Abstract

Adolescent girls are susceptible to anemia due to menstruation, less diverse food intake, causing hemoglobin and hematocrit levels below normal. The global prevalence of anemia in women aged 15-49 years is 29.9%, especially in Indonesia aged 15-24 years is 48.9%. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome anemia with functional purple sweet potato (UJU) food produced into cookies to increase Fe intake and can extend shelf life. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of UJU cookies in increasing Hb and Hct levels in adolescent girls. This experiment used a pre-post test design with a control group. The sampling technique used the stratified random sampling method. The research respondents were 38 adolescent girls from 3 high schools in Surakarta City with three treatment groups. The volumetric impedance method for measuring Hb and Hct. The research intervention in the form of UJU cookies and regular cookies was given for 60 days. The Kruskal-Wallis test and one way Anova were used to compare Hb and Hct levels between the three groups. The results showed that the provision of UJU cookies 100 g/week (P2) experienced an increase in Hb of 0.52 g/dL (p = 0.001) and Hct levels increased by 4.04% (p = 0.001). From this study it can be concluded that the provision of UJU cookies can improve Hb and Hct levels in anemic adolescent girls and as an alternative based on functional food to increase Hb, Hct levels and nutrient intake so that it can overcome the problem of anemia in the community, especially adolescent girls.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in coastal areas with limited access to nutrition and healthcare services. This study aims to identify early risk factors for stunting in children aged 12–59 months in the coastal areas of Sampang Regency, East Java. The study design employed a cross-sectional approach with a sample size of 250 children, selected randomly in proportion to the population. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements, structured questionnaires, and 24-hour food recalls. Analysis was performed using the chi-square test and simple logistic regression. The results showed a prevalence of stunting of 25,2%. Not getting breast milk in the first two days postpartum (OR=2,447), not getting exclusive breastfeeding for <6 months (OR=2,766), insufficient energy intake (OR=27,695), and insufficient protein intake, which showed the highest risk (OR=192,85), were associated with stunting (p<0,05). In contrast, early initiation of breastfeeding and continued breastfeeding at 12–23 months of age were not significantly associated with stunting. These findings underscore the importance of early nutritional practices and adequate intake of macronutrients, particularly protein, in efforts to prevent stunting. Focused nutritional interventions during the first 1,000 days of life need to be prioritized, including improving maternal education and the quality of children’s food intake.
