Abstract

Orofacial cleft (OFC) is one of the most common congenital malformations in the world and Indonesia. The causes of OFC are complex, including both intrinsic (genetic) and extrinsic (environmental and behavioral) risk factors. Some studies found that there was an association between folic acid supplementation and the risk of OFC. However, studies on the effect of folic acid supplementation for OFC in Indonesia are lacking. This study aims to analyze the association of folic acid supplementation during early pregnancy with an orofacial cleft in children in Kupang City. The study was a retrospective case-control study was carried out, with a multistage sampling method including 57 participants. We examined the risk of OFC with folic acid supplementation during early pregnancy. Chi-square analysis was used in the study. The results showed that there was a significant association between folic acid use during early pregnancy and the incidence of OFC with a p-value = 0.000 (OR=20,0). Folic acid supplementation during early pregnancy can reduce the risk of OFC in children.

Abstract

Pesticides are the most widely used chemicals to control pests and diseases in Indonesia, especially in plantations, including oil palm plantations. Exposure to pesticides can cause health problems and death. One of the most common health problems caused by exposure to pesticides is contact dermatitis. This research was an analytic observational with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted in oil palm plantations in Banyuasin Regency in April - October 2016, with a sample of 60 respondents; the samples were taken randomly. The results of the analysis found contact dermatitis (62%), incomplete use of personal protective equipment (58.3%), eating/drinking/smoking during application (61.7%), and not decontaminating after exposure to pesticides (76.7%). Statistical test results showed that length of work, respiratory exposure, use of personal protective equipment, and decontamination after spraying were associated with contact dermatitis (p v < 0.05). Workers cause contact dermatitis after spraying, not cleaning the body, and not using personal protection completely and according to standards. Therefore, companies must provide a special room for cleaning the body, and personal protective equipment must be available completely and according to standards.
