Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a significant public health problem, especially in rural areas. One of the main risk factors for anemia is poor nutritional status. Adolescent girls with unbalanced nutritional status have a higher risk of iron deficiency, leading to anemia. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in seven villages in the Rancakalong Health Center working area in 2023. Aims: to determine whether there is a relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in seven villages in Rancakalong sub-district. Methods: This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were adolescent girls aged 13–18 years who lived in seven villages in the Rancakalong Health Center working area. Nutritional status was measured based on Body Mass Index (BMI) according to age, while the Sahli method determined anemia based on hemoglobin levels. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test to see the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of anemia. Results: Of the 140 adolescent girls studied, 23 (16.4%) had anemia. One person (4.3%) with anemia had poor nutritional status. The results of the analysis showed no significant relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of anemia (p > 0.05) with the results of the chi-square p-value analysis of 0.443. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in the Rancakalong Health Center working area. Sustainable nutritional intervention and health promotion are needed to improve nutritional status and reduce the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Stunting is a growth and developmental disorder caused by chronic malnutrition, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life. This study aimed to determine the association between exclusive breastfeeding history and stunting among children aged 2–4 years at Posyandu Warakas RW 010 in 2022. An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using purposive sampling. The sample included 70 mothers and their children aged 2–4 years. Of the 70 children, 58 were not stunted, and 12 were stunted. Among the stunted children, 3 had received exclusive breastfeeding, and 9 had not. Fisher’s exact test showed a significant association between exclusive breastfeeding history and stunting incidence (p = 0.002; OR = 8.6).
