Abstract

Stunting among children under five years old (toddler) is a fundamental challenge that must be addressed. This is due to the nutritional status of children in the first five years of life is related to cognitive development and the prevention of chronic diseases later in life. Given the high prevalence of stunting across various regions, it is necessary to conduct research to identify factors associated with stunting. Food security is one of the factors contributing to stunting based on the WHO framework. This study aimed to examine the relationship between household food security and the incidence of stunting. This study used a cohort design with retrospective approach. The retrospective method used in this approach involves first measuring stunting in children under five years old, then tracing back their household food security history to determine whether there are factors influencing the incidence of stunting. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, and the sample size was determined using the Slovin formula, resulting in a total of 123 mothers with stunted toddlers. Chi-square analysis was used for data analysis. The chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.010. This study found a significant relationship between household food security and the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

The increasing proportion of elderly followed by the increasing life expectancy has improved the prevalence of various chronic-degenerative diseases and dementia. The promotive efforts using exercise programs, such as Tai Chi and cognitive therapy, significantly increase the physical fitness, mental well-being, and cognitive function of the elderly. This research aimed to predict the effectiveness of exercise programs for particular groups living in nursing homes. The method of this research was a quasi-experiment with a control group design. Samples are elderly living in the nursing home. The research samples were 116 elderlies living in nursing homes in Jakarta and South Sumatra. They were selected using a random sampling strategy. Statistical tests employed a dependent t-test, independent t-test, and multiple linear regression test. This study revealed that the intervention group showed different cognitive function average values before and after implementing the exercise programs (p-value = 0.001). In contrast, the control group did not show any differences. The intervention and control groups showed different cognitive function mean values after applying the exercise program (p-value = 0.057). Another finding denoted that the length of stay in the nursing home affected the elderly's cognitive functions). This research recommends policymakers and healthcare personnel use the developed exercise program to perform complementary therapy, empower the elderly, and be replaced by many orders of the healthcare system.
