Abstract

Background: Stunting refers to irreversible physical growth retardation accompanied by cognitive decline that can last a lifetime and affect the next generation. This research was conducted to determine the factors that influence the incidence of stunting in adolescents at the Youth Posyandu Kota Pariaman. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study. The population is all adolescents aged 10-18 years who are registered at the Kp. Jawa I with 52 people and Andestura Tungkal Selatan integrated health posts with 34 people. The sampling technique uses total sampling. Statistical test used chi square bivariate analysis. The dependent variable was stunting. The independent variables were gender, age, physical activity, and socioeconomic. Results: The results showed that gender (p=0.899), age (p=0.082), and physical activity (p=0.829) had no effect on the incidence of stunting in adolescents. Socioeconomic effect on the incidence of stunting in adolescents (p <0.001). Conclusion: There is no influence between gender, age, physical activity on the incidence of stunting because the nutritional status of stunting illustrates a disturbance in height growth that lasts for a long period of time so that it cannot be described by gender, age or physical activity. Socio-economic status that can affect the growth process includes income. Family income affects a person's ability to access certain foods which will affect the nutritional status of children. Someone with a low socioeconomic status has limited ability to access certain foods, so they are at risk of consuming less food. Keywords: gender age, physical activity, socioeconomic, stunting.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a major public health concern due to its adverse effects on maternal and fetal outcomes. Nutritional inadequacy and poor adherence to iron–folic acid (IFA) supplementation are key contributors to anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the association between nutritional adequacy levels and IFA tablet consumption with anemia incidence in pregnant women. A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2024 at Pulo Armyn Public Health Center, Bogor City, involving 86 pregnant women in their first and second trimesters selected through purposive random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and 2×24-hour dietary recalls, while hemoglobin levels were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis employed the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed no significant association between macronutrient (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate) and micronutrient (calcium, folate, iron, vitamin C) adequacy levels with anemia incidence (p > 0.05). However, a significant negative correlation was found between adherence to IFA tablet consumption and anemia incidence (p = 0.004; r = –0.311). Pregnant women with good adherence to IFA supplementation exhibited lower anemia prevalence compared to those with poor adherence. These findings underscore the importance of improving adherence to IFA supplementation alongside efforts to enhance dietary quality as part of comprehensive anemia prevention strategies in maternal health programs.
