This study was carried out to analyze the serum vitamin A / carotene concentration among Indonesian full term neonates in relation to maternal nutritional status and nutrients intake. One hundred and eight couples' (mothers + neonates) were recruited for the study. The serum vitamin A/carotene concentrate ion was determined by High Pressure Liquid Chromotography (HPLC) and Ultraviolet Absorbance/Spectrophotometric method (IVACG, 1982) and the dietary nutrient intake of the mothers was analyzed using a 2 day/24 hours recall method. Seventy one (67%) of the neonates were suffering from low vitamin A level ( (20 g/dl), the rest 35 (33%) were at an adequate vitamin A level (>20 / g/dl) and 13 (12%) of the mothers were suffering from low vitamin A level ( <20 /4g/di), the rest 95 (88%) were at an adequate vitamin A level. That mean serum vitamin A/carotene of the neonates was lower than those of their mothers. The mean serum vitamin A of the mothers was 30.7 ,wg/dl - v.53 and mean serum carotene of the mothers was 124.23g/dl - 49.66. The study concluded that there was no significant correlation between serum vitamin A of the neonates and serum vitamin A of their mothers (p } 0.1). It was found that? serum vitamin .A concentration and serum carotene of the mothers were positively correlated; also maternal serum carotene was positively related to serum carotene of the neonates. The beta-carotene intake, fat intake, protein intake were positively related to serum vitamin A of the mothers. Further investigation using larger numbers of samples and more controlled method was suggested to -scrutinize the influences of gestational age, dietary nutrients intake on the serum of vitamin A/carotene of the mothers. The study also pointed out the importance of providing .the pregnant mothers with sound information about nutrition in pregnancy.

Iron deficiency anemia is prevalent in Indonesia (38-71%), particularly among the pregnant women, despite of the large scale anemia control program launched by the government since 1970’s. The anemia control program included iron supplementation, nutrition education, food fortification, and parasite control. The results of the iron supplementation program is not yet as expected. Low compliance in taking iron pills was a reason suspected as the cause of the unexpected results. Several methods had been studied to increase the number of iron pills intake. However, the synthesis of hemoglobin is not only dependenton iron from the pills but also requires other blood forming nutrients from the diets. A two phase descriptive study was conducted to study the factors influencing the iron status of pregnant women in the second trimester participating in the National Anemia Control program in three subdistricts of Bogor district. The first phase was conducted for four weeks to obtain informations on hemoglobin and serum ferritin, socioeconomic condition, daily diet and nutrients intake, knowledge on anemia, on iron pills,and on Puskesmas Services, health behaviour, ante natal care attendance, and number of iron pills intake. The number of pregnant women joining the study was 456, they attended the ante natal care clinic of the Puskesmas of three subdistricts of the district of Bogor. The prevalence of anemia (Hb
