INTRODUCTION

• Orang Asli (OA) women in Negeri Sembilan in2009, the maternal mortality rate was reportedto be 35.7 per 100,000 live births which wasabout 30% higher than the national rate.

• Based on the National Obstetrics RegistryPreliminary Report of National ObstetricsRegistry (July-Dec 2009), the prevalence ofanaemia in pregnancy among the OA womenwas 32.7%3. This is probably attributed by thelower socio-economic background leading topoor dietary intake and resulting in poor bodyiron stores.

3

Rationale of the study:

• Knowledge and practice of balanced diet

play an important part in the well being of the

pregnant mothers especially in the

marginalised OA population.

• One of the objectives of this study is to

compare the knowledge and practice of

balanced diet intake among the rural and

fringe OA women in Peninsular Malaysia

FINDINGS: PHASE 1

The findings of Phase 1 were presented in theNational Steering Committee in December 2014

Response rate 80.2% with 441 respondentseach for rural and fringe community.

The knowledge of protein-based food e.g.meat/chicken for both the fringe and ruralrespondents were not significantly different(70.5%, 71.1%; p=0.881).

Awareness on anaemia in pregnancy is48.5% (rural) and 40.3% (fringe) (p=0.019)

10

The actual practice of protein-based food e.g.meat/chicken intake was significantly different withthe rural respondents (31.1%) take less ofprotein-based food on daily basis as compared tothe fringe (62%) respondents (p<0.001).

Seafood intake for the rural respondents was low(4.1%) whilst fringe respondents’ intake wasmuch higher (18.2%)

The knowledge of fruit as part of balanced diet forboth fringe and rural respondents wererespectively at 73.5% and 62.7% (p<0.01). Thepractice of fruit intake on daily basis in rural wassignificantly lower as compared to fringe group(25.9%, 42.4%, p<0.001).

11

• Even though both groups of knowledge

levels are similar, less rural respondents

take meat/chicken and fruits as compared

to the fringe respondents. This might be due

to scarcity of both food groups at the rural

setting.

• Lack of financial means may contribute to

lower consumption of balance diet food as

they can be considered as quite pricey

especially in the interior/remote setting.

12

The food sourcepattern for the ruralcommunity ischanging as theyare now lessdependent onhunting and theysell agriculturalproduce e.g.banana topurchase rice forconsumption.

To improve thenutritional intakeamong the OAwomen, it isimperative to tacklethe root problemof poverty amongthe community withinter-agency effortfrom thegovernment andnon-governmentalbodies.

Increasing financialmeans of thecommunity willleads to biggerpurchasing powerfor the OA and thus,their ability topurchase morehealthy andbalanced- food forthe family members.
