“…This proportion was lower than that of the pregnant women in Indonesia [3], rural India [17], and West and Central Africa Region [18]. Nonetheless, it was significantly higher than that of anemic pregnant women in North Sumatera, Indonesia [19]. Maternal anemia may have a negative effect on birth outcomes such as stillbirth, neonatal death, and low birth weight.…”

Dietary diversity and quantity are important for pregnant women, particularly anemic pregnant women. This study aimed to analyze the association between dietary quantity and diversity among anemic pregnant women. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 at Madura Island, Indonesia, and involved 152 anemic pregnant women. Hemoglobin concentration was analyzed by the cyanmethemoglobin method. Dietary quantity was measured by the 2 × 24 h recall. Dietary diversity was determined by Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women of Reproductive Age (MDD-W). Spearman's rank association was performed to analyze the association between dietary diversity and quantity. The median of hemoglobin concentration was 10.1 g/dL, and 57.2% pregnant women had mild anemia. Most of the pregnant women had low adequacy levels of energy and macro- and micronutrients (except for iron). More than half (57.9%) of anemic pregnant women had reached minimum dietary diversity. Family size (p=0.048) and gestational age (p=0.004) had negative associations with dietary diversity. Dietary diversity had positive associations with energy (p=0.029), protein (p=0.003), vitamin A (p=0.001), vitamin C (p=0.004), and zinc (p=0.015) adequacy levels. Dietary diversity had no significant association with calcium (p=0.078) and iron adequacy level (p=0.206). High prevalence of mild and moderate anemia was found among pregnant women in their third trimester. Anemic pregnant women already consumed food with minimum dietary diversity but did not meet dietary quantity. Increasing dietary quantity is a priority for anemic pregnant women.

“…Thus, anaemia in pregnant women is frequently found here. It is proven by the data from Basic Health Research Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2013 showing that the prevalence was about 37.1% [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 4 ].…”

“…In Indonesia, the national Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is still so high with 307/100.000 live births. Anaemia during pregnancy becomes an indirect cause of postpartum haemorrhage and results in maternal mortality in the latter [ 4 ], [ 5 ]. Meanwhile, the national Neonatal Mortality Rate is much higher with 987/100.000 live births.…”

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of anaemia is higher among women, including pregnant women. The estimation was about 24.8% of the population in the world suffering anaemia. Anaemia during pregnancy is a big problem because it can contribute morbidity and mortality, either in mother or newborn. The impacts of anaemia during pregnancy included post-partum haemorrhage, low birth weight (LBW), preterm delivery, and low Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration (APGAR) score. AIM: This study aimed to determine the correlation between haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy and the outcome of mothers and newborns. METHODS: It was a cohort study that included 200 pregnant women in second or third trimester at antenatal care of Sundari General Hospital Outpatient Clinic on February until September 2018. The participants were interviewed using a questionnaire, and their blood was checked to measure haemoglobin concentration using portable Easy Touch Hemoglobinometer. In the next three until six months, the following investigation was conducted to assess the maternal and neonatal outcome. RESULTS: The result of this study showed among the maternal outcome, only antepartum haemoglobin concentration had a statistically significant correlation with the haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy (p < 0.05), meanwhile, among the neonatal outcome. LBW was the only factor that statistically significantly correlated to the haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We can conclude that once anaemia occurs in pregnant women, then the women kept suffering from anaemia with its correlation was statistically significant.

“…Nutritional problems in developing countries that are commonly experienced by pregnant women are chronic energy malnutrition (CEM) and anemia 1 . Pregnant women who experience CEM and anemia have a greater risk of morbidity, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy compared to normal pregnant women.…”

Background: Chronic energy malnutrition and anemia are nutritional problems in pregnant women that often occur in developing countries. Nutritional intervention in pregnant women is needed to prevent any nutritional problems in both the mother and the fetus. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nutrition education along with egg and milk supplementation on the knowledge and nutritional attitudes and nutritional status of a pregnant women. Methods:The study design was pre-experimental with one group pretest posttest. Subjects were 45 pregnant women in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Nutritional interventions were given in the form of nutrition education along with egg and milk supplementation for pregnant women (90 days). The data collected consisted of pregnancy history, food consumption, household food security, nutritional knowledge and attitudes, midupper arm circumference, and hemoglobin levels. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test and Wilcoxon tests.Conclusions: Nutrition education intervention had an effect on increasing nutritional knowledge of pregnant women, and supplementation of egg and milk for three months increased the mid-uppper arm circumference. Nutritional intervention is needed as an effort to prevent chronic energy malnutrition in pregnant women.
