Relationship between iron inhibitor and enhancer consumption and hemoglobin levels in third trimester pregnant women in Pariaman City in 2016

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a condition in which the hemoglobin levels in the blood below normal. Anemia is the most common, especially in pregnant women is anemia due to iron deficiency. Anemia in the third trimester pregnant women are caused by many factors, namely the direct, indirect and basic. Directly anemia caused by frequent consumption of iron absorption inhibitors, promoters consume less non-heme iron absorption and the presence of parasitic infection. Therefore, researchers interested in conducting research with the aim to determine the relationship Consumption inhibitors and enhancers Iron with Hemoglobin In Third Trimester Pregnancy In Kota Pariaman 2016. Methods: Research that has been done is descriptive analytic cross-sectional study design, in which the independent and dependent variables were measured at the same time. The population in this study were pregnant women in the third trimester of Pariaman, amounting to 139 people and the sample size is 66 people. The sample was selected by stratified random sampling technique. Processing data using univariate and bivariate analysis with simple linear regression statistical test with a confidence level of 95%.. Findings: The results of the research that has been done is the consumption inhibitor with a hemoglobin level of third trimester pregnant women showed a strong relationship (r =0.545) and negatively patterned. Consumption enhancer with hemoglobin levels of pregnant women showed a connection was the third trimester (r = 0.489) and a positive pattern. The test results obtained statistically significant association between the consumption of inhibitors and enhancers of iron with hemoglobin levels of pregnant women third trimester (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The higher the consumption inhibitor, the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women will be low. Conversely, the higher the consumption enhancer maternal hemoglobin levels higher. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides new insights into specific dietary patterns affecting anemia in third-trimester pregnant women, particularly regarding the impact of iron absorption inhibitors and enhancers.
