Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major public health concern, with risk factors increasingly observed among younger populations. To describe and compare behavioral and biological NCD risk factors among adolescents (15–19 years), young adults (20–24 years), and adults (25–59 years) in Samarinda, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 242 respondents using the WHO STEPS questionnaire, covering behavioral factors (tobacco, alcohol, physical activity, diet) and biological factors (BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol). Smoking was highest among young adults (22.2%) versus adolescents (9.3%) and adults (17.7%). Adolescents reported relatively higher alcohol use (12.4%). Young adults showed more sedentary behavior (40%). Fruit consumption was inadequate across all groups. Overweight/obesity prevalence increased with age: adolescents (19.4%), young adults (24.4%), adults (54.4%). Adults showed higher hypertension (44.1%) and high cholesterol (35.3%). Behavioral risks emerge during adolescence, while biological risks accumulate with age. Early prevention targeting youth through community-based education and health monitoring is essential.

Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a significant health problem due to increased iron requirements during puberty. Iron supplements are an important intervention, but previous studies have shown that 58.4% of adolescent girls have low compliance rates. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes toward iron supplement consumption among high school students in Samarinda City. This study used a cross-sectional design involving 466 respondents from three secondary schools. Data were collected through an online questionnaire covering knowledge, attitude, and TTD consumption variables. Results showed that 47.2% of respondents had very good knowledge and 90.3% had a positive attitude. Bivariate analysis showed no significant relationship between knowledge and TTD consumption (OR = 1.039; 95% CI: 0.680–1.587; p = 0.860). Conversely, attitude showed a significant relationship, where students with negative attitudes were less likely to consume TTD (OR = 1.613; 95% CI: 1.052–2.471; p = 0.028). These findings indicate that attitude has a greater influence than knowledge in promoting TTD consumption behavior. Interventions to improve TTD consumption compliance should focus on fostering positive attitudes among adolescent girls.
