Obesity caused metabolic changes caused by endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress mechanisms defined by waist size, HDL, triglycerides, calm blood glucose, and blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between stubborn obesity and metabolic syndrome in female adolescents.

The case group was 75 students who inhibited obesity, and the control group was 75 students with stunted and non-attended. Determine nutritional status by measuring size, weight and waist size. Metabolic syndrome was determined using three criteria: obesity, blood glucose level above 100 mg/dL, and lipid profile. Triglyceride levels ≥150 mg/dL and HDL levels ≤ 0 mg/dL; Data were analyzed on a descriptive test for univariate analysis and a Chi-square test for determining relationships.The mean values of HDL levels (39.80 ± 3.96 mg/dL), fasting blood sugar (112.6 ± 8.75 mg/dL), and triglycerides (102.34 ± 17.54 mg/dL) in the case group were higher than the mean values in the control group. There is a relationship between Stunted obesity and the incidence of metabolic syndrome in adolescents with ρ = 0.0479.

Abstract

 Posyandu (Integrated Health Service Post) is a form of community-based health service aimed at improving health status, particularly for toddlers, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. One of the challenges in managing Posyandu is increasing the number of toddler visits and the activity level of cadres in delivering services. Low toddler visit rates and inactive cadres are common issues faced by Posyandu. The success of Posyandu often depends on the active role of cadres, who are the main drivers of Posyandu activities. The success of Posyandu is significantly influenced by the participation of active and competent cadres.In response to this challenge, Nganguk Village created the "KITA OKE" Posyandu innovation. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between Posyandu innovation, cadre activity, and toddler visits. This research uses a quantitative method with a correlational approach and a saturated sampling technique, meaning that all members of the population are included as the research sample. As a result, all 40 cadres were selected as respondents. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires and observations during Posyandu sessions. Statistical data analysis in this study employed the chi-square test. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of innovation at Posyandu positively correlates with cadre activity but does not directly affect toddler visit rates. It can be concluded that there is a relationship between innovation and cadre activity, but there is no relationship between Posyandu innovation and toddler visits.

Abstract

 Anemia during pregnancy is often referred to as a "potential danger to mother and child," meaning it poses a significant risk to both. The effects of anemia during pregnancy include hemorrhage, miscarriage, and preterm birth. In fetuses, it can lead to neonatal death, low birth weight, and heart disease. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia is 48.9%. Pregnant women are advised to consume at least 90 iron (Fe) tablets throughout pregnancy. Proper consumption of iron tablets involves avoiding tea and coffee while taking them, as these beverages can inhibit iron absorption. Factors influencing anemia include compliance with iron tablet consumption and the frequency of antenatal care visits. This study aims to examine the role of Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) in supporting the integration of primary healthcare services to prevent anemia during pregnancy. It employed qualitative research method and involved research participants, including key informants (midwives and health cadres) and supporting informants (pregnant women). Data were collected using a purposive sampling technique and in-depth interviews, with interview guidelines and a voice recorder as research instruments. Data analysis followed several stages: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Posyandu plays a crucial role in preventing anemia during pregnancy at Puskesmas (Community Health Center) Berbah. Its roles include encouraging antenatal care visits, promoting Posyandu attendance, providing health and nutrition education, detecting anemia risk early among pregnant women, referring cases to healthcare facilities, and monitoring behavioral compliance.
