Abstract

Background: Many low- and middle-income countries are now facing the “double burden” of malnutrition, one of them is overweight/obesity. Over 340 million children and adolescents were overweight and obesity in 2016. Obesity among adolescents may increase, in part due to changes in the food system, which now offers a wide range of ultra-processed foods (UPF) that minimize preparation time. Indonesia has also a large and rapidly growing market for unhealthy drinks, which are sold in various places including schools and hospitals. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association of UPF and beverages consumption and other related factors with nutritional status of senior high school students in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted in Pontianak investigated the association between UPF consumption and nutritional status of SHS students. Data collection was conducted at Imanuel and Petrus SHS Pontianak in June 2023, involving 273 students from grades 10th and 11th. Weight and height measurement was obtained for calculating the BMI for age Z-scores, while UPF and beverages consumption was obtained by FFQ. Structured questionnaire, 24-hours recall, and IPAQ-S were used for assessing sociodemographic status, Total Energy Intake and Physical Activity Level. Data analysis used SPSS version 26. Results: The result found 40.3% of students were overweight-obesity; 51.6% consumed excessive UPF and beverages. It showed an inverse association between UPF consumption and nutritional status. The study identifies UPF and beverages consumption, gender, mother's education level, and family income as factors associated with nutritional status among adolescents. Conclusion: The consumption of ultra-processed Foods was high, with the highest UPF intake came from snacks and sweets (22.4%). There was inverse association between UPF and beverages consumption with nutritional status. There was also significant association between UPF and beverages, gender, mother education level and family income with nutritional status.

Abstract

Introduction: Straddling work and childcare harms working moms' health, potentially their children too. To address this, child rearing workplace policies are needed. These would promote work-life balance and ensure both mothers' and children's well-being, ultimately protecting pregnant and parenting women at work. Objective: This study aims to explore the gaps between available child rearing workplace policy for working mothers and the implementation on the field while taking its implications into account. Methods: We reviewed literature from PubMed electronic database. Predefined keywords were developed and chosen. Relevant articles were filtered according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Furthermore, all articles were reviewed independently and those that match were included and charted through Microsoft Excel based on each articles’ characteristics. Results: There are 13 workplace policies related to childcare for working mothers in the included articles. The most common policy was paid maternity leave. Other frequently mentioned policies included lactation support and facilities, flexible work arrangements, and daycare facilities. All policies have different implementation rates and implications to both working mothers and their children. Conclusion: Supportive child rearing policies at work benefit everyone: employers, employees, and their families, leading to a better nutritional and health status, hence increase overall quality of life.

Abstract

Obesity has emerged as one of the global public health challenges. Obesity rates among adults in Indonesia have doubled over the past two decades, including among workers. Obesity among workers can lead to lower productivity and early retirement. Occupational factors have been associated with the prevalence of obesity at the workplace. However, the relationship between occupation type and obesity in Indonesia has not been clarified. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the association between occupation type and obesity among Indonesian workers using data from the 2018 Indonesian Food Barometer (IFB).

Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, negatively impacting children's cognitive and physical development. Mothers' knowledge of iron and the benefits of fortified complementary foods may have influenced their purchase intentions and decisions. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between mothers' purchase intentions, actual purchases of iron-fortified infant cereals, and iron intake in children aged 6–23 months in Tangerang, Indonesia. Research on this topic remained limited, emphasizing the need for further studies to strengthen the existing evidence. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 162 mothers in pairs with their children aged 6–23 months, recruited consecutively. Data were collected using validated questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test to compare groups and Spearman's correlation test to assess the strength of relationships between variables. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Mothers showed positive attitudes and intentions towards purchasing iron-fortified cereals, with a notable 51.9% having made recent purchases. While these purchase intentions correlate with actual purchases, they did not directly influence children's iron intake. Instead, factors such as mother’s education, occupation, and household income played significant roles in determining iron intake levels. Conclusion: Purchase intentions were associated with actual purchase intention; however, factors such as gender, mother’s education, occupation, and household income did not exhibit a direct relationship with children's iron intake. This study indicates that while mother’s purchase intentions are associated with actual purchases, they do not directly impact children's iron intake.

Data collection included in-depth interviews with 12 trained breastfeeding counsellors, eight key informants, and focus group discussions with 24 mothers. Thematic analysis using NVivo 12, guided by the Logic Model framework, which grouped breastfeeding counselling into input, process, outputs, and outcomes aspects. Results: Key challenges included a shortage of trained counsellors, limited infrastructure, and budget constraints. Health workers adapted by integrating counselling into maternal health services, conducting home visits, and collaborating with Posyandu cadres. Exclusive breastfeeding rates showed slight improvements but remained below national targets. Beneficiaries expressed satisfaction but highlighted the need for longer and more frequent counselling sessions. Conclusions: The program faced significant resource challenges, including a shortage of skilled counsellors, budget constraints, and limited facilities. However, adaptive strategies by health workers crucial for overcoming logistical and resource constraints resulted in beneficiaries’ satisfaction and positive developments in breastfeeding rates.
