Abstract

Background: Meeting the nutritional needs of children is crucial for optimal growth and development. Children aged 2-5 years are in the preoperational stage, characterized by egocentric and intuitive thinking. Nutritional deficiencies can negatively impact their development, including cognitive abilities and learning capacity. Research worldwide has extensively studied the relationship between nutritional status and children's development, emphasizing the importance of proper nutrition for motor, speech, and behavioral skills essential for learning. This narrative review presents the results of relevant research from various countries on the relationship between nutritional status and the development of children aged 2-5 years in terms of motor skills, speech, and behavior. Methods: This review is a narrative review of relevant articles from the last decade, focusing on the discussion of the cognitive development process of children and its relationship to nutritional status. Results: Several studies have linked nutritional status with overall development, while some have specifically focused on motor or cognitive development. Although most results indicate a relationship between nutritional status and the development of children aged 2-5 years, the observed developmental levels and achievements are not entirely conclusive. Child development is also influenced by external factors. Conclusion: A total of 11 articles from 18 articles stated that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and children’s cognitive development.

Abstract

Anemia is a global health problem characterized by low hemoglobin and ferritin levels due to iron deficiency, which affects growth, cognition, and disease risk, particularly in children and women of reproductive age. Local food–based nutritional interventions such as skipjack tuna (heme iron), spinach (non-heme iron), and dadih (probiotics) have the potential to provide synergistic effects in improving iron status. This study aimed to determine the effect of cookies made from a combination of skipjack tuna flour and spinach with the addition of dadih probiotics on serum ferritin levels, as well as the effectiveness of Sodium Nitrite (NaNO₂) in decreasing ferritin and hemoglobin levels as indicators of anemia. The study used a Post-Test Only Control Group design with 36 female Wistar rats induced with anemia using NaNO₂ at a dose of 25 mg/200 g BW for 18 days, then divided into six treatment groups for 28 days. Ferritin levels were measured using the ELISA method. The results showed that administering cookies made from the combination of skipjack tuna flour and spinach with dadih probiotics significantly increased ferritin levels (P=0.000) compared to the control and single-ingredient groups. NaNO₂ was proven effective as an anemia-inducing agent. This combined cookie formulation has the potential to improve serum ferritin levels.

Abstract

Introduction: Increasing levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia) are associated with the incidence of obesity. Abdominal circumference and body mass index are commonly used indicators for obesity. This study aims to determine the description of abdominal circumference, body mass index, and uric acid levels in the staff of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University. Methods: This descriptive study used a cross-sectional design. A total of 41 research subjects from the secondary data obtained were staff at the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University. The data consisted of age, sex, abdominal circumference, height, weight, and uric acid. The data was processed to see the frequency distribution of the research variables using univariate analysis. Results: The results of this study found that more than half of the research subjects were female, namely 28 (68.3%), and were in the age range of 26-45 years (65.9%). The study subjects who were categorized as central obesity and overweight were 65.85% and 73.17%, respectively. However, most of the research subjects had normal uric acid levels (82.93%).

Abstract

Konsumsi air yang cukup sesuai rekomendasi berperan penting bagi fungsi kognitif dan kesehatan anak. Akan tetapi, masih dijumpai anak sekolah dasar yang belum memahami manfaat mencukupi kebutuhan air tubuh. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan menilai sekaligus meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang hidrasi pada siswa kelas 4 dan 5 di sekolah dasar full day berbasis alam. Mitra program adalah SDIT Alam Ar-Royyan di Kota Padang. Metode yang digunakan berupa edukasi interaktif selama tiga sesi selama tiga minggu. Setiap sesi diawali pengarahan dan pre-test, dilanjutkan penyampaian materi melalui media audio visual, permainan, serta tanya jawab. Post-test dan penguatan materi dilaksanakan dua hari setelahnya. Instrumen penilaian menggunakan kuesioner cetak dan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Sebanyak dua puluh tiga siswa mengikuti pertemuan pertama, dengan tujuh belas siswa menyelesaikan seluruh rangkaian program. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan yang bermakna yaitu sebesar 96,1% siswa mengalami kenaikan skor pengetahuan dan 76,5% berpengetahuan “baik”. Ukuran kelompok yang kecil mendukung interaksi, fokus, dan umpan balik yang lebih personal. Hambatan utama adalah penjadwalan dan ketidakhadiran sebagian siswa. Penetapan jadwal melalui nota kesepahaman dengan bagian kurikulum, pelibatan orang tua dan guru melalui diskusi kelompok terarah, serta pemantauan kebiasaan minum harian di kelas diperlukan untuk keberlanjutan program.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the integrated maternal, environmental, and biological predictors of child linear growth (Height-for-Age Z-score; HAZ) and cranial growth (Head Circumference; HC) at age six in a longitudinal Indonesian cohort. A prospective cohort study followed 120 mother-child pairs in West Sumatra from the first trimester of pregnancy (2017) through age six (2023). Data were collected on maternal nutrient intake (SQ-FFQ), Vitamin D status (serum 25(OH)D), physical activity, and environmental conditions. Integrated multiple linear regression models were constructed to determine independent predictors, adjusted for maternal education and prepregnancy BMI. In the final integrated models, child HAZ at age six was significantly predicted by maternal first-trimester energy intake (β = 0.0006, p = 0.006), maternal height (p = 0.012), and child energy intake (p = 0.005). Cranial growth (HC) was primarily predicted by birth weight (β=0.0011, p=0.004) and maternal physical activity index (p=0.031). Maternal Vitamin D sufficiency (≥30 ng/mL) in the first trimester showed higher mean HAZ and HC compared to deficient levels (<20 ng/mL), although these differences were not statistically significant. The findings indicate that early pregnancy may be an important period for establishing growth trajectories, shaped by maternal nutritional status and environmental conditions. These observations support the potential value of strengthening pre-conception and early pregnancy care, including nutritional optimization and access to safe water; however, further studies are required to confirm these patterns and inform targeted interventions in West Sumatra.
