Abstract

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is one of the prevailing nutritional issues in Indonesia. Dietary intake is a crucial factor related to malnutrition in pregnant women, with the common impact being Low Birth Weight (LBW) of babies. This research examines the intake of energy, protein, iron, and folate among pregnant women with PEM in the working area of Sobo Health Center, Banyuwangi City. The study is descriptive in nature and involves 15 pregnant women with PEM from the Sobo Health Center area as respondents. Data collection involved filling out personal sheets, measuring upper arm circumference using a LiLA tape, and conducting 2x24-hour food recall interviews. Descriptive analysis was performed using frequency distribution tables generated by the SPSS program. The research findings indicate that among pregnant women with severe energy deficiency PEM, all 15 individuals (100%) had severe energy deficit, 7 individuals (46.7%) had severe protein deficit, and all 15 individuals (100%) had insufficient dietary intake to meet their nutritional needs during pregnancy.

Abstract

Many teenage girls in Indonesia suffer from anemia, prompting exploration into alternative dietary interventions. Moringa leaves, known for their high iron content, offer a potential solution. This study aimed to formulate tofu meatballs enriched with moringa flour, evaluating their iron content and organoleptic qualities as a feasible iron supplement for adolescent girls. Three tofu meatball formulations were tested: F1B with no added moringa flour, F2B with 5 g, and F3B with 10 g. Iron content was assessed using ICP-OES, and organoleptic tests were conducted. Statistical analysis included the Kruskal-Walli’s test, with Mann-Whitney test for significant differences. Results revealed F2B had the highest iron content at 1.34 mg/100 g, followed by F1B at 1.06 mg/100 g, and F3B at 1.23 mg/100 g. However, iron levels per serving fell short of the 10% daily requirement. While F1B was preferred for taste, aroma, color, and texture, F2B and F3B were still acceptable. Future improvements could involve using boiled moringa leaves and seasoning to enhance organoleptic qualities.

Abstract

The transition from childhood to adulthood that adolescents go through is known as the "adolescent stage". Anemia is a common nutritional condition among adolescent girls in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls regarding anemia and their willingness to take Fe (iron) tablets. The type of research is analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. A total of 68 panelists were purposively selected. The results showed that most had a good understanding of anemia, but there were still many who did not take Fe (iron) tablets. Chi-Square test was applied to analyze the data and it was found that adolescent girls in class X SMA Negeri 13 Surabaya did not know anything about anemia and did not take blood enhancement tablets. In conclusion, most of the adolescent girls have positive attitude and knowledge related to anemia, but some adolescents do not consume Fe (iron) supplements. Suggestion: Inspire adolescent girls to consume Fe (iron) supplements along with providing comprehensive information related to anemia and motivation.

Abstract

The growth and development of elementary school-aged children require adequate nutrition. A preliminary study conducted on 10 students of Latukan Elementary School revealed that 20% of them were overweight, 60% had good nutritional status, and 20% were underweight. However, this preliminary study failed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge, snack consumption behavior, and nutritional status of students at Latukan Public Elementary School in Lamongan Regency. To address this gap, a descriptive study was conducted to determine the knowledge, consumption behavior of school snacks, and nutritional status of elementary school students in Latukan, Lamongan Regency. The study population comprised 66 students, with a sample size of 40 students selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and food frequency questionnaires. The findings revealed that 55% of the students had good knowledge, 55% exhibited moderate behavior, 57.5% consumed school snacks frequently, and 62.5% had good nutritional status. Moreover, 22.5% of the students were categorized as having more nutritional needs. This research aims to raise awareness among the community regarding the importance of nutritional knowledge and healthy snack consumption habits among school-aged children.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is an unresolved health problem in the world. There were 21.6% of stunted toddlers in Indonesia in 2022, with a higher proportion in rural areas than in urban areas. The mother's role mainly caused stunting. On the other hand, the role of fathers had not been reviewed much in previous research. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the role of fathers towards stunting among toddlers in rural areas. Methods: The study had a case-control design conducted from April to October 2019. This research involved two populations, namely the control population and the cases. The control population was all non-stunted toddlers aged 24-59 months who lived in Jombang Regency, while the case population was all stunted toddlers aged 24-59 months who lived in Jombang Regency. The authors applied a multistage random sampling. The sample consisted of 79 controls and 79 cases calculated based on the two-population proportion formula. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, fisher exact test, and logistic regression with α = 5%. Results: Fathers with low education increased the risk of toddlers becoming stunted 2.407 times higher than fathers with high education (p = 0.010; OR = 2.407; 95% CI = 1.231-4.705). Fathers from large families were 1.971 times more likely to have stunted toddlers than fathers from small families (p = 0.042; OR = 1.971; 95% CI = 1.026-3.785). Conclusions: Stunting in toddlers was significantly influenced by father's education. The size of the family also affected a toddler's risk of stunting. Increasing school age should be a priority program for preventing stunting in rural areas. In addition, health campaigns regarding pregnancy planning and birth control need to be carried out on an ongoing basis to reduce the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

Iron deficiency is the leading cause of anemia during pregnancy, a major public health concern in many developing countries. To mitigate anemia, iron supplementation for at least 90 days is recommended for pregnant women. The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to iron supplementation during pregnancy and to identify its key determinants in Cambodia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from the 2021–2022 Cambodia National Demographic and Health Survey. Key variables assessed included maternal age, education level, ethnicity, wealth index, number of pregnancies, age at first pregnancy, prenatal care provider, timing of the first antenatal care (ANC) visit, and frequency of ANC visits. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to evaluate associations between adherence and independent variables. A total of 4,475 women aged 15–49 years who had been pregnant in the past five years were included in the analysis, with 91.2% adhering to iron supplementation for at least 90 days. Multivariate logistic regression showed that those with primary and higher education had greater odds of adherence (odds ratio (OR)=1.38; 95%CI: 1.00–1.90; OR=3.07; 95%CI: 1.39–6.79, respectively) compared to women with no education. There was a positive relationship between education level and adherence. Women who attended four or more ANC visits were more likely to adhere (OR=2.93; 95%CI: 2.27–3.77), and those who initiated ANC in the first trimester had higher adherence compared to those who started later (OR=1.78; 95%CI: 1.35–2.36). This study highlights that education level, frequency, and timing of ANC visits significantly influenced adherence to iron supplementation. Strengthening maternal education and promoting early and regular ANC follow-up should be prioritized to improve adherence and prevent anemia during pregnancy.
