Abstract

Stunting is a serious health problem that is still high in Indonesia, with a prevalence reaching 27.6% in 2021. This condition is caused by chronic malnutrition and repeated infections that affect children's physical, cognitive, and motor growth. The Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) has been implemented as one of the interventions to improve the nutritional status of toddlers and reduce stunting rates. Studies show that PMT based on fortification and local food can significantly increase children's weight and height. However, the effectiveness of this program still faces various challenges, including limited resources, coordination between stakeholders, and social and cultural factors that influence the acceptance of the program in the community. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to evaluate the effectiveness of PMT in reducing stunting rates. The results show that the success of the program is highly dependent on nutrition education, the quality of additional food, and the involvement of health workers and the community. To increase the effectiveness of PMT, budget optimization, health worker training, and adaptive strategies based on local needs are needed. With a more comprehensive approach, this program is expected to run more optimally, reduce stunting rates, and improve the quality of life of children in Indonesia in a sustainable manner

Abstract

The level of compliance with healthy eating patterns in Indonesia is still low even though various campaigns have been carried out, such as the Healthy Living Community Movement (GERMAS). Low nutritional literacy, lack of motivation, and social and cultural influences are the main factors that hinder changes in people's consumption behavior. In this context, mobile applications emerge as a potential solution with interactive features such as food tracking, notifications, and visual education that are personalized and easily accessible. Previous studies have shown that approaches based on behavior change theories, such as Self-Determination Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior, increase the effectiveness of digital interventions in forming healthy eating habits. This study uses a literature review method with a qualitative approach to examine the effectiveness of mobile applications in increasing compliance with healthy eating patterns. Data sources were obtained from national and international journals in the last ten years (2015–2025), which were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the success of the application depends not only on technological features, but also on user-need-based interface design, integration of behavioral theories, and social and professional support. Therefore, digital nutrition applications need to be developed in a multidisciplinary manner to create an inclusive and sustainable impact in community nutrition interventions

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has a long-term impact on the quality of human resources. Although the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia shows a downward trend, the figure still exceeds the WHO threshold. One important determinant of stunting is the adequacy and quality of protein intake in early childhood. This study aims to explore parents' understanding of animal and vegetable protein consumption and its relationship to the risk of stunting. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological method was used to capture the subjective experiences of parents with children aged 0–5 years in areas at high risk of stunting. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Colaizzi thematic technique. The results showed that parents' understanding of the importance of protein quality, especially from animal sources, is still low. Economic factors, cultural perceptions, and low nutritional literacy are the main obstacles in providing balanced nutritious food for children. Vegetable protein tends to be the main choice because it is more affordable, although biologically less optimal. This study emphasizes the need for contextual and community-based nutritional interventions, as well as multi-sector policy support to improve community access and understanding of the importance of a combination of animal and vegetable protein in preventing stuntings

Abstract

In the last decade, fermented foods have become an important part of modern nutrition trends that emphasize gut health, immune system, and mental balance. Increasing public awareness of healthy lifestyles, coupled with strong media narratives, have driven the popularity of products such as kimchi, kefir, and miso. Fermentation not only increases nutritional value, but also produces probiotics that play a role in maintaining gut microbiota. Research has shown a significant association between fermented food consumption and a reduced risk of chronic diseases, digestive disorders, and mild mental disorders through the gut-brain axis mechanism. However, these benefits are highly dependent on the type and viability of the microorganisms contained, as well as the consistency of consumption. The lack of adequate regulation and education makes consumers vulnerable to commercial claims that are not based on scientific evidence. This study uses a qualitative approach through a literature review to synthesize empirical findings on the benefits and challenges of implementing fermented foods in a healthy diet. The results demonstrate the need for an evidence-based nutrition approach, accompanied by public policies that support the integration of fermented foods in a contextual and sustainable manner. Collaboration between researchers, governments, and communities is needed so that the potential of fermented foods can be optimized in supporting public health and sustainable food systems

Abstract

A balanced diet plays an important role in supporting adolescent health and development. Adolescence is characterized by rapid physical growth and complex psychological and social changes, so that nutritional needs are higher than in childhood. This literature study aims to comprehensively examine the effect of a balanced diet on the physical, mental, and social health of adolescents based on the latest scientific findings. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to scientific articles published in the last five years. The results of the study indicate that a balanced diet that includes the right intake of macronutrients and micronutrients contributes to optimal growth, endurance, cognitive function, and emotional stability. Conversely, an unbalanced diet is closely related to various health problems such as obesity, anemia, mental disorders, and decreased academic achievement. These findings indicate that integrated educational interventions and nutrition policies are urgently needed among adolescents to support the creation of a holistically healthy generation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of fast food consumption on the risk of obesity in school children using a qualitative approach through literature studies. Data were obtained from various scientific publications, reports from international health organizations, and relevant national journals in the last five years. The results of the analysis show that the frequency of fast food consumption is closely correlated with an increase in body mass index (BMI) and the prevalence of obesity in children. Factors such as exposure to advertising, school environments close to fast food outlets, and family habits play a major role in shaping these consumption patterns. In addition, low physical activity worsens children's nutritional conditions. Effective prevention strategies include interventions in schools through nutrition education and the arrangement of healthy canteens, restrictions on unhealthy food advertisements to children, and city spatial arrangements that limit the presence of fast food outlets around schools. In conclusion, obesity in children due to fast food consumption is a complex problem that requires a cross-sectoral and collaborative approach to create changes in healthier consumption behavior among school children.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of a balanced diet on the nutritional status of adolescents through a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Adolescents are an age group that is vulnerable to nutritional disorders due to biological, psychological, and social changes that affect their eating habits. The results of the study show that a diet that includes balanced nutrition has a direct impact on nutritional status indicators such as Body Mass Index (BMI), hemoglobin levels, and the risk of obesity or anemia. Low nutritional knowledge and environmental influences such as family economy, culture, and school canteens also influence food choices. Nutrition education that is carried out continuously, both through social media and school curriculum, has been shown to increase awareness and behavior of healthy food consumption in adolescents. Thus, the implementation of adolescent nutrition intervention programs must consider a holistic approach that involves family, school, and community. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for formulating strategies to improve adolescent nutrition preventively and sustainably.

Abstract

The shift in adolescent consumption patterns towards fast food dominance has become a complex global issue, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Fast food is now not only a practical choice, but also a symbol of modernity and lifestyle that is massively promoted by digital media. This study aims to examine the impact of fast food consumption on adolescent physical and psychosocial health through a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data were collected from various accredited scientific sources, including international journals, health organization reports, and relevant national survey results, with a publication period of the last five years (2019–2024). The findings show that excessive consumption of fast food is strongly correlated with an increase in the prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and psychological disorders such as negative body image and stress. Low nutritional literacy, minimal formal education, and the dominance of unhealthy food promotions on social media exacerbate adolescent vulnerability to the long-term impacts of such consumption. Therefore, multidimensional interventions are needed that not only target individual consumption behavior but also reform information systems, educational curricula, and regulations on fast food marketing to adolescents. This study emphasizes the importance of scientific literature as a basis for evidence-based adolescent health policies.

Abstract

Amidst the flow of globalization, modern lifestyles characterized by high mobility, instant diets, and chronic stress exposure have had a significant impact on the decline in the quality of community immunity. This study aims to critically examine the relationship between balanced nutrition and the immune system through a qualitative literature study approach. Analysis was conducted on 40 primary scientific sources from accredited national and international journals, as well as policy documents and reports from global institutions such as WHO and FAO in the period 2015–2025. The results of the study indicate that adequate intake of macro and micro nutrients, especially vitamins D, C, A, E, zinc, and selenium, plays an important role in maintaining the integrity and responsiveness of the body's immune system. The findings also show that deficiencies of essential nutrients contribute to decreased vaccine effectiveness, increased risk of respiratory tract infections, and weakened resistance to non-communicable diseases. However, the gap between knowledge and practice of nutritious food consumption is still high, especially in the lower middle economic group. Therefore, balanced nutrition is not only an individual health issue, but also a structural problem that requires cross-sectoral solutions. This study recommends the integration of nutritional policies based on scientific evidence, as well as public education based on cultural contexts to strengthen the community's immune system in a sustainable manner

Abstract

Balanced food consumption patterns are one of the important factors in supporting the growth and development of elementary school children. However, various studies show that school-age children still face challenges in implementing healthy eating patterns, which are influenced by low nutritional awareness, limited access to nutritious food, and the influence of the school and social environment. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method that aims to examine various scientific findings related to factors that influence elementary school children's food consumption and effective intervention strategies. Data sources were collected from relevant national and international scientific journals in the last five to ten years. The results of the study show that low nutritional education in schools and families, as well as the dominance of unhealthy foods in school canteens, are the main causes of unbalanced consumption patterns. Educational and collaborative strategies are needed that involve the roles of schools, parents, government, and the community to shape children's healthy eating behavior in a sustainable manner. This study is expected to be a conceptual reference for designing nutrition education programs and healthy food policies in elementary education environments.
