Abstract

Newborn weight is an important predictor of the growth and survival of infants. Low birth weight affects newborns at risk of experiencing health problems and the risk of death Women in developing countries experience many pregnancies with malnutrition, and exposure to cigarette smoke can reduce micronutrient deficiencies. Exposure to cigarette smoke damages the health of pregnant women and their fetuses. Vitamin D is a micronutrient that supports every stage of pregnancy, the placenta, and the fetus to achieve a healthy pregnancy. This study aims to determine the association of secondhand smoke exposure during pregnancy and umbilical cord blood vitamin d levels with newborn weight. This research is a quantitative analytic observational study with a Cross-Sectional Study design. This research was conducted at Hermina Padang Hospital. The time of research was carried out from 14 December 2022 to 10 January 2023. The population in this study were all mothers who gave birth at Hermina Hospital. The sampling technique uses non-probability sampling. The number of samples in this study was 55 samples. Data analysis using the ANOVA test. The study results showed a significant mean difference between the level of exposure to cigarette smoke and birth weight. This can be seen from the p-value <0.05 (p=0.002) and no significant difference in the average blood vitamin D levels. Umbilical cord with birth weight, can be seen from the p-value>0.05 (p=0.484) at Hermina Padang Hospital. It is recommended that health workers provide counseling about exposure to cigarette smoke to pregnant women and mothers to pay attention to meeting the needs of vitamin D during pregnancy.  Keywords:  Newborn Weight, Secondhand Smoke Exposure, Vitamin D , Newborn Weight

Abstract

Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in Hemoglobin (HB), a serious global public health problem especially affecting children and pregnant women. This study aimed to determine differences in the effect of giving Fe tablets and capsules of Moringa leaves on hepcidin and ferritin levels in anaemic pregnancy rats. This research was an experimental study with a randomized post-test-only control group design. This research was conducted at the Animal House of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University to maintain and treat experimental animals. Ferritin and Hepcidin examinations were carried out at the biomedical laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University. The sample in this study were female white rats (Rattus Novergicus) which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data were analyzed using One Way Anova. The results of this study indicated that the mean hepcidin levels in the Fe (P1) and Moringa leaf capsule (P2) groups were 181.902 ± 20.31 and 216.362 ± 29.90 with a p-value of 0.006 . The mean ferritin levels in the Fe(P1) and Moringa leaf capsule (P2) groups were 1.928 ± 0.263 and 2.308 ± 0.320 with a p-value of 0.004. The conclusion in this study was that there was an effect on hepcidin levels after being given Fe tablets (P1) and Moringa leaf capsules (P2) to anemic pregnant rats and there was an effect on ferritin levels after being given Fe tablets (P1) and Moringa leaf capsules (P2) to anemic pregnant rats Keyword: Anemic, Ferritin, Fe Tablets, Hepcidin, Moringa Leaf Capsules
