Abstract

Background: Knowledge and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels are important factors in the prevention of metabolic diseases, particularly prediabetes. Adolescents, as a vulnerable age group, often pay limited attention to nutritional information on food packaging, thereby increasing the risk of unhealthy dietary behaviors. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels and the incidence of prediabetes among adolescents aged 16–18 years. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 62 adolescents aged 16–18 years in Weleri, selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments included questionnaires assessing knowledge of nutrition facts labels and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels, as well as random blood glucose testing to determine prediabetes status. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The findings showed that most respondents had poor knowledge of nutrition facts labels (54.8%) and poor attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels (56.5%). The prevalence of prediabetes among adolescents in this study was 53.2%. There was a significant association between knowledge level (OR = 0.047; 95% CI = 0.013–0.172; p = 0.000) and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels (OR = 0.021; 95% CI = 0.005–0.096; p = 0.000) and the incidence of prediabetes among adolescents. Conclusion: The Chi-square test results demonstrated a significant relationship between knowledge of nutrition facts labels and the incidence of prediabetes (p = 0.000), as well as between attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels and the incidence of prediabetes (p = 0.000).

Abstract

The phenomenon of prediabetes is increasingly being found in adolescents. Prediabetes in adolescents can cause various negative impacts both in the short and long term. Limited knowledge regarding nutrition and high consumption of sugary drinks are strongly related to the high number of prediabetes cases among adolescents. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and capacity of adolescents through empowering adolescent nutrition ambassadors and peer education in prediabetes prevention efforts. The activity was carried out at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri in two forms: intensive training for 8 adolescent nutrition ambassadors, and peer education by adolescent nutrition ambassadors to 78 other students using interactive educational methods, simulations, demonstrations, practice, and discussions. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests in each session. The results showed that there was an increase in adolescent knowledge and skills after the activity. The conclusion of this activity is that adolescent empowerment through intensive nutrition ambassador training and peer education is effective in increasing adolescent knowledge and skills as a strategy for preventing prediabetes.
