Increasing levels of blood cholesterol is one of the risk factors for atherosclerosis. Currently, experts have been trying used herbal medicine as an alternative treatment of atherosclerosis. One of the highlights is the use of celery stalks. Celery is generally used as a flavouring dish. In addition, celery stalks are believed able to reduce cholesterol levels because they contain flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. This study was aim to determine the effect of celery stalk ethanol extract to reduce LDL an increase of HDL level in rats after fed high-fat diet. Randomized Post Test Only Control Group Design was used to measure the HDL and LDL blood serum levels of male Wistar (Rattus norvegicus) rats fed a high-fat diet. This study was used 27 male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into 3 groups; K1 was only given regular feed and water, K2 was given a high-fat diet and water, K3 was given a high-fat diet and celery stalk extract at a dose of 75mg/kg BW/day for 14 days. The data were analysed by ANOVA test and Tukey HSD test. The results of the ANOVA test showed a significance value of p-value of LDL = 0.000 and HDL p-value = 0.536. Celery stalk extract (Apium graviolens L) had an effect on decreasing LDL levels but not on increasing HDL blood serum levels of white Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) given high-fat diet.

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is defined as a baby's weight at birth of less than 2,500 grams. LBW can also have a long-term impact on the baby's life in the future, such as experiencing mental and physical disorders at the age of infant growth and development. Measurement of upper arm circumference (MUAC) can be used as an assessment of the nutritional status of pregnant women, including chronic energy deficiency (CED) if the size of the upper arm circumference (MUAC) is less than 23.5 cm in pregnant women. Maternal nutrition during pregnancy plays an important role, because the status of chronic energy deficiency (CED) before pregnancy affects fetal growth. Seeing from the description that has been described above, the researchers are interested in conducting research related to the relationship between low birth weight babies and upper arm circumference in Kutogirang Village, Ngoro Community Health Center, Mojokerto Regency. This research is an observational quantitative research using a cross sectional research design. The data analysis used in this research is Chi-Square. There is a significant relationship between low birth weight babies and maternal upper arm circumference in Kutogirang Village, the working area of the Ngoro Health Center, Mojokerto Regency in 2020. From the OR data it can be concluded that mothers with MUAC < 23.5 cm have a 19.33 times higher risk of having children with LBW than mothers with normal MUAC.
