Abstract

Background: According to the thrifty phenotype hypothesis, individuals who have a Birth Weight less than 3000 grams are at risk of suffering from metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adulthood. The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus and metabolic syndrome in Indonesia and South Kalimantan is increasing. In 2023, the Indonesian Health Survey (Survey Kesehatan Indonesia /SKI) data showed that the percentage of Birth Weight less than 3000 grams in Indonesia reached 35.3% and in South Kalimantan 41.7%. This indicates an increase in the percentage of Birth Weight less than 3000 grams in South Kalimantan when compared to the 2018 Riskesdas data, the percentage of BW less than 3000 grams in South Kalimantan was 37.5%. This is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional research design and using secondary data from the SKI 2023. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately with complex samples and chi square tests. The results of the study found a significant association between Birth Weight and Chronic Energy Deficiency (p-value = 0.001) where mothers with a history of Chronic Energy Deficiency had a 5 times higher risk. Conclusion: History of Chronic Energy Deficiency among mothers is an important determinant of infants’ Birth Weight in South Kalimantan. Further, these findings might contribute to the prevention strategy of Non-Communicable Diseases in South Kalimantan.

Abstract

Background: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy is crucial for fetal development and long-term infant health. Dietary diversity is commonly used as an indicator of diet quality, reflecting the adequacy of macro-and micronutrient intake. This study aimed to examine the association between the Maternal Dietary Diversity Score (MDDS) during pregnancy and infant health outcomes.Methods:This study was a systematic literature review of 11articles. This article wassourced from scientific journal articles on Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed for original observational studies published between 2015 and 2025.Results:The majority of research was carried out utilizing cohort, cross-sectional, or case-control designs in developing nations in Asia and Africa. Research continuously shows that a more varied diet for mothers is linked to better birth outcomes, especially higher birth weight and a lower chance of low birth weight (LBW). Additionally, a number of studies found that babies born to mothers who varied their diets were less likely to have low birth weights. Conclusions:MDDS is crucial for preventing LBWand supporting the baby's long-term growth and immunity. The quality of food choices and focused nutrition education are equally as important as the quantity of food groups

Abstract

Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a significant cause of illness and death in infants and children under five. Infants' nutritional status and feeding patterns are factors that affect their vulnerability to ARI. This literature review aimed to summarize the incidence of ARI, the risk factors, and the evaluation of nutritional strategies. Methods: The literature review was conducted using articles published between January 2020 and December 2025. A search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus using keywords related to ARI. Results: ARI is very common among children under 5 years old. Malnutrition and low birth weight correlate with heightened risk and severity of ARI. Insufficient exclusive breastfeeding practices are associated with an increased risk of ARI, while exclusive breastfeeding has a protective effect. Environmental factors affect the likelihood of ARI. Evidence on micronutrient supplementation is varied and not ideal. Conclusion: Interventions for ARI in children require an integrated strategy that focuses on exclusive breastfeeding, improved nutritional status, and a healthier household environment.

Abstract

Introduction: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) remains one of the most significant public health problems worldwide. Prior studies have shown associations between low iron status/iron deficiency anemia and poor child development outcomes. Studies suggested IDA among younger children may cause permanent cognitive and/or developmental disabilities. Methods:Literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for studies published between2006 and 2025. Search terms included “anemia,” “children,” “pediatric,” “iron deficiency,” “cognitive,” “child development,” and “child nutrition.”Inclusion criteria of this review: pediatric populations (0–18 years), anemia-supplementation interventions, and outcomes related to nutrition, biochemical markers, or nutritional status. Fifteen core studies (RCTs, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and narrative reviews) met all inclusion criteria. Results:The reviewed studies demonstrate that anemiain children, primarily due to iron deficiency, is associated with impaired cognitive and developmental outcomes. Iron deficiency affects brain development by disrupting oxygen delivery, myelination, and neurotransmitter function, particularly during early growthperiod in which it is critical. The biological effectis linked to deficits in attention, memory, learning performance, and school readiness. Based on the evidence,further suggests that these early impairments may persist into later educational and economic disadvantages, contributing to a profound long-term loss of human capital. Conclusion:Childhood anemia, especially IDA, is evidently associated with impaired cognitive and developmental outcomes. Early prevention, screening, and appropriate iron interventions are essential to protect neurodevelopment and support long-term human capital formation.

Abstract

Background: Stunting and anemia frequently co-occur in children under five, exacerbating undernutrition burdens in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This narrative review synthesizes evidence on the prevalence and shared risk factors of concurrent stunting and anemia in children under five. Methods: We searched three electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar and included studies published from January 2010 to December 2025. Search terms combined keywords related to “stunting”, “anemia”, “coexistence”, and “children under five”. Results: The coexistence of stunting and anemia affects approximately one in five children under five in LMICs with individual country estimates varied widely at 5.6–60.1%. Shared determinants included child age, small birth size, recurrent infections, inadequate dietary diversity and intake of animal‑source foods and legumes, maternal anemia, short stature, low maternal education, household poverty, open defecation, and limited access to quality health and water, sanitation and hygiene services. Conclusion: Evidence supports integrated, multi‑sectoral strategies that target maternal nutrition, infant and young child feeding, infection control, and environmental sanitation to reduce the coexistence of stunting and anemia in early childhood.

Abstract

Background: The latest data from 2024 shows that the stunting rate in Malang City has increased by 5.4%, with the Dinoyo Community Health Center reporting the highest prevalence among the 16 community health centers, at 15.3%. Stunting is a national priority health issue due to its long-term impact on children’s physical and cognitive development. Indirect factors such as parental knowledge, parenting styles, and fathers’ smoking habits also contribute to the occurrence of stunting. This study aims to analyze the relationship between these factors and the incidence of stunting at the Dinoyo Community Health Center in Malang City. Methods: This observational study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 106 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via anthropometric measurements and validated, reliable questionnaires, and analyzed using the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The results showed significant association between knowledge (P=0.004), parenting style (P=0.004), and the father’s smoking habits (P=0.025) with the prevalence of stunting. Conclusion: that the parenting style variable was the most significant risk factor for stunting, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 3.9 (95% CI: 1.489–10.719).  The conclusion of this study is that sensitive interventions focused on improving parenting practices—particularly regarding feeding practices, sanitation, and psychosocial stimulation—play a crucial role in the growth of infants and toddlers.

Abstract

Background: The first five years of life are an essential stage during which the gut microbiota and the brain develop simultaneously. This development is mediated by the gut-brain axis (GBA), a bidirectional communication system operating through neural, endocrine, immune, and metabolic pathways. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are well-researched prebiotics that promote beneficial gut bacteria producing neuroactive molecules such as short chain fatty acids, gamma-aminobutyric, and serotonin precursors, which are associated with neurotransmitter synthesis, blood-brain barrier function, HPA axis regulation, and neuroinflammation. Methods: This narrative review discusses the potential mechanisms by which FOS and GOS might affect gut-brain communication in early childhood, drawing from experimental animal studies and clinical trials in adults and children. Results: In animal models, FOS and GOS reduce anxiety and depression-like behaviors and may support cognitive function through SCFA-mediated effects on neurotransmitter modulation. Human pediatric evidence remains limited, though recent findings suggest GOS can lower emotional responsiveness and cortisol levels in school-age children. Conclusion: Important gaps remain, particularly the lack of long-term studies in children under five and insufficient data from low- and middle-income countries. Well-designed pediatric studies are needed to understand FOS and GOS effects on early brain development.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) infants are highly vulnerable to postnatal growth failure due to physiological immaturity, increased metabolic demands, and feeding-related complications. Early feeding challenges may interfere with adequate nutritional intake during a critical period of growth and development, thereby impairing catch-up growth. Objective: This narrative review aimed to synthesize current evidence regarding early feeding challenges as barriers to catch-up growth in LBW infants. Methods: A narrative literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. Relevant articles published between 2016 and 2026 were reviewed, focusing on feeding difficulties, nutritional management, and growth outcomes in LBW infants. Results: Early feeding challenges in LBW infants include impaired suck–swallow coordination, feeding intolerance, delayed enteral feeding progression, breastfeeding difficulties, and inadequate post-discharge feeding support. These factors may contribute to insufficient energy and protein intake, impaired nutrient utilization, and persistent growth faltering. Inadequate catch-up growth is associated with adverse neurodevelopmental, immunological, and metabolic outcomes. Conclusion: Early feeding challenges are major barriers to optimal catch-up growth in LBW infants. Comprehensive nutritional and multidisciplinary interventions are essential to support balanced postnatal growth and improve long-term health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency and anemia remain major public health challenges among children in Southeast Asia, contributing to impaired growth, cognitive development, and long-term health outcomes. Although iron fortification has been widely implemented, program effectiveness has remained inconsistent across the region. This systematic review aimed to examine food system determinants influencing the success of iron fortification programs among children in Southeast Asia and their implications for Indonesia. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were performed using PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus. Studies published between 2015 and 2026 were screened for eligibility. Quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and implementation studies evaluating iron fortification interventions among children in Southeast Asia were included. Data were synthesized narratively using a food systems perspective. Results: Nine studies were included, primarily randomized controlled trials and community-based interventions conducted in Cambodia and Indonesia. Iron fortification interventions, particularly fortified rice delivered through school feeding programs, generally improved hemoglobin levels, micronutrient status, and cognitive outcomes. However, intervention effectiveness was influenced by adherence, cultural acceptability, caregiver practices, inflammation, gut health, and implementation sustainability. Conclusions: The success of iron fortification programs was influenced not only by nutrient delivery but also by broader food system determinants. Integrated food systems approaches were considered essential to improve child nutrition outcomes in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum depression was found to be linked to disrupted growth development patterns, particularly stunting. In Indonesia, challenges are found in correlating the two variables due to the lack of official data. The findings of this review may provide valuable initiatives for further research and intervention on maternal mental well-being. Objective: This study aims to review the correlation between postpartum depression and the risk of stunting, alongside the trends in Indonesia; and how it is compared with the global context. Method: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Taylor and Francis, and Google Scholar (2016-2026) for cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses examining the correlation between postpartum depression and stunting within a global and local context, alongside challenges faced by the healthcare system regarding postpartum depression. Results: Despite the lack of official data on postpartum depression, we found studies that examined positive correlations between depression and the risk of stunting in Indonesia. A higher risk of stunted children was found in mothers with postpartum depression. Several challenges in the Indonesian healthcare system were also found, these consist of lack of focus on mental health indicators, stigmatization of mental illnesses especially in mothers, a lack of access to maternal mental health care, and the limited training provided to healthcare workers on maternal mental health. Conclusion: Despite consistent evidence from multiple studies, Indonesia still faces major gaps in data, awareness, and mental health services for mothers; gaps that are worsened by stigmatization, and prioritization of physical over psychological healthcare. Integration of maternal mental health screening and support into existing mother-child health programs is recommended to mitigate stunting and improve child development outcomes.
