Abstract

Stunting remains a critical public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in regions like Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, where prevalence rates remain elevated despite ongoing interventions. This pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study evaluated the effect of TIJEK Nuggets a locally developed supplementary food made from tempeh (fermented soybeans), anchovies, chicken eggs, and spices as a nutrition intervention to improve the nutritional status of stunted toddlers aged 2-5 years in Pantai Labu Pekan Village. From a population of 45 eligible toddlers, 30 participants meeting the inclusion criteria (willingness to participate and measurable anthropometrics) were consecutively sampled. Baseline height and weight measurements served as pretest values, followed by daily administration of 100 grams of TIJEK Nuggets (divided into two servings) for 14 days, with posttest anthropometrics recorded thereafter. Nutritional analysis confirmed that 100 grams (4 pieces) of TIJEK Nuggets provided 150.61 kcal of energy, 26.83 g of carbohydrates, 7.92 g of protein, 11.61 g of fat, 62.56 g of water, and 1.40 g of ash, leveraging high-protein local ingredients to address macronutrient deficiencies common in stunting. Results showed no significant change in mean height (pretest-posttest: 92.72 cm ± 7.69 cm), but averages were identical due to minimal linear growth over the short term. However, mean weight increased significantly from 12.77 kg ± 2.03 kg to 13.39 kg ± 2.04 kg (p=0.001), indicating TIJEK Nuggets effectively promoted short-term weight gain. This aligns with biological expectations: height reflects chronic malnutrition, which responds to prolonged interventions, while weight responds more rapidly to energy-dense supplements. In conclusion, TIJEK Nuggets demonstrate promise as an accessible, effective supplementary food for short-term weight improvement in stunted toddlers, warranting broader, controlled applications within multifaceted anti-stunting strategies Keywords: Stunting, Toddlers, Nutritional Status, TIJEK Nuggets, Local Food

In Indonesia, annual fatalities from cardiovascular disease total 651,481, including 331,349 deaths from stroke, 245,343 from coronary heart disease, 50,620 from hypertensive heart disease, and additional cases from other cardiovascular conditions. Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of giving PALOSDEL (Avocado Oatmeal Pie and Soy Milk) on Reducing Total Cholesterol Levels in Coronary Heart Disease Patients at the Dagang Kelambir Health Center, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency. Method: This research is a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test strategy. Where before and after treatment, cholesterol levels were measured. The sample in this study was 30 people. The analysis was conducted using the t-test with a 95% confidence level using the SPSS version 25 application. Results: The results of the study showed that there was an effect of giving PALOSDEL (Avocado Oatmeal Pie and Soy Milk) on the Decrease in Total Cholesterol Levels in Coronary Heart Disease Patients at the Dagang Kelambir Health Center, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency with the results of the statistical test value p = 0.000. Conclusions: It can be concluded that PALASDOL has an effect on reducing cholesterol levels in coronary heart disease patients.
