Abstract

Adolescence is a transitional period that is vulnerable to the emergence of risky behaviors, such as smoking, promiscuity, and lack of health concern. These behaviors can negatively impact adolescent growth and development physically, mentally, and socially. This community service activity aims to increase knowledge and awareness regarding preventing risky behaviors through a health education program for students of SMPN 23, Padang City. The activity methods include preparation and problem identification stages, coordination with partners, and implementation stages, including interactive counseling, group discussions, and distribution of leaflets and promotional banners. The first day of education targeted all students in grades VII and VIII of SMPN 23 Padang. On the second day, education focused on members of the Adolescent Health Cadre (KKR) and the Student Council (OSIS), totaling 27 people. Evaluation was carried out with pre-tests and post-tests to measure the increase in knowledge. The activity results showed a significant increase in the average knowledge score of the cadre students (77.78 to 94.07). In addition, the students showed enthusiasm and active involvement throughout the activity. This educational activity was successfully implemented smoothly and brought about an increase in knowledge among students, KKR cadres, and OSIS. Cadre students understand their role and are expected to be able to serve as peer educators when their peers encounter health issues or risky behavior. Similar activities, involving teachers and parents, need to be implemented continuously to optimize risky behavior prevention.

Abstract

Background: Maternal obesity is associated with disrupted metabolic regulation, including elevated leptin levels that may affect fetal growth. Previous studies have reported mixed findings on maternal and cord blood leptin concentrations, with some showing higher leptin levels in infants born to obese mothers, while others found no significant differences. Associations between maternal obesity and neonatal outcomes have also been inconsistent. This study aims to generate new evidence from an Indonesian cohort by comparing maternal and cord blood leptin levels, as well as neonatal outcomes, between obese and normal-weight mothers.Materials and Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study enrolled 30 obese and 30 normal-weight mothers from two hospitals in Padang, Indonesia. Maternal and cord blood samples were collected at delivery, and leptin levels were measured using ELISA. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. Neonatal outcomes included birth weight, length, head circumference, and ponderal index. Data were analyzed using Independent Samples t-test or Mann–Whitney U test, with p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Maternal leptin levels were significantly higher in obese mothers than in normal-weight mothers (70.8±39.0 vs. 44.5±42.5 ng/mL; p=0.002). Cord blood leptin levels did not differ between groups (19.7±14.9 vs. 16.1±17.5 ng/mL; p=0.394). Neonates of obese mothers had higher birth weight (p=0.003), while other anthropometric measures were similar.Conclusion: Maternal obesity was associated with elevated maternal leptin levels and increased neonatal birth weight, while cord blood leptin did not differ significantly between groups. These findings suggest that maternal leptin reflects maternal metabolic status rather than fetal growth.Keywords: maternal leptin, cord blood leptin, obesity, pregnancy, neonatal outcome
