INDEKS MASSA TUBUH RENDAH PADA AWAL KEHAMILAN DAN DEFISIENSI VITAMIN A PADA TRIMESTER KEDUA SEBAGAI FAKTOR RISIKO GANGGUAN PERTUMBUHAN LINIER PADA BAYI LAHIR
Abstract: The objective of
this study was to analyze risk factors related to pregnancy nutritional status
on the linear growth of newborn infants. The data used in this research was
secondary data from longitudinal studies of nutritional status of pregnant
women and their offspring in Bogor District. The variables used included body
weight at early pregnancy, body height, weight gain, serum protein, serum
albumin, hemoglobin, serum zinc, serum retinol, energy adequacy, protein
adequacy and protein density at second and third trimester of pregnancy. A multiple
logistic regression was applied to analyze the risk factors. The results showed
that vitamin A deficiency (serum retinol <20 μg/dl) of the second trimester
and body mass index <18.5 kg/m2 at early pregnancy, are the risk factors of
the linear growth of newborn infants (OR = 11.12 and 8.84). This implies that
normal nutritional status at early pregnancy is important in preventing
stunting among newborn infants.
