Abstract

Pregnancy is a critical period during which women’s nutrition knowledge and practices can affect the health and nutrition status of both mother and child. This study aimed to assess the nutrition knowledge, practices and factors associated with nutrition practices among pregnant women attending antenatal care at Yangon Worker’s Hospital, in Tamwe Township, Yangon Region, Myanmar. A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to December 2025 using a face-to-face interview method with structured questionnaires. The study included 169 pregnant women of aged 20 to 45 years. The majority of participants (86.4%) were aged 35 years or younger. In terms of educational attainment, the largest proportion (36.1%) had completed middle school education, while the remaining participants had either primary or high school education. A small fraction of participants (1.2%) illiterate. More than half of the participants (53.3%) were in their first pregnancy, and (89.3%) were in the third trimester. The total nutrition knowledge scores were 33 and the median score (IQR) of participants was 10 (4). A total (65.7%) of the participants had good nutrition practices. Nutrition knowledge scores and ethnicity were significantly associated with nutrition practices; (AOR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04–1.37), and (AOR = 3.46, 95% CI: 1.12–10.67). This study highlighted the needs in nutrition education, particularly in awareness about the importance of micronutrients and culturally sensitive counseling to address food taboos for promoting healthy dietary practices and reducing preventable complications during pregnancy.

Abstract

Overnutrition remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with increasing prevalence among young adults. Fast food consumption, characterized by high fat and low nutrient content, has been associated with various behavioral and environmental determinants, including media exposure. This study aimed to analyze the association between fast food–related media exposure and consumption frequency among young adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 158 individuals aged 19–29 years in Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia, using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured electronic questionnaire assessing media exposure and frequency of fast food consumption. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were highly influenced in fast food–related media exposure (68.4%) and reported frequently in fast food consumption frequency (51.9%). However, no significant correlation was found between media exposure and consumption frequency (p = 0.296), with a very weak positive correlation coefficient (r = 0.084). These findings suggest that media exposure alone is not a strong determinant of fast food consumption behavior. Other factors such as individual preferences, social influences, and environmental conditions may play a more substantial role. Future interventions should adopt a multifactorial approach by addressing not only media exposure but also individual, social, and environmental determinants of dietary behavior. Strengthening nutrition education and improving healthy food accessibility are essential to reduce fast food consumption among young adults.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW), defined as a birth weight of less than 2,500 grams, remains a significant public health concern due to its considerable impact on infant mortality and long-term growth dan development outcomes. This study aims to examine the relationship between maternal dietary patterns (non-vegetarian and vegetarian) and other maternal factors on the incidence of LBW in selected areas in Indonesia. Methods: This research uses a cross-sectional design involving 122 respondents, data were collected through structured questionnaires and a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The study was conducted from March to May 2025 using purposive sampling. Results: A LBW prevalence of 5.7% in Indonesia, with prevalence rates of 8.3% among vegetarian mothers and 5.1% among non-vegetarian mothers. Bivariate analysis revealed no statistically significant associations between LBW incidence and dietary type (p = 0.623), frequency of staple food consumption (p = 0.272), frequency of animal protein consumption (p = 0.751), frequency of plant protein consumption (p = 0.113), pre-pregnancy nutritional status (p = 0.941), gestational weight gain (p = 0.707), interpregnancy interval (p = 1), parity (p = 0.709), ANC visit frequency (p = 1), maternal education level (p = 0.650), and supplement consumption (p = 0.555). Conclusions: There is no significant relationship between all independent variables with the incidence of low birth weight

Abstract

Background : The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the eating pattern and reasons for choosing foods among adults. To consider this change, we, therefore, adapted the original Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ) before using it in the community. Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted among 64 adults aged 35-64 years from December 2020 to January 2021 in Jakarta. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to reduce items in the original instrument with 36 questions. The Keiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) value must meet the value >0.5 to assess the feasibility of factor analysis. Question items included in the final FCQ shall have an anti-image value > 0.5 and a loading factor value < 0.4. Four focus group discussions (40 adults) were also performed to help confirm the question commonly mentioned by the subjects. Internal consistency of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. A criteria for Cronbach’s alpha was selected as 0.60. Test-retest reliability was examined by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The KMO and MSA value from 36 questions met the expected criteria. We removed 16 questions that did not meet the anti-image values and the loading factor criteria from the original version of FCQ. Two questions about maintaining body weight and low fat intake were confirmed from the FGD. The final item questions consisted of four components, namely (1) Mood and convenience, (2) Health and ethical concern, (3) Price and natural content, (4) Sensory appeal and Familiarity, weight control components. Internal validity and reliability testing showed that the adapted FCQ was valid and reliable to assess the food choice motive among adults. Conclusion: The adapted FCQ for adults living in Jakarta during the Covid-19 pandemic comprised of a shorter list of 18 questions with good internal validity and reliability, and can be used as a tool to assess food choice motives among adults living in Jakarta.

Abstract

Underweight remains a multidimensional public health problem among young children, influenced by various factors, including suboptimal feeding practices. Evidence on the role of complementary feeding initiation timing and responsive feeding in underweight remains inconsistent, particularly in low-resource settings. This study aimed to examine the association of complementary feeding initiation timing and responsive feeding practices with underweight among children aged 6–23 months. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 86 children under two years of age selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews to assess feeding practices and anthropometric measurements to determine nutritional status. Underweight was defined based on weight-for-age indicators. The findings showed that neither the timing of complementary feeding initiation nor responsive feeding practices were significantly associated with underweight among children aged 6–24 months. These findings suggest that underweight in this population may be influenced by other underlying factors beyond feeding timing and caregiver practices. Comprehensive, multisectoral interventions addressing broader determinants of child nutrition are needed to effectively reduce underweight prevalence.

Abstract

Depression among young adults is on the rise globally, with a prevalence of approximately 2% among those aged 15–24 in Indonesia. One contributing factor is the shift toward modern diets low in dietary fiber, which impacts mental health. Dietary fiber is known to play a crucial role in maintaining gut microbiota balance, reducing systemic inflammation, and influencing the gut-brain axis. This literature review aims to synthesize the latest scientific evidence regarding the role of dietary fiber in reducing the risk of depression among young adults. The study was conducted using a systematic narrative review method through a search of articles in the PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar databases, published between 2020 and 2025. Of the seven studies reviewed, six met the inclusion criteria with a cross-sectional design, and one was a prospective longitudinal study. The study populations included Korea, the United States, Iran, Australia, and China. Although various depression assessment instruments were used (SDS, PHQ-9, HADS, BDI-Y, GHQ), all studies showed consistent results indicating that higher dietary fiber intake is associated with a reduced risk of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress. This protective effect is believed to be mediated by anti-inflammatory activity and increased production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical growth phase vulnerable to nutritional problems due to changing dietary patterns. The primary challenge in nutrition education is the availability of media that can attract adolescents' interest while delivering messages effectively. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using bilingual infographics (English-Indonesian) in increasing knowledge of a balanced diet among adolescents at State Islamic Senior High School 2 Pekanbaru. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population in this study were students of State Islamic Senior High School 2 Pekanbaru, with the sampling technique using total sampling, which resulted in 115 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Research variables included the level of balanced diet knowledge, individual characteristics (age and gender), and nutritional status based on anthropometry (Weight/Height). The data collection tool used a structured questionnaire regarding balanced nutrition guidelines. Data were analyzed statistically using the Paired T-test at a 95% confidence level. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents were 16 years old (53.0%) and male (56.5%). Most respondents had a normal nutritional status (67.8%), but overweight (19.1%) and obese (8.7%) groups were found. Knowledge analysis showed an increase in the mean value from 12.59 to 12.91. Statistical tests yielded a p-value of 0.007 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in respondents' knowledge after receiving the intervention. The largest increase occurred in the understanding of the balanced nutrition pillar regarding diverse food consumption (from 55.7% to 76.5%). Conclusion: The use of bilingual infographic media is significantly effective in increasing balanced diet knowledge in adolescents. This dual-language visual media can be an adaptive and communicative health education instrument to support the improvement of students' dietary patterns in the school environment.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy constitutes a major public health concern in Indonesia, with inadequate micronutrient intak, particularly vitamin C, identified as a key contributing factor. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) facilitates the absorption of non-heme iron, thereby playing a critical role in hemoglobin synthesis. This study aimed to examine the relationship between vitamin C intake adequacy and the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in the working area of Puskesmas Totoli, Majene Regency, West Sulawesi. A cross-sectional observational design was employed, involving 106 pregnant women in the first and second trimesters selected via simple random sampling. Dietary assessment was conducted using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), hemoglobin levels were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb digital device, and anemia was defined based on the Indonesian Ministry of Health criteria (Hb <11 g/dL for trimesters I and III; <10.5 g/dL for trimester II). Results indicated that 34.9% of subjects were anemic, and 46.2% had inadequate vitamin C intake (mean: 57.18 mg/day; AKG 2019 recommendation: ≥95 mg/day during pregnancy). Among subjects with inadequate vitamin C, 51.0% were anemic, compared to 21.1% among those with adequate vitamin C. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test revealed a statistically significant association between vitamin C adequacy and the incidence of anemia (p = 0.001). These findings underscore the importance of improving vitamin C consumption through fruit, vegetable, and dietary diversification programs to support iron absorption and reduce anemia risk during pregnancy
