Abstract

Malnutrition in children under five years of age remains a public health challenge in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. Efforts to improve nutritional status through the use of high-value local foods are one sustainable strategy. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of providing biscuits made from millet and swallow nests in improving the nutritional status of children aged 1-5 years. This study used a pretest-posttest design without a control group with a sample size of 35 children selected purposively. The intervention was carried out for a certain period by providing millet and swallow nest biscuits every day. Nutritional status data were obtained through anthropometric measurements of weight and height, then analyzed using the Paired t-Test and McNemar's Test. The results showed a significant increase in the average nutritional status score of children from 13.45 ± 1.52 to 14.20 ± 1.47 (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). The McNemar test analysis also showed a significant change in the proportion of nutritional status (p = 0.042; p < 0.05), with a decrease in the proportion of malnourished children from 28.6% to 20.0%. These findings indicate that the consumption of millet biscuits and swallow nests has a positive effect on improving the nutritional status of children aged 1-5 years. Conclusion: The provision of jewawut biscuits and swallow nests is effective in improving the nutritional status of toddlers. The use of these local foods has the potential to become an alternative.

Abstract

Underweight among children under five is a serious nutritional problem that adversely affects children's growth and development. Environmental sanitation and personal hygiene are considered important factors associated with the incidence of underweight. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental sanitation and personal hygiene among children under five and the incidence of underweight in the working area of the Mpunda Community Health Center, Bima City. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. Data were collected using questionnaires and direct field observations. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The bivariate analysis showed a significant association between environmental sanitation and underweight (p < 0.001; PR = 9.44; 95% CI: 3.59–24.84), as well as between personal hygiene and underweight (p < 0.001; PR = 3.98; 95% CI: 2.05–7.72). The multivariate analysis indicated that environmental sanitation and personal hygiene were significantly associated with the incidence of underweight. Environmental sanitation was identified as the most dominant variable in the analytical model, while personal hygiene was also significantly associated with underweight. Therefore, improving environmental sanitation through the provision of safe drinking water, sanitary latrines, and strengthening parental education on clean and healthy living practices for children under five is essential for preventing underweight.

Abstract

Underweight remains a public health nutrition problem, particularly among children under five years old, because it may affect physical growth, cognitive development, and increase the risk of morbidity. Family socioeconomic status and infectious diseases are considered factors associated with underweight. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family socioeconomic status and infectious diseases with the incidence of underweight among children aged 24–59 months in the working area of Rasanae Timur Public Health Center, Dodu Village, Bima City. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 50 children under five, including 25 cases and 25 controls selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires, weight measurements, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between father’s education level (p=0.553), father’s occupation (p=0.221), mother’s occupation (p=0.514), family income (p=0.480), and infectious diseases (p=0.564) with underweight incidence among children under five. However, a significant relationship was found between mother’s education level and underweight incidence (p=0.010). This study concludes that maternal education plays an important role in fulfilling nutritional needs and child care practices. Therefore, improving maternal knowledge through nutrition education and regular growth monitoring is recommended to prevent underweight among children under five.

Abstract

Rising life expectancy has given rise to the ageing population phenomenon, which contributes to declining physiological function and the emergence of degenerative diseases among older adults. A balanced diet serves as a key foundation for helping the elderly maintain independent daily activity, yet adherence to nutritional guidelines among this group remains low due to misconceptions about nutritional needs in old age. This study aims to explore how elderly individuals in Kalajena Village perceive the implementation of a balanced diet and to identify the physiological, social, and economic factors that hinder its practice. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving six older adults as key participants and two supporting informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then processed through data reduction, categorization, and interpretation. The findings reveal that participants' understanding of balanced nutrition remains at a basic level and has not been fully translated into daily practice, with hypertension emerging as the most prevalent health condition. This gap stems from deeply rooted eating habits, limited family support for those living alone, and economic constraints restricting access to vegetables and fruit. The study concludes that perception, physiological condition, social support, and economic capacity are interrelated in shaping elderly eating behavior toward healthy ageing. Keywords: elderly perception; balanced diet; physical health; nutritional barriers; healthy ageing
