Abstract

Background: The 2025-2029 NMDP targets a reduction in stunting of 14.4% in 2029 from a baseline of 18.8% in 2025. This means that stunting must be reduced by 4.4% over 4 years, or approximately 1.1% per year. Indonesia has only managed to reduce stunting by 0.1% per year. This research aims to identify best practices, provide policy insights, or analyze success factors. Methods: The study processed aggregate data at the district/city level from Basic Health Research 2018, Susenas 2018 and Gross Regional Domestic Product (PDRB) data from BPS 2018 with a cross-sectional design. Stunting was measured in children aged 0-23 months using standardized value (Z-score) using WHO Anthro 2018. Other data variables are presented in percentages. Correlation tests and path analysis were used to see the direct and indirect relationships of various risk factors to stunting. Results: There is a significant relationship between access to food and the prevalence of stunting at the district/city level (p-value <0.05; r-value = 0.19). Pregnancy check-ups (path coefficient = -0.29) and access to food (path coefficient = -0.31) have a significant direct contribution to the prevalence of stunting at the district/city level. Conclusion: Research findings state that pregnancy checks according to regulations and access to food are risk factors for stunting that have a major impact on reducing stunting in districts/cities. In low and medium categories of stunting, the government needs to pay attention to the disparity in the percentage of nutritional services for these two factors, along with other factors that are already running.

Abstract

Background: Improving people’s nutritional status is the second indicator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are realized by working towards ending hunger, achieving food security and good nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. Safe and healthy snacks​ for toddler that fulfill nutrition adequacy are very important in supporting the growth and development of toddlers. Snacks in the form of yoghurt corn pudding are expected to be an alternative to supplementary feeding for underweight toddlers. This study aimed to analyze the nutritional content and acceptability of yogurt corn pudding. Methods: This research is an experimental study with a design using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) of 1 factor and 3 levels of treatment, with 3 repetitions. This formulation of corn and yogurt used were F1 (80% corn and 20% yogurt); F2 (60% corn, and 40% yogurt); F3 (50% corn, and 50% yogurt). Organoleptic test included colour, aroma, taste and texture using hedonic scale test form to 35 moderately trained panelists. Proximate nutrient content analysis was conducted in the Food Technology laboratory of Gorontalo State University. Data analysis of organoleptic results using Kruskal-Wallis Test. Results: Statistical test results show that there were significant differences (p< 0.05) for all parameters in the hedonic test. Yogurt corn pudding formula 1 was the best formula and acceptable to the panellists. The proximate nutrient content of the yogurt corn pudding was carbohydrates 22.85%, fat 1.43%, protein 7.85%, water content 66.40 %, ash content 1.47%, total sugar 28.57%, calcium 25.03%, energy 136.03 kcal. Conclusion:  The nutritional content of pudding formula 1 that meets 10% of the toddler Nutrition Adequacy Rate is carbohydrates, protein, energy. Those that did not meet the 10% of the toddler Nutrition Adequacy Rate were fat and calcium. The sugar content is quite low. Corn Yogurt Pudding can be used as an alternative supplementary food for toddlers

Abstract

Background: Upper back pain (UBP) is stiffness in the back that starts from the area behind the neck to the waist, which can cause pain. One type of work that is at risk is loading and unloading work. Loading and unloading workers at the port manually carry out their work with loads that exceed the limits recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Manual handling activities carried out continuously can risk causing complaints of pain in the upper back. This research aims to determine the recommended weight limit (RWL) and Lifting index (LI) values ​​on loading and unloading workers, as well as to analyze the Ergonomic Risk Level in manual handling Activities using the NIOSH Lifting Equation method with UBP complaints. Methods: This research employs an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample employed an exhaustive sampling technique, involving as many as 50 participants. Measurement of ergonomic risk used questionnaires and the NIOSH Lifting Equation. Data analyzed using Spearman correlation test. Results: Based on the calculation of Lifting Index (LI) value, most respondents work with a moderate risk level (1-<3), namely 33 respondents (66%) and assesment result of UBP complaints used a questionnaire showed that 19 respondents (38%) stated that they often experienced UBP complaints due to their work activities, 14 respondents (28%) stated that they always felt UBP complaints, and 3 respondents (6%) never experienced complaints. Spearman correlation test obtained ρ-value = 0.000 (<0.05) and r = 0.727. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the risks of manual handling work and complaints of upper back pain in loading and unloading workers (TKBM). This relationship is strong and positive (unidirectional), meaning that the higher the risk of manual handling work, the higher the complaints of upper back pain experienced. If the manual handling risk value can be reduced, workers can avoid the risk of complaints of upper back pain.

Abstract

Background: There are 2.2 billion people worldwide experiencing eye disorders, with 510 million suffering from untreated vision impairment, and Indonesia is a significant contributor to this issue. Asthenopia is a symptom caused by eye strain, which can lead to vision impairment. This study aims to assess the effect of eye exercise therapy on symptom of asthenopia. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The study was conducted at the As-Sunnah Islamic Boarding School in Cirebon, West Java for two months, involving 40 students selected based on inclusion criteria. Subjects were given the Visual Fatigue Index Questionnaire to assess symptoms of asthenopia. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Pharmacy, YPIB University, No. 111/KEP/EC/IV/2024. Informed consent was provided by the subjects through a 35-item consent form. Results: Eye exercise therapy has a significant effect on asthenopia symptoms, as evidenced by the Paired Sample T-Test results (p value < 0.05.with the average Visual Fatigue Index (VFI) score decreasing from 0.49 (pre-test) to 0.37 (post-test) in the intervention group, while the control group showed no significant change (0.48 pre-test to 0.49 post-test). Conclusion: Eye exercise therapy has an effect on Asthenopia symptoms. Future research is recommended to explore the use of eye exercise therapy for refractive eye disorders.

Abstract

Introduction: Taro, moringa leaf, and mung bean are local food ingredients known for their high nutritional content and dietary fiber as alternative substitutes for wheat flour in cookie production. This study evaluated the nutrient quality and consumers acceptability of cookies enriched with taro flour, moringa leaf flour and mung bean flour. Methods : The study was an experimental design using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting of three treatments with three repetitions. The cookies formulations varied the proportions of wheat flour, taro flour, moringa leaf flour, and mung bean flour as follows: P1 (60%:10%:1%:29%), P2 (50%:20%:2%:28%), and P3 (40%:30%:3%:27%). Data for protein, fat, carbohydrate content, dietary fiber were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, while consumer acceptability was assessed using the Friedman test. Results : Statistical analysis revealed significant differences (P < 0.05) in the protein, carbohydrate and dietary fiber contents among the formulations. Cookies formula F2 had the highest nutrient content. Consumer acceptability ratings ranged from moderate to extreme liking for all cookies variants. Conclusion: Substituting wheat flour with taro flour, moringa leaf flour and mung bean flour resulted in nutrient-dense cookies and well-accepted by consumers. These cookies can be considered a practical, nutrient-dense, and high-fiber snack alternative
