Abstract

The present study aims to examine in depth the relationship between consumption patterns of ultra-processed foodstuffs and the nutritional status of adolescents in urban areas. The present study employed a quantitative analytical design, adopting a cross-sectional approach. The collection of data was conducted utilising a validated Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Additionally, secondary data were collected pertaining to demographic characteristics (age, gender, and socioeconomic status) and physical activity levels, which were measured using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A). The results indicated a positive correlation between the frequency of UPF consumption and the proportion of adolescents who were overweight or obese. The ingestion of UPF at a rate of four times per day has been shown to increase the risk of overnutrition or obesity by 2.85-fold (p = 0.000). Concurrently, a lack of physical activity has been demonstrated to increase the risk by 2.4-fold. The present findings underscore the significance of regulations and public policies in the control of the distribution and promotion of ultra-processed foods, with particular reference to the vulnerability of adolescents to the influence of unhealthy food environments.

Abstract

To evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions and demonstrations of balanced nutrition menus on increasing the knowledge of mothers of toddlers. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of one group pretest-posttest design. The participants were mothers who had children aged 0-5 years and actively participated in Posyandu activities in the local Puskesmas work area. Before and after the intervention, the level of knowledge of respondents was measured using a validated questionnaire instrument, containing 20 multiple-choice questions about the concept of balanced nutritional, types of food, balanced portions, and toddler food processing techniques. The results of the inferential analysis using the paired sample t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05). Community-based nutrition education programs accompanied by direct demonstrations are highly recommended as a strategy to increase community nutrition literacy, especially in efforts to prevent toddler nutrition problems such as stunting and malnutrition.
