and used cohort retrospective apporoach.The samples of this research consist of
60 gave birth mothers from three different villages in Tanjung District there
were Tanjung, Lemahabang and Sengon. The independent variables were risk of
pesticides exposure, times of work and periods of work. The dependent variables
were the new born baby body size consist of head circumference, birth length
and birth weight. Data analyzed by Chi Square, independent sample t test and
Mann Whitney.Result: There was no correlation between the risk of pesticides
exposure history and headcircumference p=0,068 but there was significant
difference of head circumferences average in exposure and not exposure group
p=0,016. There was no correlation between risk of pesticides exposure history
and birth length p=0,103, but there was significant difference of birth length
average in exposure and not exposure group. There was significant difference of
birth weight average in exposure and not exposure group p=0,019. There was no
correlation between times of work and head circumference p=0,288. There was no
correlation between times of work and birth length p=0,088 and also there was
no significant difference of birth weight in exposure and not exposure group
p=0,278. This research also reveal there was no correlation between period of
work and head circumference p=0,288. There was no correlation between period of
work and birth length p=0,088 and also there was no significant difference of
birth weight in exposure and not exposure groups p=0,278.Conclusion: There were
no correlation between risk of pesticides exposure history and
headcircumference, birth length and birth weight. There were no correlation
