Suplementasi multi mikronutrien dibandingkan Fe-asam folat terhadap kadar hemoglobin dan berat badan ibu hamil anemia
Abstract: As
a part of global strategy to prevent micronutrient deficiency in pregnant
mothers, UNICEF recommends the use of multi-micronutrients supplements as an
initial program in developing countries. Therefore, it is necessary to
investigate the effect of multi-micronutrient supplementation on Hb level and
weight gain of anemic pregnant women in Lombok Tengah District.
Objective: To investigate the effect of multi-micronutrient compared to
Fe – folic acid supplementation on Hb level and weight gain of anemic pregnant
mothers.
Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with non equivalent control
group design. Subjects in the intervention group were given multi-micronutrient
supplements provided by UNICEF, whereas subjects in the control group were
given Fe – folic acid supplements. The supplements were given daily to the two
groups for 91 days. Hb level and weight were measured before and after
intervention.
Results: Statistical analysis showed no significant differences (p=0.96)
in Hb level and weight gain (p=0.454) between the two groups. The increase of
Hb level and weight in the intervention group vs control group were 0,53±0,95
g/dL vs 0,89±1,15 g/dL and 4,89±2,71 kg vs 4,32±1,75 kg, respectively.
Conclusion: There were no significant differences in Hb level and weight
gain between pregnant mothers consuming multi-micronutrient supplements
compared to those consuming Fe – folic acid supplements.
