Abstract

One of the unresolved health problems in Indonesia is undernutrition in toddlers which contributes to the low quality of human resources in Indonesia. Factors associated with the onset of undernutrition in toddlers include low birth weight (LBW), exclusive breastfeeding, basic immunization coverage in toddlers, and also have a close correlation with maternal characteristics in these toddlers such as maternal education, maternal employment, maternal nutritional status, gestational age and history of pre eclampsia during pregnancy. The study aims to see the dominant factors associated with the incidence of malnutrition in children under five so that appropriate intervention and prevention efforts can be determined so that there is no increase in cases of malnutrition. This study is an analytic obesrvational study with a cross-sectional approach and chi square test design. This research was conducted in September 2024. This research data comes from primary data, which includes, nutritional status of toddlers, mother's education, mother's work, mother's age during pregnancy and the addition of secondary data in the form of LBW history, history of pre eclampsia during pregnancy, and nutritional status of the mother during pregnancy. The population of this study was toddlers in Pancoran Mas village which amounted to 1,921 toddlers. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling with a total sample of 97. Based on the results of research on the dominant factors associated with the nutritional status of toddlers, it was found that the dominant factor associated with the nutritional status of toddlers is the nutritional status of the mother.

Abstract

Adolescent nutritional status reflects health conditions and is influenced by unbalanced diets, including high consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between total energy intake and frequency of UPF consumption with the nutritional status of adolescents at SMP PGRI Cibaribis, Bandung Regency. The research design used a quantitative observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 71 students was selected using proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected through the Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and anthropometric measurements. Bivariate analysis using Chi-square test. Results showed the majority of respondents had high energy intake (36.6%) and frequently consumed UPF (76.1%). However, there was no significant relationship between energy intake and nutritional status (p=0.312) nor between frequency of UPF consumption and nutritional status (p=0.644). This finding indicates that both variables do not directly affect the nutritional status of adolescents. Future research is recommended to include other variables such as physical activity, consumption quality, and lifestyle factors that can affect nutritional status more comprehensively.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a pressing global nutritional problem and a significant public health concern in Indonesia. Multiple maternal factors, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), inadequate nutrition, and poor environmental sanitation, have been linked to impaired fetal growth. However, the relationship between maternal STIs and childhood stunting is not well explored. Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between maternal STIs and the incidence of stunting among infants. Methods: A case-control study was conducted from October 2023 to January 2024 at Kassi-Kassi Primary Health Center, Makassar, Indonesia. A total of 30 participants were enrolled using total sampling, comprising 15 case samples (mothers of stunted infants) and 15 control samples (mothers of non-stunted infants). Data were obtained through structured interviews and medical records and analyzed using Chi-square tests to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The prevalence of maternal STIs (Hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis) was 50%. Mothers with positive STI status had a significantly higher risk of delivering stunted infants (73.3% in the case group vs. 26.7% in the control group), with an OR of 7.56 (95% CI: 1.50–36.15; p = 0.014). Conclusion: Maternal STIs are significantly associated with an increased risk of stunting in infants. These findings underscore the importance of routine STI screening and preventive interventions during antenatal care to reduce the risk of childhood stunting.

Abstract

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia remains a major public health concern among adolescent girls, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Although iron and folic acid supplementation (IFAS) programs have been widely implemented in Indonesia, anemia prevalence remains high, suggesting potential challenges in adherence. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between IFAS adherence and anemia among adolescent girls in Kulon Progo, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2024 and February 2025 among 71 female students aged 15–18 years selected through proportional random sampling. IFAS adherence was assessed using a structured questionnaire and categorized as adherent (≥4 tablets/month) or non-adherent (<4 tablets/month) based on national guidelines. Hemoglobin levels were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb device, and anemia was defined as hemoglobin <12 g/dL. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The majority of participants were classified as non-adherent to IFAS (93.0%). Overall, 56.3% of respondents were anemic. A statistically significant association was observed between IFAS adherence and anemia status (p = 0.008). Non-adherent participants exhibited a substantially higher proportion of anemia compared with adherent participants Conclusion: Low adherence to iron supplementation was significantly associated with anemia among adolescent girls. Strengthening adherence-focused interventions, including nutrition education and school-based support strategies, is essential to enhance the effectiveness of anemia prevention programs in this population.

Abstract

Introduction: Honey has long been recognized as a herbal substance with substantial health benefits, including its potential role in supporting successful breastfeeding and infant growth. One type of honey that has recently gained attention is Moringa oleifera honey (moringa honey), which is rich in essential nutrients and bioactive compounds that may contribute to improving both the quality and quantity of breast milk and potentially preventing stunting. This study was conducted in Maros Regency, an area characterized by a high prevalence of stunting and low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. Previous studies primarily focused on the benefits of moringa honey supplementation among pregnant women at a dose of 15 ml/day for eight weeks. However, no studies have specifically examined the effects of moringa honey supplementation on breastfeeding success and infant growth, nor have they explored optimal dosing in lactating mothers. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the optimal dose of moringa honey for enhancing breastfeeding success and promoting growth among infants aged 1–5 months Methods: This study employed a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design with three intervention groups receiving moringa honey at doses of 10 ml/day, 15 ml/day, and 20 ml/day, respectively. Lactating mothers with infants aged 1–5 months were randomly assigned to the intervention groups and received supplementation for four weeks. Breastfeeding success was assessed using a validated breastfeeding success questionnaire, while infant growth was evaluated through measurements of body weight and body length. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests to identify the effective and optimal dose of moringa honey. Differences between intervention and control groups were analyzed using the Independent t-test and Mann–Whitney U test. Within-group pre–post differences were assessed using the Paired t-testand Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Comparisons across all intervention groups were conducted using one-way ANOVA and the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: Overall, the findings reinforce the potential of moringa honey as a safe and beneficial herbal intervention for supporting breastfeeding success and infant growth. Comparable effects were observed across all dosage groups, indicating that a lower dose of 10 ml/day is sufficient to confer measurable benefits. This has important practical implications, as lower doses are more feasible, safer, and more affordable for community-level implementation. Given the persistently high prevalence of stunting and low rates of exclusive breastfeeding in many regions, moringa honey may serve as a complementary nutritional intervention that is readily acceptable to lactating mothers. Although no statistically significant differences were observed between dosage groups, the results demonstrate the clinical relevance of moringa honey in supporting lactation and infant growth. Conclusion: Supplementation with moringa honey at doses of 10 ml, 15 ml, and 20 ml per day for one month significantly improved breastfeeding success scores and infant growth, with no significant differences among the dosage levels. The similar magnitude of improvement across all groups suggests that the beneficial effects of moringa honey on lactation and infant growth can be achieved even at lower doses. These findings indicate that moringa honey is a safe herbal intervention with promising potential to support maternal and infant health.

Abstract

Introduction: Perceived breast milk insufficiency during early postpartum is a major contributor to the failure of exclusive breastfeeding. Oxytocin massage is a non-pharmacological intervention that may enhance milk ejection reflex, particularly with spousal involvement. Objective: This study aimed to analyze changes in breast milk adequacy indicators following husband-performed oxytocin massage based on infant defecation frequency and sleep duration. Methods: A quasi-experimental one group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 29 postpartum mothers selected purposively in Bajeng and Pabbentengan Primary Health Centers, Gowa Regency. Husbands performed oxytocin massage for three consecutive postpartum days. Breast milk adequacy was assessed using infant defecation frequency and sleep duration. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test (p < 0.05). Results: Infant defecation frequency increased significantly from pretest to day three posttest (p < 0.001). Infant sleep duration showed no significant difference on day one (p = 0.141), but significant increases were observed on day two (p = 0.032) and day three (p = 0.007). Conclusion: Husband-performed oxytocin massage was associated with improvements in breast milk adequacy indicators during early postpartum. However, due to the absence of a control group, causal inference should be interpreted cautiously.
