Abstract

Background: Adolescents in Indonesia experience a dual burden of malnutrition. Body image perception during adolescence can contribute to unhealthy eating behaviors. However, limited evidence exists regarding body image and its association with nutritional status in Indonesia’s island communities. This study analyzes differences in body image perception and nutritional status by gender, age group, and Body Mass Index (BMI) among adolescents in Sangihe District, Indonesia Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2025 to March 2026 and included 787 adolescents aged 10–18 years, selected through convenience sampling from accessible schools across the island. Result: Most respondents exhibited normal nutritional status (68.7%), while 23.6% were overweight and 7.6% were underweight. No significant differences were observed in body image scores (p=0.731) or BAZ values (p=0.831) between males and females. A significant difference in body image scores was found between the puberty and post-puberty age groups (p=0.013). No significant differences in body image scores were identified across nutritional categories (p=0.866). Conclusion: In this island context, puberty appears to be a more influential factor in body image than gender or nutritional status. These findings underscore the importance of holistic,developmentally sensitive, and gender-inclusive health promotion programs tailored to the unique context of adolescents on Indonesian islands.

Abstract

Screening for soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection in preschoolers living in endemic regions demands a multimodal approach that incorporates fecal examination, child-targeted educational games, and parental involvement. This descriptive study involved children attending PAUD 3 Bahasa Biji Sesawi, Tahuna, Sangihe Islands on October 1, 2025. Eight children aged 3–6 years participated in this integrated intervention, which consisted of multimodal education through chants, visual quizzes, video watching, hands-on practice for handwashing technique, parasitological examination using the flotation method, and parental education. Post-intervention assessment showed a significant increase in the percentage of children performing the six-step handwashing technique correctly, from 25% to 87.5%. The percentage of parents categorized as having good knowledge also increased from 37.5% to 87.5%. Of the small number of samples examined, the positivity rate of the parasitological examination for hookworm eggs was 12.5 %. This study implies that the incorporation of parasitological observations as part of health education interventions for preschoolers could be used as a behavior modification trigger, despite operating under limited facilities. The approach is feasible as a pilot model of integrated hygiene education intervention for preschoolers that shares epidemiological characteristics
