Abstract

Suboptimal infant and young child feeding practices remain a major contributor to child malnutrition, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Maternal nutritional literacy plays a key role in shaping appropriate feeding behaviors. Digital platforms, such as WhatsApp and mobile health (mHealth) applications, have emerged as potential tools for delivering nutrition education. This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for studies published between 2020 and 2025. Eligible studies included digital nutrition education interventions targeting mothers of infants and young children and reported outcomes related to maternal nutrition literacy and/or child feeding practices. Due to the heterogeneity of the study designs and outcome measures, the findings were synthesized narratively. Fourteen studies were included in the review. Most were conducted in LMIC settings and involved WhatsApp-based or mobile health interventions. Digital education is generally associated with improved maternal nutrition literacy, dietary diversity, timely initiation of complementary feeding, and feeding frequency. Theory-based and interactive interventions have demonstrated stronger engagement than passive approaches. Digital nutrition education via WhatsApp and mHealth shows promising evidence for supporting maternal nutrition literacy and child feeding practices, although methodological variability warrants cautious interpretation.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas such as Cihanjuang Rahayu Village, West Bandung Regency, where a high prevalence of stunting coincides with a declining food-security index. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between household food security, dietary diversity, and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24–59 months. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 94 toddlers selected through proportional stratified random sampling method. Toddler height was measured using a stature meter and analyzed using WHO Anthro software. Household food security was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), and dietary diversity was measured using a 24-hour recall and the Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS). Logistic regression analysis (SPSS v29) was conducted to control for potential confounders. Results: The prevalence of stunting in the study area was 30.9%. Food insecurity was significantly associated with stunting (p = 0.022; OR = 3.130; 95% CI: 1.182–8.284), as was low dietary diversity (p = 0.009; OR = 5.881; 95% CI: 1.564–22.107). In conclusion, these findings highlight the importance of improving household food access and dietary quality through targeted family based nutrition education and community-level interventions to effectively reduce the prevalence of stunting.

Abstract

Cholesterol levels are vital indicators of the risk of metabolic disease. However, data on specific lifestyle determinants contributing to hypercholesterolemia within the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) population remain limited, despite their enrollment in routine monitoring programs. This study aimed to analyze the association between cholesterol intake, fiber intake, and physical activity with cholesterol levels in Prolanis participants.  This cross-sectional study involved 42 Prolanis participants aged 42–76 years at the Kedato Community Health Center in Bandar Lampung. Nutrient intake was measured using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), physical activity was assessed using the Physical Activity Level (PAL) assessment, and cholesterol levels were measured enzymatically.  Bivariate analysis indicated significant associations between cholesterol intake (OR=11.000; 95%CI: 2.366–51.141), fiber intake (OR=5.600; 95%CI: 1.218–25.751), and physical activity (OR=4.750; 95%CI: 1.226–18.406) with cholesterol levels. BMI and central obesity were not significantly associated with each other. However, in the multivariate logistic regression model, physical activity emerged as the sole independent correlate (Adjusted OR 4.848; 95% CI: 1.026–22.909), whereas the associations for dietary variables were attenuated and lost statistical significance.  Although dietary factors showed initial associations, physical activity was identified as the most robust independent correlate of cholesterol levels among the Prolanis participants in this study. These findings suggest that emphasizing physical activity is a critical component of strategies to address hypercholesterolemia in this population

Abstract

Adolescent girls tend to have a higher risk of anemia because their nutritional demands increase during growth and the onset of menstruation. Both anemia and nutritional status have been proposed to affect sleep quality through various physiological pathways. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the relationship between ferritin and hemoglobin levels and nutritional status and how these factors are associated with sleep quality among adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study will be conducted in April–May 2025 with a total of 80 participants from Pekalongan Regency. Information on sleep quality was obtained using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, ferritin levels were examined using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), and hemoglobin levels were assessed using a hematology analyzer. To explore the relationships among ferritin levels, hemoglobin, and nutritional status with sleep quality, a multivariate regression analysis was employed. Bivariate analysis revealed that hemoglobin levels (p= 0.005) and nutritional status (p= 0.007) were significantly associated with sleep quality, whereas ferritin levels were not (p= 0.054). In the multivariate analysis, only hemoglobin level was significantly associated with sleep quality (p < 0.001). These results indicate that lower hemoglobin levels may play a role in worsening sleep quality among adolescent girls, underscoring the need to promote anemia prevention through enhanced nutritional intake.

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia remains a health problem among pregnant women, with a prevalence of 27.7% in Indonesia. Consuming iron-and vitamin C can help prevent anemia. This study aimed to develop cookies formulated with soybean flour, chicken liver, and purple sweet potato to improve their nutritional values. Soybeans and chicken liver are rich in iron, whereas purple sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin C. This study employed an experimental method with a completely randomized design. The cookies were prepared at Universitas Negeri Semarang, and their nutritional content was analyzed at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang in January–February 2025. Iron, vitamin C, and crude fiber were analyzed using colorimetry, iodometric titration, and enzymatic gravimetry, respectively. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan's test. The results showed significant differences in the iron, vitamin C, and crude fiber contents among the formulas (F1, F2, F3, and F4) (p = 0.000). The highest values were found in F4, with 12.48 mg/100 g iron, 43.66 mg/100 g vitamin C, and 9.88% crude fiber. In conclusion, F4 has the potential to prevent anemia during pregnancy. With a serving size of 20 g, it can provide 92.4% of the daily iron requirement and 102.7% of the vitamin C requirement per snack portion for pregnant women.

Abstract

Anemia remains a health problem among adolescent girls, partly due to low iron intakes. The development of snacks based on local ingredients that are rich in iron and acceptable in terms of their sensory properties is a potential approach. However, studies integrating acceptability evaluation and analysis of actual iron content in a single snack product are limited. This study aimed to analyze the acceptability and iron content of catfish wontons with variations in catfish and wood ear mushroom formulations. An experimental study with three formulations (F1B, F2B, and F3B) was conducted and tested on 25 trained panelists. Organoleptic data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test, followed by the Mann–Whitney U test at a 5% significance level. The iron content was analyzed using the ICP-OES method with replication. The results showed that formulation F3B had the highest level of acceptance. No differences were observed in color, aroma, and texture (p > 0.05); however, significant differences were observed in taste attributes (p < 0.05). The iron content in F3B was 2.22 mg/100 g, which is equivalent to approximately 14–15% of the daily iron requirement for adolescent girls. In conclusion, the F3B formulation has the potential to be an alternative source of iron based on local ingredients with good sensory acceptance. Further research is needed to evaluate the bioavailability and contribution of actual consumption to iron adequacy

Abstract

Drug abuse remains a significant public health concern among adolescents, including those attending Islamic boarding schools. Mental health and nutritional knowledge are important factors related to risky behaviors. This study aimed to examine the mental health status and nutritional knowledge in relation to drug abuse risk among adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 152 students at the Ihyauussunnah Islamic Boarding School in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia, selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing mental health, nutritional knowledge, and drug abuse risk. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests with odds ratios were performed. Most participants had good nutritional knowledge (80.3%) and mental health status (86.8%), whereas 84.2% were categorized as having a low risk for drug abuse. Poor nutritional knowledge was associated with a higher risk of drug abuse (odds ratio [OR] =1.88; p=0.021), and poor mental health was associated with an increased risk (OR=1.72; p=0.042). Male students had a higher risk compared to female students (P =0.032). In conclusion, mental health status and nutritional knowledge were significantly associated with drug abuse risk among adolescents. These findings highlight the importance of integrated health education and mental health support programs in Islamic boarding schools.
