As many as 638 pregnant women had been followed since first examination until delivery. At the first trimester, most of pregnant women (53.8%) were categorized as normal nutritional status (BMI 19.8-26); underweight (BMI <19.8) 40%; and overweight (BMI > 26.01) 6.2%. The accretion of pregnant women body weight was relatively higher in high socio-economic status rather than low socio-economic status. The prevalence of low birth weight was higher among mothers from low socio-economic status. It is important for pregnant women to pay attention on her nutritional status in the early pregnancy and the accretion of body weight.

This study used the Systematic Literature Review method to summarize evidence regarding the potential of selenium as an anti-aging agent. It was conducted in April and May 2023. The initial stage was to identify research questions consisting of PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcome). The population involved adults and intervened with selenium, did not use a comparator, and used non-epigenetic biomarker outcomes, namely telomere length and DNA damage which reflect aging-related changes at the genome and cellular level. The reviews were obtained from various countries, including Sweden, France, the United States, Australia, and Brazil. The research subjects used were also diverse and at wide intervals, ranging from young people (20-30 years) to adults (> 70 years). A total of 4 of the 7 studies used a cross-...

The research subjects used were also diverse and at wide intervals, ranging from young people (20-30 years) to adults (> 70 years). A total of 4 of the 7 studies used a cross-sectional study scheme, 1 case-control, and 2 used an experimental design. Adequate selenium intake can potentially affect telomere length and telomere length maintenance. However, the relationship between selenium and telomere length can be affected by other factors, such as the individual's age and health conditions. Selenium intake may be an important factor in maintaining telomere length and preventing age-related diseases. Selenium supplementation may be beneficial for people with low selenium levels or who are at risk of age-related diseases. Further research is needed to confirm the findings of this study and to determine the optimal dose of selenium for maintaining telomere length.
