Abstract

This narrative review examines the relationship between nutritional status and the timing of menarche in adolescent girls, with a particular focus on early menarche. It explores how nutritional status influences pubertal onset and the associated health risks amid the increasing global prevalence of childhood overweight. A literature search of studies published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, resulting in five eligible cross-sectional studies from Brazil and Indonesia. The findings consistently indicate that higher body mass index (BMI) is significantly associated with menarche before age 12, potentially through hormonal mechanisms involving leptin and activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. Early menarche is associated with greater risks of metabolic, reproductive, and psychosocial health problems. Public health interventions should promote balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and routine growth monitoring to support healthy pubertal development. Further longitudinal studies are needed to establish causal relationships and identify additional factors influencing the timing of menarche.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that remains a major public health problem due to its substantial contribution to morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular complications. Effective health education is essential to enhance patients' motivation for hypertension control. This study aimed to analyze the effect of leaflet-based health education on hypertension control motivation among participants of the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) at Sokaraja II and Sumbang II Primary Health Centers, Banyumas Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 72 respondents were selected using a random sampling technique. Data were collected using a hypertension control motivation questionnaire administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) the educational intervention using leaflet media. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis to describe respondents' characteristics and motivation levels, while bivariate analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed an increase in the proportion of respondents with good motivation at Sokaraja II Primary Health Center from 25.00% to 63.89% and at Sumbang II Primary Health Center from 30.56% to 72.22%, accompanied by a decrease in the proportion of respondents with poor motivation. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (p<0.05). In conclusion, leaflet-based health education was effective in improving hypertension control motivation among PROLANIS participants. Leaflets may serve as an effective health education strategy to support hypertension control in primary healthcare settings.
