The Body Size and Micronutrients Status Among the Bride-To Be in Probolinggo Districtof East Java
Abstract: Micronutrients
deficiency is prevalent among women in reproductive age, particularly in
developing countries, including in Indonesia. Small body size reflects a
chronic deficiency of nutrients intake. Both of those problems may correlate
each other and making maternal nutrition more complicated. Brides-to be are the
most important group of women in reproductive age who require better
recognition, because they will become mothers. This study was to describe
inter-correlation among anthropometric indices which reflected the maternal
body size and several indicators of micronutrient status. A cross sectional
study was conducted in selected sub-districts of Probolinggo District, East
Java Province year 2012. The samples size of 115 brides-to be were randomly selected
from list of brides-to be in Sub-district Office of Religious Affair. The
observed variables were body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), mid upper
arms circumference (MUAC), micronutrients status including concentration of
hemoglobin, serum ferritin, serum retinol and serum zinc. Pearson correlation
test was used to analyze data using SPSS for Window version 13.0. Result showed
that the average of body weight was 47,3 kg, average stature was 150,4 cm, BMI
was 20, MUAC was 25,3 cm. The average of hemoglobin level was 12,4 g/dL, serum
ferritin was 50,6 g/L, serum retinol level was 1,06 mol/L, and serum Zn level
was 12,9 mol/L. Statistical analisis showed significant correlation between the
body weight and hemoglobin concentration (r =0,25, p = 0,01) and serum retinol
(r = 0,21, p = 0,03); between BMI and hemoglobin concentration (r = 0,31, p =
0,00) and serum ferritin (r = 0,23, p = 0,03), and serum retinol (r = 0,21, p =
0,02); between MUAC and hemoglobin (r = 0,32, p = 0,00) and serum retinol (r = 0,24,
p = 0,02); between hemoglobin concentration and serum ferritin concentration (r
= 0,30, p = 0,00). Stature did not correlate with any indicators of
micronutrient. It implies that among the indices of body size, body weight and
BMI as well as MUAC are important indicators relating to iron status, and
vitamin A status, but not zinc status.
