Majalah Demografi Indonesia
|December 1, 1992
Summary
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) are key social development indicators. This study reveals significant regional disparities in Indonesia
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Demography
- Socioeconomics
Context:
- Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) are crucial indicators of social development.
- Indonesia faces challenges in reducing these mortality rates, reflecting broader societal issues.
Purpose:
- To review the current situation of IMR and MMR in Indonesia.
- To analyze trends and regional inequalities in infant and maternal mortality using diverse data.
Summary:
- The study highlights significant interregional inequalities in mortality trends.
- Analysis of IMR and MMR data reveals substantial differentials across Indonesian regions.
Impact:
- Findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address regional health disparities.
- Understanding these inequalities is vital for improving public health strategies and social development policies in Indonesia.

00:55Parental Care
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.
01:22Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...
01:20Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...

01:28Development of the Oral Microbiota
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
