Abstract

Adolescence is a golden period with optimal growth and development. At this time, teenagers have very important physical and psychological needs. Moreover, if there is malnutrition, one of the problems is anemia. Anemia is a global public health problem that affects adolescent girls, women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and children in developed and developing countries. This study aims to analyze the correlation between inhibitor and enhancer consumption and anemia in adolescent girls. This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Semarang City. Early adolescents ages 10 – 15 years old, and fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected using a questionnaire. Consumption of inhibitors and enhancers of iron was measured using a semi-qualitative food frequency questionnaire. Anemia status was measured using a digital hemoglobin meter device. The Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to analyze the research data. The result of this study shows there is no significant correlation between the consumption of inhibitors and enhancers of iron toward anemia status among adolescent girls with p-values 0.158 and 0.744 α (CI:95%) respectively. Adolescents should be concerned about what they consume, and information about what food can enhance and obstruct iron should be socialized so they can wiser to reduce consuming inhibitors and increase consumption enhancers of iron.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition in which children experience delayed growth and development due to poor nutrition, recurrent infections, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. The prevalence of children under 5 affected by stunting in 2020 is 22.3% or 148.1 million children worldwide. The analytical case-control study was conducted to explore the prevalence of child stunting and determine the association between birth weight and stunting occurrence among children under 5 years. It shows statistically significant with a p-value of 0.009 (p-value < 0.05). A history of birth weight <2500 gr babies have a 3,660 times greater risk of experiencing stunting compared to children under 5 who were born with birth weight ≥2500 gr (CI=95%). There was a significant association between birth weight and stunting incidence among children under 5 years.

Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a global public health issue that affects nutritional status and future reproductive outcomes. Adolescents with anemia are at higher risk of delivering stunted offspring, making anemia prevention essential in breaking the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with anemia among adolescent girls as an effort to prevent stunting. This cross-sectional study was conducted at SMPTQ Pangeran Diponegoro, Semarang, from August to December 2023. A total of 92 female students aged 10–15 years who met the inclusion criteria were selected using total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and physical measurements, including hemoglobin levels, BMI, MUAC, and dietary intake. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests (α = 0.05). The prevalence of anemia was 25%. Menstrual duration was significantly related to anemia (p = 0.041; RR = 2.188). Other factors (BMI, MUAC, breakfast habits) were not significant. Menstrual duration was significantly associated with anemia among adolescent girls. School-based anemia screening and nutrition education are recommended to prevent anemia and future stunting.
