Introduction: Anemia is a biggest health in the world. According to WHO the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 41,8%. Based on the results of Riskesdas that the proportion of anemia in pregnant women in 2013 was 37,1% and in 2018 of 48,9%. To prevent anemia, pregnant women are expected to get at least 90 iron tablets during pregnancy and consume iron-rich foods. Avocados have the nutrients of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, iron, folic acid, potassium, calories and fat. Iron in avocados is useful for the formation of red blood cells, preventing and treating anemia. Vitamin C helps to absorb iron and calcium Methods: This study aims to determine the effect of Fe + avocado juice (Persea Americana Mill) to haemoglobin levels of second trimester pregnant women in Suryani independent clinic of Medan Johor sub district in 2019. This type of research was Quasi Experiment with Pre Test and Post Test With Control Group Design. The population of this research was all 42 pregnant women with 30 purposive sampling techniques. Results and Discussion: Based on the collection and analysis of data with an average result of haemoglobin in second trimester pregnant women increased by 0,87 gr/dl in the intervention group and 0,8 gr/dl in the control group. There are significant differences between before and after treartment in the intervention group and the control group. In the intervention group and the control group before the treatment there can be no difference which means the data is homogeneous and after the treatment there can be no significant difference which means that Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected. Conclusion: Pregnant women who have Hb levels below normal may be given Fe tablets alone or can be combined to consume avocado juice.

BACKGROUND:The Indonesian Health Survey in 2010 reported that 68.3% of women aged 10-59 years old had a regular menstrual cycle in the past one year. Approximately 13.7% of the affected women experienced problem associated with irregular menstrual cycle. Irregular menstrual cycle may cause anxiety, heighten emotional sensitivity, and disturb daily activities in the affected women. Irregular menstrual cycle occurs due to imbalanced sexual hormone. This hormonal imbalance might be worsened by poor nutritional status. This study aimed to estimate the association between irregular menstrual cycle and body mass index. SUBJECT AND METHODS: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Sragen, Central Java. A sample of class IX secondary school (MTs) students in Kalijambe, Sragen, was selected at random for this study. The dependent variable was the menstrual cycle irregularity in the past 3 months. It was measured by a questionnaire. The independent variable was body mass index. The body weight was measured by a weight scale. The body height was measured by micro-toise. The association between study variables was estimated by Spearman correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Fifty percent of the sample had normal body weight, 43.8% were underweight, 6.3% were obese. As much as 12.5% of them had irregular menstrual cycle. There was a very weak and statistically nonsignificant correlation between body mass index and menstrual cycle irregularity (r=0.08; p=0.183). CONCLUSION: There was a very weak and statistically non-significant correlation between body mass index and menstrual cycle regularity.
