Abstract

The quality of future human resources is closely linked to the current nutritional status of children. Unhealthy and irregular dietary patterns can lead to undernutrition or overnutrition, affecting overall health and brain development. This study aimed to examine the relationship between dietary patterns and the nutritional status of fifth-grade students in Kediri District. A correlational design with random sampling was conducted in eight schools, involving 221 respondents. Dietary patterns were classified as good (66.5%), fair (24.4%), very good (7.2%), and poor (1.8%). Nutritional status was predominantly normal (96.8%), with 3.2% categorized as overweight, and no cases of underweight. Chi-Square analysis indicated a significant association between dietary patterns and nutritional status (p = 0.009 < 0.05), with a low correlation coefficient (r = 0.224). These findings suggest that dietary patterns are not the sole determinant of nutritional status; factors such as health condition, physical activity, illness frequency, and environmental conditions also contribute. It is recommended to promote healthy eating habits among students and parents, ensure food hygiene in schools, and provide nutritious food options. Future research should consider nutritional education interventions to assess their impact on students’ dietary patterns and nutritional status.

Abstract

A study entitled Blood Group Characteristics of Students of the Biology Education Study Program, FKIP, University of Mataram, Class of 2023/2024 has been conducted. This study aimed to: (1) determine the characteristics of blood groups among students of the Biology Education Study Program, FKIP, University of Mataram, class of 2023/2024; and (2) enhance students’ understanding in the Human Anatomy and Physiology course, particularly regarding blood groups. The determination of blood groups is crucial in the medical field, as incompatibility between donor and recipient blood groups during transfusion can trigger serious immune reactions, such as hemolysis, anaphylactic shock, and even death. This research employed a descriptive, non-experimental design, in which the researchers collected basic information on students’ blood groups without conducting laboratory examinations. Data were collected online using Google Forms as the primary instrument. Based on the research results, the distribution of blood groups was as follows: O = 49.22% (63 students), B = 28.91% (37 students), A = 18.75% (24 students), and AB = 3.13% (4 students). It can be concluded that the blood group distribution among Biology Education students of the 2023/2024 cohort shows a dominant pattern of blood group O. Out of a total of 128 respondents, blood group O accounted for 49.22% (63 students), followed by blood group B at 28.91% (37 students), blood group A at 18.75% (24 students), and blood group AB at 3.13% (4 students).

Abstract

In an effort to understand the factors influencing healthy eating habits among adolescents, there remains a lack of research that comprehensively examines the relationship between nutritional knowledge and dietary patterns of junior high school students in Mataram City. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of nutritional knowledge and dietary patterns of students at public junior high schools in Mataram City. This study utilized a quantitative framework featuring a descriptive correlational method and a purposive sampling strategy to gather data from 317 seventh-grade pupils across 10 schools in Mataram City. The data were evaluated using the Pearson correlation method and the Chi-Square analysis. The findings revealed a positive and significant link between students' nutritional knowledge and their eating patterns, though the correlation was weak (r = 0.178; p = 0.002). These results suggest that enhancing nutritional knowledge may lead to improved dietary habits, but environmental and social influences are also significant. Further investigation is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of this relationship and to explore how other factors might affect the link between nutritional knowledge and student eating behaviors in a more thorough manner.
