Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among school-aged children globally, including in Indonesia. Excessive intake of simple sugars is a major risk factor for dental caries, particularly in the first permanent molars, which erupt early and possess deep pits and fissures that facilitate plaque retention. Purpose: to analyze the relationship between simple sugar intake and the incidence of first permanent molar caries among elementary school students in a stunting locus village in Negeri Sakti. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2025 involving 150 fourth- and fifth-grade students selected through total sampling. Simple sugar intake was assessed using a 24-hour food recall and analyzed with NutriSurvey. Dental caries examination of the first permanent molars was performed clinically by dental health professionals. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05 and Odds Ratio (OR) to determine risk magnitude. Results: Children with high simple sugar intake had a significantly higher risk of developing first permanent molar caries compared to those with low intake (OR = 3.57; p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between simple sugar intake and the incidence of first permanent molar caries among elementary school children. Reducing simple sugar consumption may play a crucial role in preventing dental caries, particularly in high-risk populations living in stunting locus areas.

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia remains a major nutritional problem among adolescent girls, caused by low dietary iron intake and monthly menstrual blood loss. To prevent anemia, the Indonesian government has implemented a weekly iron supplementation program (Tablet Tambah Darah, TTD) for school-aged girls since 2014. However, adherence to TTD remains low, limiting program effectiveness. Adherence is influenced by students’ attitudes, support from parents or teachers, and perceived behavioral control. This study aimed to examine the relationship between attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control with TTD adherence among adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study was conducted at SMP Kartika II-2 Bandar Lampung, including the total population of seventh- and eighth-grade female students (n = 73). The dependent variable was TTD adherence, measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8), while independent variables included attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results showed that 65.8% of students were non-adherent to TTD. Significant associations were found between attitude (p = 0.044; OR = 1.8), subjective norms (p = 0.010; OR = 2.3), and perceived behavioral control (p = 0.000; OR = 3.6) with adherence. It is recommended that schools, through teachers and school health staff, implement a structured weekly TTD schedule and enhance supervision to improve adherence among students
