Abstract

The Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) is an important indicator for assessing the quality of food consumption within a population, directly linked to the nutritional status of individuals, particularly toddlers, who are highly vulnerable to nutritional issues. This study aims to analyze changes in DDS scores and their influence on toddler nutritional status, life expectancy, poverty levels, and the Food Security Index (IKP) in Island of Borneo. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study consists of 55 cities/districts on the Island of Borneo. The data used are secondary data from 2022 and 2023, analyzed using a simple linear regression test.The results indicate that DDS scores and toddler nutritional status (stunting, wasting, underweight, and overweight) in Island of Borneo show no statistically significant relationships, with p-values of 0.948, 0.288, 0.326, and 0.850 (p > 0.05), respectively. However, there is a significant influence of DDS scores on poverty levels (p = 0.011).

Abstract

The occurrence of stunting has become one of the global health challenges, especially in developing countries. The average prevalence of stunting in North Maluku province from 2021 to 2023 is around 24.9% for children under 5 years old. Stunting is a nutritional problem caused by multiple factors. Factors suspected to influence the occurrence of stunting include the diversity of food consumption and food security. Food diversity can be described through the expected food patterns score, while food security can be measured using the food security index indicator. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors causing stunting in North Maluku province from 2021 to 2023. This study uses a cross-sectional design with secondary data sources. Data analysis used Pearson and Spearman correlation as well as multiple linear regression tests. The results of the bivariate data analysis show that the average years of schooling for women (P<0.001) and the ratio of healthcare workers (P<0.001) are significantly related. As for the desirable dietary patterns (P=0.426), the population below the poverty line (P=0.142), food expenditure >65% (P=0.822), lack of access to electricity (P=0.177), lack of access to clean water (P=0.833), and life expectancy (P=0.110), these are variables that do not have a significant relationship. The multivariate analysis results show that the p-value for the average years of schooling for women is 0.005 and the healthcare worker ratio is 0.004. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence between the average years of schooling for women and the ratio of healthcare workers on the incidence of stunting in children in North Maluku province from 2021 to 2023.

Abstract

Adolescents are a group of people undergoing transitional growth, during which their nutritional needs increase significantly. Based on DQI-A, the diet quality of adolescents aged 13–15 years in Bogor is classified as poor, at only 32.2%. The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program aims to ensure that adolescents consistently consume a balanced diet at school. This study aims to analyze the differences in diet quality among junior high school adolescents who are recipients (88 students from SMP PGRI 6) and non-recipients (88 students from SMP PGRI 5) of the free nutritious meals program at school. A cross-sectional comparative design was used involving 176 students selected purposively. Data on individual and family characteristics were collected through structured questionnaires; dietary intake was assessed by two non-consecutive 24-hour recalls conducted by trained interviewers using food photographs and the DQI-A method to measure the quality of the subjects' diets, including dietary quality, dietary diversity, and dietary equilibrium. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test and the independent-sample t-test. Results showed no significant differences in individual and socioeconomic characteristics between groups (p>0.05). However, significant differences were found in all DQI-A components, including dietary quality, dietary diversity, and dietary equilibrium (p<0.001). The MBG group had a higher average total DQI-A score (49.81%) compared with the non-MBG group (39.15%). These results show that the MBG program helps teens eat better. Recommendations include strengthening the availability and variety of nutritious foods in school meal programs, enhancing nutrition education in schools, and encouraging collaboration among schools, parents, and policymakers. Future researchers are advised to examine the long-term effects of the MBG program on both nutritional status and academic performance.
