Pregnant women are among the most vulnerable to environmental exposure to tobacco smoke (EET); which has been linked to problems in the mothers’ health; one of the most frequent is gestational diabetes (GD). For this reason, there are specific interventions and prevention strategies designed to reduce this exposure risk. However, currently, they are mostly aimed only at aiding the pregnant women with smoking cessation during pregnancy and do not assess or address the risk from passive exposure due to partner smoking. The aim of this work is to study the exposure to EET of pregnant women considering active and passive smoking and to evaluate its effect on the development of GD. This is an observational case-control study within a retrospective cohort of pregnant women. Information on smoking habits was obtained from both personal interviews and recorded medical history. In total, 16.2% of mothers and 28.3% of partners declared having been active smokers during pregnancy; 36.5% of the women presented EET during pregnancy when both active and passive smoking were considered. After adjustments, the association with the EET and GD of the mother was (aOR 1.10 95% CI: 0.64–1.92); for the EET of the partner, it was (aOR 1.66 95% CI: 1.01–2.77); for both partners, it was (aOR 1.82 95% CI: 1.15–2.89), adjusted by the mother’s age and body mass index. There is a lack of education regarding the effects of passive exposure to tobacco smoke. It is essential that pregnant women and their partners are educated on the risks of active and passive smoking; this could improve the effectiveness of other GD prevention strategies.

Background: Child development and life outcomes are partly linked to prenatal and maternal conditions such as mother’s age at birth. Thus, the issue of teenage motherhood has attracted significant concern from researchers and policymakers because of its potential implications for children. The existing literature on effects of teenage motherhood on children is typically limited to weight at childbirth. Other studies are mainly descriptive in nature and do not account for selection bias associated with teenage mothers and their deprived environment resulting in their children also being brought up in similar environment.Aim: This article examined the effects of teenage motherhood on child outcomes, specifically on children’s education, economic well-being, reported health status and body mass index (BMI).Setting: Children (0–14 years) of teenage mothers (less than 20 years at first birth) in National Income Dynamics Survey (NIDS) data constitute the subjects under investigation in this study.Methods: Using NIDS data, the study applied pooled regression, random effects model and propensity score matching (PSM) technique to examine the effect of teenage motherhood on child outcomes.Results: The study confirms that the PSM method is more robust to selection bias than pooled regression and random effect techniques. The findings from this study reveal that teenage motherhood significantly increases child grade repetition and economic dependency. However, teenage motherhood association with child health and BMI is found to be insignificant.Conclusions: Teenage motherhood has far-reaching effects on children outcomes, thus proactive, reactive and post-active policies and programmes focusing on minimising the effect of teenage motherhood and enhancing children’s welfare are recommended.

Abstrak Latar belakang: Pemberian MPASI yang benar dapat mengoptimalkan tumbuh kembang anak, akan tetapi masih banyak orang tua yang belum memahami praktek pemberian MPASI yang benar. Hasil observasi menunjukan sebagian besar orang tua di Desa Rabutdaiyo belum mengetahui kapan waktu yang ideal untuk memberikan MPASI. Hampir sebagian besar orang tua di Desa Rabutdaiyo memberikan MPASI sebelum 6 bulan, bahkan ada yang kurang dari 3 bulan. Berdasarkan fakta di atas maka peneliti tertarik untuk memberikan penyuluhan sebagai upaya meningkatkan pemahaman  ibu dalam pemberian makanan pendamping ASI (MPASI). Metode: Eksperimen semu (quasi experiment) berdasarkan rancangan one group pre-posttest design digunakan dalam studi ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara langsung melalui intervensi penyuluhan tentang MPASI. Variabel dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari pengetahuan ibu tentang MPASI, usia ibu, pendidikan ibu, paritas dan status pemberian MPASI. Besar sampel dalam studi ini menggunakan total sampling 20 ibu yang memiliki baduta Hasil: Analisis t-test menunjukkan ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara skor pengetahuan tentang MPASI sebelum dan sesudah intervensi Kesimpulan: Kegiatan penyuluhan tentang MPASI di Desa Rabutdaiyo terbukti secara statistik dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu tentang MPASI. Kata kunci: Penyuluhan MPASI, tumbuh kembang, pengetahuan ibu  Abstract Background: Giving the correct complimentary food to children can help them grow and develop more quickly, but many parents are unaware of this practice. According to the findings, the majority of parents in Rabutdaiyo Village do not know when it is appropriate to administer MPASI. The majority of parents in Rabutdaiyo Village provided supplemental feeding prior to the age of six months, and some even before the age of three months. The researchers are interested in undertaking counseling to boost mothers' knowledge of complementary feeding (MPASI).  based on the findings above Methods: A quasi-experiment with a one-group pre-posttest design was employed as the research approach. This research was conducted directly through counseling intervention about MPASI. Mother's awareness of complementary meals, mother's age, mother's education, parity, and status of complementary feeding were the variables in this study. A total of 20 mothers with children under the age of two were included in this study's sample size. Result: There was a significant difference in complementary food knowledge scores before and after the intervention, according to the t-test analysis. Conclusion: Counseling activities on MPASI in Rabutdaiyo Village were statistically proven to increase mothers' knowledge about MPASI. Key Words: MPASI counseling , growth and development, mother's knowledge

BACKGROUND: The golden period is a phase of 0–2 years. The parents must get a thorough stimulation of health, nutrition, parenting, and education. During a pandemic like now, the growth and development of toddlers must still be considered, especially by parents. AIM: Exploring the sociodemographic analysis in term of growth and development of toddler during Covid-19 pandemic. METHODS: Pregnant women and their parents visited at a primary health center in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with inclusion criteria: (1) Toddlers aged 18–40 months, (2) mothers of all age ranges, (3) not having current disease complications, (4) mothers at all levels of education, and (5) parents at all income types. The sampling technique is total sampling using a questionnaire instrument and the KPSP format. Data processing using Chi-square statistical test. RESULTS: The results of the bivariate analysis found that sociodemographics related to the growth and development of children under 5 were maternal education with p = 0.001 and family income with p = 0.000. The unrelated is the age of the toddler p = 0.156, the mother’s age with p = 0.888, and the mother’s occupation with p = 0.113. CONCLUSION: This study provides essential information as a new approach to improving and determining toddlers’ growth and development during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Turner syndrome (TS) affects 1/2,500 live-born female infants. In the present study, we attempted to clarify the relationship between genetic factors (especially the X-chromosome origin), clinical features, body/sexual development, and treatment outcomes. We enrolled 39 female infants aged between 3 and 14 years. General demographic and clinical features were documented, and laboratory analysis of blood samples was performed. Subject karyotype was determined by G-banding of 50 peripheral white blood cells, and the parenteral origin of the retained X-chromosome was determined. Next, growth hormone (GH) treatment was prescribed for 12 months, with follow-ups performed as determined. For patient groups separated according to X-chromosome origin, the basal height, bone age, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels were comparable; however, after the 12-month treatment, significant differences in the height increase and IGF-1 levels were observed. If the X-chromosome (or chromosomes) originated from both parents, the increase in height was less substantial, with lower serum IGF-1 levels. The uterine size, prolactin level, increased weight after treatment, and bone age difference after treatment negatively correlated with the mother’s age at the time of birth. The mother’s height at the time of birth demonstrated a negative correlation with the basal bone age difference and a positive correlation with the IGF-1 level. In summary, the retained X-chromosome derived from both parents is associated with poorer response to GH therapy. The mother’s age and height at the time of birth can strongly impact the patient’s body/sexual development and the response to GH treatment. Thus, the mother’s age and height at the time of birth and the parental origin of the X-chromosome should be carefully considered before developing a treatment plan for TS.

Abstract Background Central coordination disorders (CCD) encompass various abnormalities observed in infants but early therapy may have an impact on their condition. The aim was to seek factors that may affect the early results of therapy of infants with CCD. Methods We analyzed the outcomes of a three-month period of rehabilitation of infants living with CCD. Children were treated at Non-public Specialist Healthcare Institution Medi-Reh in Kalisz in the period from 1 Jan 2014 to 31 Nov 2019. In our retrospective study results of three-month therapy of infants, aged 1 to 6 months, with CCD were analysed regards to the effectiveness and the potential impact of different factors. Therapy and assessment of children were conducted with the use of the Vojta method, which was performed during the first visit (WW) and the follow-up visit (after 3 months- 1WK). The analysis of the influence of various factors on the effect of therapy included: mother's age at the time of delivery, duration of breastfeeding, child APGAR, gestational age in which the child was born, sex of the child, birth weight, age of the child at WW, type of delivery, craniosacral therapy as an additive treatment. Results Based on the examination results from 66 medical records it was demonstrated that after active period of the therapy, improvement was observed in 54 (81.81%) (p=0.48) children (condition during WW versus 1WK among the group). The sole factor impacting improvement after 3 months was the age of the child at WW, when the child started therapy. This factor significantly (p=0.002) increased the chance of achieving improvement - by 3.2 times (OR= 3,2; CI= 95). No statistically significant differences were shown for the other studied factors. Conclusions Prompt implementation of rehabilitation in children with CCD provides a better chance of improving their motor function. The rehabilitation should be started as soon as possible after the diagnosis is constituted.

ABSTRACTBackground: Breast milk (ASI) is a liquid created specifically that comes directly from the breast of a mother for babies and is the best food for babies especially aged 0-6 months. Factors that influence exclusive breastfeeding to mothers include maternal sociodemographic factors, pre/post natal factors, and psychosocial factors. Bojonegoro Regency is one of the regions in Indonesia that has quite good exclusive breastfeeding coverage in 2018 to reach 87%. However, there are still a number of sub-districts and public health service in Bojonegoro that have not been able to reach the target of breastfeeding coverage by the Ministry of Health in 2015, one of them is Leran Village, Kalitidu District, Bojonegoro Regency.Objective: This study determined the relation between characteristics of breastfeeding mothers consisting of age, education, occupation, and parity with exclusive breastfeeding in Leran Village, Kalitidu District, Bojonegoro Regency.Methods: The method is observational type and analytic descriptive which uses cross sectional approach. Variables studies had a relationship with exclusive breastfeeding if p < 0,05.Result: As many as 56% of mothers do not give exclusive breastfeeding. Most of the mothers who do not provide exclusive breastfeeding have low education (78,6%), aged 36-45 years (57,1%), are housewives (64,3%), and multiparous (50%). Statistical analysis showed no relation to the variables age (p=0,099), occupation (p=0,165), parity (p=0,208) with exclusive breastfeeding. While the education (p=0,003) have a relation with exclusive breastfeeding.Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is no relation between age, occupation, and parity of mothers with exclusive breastfeeding. However, there is a relation between mother’s education and exclusive breastfeedingKeywords: exclusive breastfeeding, mother’s age, mother’s education, mother’s occupation, parity

Background: In Indonesia, maternal health care services are widely available, aiming to improve health and survival among mothers. However, these services remain underutilised, and its determining factor was unknown. This study sought to identify determinant factors of maternal healthcare services utilisation among Indonesian mothers. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study leveraged the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey data. A total of 12,033 mothers aged from 15 to 49 years who had a live birth in the five years preceding the survey were included in the analysis. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify the determinant factors. Results: Approximately 93.44% of the mothers had adequate antenatal care, 83.73% had a delivery at the healthcare facility, and 71.46% received postnatal care. The mother’s age and household wealth index were the typical determinants of all maternal healthcare services. Determinants of antenatal care visits were husband’s occupational status, the number of children, and access to the healthcare facility. Next, factors that drive mothers’ delivery at the healthcare facility were the mother’s education level, husband’s educational level, and residential area. The use of postnatal care was determined by the mother’s occupational status, husband’s educational level, number of children, wealth index, access to the healthcare facility, and residential area. Conclusions: Although there were differences in the determinant factors of three key maternal healthcare services, the mother’s age and household wealth index were the typical determinants of all maternal healthcare services utilisation. Providing a tailored programme aligned with these determinant factors may ensure that mothers can access and adequately utilise maternal healthcare services.

The best nutrition for babies is breast milk. Breast milk should be given exclusively without any additions in the first six months. According to previous research, a woman’s age at marriage will affect the practice of exclusive breastfeeding to their babies, as young mothers are often not ready to have and care for babies. The work status of mothers also has a large impact on exclusive breastfeeding practices. The goal of this study was to discover the correlation between age at marriage and the work status of mothers with exclusive breastfeeding practices. This research was an observational study with the subjects being 94 mothers of children aged 0-5 years in Ngringinrejo Village, Kalitidu District, Bojonegoro Regency from 3 July to 9 August, 2019. This study used data from the professional placement activity or Praktik Kerja Lapangan (PKL) conducted by the students of the public health study program of Airlangga University. The outcome of this research showed that there was no meaningful relationship between the age of marriage of mothers and practices of exclusive breastfeeding (p-value = 0.973) and there is also no statistical relationship between the work status of mothers and exclusive breastfeeding practices (p-value = 0.276). However, it was discovered that mothers who gave exclusive breastfeeding were mostly not working, and mothers who did not breastfeed exclusively were mostly in employment. The conclusion of this research is the absence of a correlation between age at marriage and the work status of mothers with exclusive breastfeeding.
