Abstract

Providing breast milk to babies has a direct impact on the nutritional status and health of children. The various benefits provided by breastfeeding for mothers and children affect the child's immunity, nutrition, body and psychological status. Breastfeeding mothers must pay attention to several things to improve the quality and quantity of their breast milk, one of which is by consuming vegetables as galactogogues which are relatively safe to use. Synthetic galactogogue drugs are known to have side effects if consumed long term. The aim of this research is to determine the benefits of medicinal plants as galactagogues to increase breast milk production as an effort to achieve exclusive breast milk in realizing the Golden Generation 2045. The research method was carried out experimentally using medicinal plants, namely Moringa oleifera leaves, Musa paradisiaca, and Sauropus androgynous L. consisting of 3 groups that were given treatment, while the control group was not given treatment. Data was taken using direct measurements of the amount of breast milk production of respondents in both groups receiving intervention I (Moringa Leaves), Intervention II (Banana Heart), Intervention III (Katuk Leaves) and in the Control group. Then the results The research was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test. The results of the study show that there is a difference in breast milk production in the intervention group and the control group with a p-value of 0.046 (<0.05). Thus, in the future, this research will be able to contribute to optimizing breast milk production as a first step in preventing various health problems, especially stunting and wasting, so that a golden generation can be realized.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent girls are vulnerable to anemia due to increased iron needs during menstruation and often inadequate dietary intake. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between compliance with Iron Tablet (TTD) consumption and macronutrient intake with the incidence of anemia in female students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at SMAN 2 Kota Jambi with 24 randomly selected female students. Data were collected through a compliance questionnaire, 3x24-hour food recall, and hemoglobin level measurement. Chi-square test was used for analysis. Results: A total of 62.5% respondents were non-compliant with TTD consumption. Macronutrient intake was generally poor: 95.8% lacked energy intake, 79.2% lacked carbohydrates, 66.7% lacked protein, and 87.5% lacked fat. Anemia prevalence was 45.8%. No significant relationship was found between TTD compliance and anemia (p=0.916). However, fat intake was significantly associated with anemia incidence (p<0.05). Conclusion: Anemia in adolescent girls is not significantly associated with iron tablet compliance but is related to fat intake. Interventions should target improving diet quality and fat adequacy alongside supplementation.
