Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impairs children's growth and development. This study aims to examine the influence of agricultural production and food access indicators on stunting prevalence across 35 districts and cities in Central Java Province from 2021 to 2023. The independent variables include rice production, horticultural production, broiler chicken production, cow milk production, egg price index, and paddy field area. Panel data regression using a fixed effects model (FEM) was selected as the most appropriate analytical approach, based on the results of the Chow and Hausman tests. The results show that rice production, egg price index, and paddy field area have a statistically significant influence on stunting prevalence. In contrast, horticultural production, broiler chicken production, and cow milk production do not show significant effects. These results suggest that improving food availability alone is not sufficient; it must be accompanied by enhanced access and affordability. The study highlights the importance of localized agricultural and nutritional strategies in reducing stunting. Analysis indicates the decline in stunting prevalence in Central Java, although several areas still record high rates. Rice production, paddy field area, and egg prices index as significant factors influence stunting, highlighting the need for integrated policies that combine agricultural development with improved access, affordability, and nutrition education.

Abstract

Early detection and disease prevention are part of the health activities conducted at Sekolah Lansia Purbaya in Salatiga City, Central Java. A health survey on May 20, 2025, revealed that of 29 older women, most participants had hypertension (89.66%). In addition, 65.52% had a body mass index outside the normal range and 58.62% had abdominal obesity. These conditions showing the need of a community service program focusing on blood pressure management. This activity aimed to improve older adults’ understanding of hypertension through audiovisual education and exercise. A service-learning approach was used for 33 participants from Purbaya Senior Citizens’ School in Karangalit, Salatiga City. The activity included health needs assessment, program preparation, implementation, reflection, and evaluation. Participants received health examinations, take part in the Ngadi Salira hypertension exercise, watched the Healthy Heart and Controlled Blood Pressure (SEHATI) educational video, and had a group discussion. Health examinations in July 2025 showed that 60.61% of participants had stage 1 hypertension and 60.61% had abdominal obesity, while most had normal blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels. After the service-learning, all the participants reported enjoying the exercise session. During the discussion, many expressed interest in continuing the exercise at home and applying the information provided in the educational video. The Ngadi Salira exercise and SEHATI audiovisual serve as educational tools for managing high blood pressure at the Sekolah Lansia Purbaya.
