Abstract

Adequate nutrition is critical for the growth, academic, and physical performance of adolescents. In semi-military schools, the regimented weekly schedules may influence students' eating patterns, potentially causing variations in diet quality between weekdays and weekends. This study aims to explore the differences in diet quality between weekdays and weekends among high school students enrolled in a semi-military education system.

Abstract

Mothers introducing solid foods (other than breast milk) to their babies (aged 6 to 23 months) rely heavily on nutrition labels when selecting infant cereals. Therefore, it is crucial to identify maternal knowledge regarding iron and the factors influencing their intentions to purchase iron-enriched cereals using the theory of planned behavior. This information will assist in formulating maternal purchasing decisions for high-iron infant cereals. As the questionnaire has not been validated yet, it needs to be validated. Aim to validate the questionnaire to evaluate mothers' intention to buy iron-fortified cereal for children aged 6-23 months using the theory of planned behavior and iron-related knowledge questionnaires.

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.

Abstract

Background: Poor adolescent diet quality is influenced by family eating habits, media promoting unhealthy foods, and body image pressures, leading to disordered eating, neglect of health considerations, and obesity. Even in controlled environments like boarding schools. Objective: This study aims to assess association between eating behavior and dietary quality among students in Taruna Nusantara Senior High School (TN-SHS), Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 200 subjects aged 15-18 was conducted in January 2024. Participants were purposively sampled from TN-SHS boarding school. Data was collected using the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) and Diet Quality Index International (DQI-I), along with sociodemographic information, nutritional status, and physical activity. Analysis was performed using SPSS 29, employing multiple linear regression to examine the relationship between eating behaviors and diet quality. Results: There was strong relationship between eating behavior and diet quality on different days, revealing that restrained eating correlates with better diet quality on average days (r=0.158, p=0.026), while external eating is linked to poorer diet quality. The association between eating behavior and diet quality on weekdays is weaker than on weekends. External eating consistently reduces diet quality across all periods (β=–1.380 to –1.854, p<0.01). Males exhibiting lower diet quality (β=–3.021 to –4.904, p≤0.002) and higher pocket money associated with improved diet quality, particularly on weekends (β=–3.633, p=0.021). Conclusion: The study findings highlight the importance of managing external eating behaviors such as emotional eating, social eating, mindless eating, and binge eating, and suggest avenues for targeted interventions to promote healthier dietary habits.
