Abstract
The mother's nutritional status during pregnancy affects the critical development process of human embryology and impacts the anthropometric size of the baby at birth. An abnormal anthropometric measure is considered a sign of fetal failure to achieve optimal growth. This study was to determine the relationship between body mass index and maternal weight gain with the anthropometry of newborns. This type of research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted in Padang City from November 2021 – August 2022. The population in this study were all third-trimester pregnant women, with a sample size of 97 people. Sample selection was carried out by proportional stratified random sampling. The data were collected observationally by reviewing maternal and child health books and taking measurements of the newborn's anthropometry. The research data were analyzed using ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: Statistically, there was a significant relationship between body mass index and maternal weight gain with newborn weight (p=0.023, p=0.047). There was no significant relationship between body mass index and maternal weight gain with newborns' body length, head circumference, and abdomen circumference (p=0.408, p=0.622, p=0.387; p=0.064, p=0.228, p= 0.077). Conclusion: In Padang City, a significant relationship exists between body mass index, maternal weight gain, and newborns' weight. Improving maternal nutritional status may prevent fetal growth restriction and low birth weight babies at birth.
Biography
Adela Resa Putri, my friends call me Adel. I’m 25 years old. Now I am a midwifery student at Andalas University. As a student, I actively participate in webinars, workshops, and oral presentations at home and abroad. I have earned more than 20 certificates from these activities. and I also joined a lecturer research's projects and community service activities. I hope that in the future I can help reduce neonatal mortality in Indonesia through various preventive efforts, one of which is to improve maternal nutrition, like the research I am currently doing.
