Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a major public health problem affecting adolescents worldwide, particularly girls who are vulnerable due to rapid growth and menstrual blood loss. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia remains high (25–40%), driven by poor dietary habits, low adherence to iron supplementation, and overall nutritional status. While Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age is a recognized determinant of anemia risk, local evidence, particularly from Jambi City, remains scarce. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 30 female students aged 15–18 years. The data utilized were collected during a Community Service Program (PKM). BMI for age z-scores were calculated using the WHO 2007 Growth Reference. Hemoglobin levels were measured using a portable hemoglobinometer (HemoCue Hb 301). The relationship between BMI-for-age categories (underweight, normal, overweight) and anemia status was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: The overall anemia prevalence was 40%. Based on BMI for age, participants were categorized as underweight (n=8), normal (n=18), and overweight (n=4). Anemia prevalence varied significantly across categories: underweight (75.0%) showed the highest rate, followed by normal (33.3%), and overweight (25.0%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between BMI-for-age and anemia (p = 0.041). Conclusions: Anemia was present across all BMI categories, with the highest prevalence among underweight adolescents. These findings indicate that nutritional status strongly influences anemia risk and should be prioritized in adolescent health programs. Integrating school-based strategies such as routine growth and hemoglobin monitoring, iron–folic acid supplementation, and engaging nutrition education.

Abstract

Background: Overweight in toddlers may further develop into obesity. The Sudimara Pinang Community Health Center area has the highest number of overweight toddlers in Tangerang City. This study aims to examine the relationship between dietary patterns, physical activity, screen time, and the incidence of overweight among toddlers aged 24-59 months in Sudimara Pinang area. Method : This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. A total of 93 toddlers were purposively selected from the five integrated health posts with the highest number of overweight toddlers. Nutritional status was assessed using anthropometric measurements. Dietary patterns were measured with a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), Physical activity with the Early Year Physical Activity Questionnaire (EY-PAQ), and screen time with the Seven in Seven Screen Exposure Questionnaire. Result: The findings revealed a significant association between dietary pattern (p-value = 0.016), and between physical activity and overweight incidence (p-value = 0.000). However, no significant relationship was found between screen time and overweight (p-value = 0.523). Conclusion: Dietary patterns and physical activity were significantly associated with overweight among toddlers, whereas screen time showed no significant relationship. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive intervention programs in the area, focusing on promoting healthy eating and physical activity.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition in children exists at both ends of the spectrum, undernutrition and overnutrition, each with significant health consequences. Probiotics, live microorganisms that confer health benefits when administered in adequate amounts, are being explored as potential interventions through their ability to modulate gut microbiota, enhance nutrient absorption, and regulate immune function. Methods: A narrative review of literatures published between 2004 and 2025 was conducted, covering randomized trials, meta-analyses, and reviews involving probiotics interventions in children. Seventeen key studies were categorized by nutritional status (undernutrition and overnutrition), pediatric health outcomes, and nutritional insights. These studies synthesized and cited into this scientific narration. Results: In undernourished children, probiotics improved weight gain, reduced anemia, enhanced immune responses, and lowered respiratory infection incidence, particularly in low-resource settings. In overweight/obese children, certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains improved BMI z-scores and metabolic health. Broader pediatric data support condition-specific benefits of probiotics in gastrointestinal and allergic diseases. Mechanistic evidence highlights bioactive molecules, immune modulation, micronutrient bioavailability, and gut barrier integrity as key pathways. Conclusions: Probiotics have context-specific benefits for pediatric malnutrition, with the strongest evidence in infection reduction and modest growth improvement in undernourished populations. Their role in pediatric obesity is promising but less defined. Strain specificity, dose, and duration remain critical determinants of efficacy, and further high-quality trials are needed.

Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency aeamia is common in children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where diets are typically low in bioavailable iron and infections are prevalent. As vitamin C enhances non-heme iron absorption, this review explores current evidence on its role in improving iron status in children. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar and included studies published from January 2000 to June 2025. Search terms combined keywords related to “vitamin C”, “iron absorption”, “supplementation”, “fortification”, “children”, and “anemia”. Results: Iron absorption in children is influenced by iron form, dietary factors, and developmental stage, with infants and young children at greatest risk of deficiency. Vitamin C is an enhancer of non-heme iron absorption, counteracting inhibitors such as phytates and calcium. Trials combining oral iron with vitamin C supplementation generally showed greater increases in hemoglobin and ferritin compared with iron alone, particularly among children with iron deficiency. Evidence from fortification studies is limited and varies due to differences in study design. Conclusion: Vitamin C co-supplementation might improve iron status in children. However, existing evidence remains insufficient to support specific recommendations for children.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition among children aged 12-59 months remains a major challenge in Indonesia, including in Depok City. Local Food-Based Supplementary Feeding (PMT) is one of the government's intervention efforts to improve or recover children's nutritional status. This study aims to determine the relationship between the provision of Local Food-Based Recovery PMT and other factors on toddler weight gain at the Cimpaeun Health Center in Depok City in 2024. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 71 toddlers aged 12-59 months who were purposively selected. Data were collected through questionnaires and secondary data from the health center. Results: The results showed that 60.6% of toddlers experienced adequate weight gain after participating in the Local PMT program. There was a significant association between the appropriateness of the provision of local PMT and weight gain (p = 0.027; OR = 4.464; 95% CI: 1.155-17.252), meaning that toddlers who received inadequate local food-based recovery PMT had a 4.464 times greater risk of underweight gain compared to toddlers who received inadequate PMT. There was a significant association between infection and weight gain (p = 0.015). Infected toddlers had a higher tendency to gain weight. Meanwhile, variables such as diet, mother's education, knowledge, parenting, posyandu visits, and PHBS did not show a significant relationship with toddler weight gain. Conclusions: The provision of an appropriate local food-based recovery PMT and the health condition of the child are the factors most associated with under-five weight gain. Other factors such as infection may encourage more attention from parents, which contributes to children's nutritional recovery.
