SummaryA cross-sectional study of 212 adult (>18 years) male slum dwellers (mean age=34·6±14·4 years) of Midnapore town, West Bengal, India, was undertaken to study the inter-relationships of chronic energy deficiency (CED), monthly family income (MFI), self-reported morbidity and hospitalization due to severe illness. The mean height, weight and body mass index (BMI) of the subjects were 160·0 cm, 50·8 kg and 19·9 kg/m2, respectively. The overall frequencies of CED (BMI<18·5 kg/m2), morbidity and hospitalization were 38·2%, 34·4% and 13·7%, respectively. Based on the WHO classification, the prevalence of CED among this population was high (20–39%), indicating a serious situation. Overall, MFI was significantly (p<0·01) positively correlated with BMI (r=0·21). Linear regression analyses showed that MFI had a significant impact (t=3·08; p<0·002) on BMI. Overall, MFI explained 3·9% variation in BMI. Subjects belonging to the lowest family income group (FIG I) had the lowest mean BMI (19·1 kg/m2) and the highest rate of CED (46·3%) and morbidity (36·6%). Those in the highest family income group (FIG III) had the largest mean BMI (20·8 kg/m2) and lowest rate of CED (30·2%) and morbidity (30·2%). The highest rate (18·9%) of hospitalization was found in this group. There were significant family income group differences in mean BMI (F=3·134, p<0·05). The frequency of morbidity (24·6%) and hospitalization (11·9%) was lowest among normal BMI individuals. Morbidity was significantly higher (χ2=11·92, p=0·0026) among CED (48·2%) subjects compared with normal BMI individuals (OR=2·85; CI=1·49–5·46). Similarly, compared with normal BMI subjects, morbidity was higher (38·5%; OR=1·92; 95% CI=0·50–7·18) among overweight subjects. Hospitalization was more common among CED subjects (16·1%; OR=1·42; CI=0·58–3·45) compared with normal BMI subjects. Similarly, the frequency of hospitalization was more among overweight individuals (15·4%; OR=1·35; 95% CI=0·0–7·59). In conclusion, this study provides evidence that the frequency of CED among this population is high, indicating a serious situation. Moreover there exists strong inter-relationships between BMI, CED, MFI and morbidity.

Abstrak   Latar belakang:  Status  gizi  perempuan  di  Indonesia  cenderung  memburuk.  Hasil  Riset  Kesehatan  Dasar (Riskesdas) menunjukkan bahwa kekurangan energi kronis (KEK) pada wanita usia reproduksi meningkat dari 13,6 persen pada 2007 menjadi 20,8 persen pada 2013. Ibu hamil yang kekurangan gizi akan berdampak buruk pada bayinya. Tujuan: Memperoleh determinan status gizi kurang yaitu KEK dan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) rendah dari wanita hamil di Indonesia pada tahun 2013. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan data Riskesdas 2013. Analisis dilakukan dengan multivariat regresi logistik. Jumlah sampel adalah 7236 ibu hamil. Ibu hamil dikatakan KEK jika pertengahan lingkar lengan atas (LILA) < 23,5 cm dan IMT diukur dengan pendekatan metode Broca. Hasil: Determinan ibu hamil KEK dan IMT rendah adalah tinggal di perdesaan (AOR 1,20; 95% CI [1,11-1,13]), usia <20 tahun (AOR 1,62; 95% CI [1,60-1,65]), paritas 1 anak (AOR 2,04; 95% CI [2,02-2,06]), berpendidikan rendah (AOR 1,92; 95% CI [0,91-0,93]) dan status ekonomi rendah (AOR 3,36; 95% CI [3,31- 3,41]). Kesimpulan: Pendidikan harus ditingkatkan minimal hingga sekolah menengah atas sehingga pengetahuan gizi ibu meningkat dan kehamilan dini dapat dicegah. Ibu dengan status ekonomi rendah harus menjadi prioritas dalam pelayanan ibu dan upaya intervensi gizi.   Kata kunci: Sosial ekonomi, lingkar lengan atas, KEK, BMI, gizi ibu hamil.     Abstract   Background: The nutritional status of women in Indonesia tends to worsen. Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) showed that chronic energy deficiency (CED) among women of reproductive age increased from 13.6 percent in 2007 to 20.8 percent in 2013. Pregnant women who are lack of nutrition will have an impact on their babies. Objective: To determine the determinants of poor nutritional status which are CED and low body mass index (BMI) of pregnant women in Indonesia. Method: This study used 2013 Riskesdas data. The analysis was done using multivariate logistic regression. The total  sample  was 7236  pregnant  women.  Pregnant  women  with CED are those who  have mid-upper  arm circumference (MUAC) of less than 23.5 cm and BMI was measured by the Broca method approach. Results: The determinants of pregnant women with CED and low BMI are living in rural area (AOR 1.20; 95% CI [1.11-1.13]), age of <20 years (AOR 1.62; 95% CI [1.60-1.65]), having 1 child (AOR 2.04; 95% CI [2.02- 2.06]), having low education (AOR 1.92; 95% CI [0.91-0.93]) and low economic status (AOR 3.36; 95% CI [3.31- 3.41]). Conclusion: Education must be improved to at least high school degree, so that the mother's nutritional knowledge will increase, and early pregnancy will be prevented. Mothers with low economic status must be priority in maternal cervices and nutrition interventions.   Keywords: Socioeconomic, nutrition, mid-upper arm, CED, BMI, nutrition of pregnant women

Lingkar lengan atas (LiLA) telah digunakan sebagai indikator proksi terhadap risiko kekurangan energi kronis (KEK) untuk ibu hamil di Indonesia karena tidak terdapat data berat badan prahamil pada sebagian besar ibu hamil. Selama ini, ambang batas LiLA yang digunakan adalah 23,5 cm. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas LiLA terhadap indeks massa tubuh (IMT) yang merupakan indikator yang lebih baik untuk mengetahui status gizi wanita dewasa. Penelitian ini menggunakan data Riset Kesehatan Dasar tahun 2007 pada perempuan dewasa usia 20 – 45 tahun di seluruh Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini ialah ambang batas LiLA yang paling optimal untuk mendeteksi risiko KEK di Indonesia berada pada titik 24,95 cm (Se = 85%; Sp = 75%). Terdapat perbedaan ambang batas antarprovinsi tetapi tidak lebih dari 2 cm, terendah di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur (23,95 cm) dan tertinggi di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara dan Gorontalo (25,95 cm). LiLA mempunyai korelasi yang kuat (r = 0,67; nilai p < 0,000) dengan IMT. Direkomendasikan untuk menggunakan ambang batas LiLA 24,95 cm untuk mendeteksi risiko KEK wanita usia 20 – 45 tahun, sementara23,5 cm untuk outcome kehamilan, yaitu morbiditas dan mortalitas bayi.Kata kunci: Lingkar lengan atas, indeks massa tubuh, kekurangan energi kronisAbstractMid-upper arm circumference has been used in Indonesia as an proxy indicator of chronic energy malnutrition risk for pregnant women because there isn’t any data of prepregnancy weight in most of pregnant women. The boundary used was 23,5 cm. The objective of the study is to validate the currentboundary related to body mass index (BMI) indicator, which is believed as a better indicator in identifying women nutritional status. The study is using Riset Kesehatan Dasar 2007 data on Indonesian adult women aged 20 – 45 years old. The study found the boundary is 24,95 cm for detecting chronic energy malnutrition risk among adult women (Se = 85%; Sp = 75%). There are differences among provinces but not more than 2 cm, the lowest is in Nusa Tenggara Timur (23,95 cm) and the highest is in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo (25,95 cm). Mid upper arm circumference has a strong relationto BMI (r = 0,67; p value < 0,000). It is recommended to use mid-upper arm circumference boundary 24,95 cm to detect chronic energy malnutrition on 20 – 45 years old women and 23,5 cm to pregnancy outcome, baby morbidity, and mortality.Key words: Mid-upper arm circumference, body mass index, chronic energy deficiency

Upper arm circumference, body mass index, and fundal height of pregnant women to estimate birth weightBackground: Accuracy of estimated infant’s birth weight is one of the most important measurements at the beginning of labor. Some anthropometric measures of pregnant women are upper arm circumference (MUAC) as a screening tool for chronic energy deficiency, body mass index (BMI) for assessment of chronic energy deficiency status, and indicators of fundal height to estimate birth weight. However, many studies with varying results are related to the accuracy of estimated birth weight.Objective: The study aimed to compare the capacity of MUAC, BMI, and fundal height indicators in predicting birth weight.Methods: The type of research is a cross-sectional study carried out at the Sadewa Maternal and Child Hospital in Yogyakarta in June-August 2018 with a 376 sample. The independent variables were MUAC, BMI, and fundal height, and the dependent variable is birth weight. Bivariate analysis using Pearson correlation and AUC and ROC curve tests.Results: There is a relationship between BMI and the fundal height of pregnant women with birth weight. The AUC BMI value (AUC=0.519) was found to be the highest compared to the MUAC (AUC=0.496) and fundal height (AUC=0.466) measurements.Conclusions: Pre-pregnancy BMI had a better capacity for predicting birth weight than MUAC and fundal height.
