Abstract

Background: Food preferences play an important role in determining eating habits. School-age children spend a significant amount of time in school; therefore, school food environment can influence their eating habits and ultimately their nutritional status. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate eating habits and food preferences (with a focus on vegetables and snacks) among normal, overweight and obese of full-day school children in urban areas of Surabaya City. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a full-day elementary school in Surabaya City, Indonesia, involving 110 students. Dietary habits were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, while nutritional status was evaluated by measuring weight and height. The students' nutritional status was determined using the BMI-for-age index with the WHO AnthroPlus software. Differences between variables were analyzed using the Chi-Square test, Fisher’s Exact test, and Likelihood Ratio test. Results: A high prevalence of overweight and obesity (41.8%) was observed in this study, with boys showing a higher prevalence than girls. Overweight/obese boys tended to eat more frequently and had a lower proportion of breakfast habits compared to girls, although these differences were not statistically significant (p-value>0.05). Food preferences for vegetables (carrot, spinach, water spinach) were similar between normal-weight and overweight/obese children. However, there were slight differences in snack preferences, with boys showing a greater preference for snacks than girls. Conclusions: The high prevalence of overnutrition among school-aged children, particularly boys, requires greater attention from parents and schools. Both home and school food environments should consistently promote healthy eating to improve children's nutritional status by encouraging regular breakfast habits in boys and providing healthier snack options.

Abstract

Background: The MAD in children has an important role in preventing the risk of undernutrition. MAD in children is often associated with MDD in mothers because the mother's consumption pattern continues to feed the child who is born. Objectives: This systematic review aims to examine the relationship between MDD in mothers and MAD in children, and its role in undernutrition prevention. Methods: Articles were selected using the PRISMA method. Articles were obtained from Sciencedirect, Medline, and Embase in the 2017-2022 timeframe without data restrictions. The vocabulary used in the search is "Maternal Dietary Diversity" and "Minimum Acceptable Diet", and undernutrition, and only researched articles in English. Table matriculation was carried out to obtain an overview of the relationship between MDD in mothers and children's MAD in undernutrition prevention. Discussion: Research from 7 selected studies was conducted in five developing countries with high levels of food insecurity. Samples were obtained of 167 to 10,291 children aged 6-59.9 months. Six studies indicate the level of food insecurity in the area studied. Four of the seven studies showed significant results between MDD in mothers with MAD and undernutrition in children. Conclusions: Maternal MDD has a significant role in MAD in children and can be one of the factors that influence undernutrition, especially in developing countries which are highly food insecure.
