Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem associated not only with inadequate nutrient intake but also with imbalances in gut microbiota and digestive tract disorders. One potential strategy to improve this condition is the development of synbiotic beverages based on local food sources, such as jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus), which contains natural prebiotics, including inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS). This study aimed to examine the potential of jicama as a prebiotic source in the development of synbiotic beverages for stunted children. This study employed a narrative literature review method through article searches in PubMed/NCBI, ResearchGate, Taylor & Francis, MDPI, and Google Scholar databases. The keywords used included “stunting,” “gut microbiota,” “synbiotic,” “prebiotic,” and “jicama.” Articles published between 2016 and 2026 were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review results showed that jicama contains oligosaccharides, inulin, and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) that have the potential to enhance the growth of lactic acid bacteria and support the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). In addition, a synbiotics product may help improve gut microbiota balance and digestive health in stunted children. In conclusion, jicama has the potential to be developed as a functional synbiotic beverage ingredient to support improvements in digestive health in stunted children.

Abstract

Fenomena beban ganda malnutrisi tetap menjadi tantangan gizi yang serius di Indonesia. Selain kekurangan gizi, tren kelebihan berat badan di kalangan anak sekolah dasar terus meningkat, terutama di daerah pinggiran kota yang sedang berkembang seiring dengan transisi sosial ekonomi keluarga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pendapatan orang tua dan status gizi siswa kelas 5 di SDN Telukjambe II, Kecamatan Telukjambe Timur, Kabupaten Karawang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Sampel terdiri dari 31 siswa yang dipilih menggunakan simple random sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner untuk variabel pendapatan orang tua, serta pengukuran langsung berat dan tinggi badan untuk menentukan status gizi berdasarkan Indeks Massa Tubuh untuk Usia (BMI-for-Age). Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas orang tua siswa termasuk dalam kategori pendapatan sedang (61,3%) dan tinggi (35,5%). Sebagian besar siswa memiliki status gizi normal (64,5%), tetapi prevalensi kelebihan berat badan juga cukup tinggi, yaitu 12,9% untuk kelebihan berat badan dan 16,1% untuk obesitas. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan positif yang signifikan dan asosiasi yang sangat lemah antara pendapatan orang tua dan status gizi anak (nilai p = 0,348; r = 0,175). Para peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa tidak ada korelasi antara pendapatan orang tua dan status gizi siswa kelas lima di SDN Telukjambe II; pendapatan orang tua bukanlah penentu utama status gizi anak usia sekolah dasar di daerah penelitian.

Abstract

Nutritional status among elementary school children is an important indicator of health, growth, and development, and may be influenced by dietary behaviors such as breakfast habits and pocket money. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between pocket money and breakfast habits with the nutritional status of students at SDN Adiarsa Barat IV, Karawang Regency. This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 30 elementary school students selected as respondents. Data on pocket money and breakfast habits were collected using questionnaires, while nutritional status was determined based on body mass index (BMI). Data analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between pocket money and nutritional status (p-value = 0.181; r = 0.338). However, breakfast habits were significantly associated with nutritional status (p-value = 0.003; r = -0.527). Students with poor breakfast habits were more likely to have overweight nutritional status, while students with good breakfast habits tended to have normal nutritional status. These findings indicate that breakfast habits play an important role in maintaining the nutritional status of school-aged children. Therefore, schools and parents should encourage healthy breakfast habits and balanced eating patterns to prevent nutritional problems among elementary school children.
