Chronic energy deficiency (KEK) is a nutritional problem caused by lack of food intake in a long time. Based on the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018 in Indonesia containing pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency reaching 17.3%. This shows that there are still quite a lot of pregnant women who are malnourished in Indonesia. One of local foodstuffs that can be an alternative to meet the nutrition of pregnant women with mung beans. Mung beans are rich in macro, micro nutrients, vitamins B1, B2, amino acids, folic acid, protein, carbohydrates, Ca and phosphorus. This study discusses how to increase mungbean extract to increase upper arm circumference in pregnant women Energy Deficiency in the working area of the Public Health Center Gubug 1. This study was a study of one group with pre and post tests. The population of this study is pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency according to inclusion criteria. The sampling technique is to use a purposive sampling technique. Giving mung bean extract is done for 30 days. The study showed the results of the measurement of the circumference of the upper arm before training (pre test) with after administration (post test) after being involved using paired t-test obtained p value (0.001) α (0.05). Means there is a significant difference between the circumference of the upper arm before the treatment round. From the research that is expected from health workers need to educate pregnant women for nutritious food, so pregnant women do not need Chronic Energy Deficiency. Nutritious food sources can be obtained from the environment around pregnant women and are easily available at affordable prices. Keywords: Mung bean extract; Chronic Energy Deficiency; Upper Arm Circumference

 Nutritional anemia generally occurs in women of reproductive age and children. This situation has the greatest overall effect in terms of health problems. Iron deficiency anemia is prone to occur in young women due to the increased need for iron during their infancy. The proportion of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in pregnant women in Sukawati District in 2017 was 34 mothers and in 2018 increased to as many as 40 pregnant women experiencing KEK, while the proportion of KEK in adolescent girls was not yet available. Likewise with the Proportion of Anemia in young women there is no data yet. Therefore, the servants will carry out Hb examination and measurement of LILA (Upper Arm Circumference) on young women in Sukawati sub-district, Gianyar Regency. The purpose of the Community Service is to provide counseling on nutrition, especially in the prevention of Anemia and KEK as well as examining hemoglobin levels in young women in Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency. The method used to achieve the objectives of community service is the method of lecture, discussion and examination of Hb levels and measurement of MUAC.Examination of hemoglobin levels was performed to determine the anemia status of the target. The average Hb level was 12.85 g / dl while the lowest value was 9.1 g / dl while the highest was 14.6 g / dl. Of the 50 targets examined found 14 targets (28%) anemia and 36 targets (72%) were not anemic. Determination of KEK status is done by measuring the target upper arm circumference (MUAC). Of the 50 targets measured there were 17 targets (34%) experienced KEK and 33 targets (66%) did not experience KEK. The conclusion of this community service counseling about Anemia and KEK in the prevention of anemia and KEK has succeeded in increasing good knowledge to be above 50%, Adolescent girls who have anemia by 28%, Adolescent girls who experience chronic Less Energy (KEK) by 34% in Sukawati District Gianyar RegencyKeywords: Anemia, Chronic Energy Deficiency, Adolescent Girls

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.

BackgroundThe nutritional situation of women in Nepal remains precarious. Low energy, protein andmicronutrient intakes contribute to high levels of stunting and anaemia throughout thelife cycle. This suboptimal nutritional status contributes to high prevalences of low birthweight and death in early infancy. As background information for an ongoing study ofperinatal health interventions in 24 Village Development Committees (VDCs) of MakwanpurDistrict, a descriptive study of nutritional status and anaemia in a sample of women wascarried out.ObjectivesTo measure weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and blood haemoglobinin non-pregnant married women of reproductive age.MethodsParticipants aged between 15 and 49 years were recruited at 12 sites in five VDCs. Personaldetails were collected in each case, after which height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference(MUAC) and blood haemoglobin level were measured.ResultsResults are available for 500 women. Mean height was 149.9 cm (95% confidence intervalfor mean 149.5 – 150.4 cm); mean weight was 45.5 kg (95% CI 44.9 - 46.1 kg); mean BodyMass Index (BMI) was 20.2 kg/m2(95% CI 20.0 – 20.4 kg/m2); mean MUAC was 23.47 cm(95% CI 23.2 – 23.7 cm). Overall, 27.8% (95% CI 24.1 – 32.2%) of women showed evidenceof Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) on the basis of BMI, and 51.5% (95% CI 47.0 –56.0%) on the basis of MUAC. There were no significant differences in BMI or MUACbetween either ethnic or age groups. 35.3% of women were anaemic (95% CI 31.1 – 39.7%),one percent severely so. There were no significant differences in prevalence between ethnicgroups, but there was some evidence of an increase in anaemia prevalence with age.ConclusionsCED and anaemia appear common in Makwanpur District. As part of a package to improvenewborn infant outcome, access to and uptake of haematinics during pregnancy should bebeneficial. Community level intervention needs to attempt to address the issue of foodintake in young girls and women before improvements in nutritional status are possibleKey Words: Anaemia, anthropometry, nutritional status, Nepal.
