Relationships between soil-transmitted helminthiases and growth in urban slum schoolchildren in Ujung Pandang Indonesia.

This study examined the relationship between intestinal helminthiases and growth in urban slum schoolchildren. Children (n = 330) who received single doses of either pyrantel, albendazole, or placebo at baseline and again at 6 months were followed and examined fully at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months for helminth infections and anthropometry. Results of treatments indicated that all groups reduced their prevalence and intensity toward the period of the study. Reductions in intensity of both infections in the treatment groups were observed large in 3 and 12 months, whereas at 6 months reached mostly the initial level of infection. There was no significant difference in growth changes between the dewormed (once and twice) and the placebo groups. However, after controlling for some potential confounding factors, there was a significant relationship between reduction of A. lumbricoides infection and height gain at 3 and 12 months (both P < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant association between reduction in T. trichiura infection and increased midarm circumference at 3 and 12 months (P < 0.002 and P < 0.08, respectively). We conclude that treatment of helminth infections in school-age children may improve growth in areas where malnutrition and helminth infections are prevalent.

Correlation between the Life Style, Stress, and Leptin Level and the Obesity Status in Teachers of the State Secondary Schools in Makassar City

This research aimed to evaluate the correlation between the fast food intakes, the physical activities, smoking status, the stress levels, and leptin levels and the obesity status in the teachers of the state secondary schools in Makassar city. The design of the research was a cross-sectional study with 80 teachers as the research subjects, who were chosen using the simple random sampling technique. As for the obesity with the BMI indicator of Asia Pacific, the body weight was measured using camry digital scale of 0.1 and height was measured using Gea microtoice scale of 0.1. The variable of fast food was measured using FFQS, the variable of physical activity using Short IPAQ, the variable of stress level using the DASS, and the variable of the leptin level using the ELISA method. The data were analyzed using Spearman statistical correlation test. The research results showed that for univariate analysis, 61.2% of the subjects had obese I and 38.8% had obese II. Spearman bivariate correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between the fast food intake and the obesity incident (p=0.032), between the leptin level and the obesity incident (p=0.013). There was no significant correlation between the physical activity and the obesity incident (p=0.51), between smoking status and the obesity incident (p=0.30), and between the stress level and the obesity incident (p=0,30).

The Effect of Moringa Leaf Extract and Powder to Haemoglobin Concentration among Pregnant Women in Jeneponto Regency

Based on the initial study, the prevalence of anaemia in pregnant women reached 39.0%. This study aims to see the effect Moringa leaf (extract and powder) to haemoglobin concentration among pregnant women. This study is true experimental by using double-blind randomized control trial design (DB-RCT). The study conducted in six sub-districts located in Jeneponto District. Total 616 samples have been selected purposively and pregnant women with diseases were excluded. Samples were divided into three groups, Moringa leave powder (PG), Moringa leave extract (EG), and folic-iron (IG) and have been administered for 12-weeks. Samples dropped out were 92 with several reasons. Therefore, only 524 samples could be analysed at Endline study. There were no characteristic variables have statistically significant, the current study shows that the majority of household do not have trash can (81.9%). Overall, after intervention, haemoglobin concentration declined significantly from 11.36 to 10.71 (p<0.001). The highest decrease of haemoglobin concentration was in EG and followed by PG then IG (−0.83, -0.72, -0.41, respectively). Analysis of variance shows differences among groups particularly between EG and IG group (p=0.027). Furthermore, stratified analysis has been done as well to show changes in both anaemic (p=0.028) and nonanaemic group (0.276). Multivariate analysis conducted reveals there are four variables which contribute to Hb changes with the R2 value= 0.231 (p<0.001). This study conclude that Moringa leaves powder can be an alternative supplementation for the anaemia prevention among pregnant women.

Maternal Preconception Body Mass Index and Gestational Weight Gain: A Prospective Cohort Study Potentially to Prevent Low Birth Weight

Pregnancy is the most critical period of growth and development change. Low and high birth weight infant would be having in the future the risk of many health problems. Adequate gestational weight gain (GWG) based on preconception body mass index (BMI) is important for optimal birth weight infants. This study aimed to 1) assess the relationship between preconception BMI and totalGWG; 2) calculate proportion of mother who does not meet weight gain recommendation. The longitudinal prospective study conducted from February 2013 to June 2014. The total 37 preconception women enrolled as samples and only 18 samples can be measured for GWG in 3rd trimester. Exclusion criteria were: 1) no data weighing for more than 3 months, 2) no records of first day of last menstrual period (LMP), and 3) miscarriage. Data of GWG compared to weight gain recommendations based on preconception BMI issued by Institute of Medicine. Collected data were analyzed by using STATA v.11. T-test was used to analyze the mean differences of BMI among groups then regression analysis was operated to assess the RR of GWG and nutritional status. We found no significant associations between preconception BMI and GWG (p>0.05). Based on maternal nutritional status at preconception, the highest risk not reaching GWG recommendation were in underweight women in 3rd trimester (RR=1, 43 [95%CI: 1, 00-2, 06]) (p<0.05). The lower nutritional status the higher total GWG even most of maternal did not meet IOM recommendation. Therefore, underweight maternal be required to be treated properly to avoid adverse pregnant outcomes.
