Abstract

Approximately ten percent of children under five in Indonesia have suffered from wasting. Children with low birth body weight are considerably more at risk of suffering such disease. This current study aimed to analyze the relationship between low birth body weight and other risk factors of wasting among Indonesian children. This study utilized data from the 2018 Indonesian National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas). In total, 60,451 children aged 6-59 months were included. The data were analyzed using bivariate and logistic regressions. According to the data analysis, children with low birth-body weight had significantly higher odds of being wasted compared to children with normal birth-body weight (OR=1.5, 95%CI=1.3-1.8). In addition, boys and younger children (6-23 months) were 1.3 times more susceptible to wasting (OR=1.3, 95%CI=1.2-1.4). Unemployed fathers and mothers comprised of 1.3 and 1.1 times, respectively, to increase the risk of child wasting (OR=1.3, 95%CI=1-1.7; OR=1.1, 95%CI=1-1.2). Mothers with a low education level contributed to an increase in wasting prevalence 1.1 times (OR=1.1, 95%CI=1-1.2). Children who were lack of vitamin A supplements had a 1.2 times more chance of being wasted (OR=1.2, 95%CI=1.1-1.3). This research eventually suggested that low birth-body weight was the dominant factor in child wasting in Indonesia. Programs for improving the nutritional status of pregnant women and children with low birth-body weight should therefore be implemented intensively and comprehensively.

Abstract

Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) has continued to pose a significant global burden, specifically regarding morbidity among young adults which has not been well studied. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the burden of NCD among young adults and identify correlating factors. It analyzed the 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research, a nationwide study employing a cross-sectional design and linear systematic with Two Stage Sampling. The subject involved comprised 319,355 individuals in the 18-40 age group. Data were further analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. The analysis results showed that 6% of young adults in Indonesia had one NCD or more. Young adults with higher Waist Circumference (WC) and higher Body Mass Index (BMI) had a higher risk of NCD (OR:1.58; 95%CI;1.52-1.65 and OR: 1.14; 95%CI:1.09-1.19, respectively). Furthermore, several sociodemographic factors exhibited significant correlation including older age, female sex, unemployment, higher educational and socioeconomic status, married and divorced, as well as living in an urban area (p-value<0.05). Unhealthy behavior such as consuming alcohol and smoking also increased the risk for NCD morbidity (OR:1.20; 95%CI;1.10-1.30 and OR: 1.19; 95%CI:1.10-1.27). Therefore, it was crucial to strengthen preventive programs targeting NCD among young adults by focusing on sociodemographic characteristics. This study also emphasized the importance of campaigns aimed at improving health behavior in this age group.
