Abstract

Purpose: Indonesia faces a persistent double burden of malnutrition (DBM), in which undernutrition and overnutrition coexist within populations. Although national stunting rates have declined, other nutritional challenges persist across provinces, with moderate-to-high rates indicating a complex nutritional transition. This study aims to identify individual, household, and contextual factors influencing the DBM among children in the same household and to provide evidence-based recommendations for region-specific, sustainable interventions. Methods: Using cross-sectional data from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) 2024, we analyzed 0-59-month-old children using multilevel logistic regression. Progressive models examined individual, household, and contextual (district or provincial) determinants of DBM, defined as the coexistence of undernutrition and overnutrition within households. Results: The prevalence of household-level DBM was 0.08%. In adjusted models, residing in Java–Bali was associated with significantly lower odds of DBM (OR = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.27–0.57). Children without birth certificates had significantly higher odds of experiencing DBM (OR=1.70; 95% CI: 1.48–1.95). Exclusive breastfeeding was associated with lower odds of DBM (OR = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.48–0.61). Households having more than one child under five showed substantially higher odds of DBM (OR = 3.30; 95% CI: 2.93–3.71), and district-level DBM remained a strong contextual predictor (OR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.66–2.45). At the contextual level, the district-level DBM index remained strong contextual predictor. Conclusion: Household-level DBM among children in Indonesia exists but remains rare, yet it signals emerging intra-household nutritional inequalities and complexity. Key determinants include household structure, exclusive breastfeeding, birth certificate ownership, region disparities, and district-level contextual factors. These findings highlight the need for integrated, multilevel interventions that address both undernutrition and overnutrition, particularly in vulnerable households and underserved areas.

Abstract

Dental caries and periodontal disease are common oral diseases associated with dental plaque accumulation, particularly on interproximal surfaces that are difficult to clean by toothbrushing alone. Dental floss helps remove plaque from these areas. This study aimed to identify factors associated with dental floss use among adults in DKI Jakarta. An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted among 480 adults. Data were collected using an online questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics, dental floss knowledge, and oral hygiene practices. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. Most respondents were aged 18–25 years (71.7%). Although 90.4% brushed their teeth twice daily, only 18.8% followed the recommended brushing schedule. Toothpicks were used by 43.1% of respondents, while 5.2% used sharp objects for food debris removal. Despite 64.8% having good dental floss knowledge, only 38.8% had ever used dental floss and 6.7% used it regularly. Age, income, toothbrushing practices, dental visits, and dental floss knowledge were significantly associated with floss use. Regular dental floss use among adults in DKI Jakarta remains low, therefore, education and professional guidance on interdental cleaning practices are needed to improve preventive behaviors at oral and dental diseases.
