Prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation is associated with improved maternal gestational weight gain: A prospective longitudinal study in Parepare, Indonesia

The aim of the study was to assess the association between prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) intake levels and gestational weight gain (GWG) recommendations in pregnant women in Indonesia. The findings indicate that many women in Indonesia do not achieve adequate GWG. Ensuring the recommended MMS dose during pregnancy may improve nutrition status and increase the likelihood of adequate GWG. Thus, advice on the provision of MMS consumption and appropriate GWG should be part of antenatal care services for all pregnant women.
