Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major global health concern, contributing to child mortality and long-term developmental consequences. Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy plays a crucial role in determining child growth outcomes. Understanding this relationship is essential for developing effective nutritional interventions to prevent stunting. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between maternal nutritional status and stunting in children under five. Relevant studies published between January 2019 and July 2024 were retrieved from PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and BMJ. Data from nine studies across Asia and Africa were analyzed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3. Results: The analysis revealed that underweight mothers had a 1.22 times higher risk of having stunted children, while overweight mothers had a 1.02 times higher risk. Both findings were statistically significant (p<0.001). These results highlight the critical influence of maternal nutritional status on child growth and the increased risk of stunting in both underweight and overweight mothers. Conclusion: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy plays a vital role in preventing stunting among children under five. Targeted nutritional interventions for underweight and overweight mothers are essential to improve maternal and child health outcomes. Strengthening maternal nutrition programs can significantly contribute to reducing global stunting rates.

Abstract

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia remains a major public health concern among adolescent girls, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Although iron and folic acid supplementation (IFAS) programs have been widely implemented in Indonesia, anemia prevalence remains high, suggesting potential challenges in adherence. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between IFAS adherence and anemia among adolescent girls in Kulon Progo, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2024 and February 2025 among 71 female students aged 15–18 years selected through proportional random sampling. IFAS adherence was assessed using a structured questionnaire and categorized as adherent (≥4 tablets/month) or non-adherent (<4 tablets/month) based on national guidelines. Hemoglobin levels were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb device, and anemia was defined as hemoglobin <12 g/dL. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The majority of participants were classified as non-adherent to IFAS (93.0%). Overall, 56.3% of respondents were anemic. A statistically significant association was observed between IFAS adherence and anemia status (p = 0.008). Non-adherent participants exhibited a substantially higher proportion of anemia compared with adherent participants Conclusion: Low adherence to iron supplementation was significantly associated with anemia among adolescent girls. Strengthening adherence-focused interventions, including nutrition education and school-based support strategies, is essential to enhance the effectiveness of anemia prevention programs in this population.
