Abstract

The main aspect of the challenge related to children's food patterns and intake is the availability of snacks and drinks sold in the school environment with high energy and fat and low fruit and vegetables. This community service aims to increase knowledge related to risks, healthy eating patterns, and the importance of bringing children to school. In addition, nutritional status and identification of eating habits of fruits and vegetables in students were also measured. This activity was carried out on August 19, 2022 with strict implementation of health protocol discipline. The majority of students at TK -Active have normal nutritional status with a total of 53 people (73.61%). Carrot is the students' favorite vegetable with 17 people (37.74%) although most parents (46.67%) like all vegetables. Oranges are the students' favorite fruit with 11 people (24.44%), as well as the parents of most students also like oranges, totaling 15 people (33.33%). There are similarities in food preferences both healthy and unhealthy in parents and their children, especially if they eat together more often. Parents have a big role in determining children's eating preferences.

Abstract

Childhood stunting remains a major public health problem in rural Indonesia, where inadequate maternal nutrition knowledge and suboptimal child feeding practices are prevalent. A case–control study was conducted among 210 mothers of children aged 24–59 months in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, including 105 stunted and 105 non-stunted children. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using validated questionnaires to assess maternal nutrition knowledge and supplementary feeding practices. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Children whose mothers had good nutrition knowledge were less likely to be stunted (AOR = 0.458; 95% CI: 0.250–0.838; p = 0.014). Similarly, appropriate supplementary feeding practices were associated with lower odds of stunting (AOR = 0.486; 95% CI: 0.266–0.885; p = 0.019). Child’s sex and birth weight were not significantly associated with stunting. Maternal nutrition knowledge and appropriate feeding practices were independently associated with lower odds of childhood stunting in rural Indonesia. Strengthening maternal education and feeding support may contribute to effort to reduce stunting in rural settings.
