Abstract

The triple burden of malnutrition (stunting, obesity, and anaemia) is a serious problem experienced by toddlers in Jakarta's slums, with a prevalence reaching more than one-third of the population. The objective of this study is to ascertain the prevalence and coexistence patterns of these events in toddlers residing in the Jakarta area. The data presented herein were collected through the utilisation of structured interviews, employing a standardized questionnaire, with mothers/guardians of toddlers. The collected data were analysed univariately to determine the frequency distribution of respondent characteristics and nutritional status, followed by bivariate analysis to test the relationship between independent variables (socioeconomic factors, consumption patterns, access to health services) with nutritional status using the chi-square test, and multivariate with multiple logistic regression. The prevalence of stunting was 36.2%, and obesity was 16.2%. The coexistence of two or three forms (double/triple burden) was found in nearly 36.4% of children. Maternal education, family income below the minimum wage (UMP), imbalanced dietary patterns, and irregular access to integrated health service posts (Posyandu) were statistically significantly associated with the risk of triple burden. The findings of this study provide a robust and valid depiction of the concurrent burden of nutritional problems in children residing in a deprived urban area. The study also serves as a foundation for the formulation of integrated and evidence-based nutrition intervention programmes.

Abstract

Iron deficiency is a significant nutritional challenge for women of reproductive age, especially those who follow a vegetarian diet. Ferritin, as a key indicator of iron reserves, plays an important role in diagnosing latent iron deficiency, which can negatively affect reproductive health, including causing menstrual disorders. This study compares ferritin levels and the incidence of menstrual disorders between 50 vegetarian and 50 non-vegetarian women aged 18–45 years in Denpasar City. Ferritin levels were measured using the ELISA method, while data on menstrual disorders were collected through the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ). The data were analyzed using independent t-tests, chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression (α=0.05). The study found that the average ferritin level in vegetarian women (21.4 µg/L) was significantly lower than in non-vegetarian women (36.9 µg/L; p<0.001), and the prevalence of menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea and irregular cycles was higher among vegetarians. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that a vegetarian diet (odds ratio [OR]=2.98; p=0.014) and ferritin levels below 30 µg/L (OR=3.62; p=0.007) were significant predictors of menstrual disorders. Thus, a vegetarian diet and low ferritin levels are identified as key risk factors for menstrual disorders in women of reproductive age. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring ferritin status and applying appropriate nutritional strategies for vegetarian women to help support optimal reproductive health.

Abstract

Background: The development of digital technology, particularly mobile applications, has opened up new opportunities for promoting adolescent health. The "SehatPlus" application was developed as a medium for adolescent nutrition and reproductive health education based on local culture and the latest technology. Methods: This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of the SehatPlus application in improving adolescent health knowledge. The main instrument was a structured questionnaire based on nutrition and reproductive knowledge indicators according to the standards of the Indonesian Ministry of Health and expert validation results. Data were collected from the intervention and control groups after a four-week intervention. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted to describe changes in knowledge scores. Results: The intervention group experienced an average increase in scores of 20.2 points, significantly higher than the control group, which only increased by 6.52 points. Bivariate testing showed that the difference in score improvement between groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis using multiple linear regression showed that app use was the only significant predictor of increased post-test knowledge scores after controlling for age and gender (B = 13.21; SE = 1.88; β = 0.68; p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that digital learning media based on an inclusive approach, such as SehatPlus, can be an innovative and equitable strategy for improving adolescent health literacy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The present study aims to examine in depth the relationship between consumption patterns of ultra-processed foodstuffs and the nutritional status of adolescents in urban areas. The present study employed a quantitative analytical design, adopting a cross-sectional approach. The collection of data was conducted utilising a validated Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Additionally, secondary data were collected pertaining to demographic characteristics (age, gender, and socioeconomic status) and physical activity levels, which were measured using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A). The results indicated a positive correlation between the frequency of UPF consumption and the proportion of adolescents who were overweight or obese. The ingestion of UPF at a rate of four times per day has been shown to increase the risk of overnutrition or obesity by 2.85-fold (p = 0.000). Concurrently, a lack of physical activity has been demonstrated to increase the risk by 2.4-fold. The present findings underscore the significance of regulations and public policies in the control of the distribution and promotion of ultra-processed foods, with particular reference to the vulnerability of adolescents to the influence of unhealthy food environments.

Abstract

Nutritional issues among toddlers remain a major public health concern, especially in indigenous communities with limited access to basic services and unique socio-cultural systems, such as the Baduy tribe in Banten, Indonesia. This study aimed to identify key determinants of toddler nutritional status in the Baduy community using a cross-sectional design and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A total of 120 toddlers aged 0–59 months from Baduy Dalam and Baduy Luar were purposively selected. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements and structured interviews covering demographic, economic, environmental, and healthcare access variables. Bivariate analysis (Chi-square) showed significant associations between nutritional status and maternal education, household economic status, environmental sanitation, and healthcare access (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed these as significant predictors: low maternal education (AOR = 2.31), low economic status (AOR = 4.85), poor sanitation (AOR = 2.70), and limited healthcare access (>3 km) (AOR = 2.40). Child age and gender were not significant factors. The findings indicate that nutritional vulnerability in the Baduy is shaped by structural determinants tied to cultural norms, geographic isolation, and subsistence lifestyles. Effective interventions must be culturally sensitive, improve sanitation and food security, and ensure accessible, community-accepted health services, involving traditional leaders for sustainable impact.

Abstract

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of low birth weight (LBW), a condition contributing significantly to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Jakarta, as a densely populated metropolitan area, frequently exceeds the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines, yet local evidence linking PM2.5 exposure to LBW remains limited. This study aims to examine the relationship between maternal exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy and the incidence of LBW in a public hospital setting in Jakarta. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 150 postpartum mothers at a Jakarta public hospital who met inclusion criteria. PM2.5 exposure levels were estimated based on residential location using satellite-calibrated air quality data, while maternal and neonatal data were retrieved from medical records. Data analysis included Pearson correlation, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression. A significant negative correlation was found between PM2.5 exposure and birth weight (r = -0.476; p < 0.01). Each 1 µg/m³ increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 18.45-gram decrease in birth weight (p < 0.001). In the multiple regression model, PM2.5 remained a significant predictor after adjusting for maternal age, nutritional status, and gestational age, accounting for 51.2% of the variance in birth weight (Adjusted R² = 0.496). Maternal exposure to PM2.5 is a significant risk factor for LBW. Strengthening air pollution control policies is essential to improve maternal and child health outcomes in urban settings like Jakarta.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) remains a public health problem that contributes to high rates of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyse the association between pregnant women's micronutrient intake and the incidence of LBW. The study design was a prospective cohort study involving 210 second to third trimester pregnant women in Padang City in 2025. Micronutrient intake was assessed using the 3x24 hour food recall method, while the baby's birth weight data was obtained during delivery. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used for analysis. The results showed the prevalence of LBW was 15.2%. Intake of iron, zinc, vitamin D, and folic acid were found to be significantly associated with LBW (p < 0.05), while vitamin A and vitamin B12 showed no significant association. Further analysis revealed that iron deficiency was the dominant factor contributing most to the incidence of LBW. These findings confirm the importance of micronutrient fulfilment during pregnancy, both through a nutritionally balanced diet and supplementation, to prevent LBW. Therefore, micronutrient interventions need to be prioritised in maternal and child health programmes, especially through strengthening nutrition counselling and monitoring supplement compliance in antenatal care services.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, including Samarinda, where transmission often occurs within families due to close contact with patients. Family-based interventions are essential to strengthen preventive behaviors and reduce transmission risk; however, limited family participation continues to hinder their effectiveness. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family roles and pulmonary TB prevention behavior in the working areas of Karang Asam, Wonorejo, and Loa Bakung Health Centers, Samarinda. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed involving 80 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data on family participation in TB prevention were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: A significant relationship was found between family roles and TB prevention behavior (p = 0.001 < 0.05). Families actively involved in prevention demonstrated better practices, including consistent mask use, maintaining ventilation, and treatment adherence. Conclusion: Family-based interventions play a vital role in TB prevention. Strengthening family education, counseling, and empowerment—alongside collaboration among health workers, community cadres, and policymakers—is crucial. Implementing structured psychoeducation and community engagement strategies can effectively reduce stigma, improve adherence, and enhance TB prevention efforts.

Abstract

Background. Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are one of the most common health problems affecting children under five years of age (toddlers), especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Exposure to cigarette smoke in the home environment is a significant environmental determinant of ARI in toddlers and is an important basis for prevention efforts through family education and smoke-free home policies. Methods. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through direct interviews with parents or guardians of toddlers using a prepared questionnaire and confirmation of acute respiratory infection (ISPA) cases through records of visits to health facilities in the last three months. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square (2) test. Results. The results of univariate and bivariate analyses showed that the majority of the toddlers in the working area of the Muna District Community Health Centre in the Ambacang Puskesmas work area were exposed to smoke, which was as much as 60%, and more than half, which were 56%, had ARI. Furthermore, the results of bivARIate analysis showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between exposure to smoke and ARI (p = 0.003). Conclusion. The findings of this study provide a strong foundation for health professionals and policymakers to design educational programs and interventions that target reducing exposure to secondhand smoke for the health of children.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse the relationship between physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption with the risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) among adults aged 30–60 years in Temanggung Regency, Indonesia. A cross-sectional design was employed using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire covering physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, and diabetes risk assessment. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were applied to determine the strength and direction of associations. The findings indicated a significant relationship between physical activity and T2DM risk (p = 0.015), as well as between fruit and vegetable consumption and T2DM risk (p = 0.010). Adults with low physical activity and those consuming fewer than five servings of fruits and vegetables per day were more likely to develop T2DM than those meeting the recommended levels. These results highlight that adequate physical activity and sufficient fruit and vegetable intake are crucial in preventing non-communicable diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes. Such behaviours contribute to improved insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and reduced insulin resistance—key mechanisms in diabetes development. The findings are expected to inform the design of more effective, sustainable, and contextually relevant diabetes prevention programmes in Indonesia.
