Abstract

Stunting is a disorder of children's growth and development caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). Health workers at health centers, as part of the nutrition team, play a significant role in implementing effective interventions to reduce stunting rates. One of the trainings provided to health workers is the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) and Severe Acute Malnutrition training. This study aimed to measure changes in the knowledge of health workers before and after receiving the IMCI and Severe Acute Malnutrition training.This pre-experimental study involved 84 health workers from three cities in East Kalimantan. The training utilized interactive lectures, role play,  assignments, and practice sessions. A paired t-test was used to analyze the data. A significant increase in knowledge was observed before and after the training (p-value = 0.0001). It was concluded that the IMCI and Severe Acute Malnutrition Training was effective in enhancing the knowledge of health workers. Therefore, it remains essential as a routine training effort to prevent stunting.

Abstract

An increase in fat mass and a decrease in muscle mass are common physiological changes in the elderly. The loss of muscle mass increases the risk of sarcopenia, which negatively affects physical function. Therefore, accurate assessment of nutritional status in the elderly is crucial. Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used but cannot distinguish between fat mass and muscle mass. Calf circumference serves as a simple and practical anthropometric alternative to estimate muscle mass. This study aims to determine the correlation between BMI and calf circumference in assessing the nutritional status of elderly individuals aged ≥46 years. This research employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted at three locations during the 2024–2025 period. A total of 75 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. Data were obtained through measurements of height, weight, and calf circumference. The analysis showed a significant correlation between BMI and calf circumference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Calf circumference can serve as an important additional indicator in assessing the nutritional status of the elderly. The combination of BMI and calf circumference provides more comprehensive information for evaluating the nutritional status in the elderly population.
