problems in pregnant women can potentially lead to adverse effects, both for the women and the baby.

Objectives: A substantial proportion of women experience mental health challenges during pregnancy or the postpartum period. Common mental disorders (CMDs), including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, are prevalent. Identifying causes and associated risk factors is imperative for early intervention and the prevention of mental health issues.Methods: This study utilized data from the 2018 Basic Health Research, which was conducted nationwide in Indonesia, using a crosssectional approach. We focused on women aged 13-49 years who were currently or previously married, and had experienced pregnancy, including 8889 pregnant women and 77 012 women who had delivered between January 1, 2013 and August 31, 2018. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 was employed to assess CMDs. Multivariate logistic regression was performed.Results: The prevalence of CMDs in pregnant women was 12.6%, while postpartum mothers exhibited a prevalence of 10.1%. Poor health status displayed the strongest impact on CMDs during both pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 12.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 9.01 to 16.60) and the postpartum period (aOR, 16.72; 95% CI, 14.85 to 18.82). Additional significant factors for both group include young maternal age, lack of education, unemployment, history of hypertension, and smoking status. Among pregnant women, CMDs was also associated with first-trimester pregnancy, previous pregnancy complications, and small upper arm circumference. For postpartum mothers, significant factors include living in rural areas, history of abortion, unwanted pregnancy, pregnancy complications, lack of antenatal care, spontaneous delivery, postpartum complications and contraceptive use.Conclusions: CMDs can impact in pregnant and postpartum women. Early diagnosis and management must be seamlessly integrated into primary healthcare practices.
