Abstract

The study assesses the potential use of anthropometric parameters and their optimal cut-off value for predicting the anemia status of adolescent girls. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 2,184 adolescent girls aged 15‒19 years from West Bandung and Sumedang districts of Indonesia who participated in the Better Investment for Stunting Alleviation Program (BISA). Anemia is defined as a Haemoglobin (Hb) level <12 g/dl and was analyzed by HemoCue® 201+. Anthropometric parameters studied were Body Weight (BW), BMI-for-Age z-Score (BAZ), Waist Circumference (WC), Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR), and Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) and all were measured according to WHO procedure. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) was used to analyze the potential of anthropometric parameter to predict anemia status. Based on multivariate analysis, a significant correlation was found between age (OR=0.88; 95% CI:0.79‒0.97) and WHtR (OR=0.12; 95% CI:0.02‒0.63) with anemia status. The ROC analysis revealed that the WHtR parameter had the highest Area Under the Curve (AUC) for predicting anemia, although with a very low accuracy (AUC=0.529). The optimal cut-off with value of WHtR for adolescent girls was ≤0.44. This study suggests that WHtR is a potential parameter for early detection of anemia status among adolescent girls and needs to be confirmed with further studies.

Abstract

The iron supplementation program is one of the efforts to overcome anemia based on WHO recommendations. The compliance of iron supplement consumption is an indicator of the success of anemia prevention programs. This cross-sectional study aims to analyze factors related to compliance with iron supplement consumption among adolescent girls in health center areas in Kuningan Regency. The study involved 105 respondents selected using a proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire for each variable. The data were analyzed using Chi-Square statistical test. The results showed that only 21% of adolescent girls were found to be compliant in taking iron supplements. Approximately 62.9% of adolescent girls with good knowledge were compliant in taking iron supplements (p=0.041). 70.4% of adolescent girls with positive attitudes were compliant in taking iron supplements (p=0.018). Approximately 50.6% of adolescent girls lacked support from teachers (p=0.019), 71.1% lacked support from peers (p=0.010), and 62.7% lacked access to nutrition education or counseling at school (p=0.010). This study suggests the need of cross-sectoral support from both the health and education sectors to strengthen the implementation of the routine iron tablet consumption program as recommended.

Abstract

Adolescents are an age group that tends to skip breakfast. A breakfast is a morning meal before starting the day's activities. The role of breakfast is very important for the performance and academic achievement of adolescents, especially to increase the  academic performances and achievements in adolescents notably for those who are active in academic or school activities. The series of processes of the role of intake and academic achievement are closely related with the quality of intake and one of the cognitive functions, namely, working memory ability. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between intake quality, blood glucose levels, and working memory in adolescents attending junior high schools in Malang City. This study used a cross-sectional research model with a sample size of 42 subjects. Subjects were aged between 12-15 years from SMP Negeri 25 Malang City. Data consisted of subject characteristics (age, sex, pocket money), family characteristics (parents' monthly income, last education and occupation, number of family members), quality of intake using the DQI-A component, blood glucose levels, and working memory ability using the Working Memory Questionnaire (WMQ) score. Analysis used SPSS 16.0 to determine the distribution of data and test the relationship through bivariate analysis between the quality of intake, blood glucose levels and working memory in the subjects. There was no relationship between the quality of intake and DQI-A components, blood glucose levels, and working memory (p>0.05).

Abstract

Adolescents are a population group highly vulnerable to nutritional problems due to rapid physical growth, increased nutrient needs, and the formation of long-term eating habits. Understanding the quality of their diet is essential for preventing both nutrient deficiencies and diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to assess adolescent diet quality using the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) and its Indonesian modification (GDQS-I) and examine their association with nutritional status. The GDQS was developed to meet the need for a concise, sensitive, and globally applicable metric capable of evaluating both undernutrition and the risk of NCDs. This cross-sectional study was conducted from August to September 2025 and included 61 eighth-grade students from SMPN 2 Ciomas, Bogor. Dietary intake was assessed using repeated 2×24-hour food recalls, and nutritional status was determined through anthropometric measurements using the BMI-for-age index. The results showed that most adolescents had a normal nutritional status (82%); however, their diet quality was generally poor, with 67.2% categorized as high-risk based on the GDQS and 95.1% based on the GDQS-I. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated significantly lower GDQS-I scores than GDQS scores (p<0.001). The Spearman correlation test found no significant association between diet quality and nutritional status (p>0.05). In conclusion, these findings suggest that the GDQS-I may be useful for screening dietary risks among Indonesian adolescents, although further validation is required.

Abstract

Nutritional problems among school-age children remain significant, mainly due to unbalanced diets and low vegetable and fruit intake. In Indonesia, 97.7% of students do not meet the recommended consumption levels, with West Java reaching 98.3%. Most nutrition education programs emphasize knowledge improvement without considering the psychological factors influencing eating behavior. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which highlights the role of intention in shaping behavior, has rarely been applied in Indonesia. This study examined the effect of TPB-based nutrition education on knowledge, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention to consume vegetables and fruits among elementary students in Bogor District. Using a quasi-experimental design with multiple random sampling, 70 fifth-grade students were divided into treatment and control groups (n=35 each). The instruments showed good validity (r-count > r-table) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.7). The results indicated significant improvements in all TPB constructs (p < 0.05), except for subjective norm in the control group, with higher Cohen’s d values in the treatment group. TPB-based nutrition education effectively enhanced students’ intentions and behaviors toward consuming fruits and vegetables. Further research should consider longer interventions, follow-up evaluations, and the inclusion of additional influencing factors.
