Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem due to malnutrition, especially during the first 1,000 days of life. In addition to affecting physical growth, stunting also affects children's cognitive development and immune system. Stunted children have a higher risk of recurrent infections such as respiratory infections and diarrhea, because their immune systems are not yet optimally developed. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting is still quite high and is one of the main health problems, caused by prolonged malnutrition that weakens the function of the child's immune system. Objective: To determine the relationship between stunting and resistance to infection in children, as well as the role of proper nutrition in improving health and endurance. Methods: A literature review covering various scientific sources from 2019-2024 through the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct databases with the keywords "stunting," "immunity," "infection," and "children." Secondary data on the prevalence of stunting and infection are used to show the relationship between these two factors. Results and Discussion: Stunted children are more susceptible to infection because their immune systems are not yet optimal due to a lack of essential nutrients such as protein, zinc, and vitamins. Research shows that an unbalanced diet and zinc deficiency can weaken the immune response, making children more likely to experience respiratory infections and diarrhea. Repeated infections worsen their nutritional status, creating a cycle of malnutrition and infection that is difficult to break. Conclusion: Stunting is closely related to low body resistance to infection. Children who experience stunting have a higher risk of recurrent infections due to a less than optimal immune system. Appropriate nutritional intake, such as protein, zinc, and vitamins, plays an important role in increasing immunity and overcoming stunting.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood malnutrition is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries. Its impact is not only limited to impaired physical growth, but also affects cognitive development, increases susceptibility to disease, and decreases future productivity. Early detection and effective prevention are essential to reduce the long-term impact of malnutrition and improve the quality of human resources. Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance are two key strategies in the fight against malnutrition. Growth Monitoring involves monitoring children's growth at regular intervals through weight weighing, height measurement, and nutritional status assessment, while Nutritional Surveillance focuses on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting nutrition data to monitor the nutritional status of the population and identify risk factors that contribute to nutritional problems. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of integrated Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance in detecting and preventing early childhood malnutrition. Methods: The method used was a literature review from various sources, including scientific journals, reports from health organizations, and government publications with a boundary of 2018-2024. Results and Discussion: The results and discussion show that the integration of Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance provides a comprehensive and effective approach. Growth Monitoring enables early identification of children at risk of growth disorders, while Nutritional Surveillance provides data on the prevalence, trends, and determinants of malnutrition for targeted interventions. Conclusion: The integration of Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance is essential to improve the effectiveness of early detection and prevention of malnutrition in early childhood.

Abstract

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies, such as iron, vitamin A, zinc, and iodine, remain critical nutritional issues in developing countries, including Indonesia. These deficiencies significantly impact public health, particularly among children and pregnant women, causing conditions like anemia, stunting, and increased susceptibility to infections. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of micronutrient supplementation in improving nutritional status, with a focus on identifying challenges and proposing solutions for sustainable interventions. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using sources from Google Scholar. Keywords included “micronutrient supplementation,” “nutritional status improvement,” and “micronutrient deficiencies.” Journals were selected based on criteria such as publication within the last 20 years, relevance, and inclusion of clinical trials or human case studies. Data were classified by micronutrient type, target population, and measured outcomes. Results and Discussion: Micronutrient supplementation significantly improves nutritional status in vulnerable groups. Iron supplementation reduces anemia rates and associated complications, while vitamin A supplementation decreases infection-related morbidity and mortality. Zinc supplementation alleviates stunting and reduces diarrhea and respiratory infections in children. However, challenges such as limited accessibility, low compliance, and programmatic barriers persist, necessitating integrated approaches for sustainable outcomes. Conclusion: Micronutrient supplementation is effective in improving nutritional and health status, particularly among children and pregnant women. To optimize these outcomes, supplementation programs should be complemented by education, food-based interventions, and supportive government policies that ensure accessibility and sustainability.

Abstract

Thrombocytopenia commonly found in neonatal, especially in ill-appearing infant. However, it may happened in well-appearing infant. This following case showed infant could have thrombocytopenia right after delivery process. This thrombocytopenia phenomenon assumed due to plasental insufficiency in mother with preeclampsia. Placental insufficiency is a condition where the placenta, which is responsible for providing nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus, is not functioning adequately. Finding the correct etiology made early interventions given in this patients.
