Abstract

Background: Anemia occurs in 1 in 3 toddlers in Indonesia. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most common causes of anemia in toddlers. Iron deficiency affects the synthesis of DNA, neurotransmitters, and mitochondrial cytochrome. Lacking nutrition can cause health problems in toddlers. This is characterized by the nutritional status of toddlers classified as short or underweight. This study aims to determine the correlation between IDA and nutritional status in toddlers.Method: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross sectional approach. The population for this study were toddlers who had been treated at UNS Hospital from 2021 to 2023. The samples in this study were taken using purposive sampling, totaling 115 toddlers. The independent variable is IDA and the dependent variable is the toddler's nutritional status. Data analysis used the Spearman test with SPSS version 25.Result: This study showed 75 IDA toddlers and 40 others had normal hemoglobin. The toddlers were tested with 2 z-score indicators. The highest number of test results with the Weight/Length indicator was -2SD to 2SD (good nutrition) with a total of 87 toddlers and the Length/Age indicator was -2SD to 2SD (normal) with a total of 67 toddlers. It was analyzed using the Spearman test and a significant value of 0.235 for the Weight/Length indicator and 0.140 for the Length/Age indicator. Both indicators show results of more than 0.05 (p > 0.05).Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between iron deficiency anemia and nutritional status in toddlers at UNS Hospital.

Abstract

Dengue Fever is a significant and recurring public health challenge in tropical urban centers, including the city of Surakarta, Indonesia. The transmission of this vector-borne disease is highly sensitive to local climatic conditions, as high rainfall and humidity create ideal environments for the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This study aims to analyze the epidemiological trends of Dengue Fever in Surakarta from 2021 to 2023 and to determine the influence of key environmental factors on disease transmission dynamics. A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted using secondary data on reported Dengue Fever cases across Surakarta's five sub-districts: Laweyan, Serengan, Pasar Kliwon, Jebres, and Banjarsari. Incidence rates per 100,000 population were calculated and correlated with monthly rainfall and humidity data. The results showed significant fluctuations in incidence, with a major surge in 2022, when 166 total cases were recorded. The district of Laweyan recorded the highest incidence rate that year at 134.59 cases per 100,000 population. This peak strongly correlated with high rainfall and humidity during the first quarter of 2022, which provided optimal mosquito breeding conditions. In contrast, 2021 had the lowest incidence amid drier conditions. These findings confirm a strong association between climatic factors and Dengue Fever transmission in Surakarta. High rainfall and humidity are critical contributors to the disease burden, underscoring the urgent need for integrated, climate-based forecasting within public health surveillance systems to mitigate future outbreaks effectively.
