Abstract

The purpose of this program is to increase the understanding of mothers under five and posyandu cadres about the benefits of cassava as an alternative source of carbohydrates and to introduce high-protein cassava noodle formulations that can be produced independently at the household level. The object of the activity includes the Team PKK Pokja 4, Posyandu Cadre, and Health cadres in partner villages. In addition, the advocacy for processing cassava noodles based on high-protein local foods was developed as an effort to fulfill the nutritional needs of toddlers through Supplementary Feeding (PMT), which is easily accepted by the community and supports family food security. The methods used include a participatory approach through family nutrition socialization, cassava noodle processing demonstrations, and targeted group discussions to explore community perceptions and needs. Data was collected through observations, brief interviews, and product acceptance assessments. Advocacy is applied by providing training in the processing of cassava noodles with 30% theoretical and 70% practical. Appropriate Technology/TTG is downstreamed to participants in the hope that the knowledge gained can be sustainable. The results of the activity showed that high-protein cassava noodles were well received by mothers under five because they were considered a nutritious dietary supplement variation, easy to make, and used affordable local ingredients. Posyandu cadres also expressed their readiness to integrate this innovation into the routine PMT menu. It is recommended that the production of cassava noodles be facilitated through advanced training, support for simple tools, and collaboration with PKK and local food UMKM to ensure its sustainability. In addition, it is necessary to conduct a more comprehensive nutritional content test and monitoring of the impact on the nutritional status of toddlers to strengthen the scientific basis of the program.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic risk factors that may increase the risk of noncommunicable diseases. This study aimed to describe metabolic syndrome risk factors among workers at Maju Jaya Garment Factory in Ungaran, Semarang Regency. This descriptive study involved 20 workers aged 29–67 years. Data included respondents’ characteristics, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, nutrient intake, and physical workload. The results showed that 75% of respondents were overweight, 65% had central obesity, 40% had high blood pressure, and 70% had above-normal blood glucose levels. Most respondents had inadequate energy and macronutrient intake and light physical workloads. Furthermore, 35% of respondents met all three metabolic risk indicators assessed, namely central obesity, elevated blood pressure, and elevated blood glucose levels. These findings indicate a considerable burden of metabolic risk factors among workers, highlighting the need for promotive and preventive efforts through nutrition education, increased physical activity, and regular health monitoring.   ABSTRAK Sindrom metabolik merupakan kumpulan faktor risiko metabolik yang dapat meningkatkan risiko penyakit tidak menular. Penelitian ini bertujuan menggambarkan faktor risiko sindrom metabolik pada tenaga kerja di Konveksi Maju Jaya Ungaran, Kabupaten Semarang. Penelitian deskriptif ini melibatkan 20 tenaga kerja berusia 29–67 tahun. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi karakteristik responden, IMT, lingkar pinggang, tekanan darah, kadar gula darah, asupan zat gizi, dan beban kerja fisik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 75% responden mengalami gizi lebih, 65% obesitas sentral, 40% tekanan darah tinggi, dan 70% memiliki kadar gula darah di atas normal. Sebagian besar responden mengalami defisit asupan energi dan zat gizi makro serta memiliki beban kerja fisik ringan. Sebanyak 35% responden memenuhi ketiga indikator risiko metabolik yang dinilai, yaitu obesitas sentral, tekanan darah meningkat, dan kadar gula darah meningkat. Temuan ini menunjukkan adanya beban faktor risiko metabolik pada tenaga kerja yang memerlukan upaya promotif dan preventif melalui edukasi gizi, peningkatan aktivitas fisik, dan pemantauan kesehatan secara berkala.
