Pangan yang difortifikasi zat gizi mikro pada ibu hamil meningkatkan perkembangan motorik bayi
Abstract: Many factors infl
uence the growth and development of an infant but nutrition was undeniably one
of the most important factors. One way to improve the nutritional status of
infants was by providing supplementary foods fortifi ed with multiple
micronutrients to mothers during pregnancy. Nutritional interventions during
pregnancy provided better nutrient reserves for mothers and fetus.
Objective: To analyze the impact of multi micronutrient-fortifi ed
supplementary foods provision in pregnant mothers on motor development and
anemia status of infants in three sub-districts of Bogor District namely:
Leuwiliang, Leuwisadeng and Ciampea.
Method: A total of 120 infants were followed up in a prospective cohort
study. The subjects were divided into three groups, i.e: 40 infants in fortifi
ed group (pregnant mothers received supplementary foods (vermicelli, milk and
biscuit) fortifi ed with multi-nutrients i.e. iron, iodine, zinc, folic acid,
vitamin C and vitamin A), 40 infants in non-fortifi ed groups (pregnant mothers
received non fortifi ed foods) and 40 infants in the control groups (pregnant
mothers did not receive any supplementary foods). Motor development was measured
by methods developed by the Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia. Hb was
measured by Cyanmethemoglobin method. Ancova and linear logistic regression
were used to analyze the data.
Results: Provision of multi micronutrient-fortifi ed supplementary foods
in pregnant mothers substantially improves infant’s motor development (77%
better than other groups). In addition, supplementation of multi
micronutrient-fortifi ed foods in pregnant mothers reduced the rate of
hemoglobin and hematocrit decline in infants up to the age of 6 months. There
were no infants aged 6 months with Hb < 90 g / L in the fortifi ed group,
while in the non-fortifi ed group and control group the prevalence of anemia
was 8.3% and 11.11%, respectively.
Conclusion: Provision of multi micronutrient-fortifi ed supplementary
foods in pregnant mothers improved infant’s motor development.
