Abstract

Tobacco consumption remains a major public health concern in Bangladesh, where adult males represent the most affected group. Despite existing bans on public smoking, cultural norms, media influence, and limited awareness continue to sustain high prevalence. The objective of this study was to examine the socio-demographic determinants of tobacco use among Bangladeshi men, focusing on regional variation, education, media exposure, and family influence. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 275 adult males in Dhaka Division using a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression to identify significant predictors of tobacco consumption. Findings reveal that place of birth, education level, and media exposure strongly influence tobacco use, while age and religion show weaker associations. Men living with families were less likely to consume tobacco compared to those living independently. The study recommends region-specific interventions, stricter media regulation, and education-based awareness campaigns. Its novelty lies in highlighting family context and regional disparities often overlooked in earlier research.

Abstract

Malnutrition continues to threaten child health globally, with Thailand mirroring this trend: in 2022, 12.4% of children under five were stunted, 7.2% wasted, and 10.9% obese. While the country’s First 1,000 Days initiative—targeting pregnancy to age two—yielded early success in reducing undernutrition, emerging gaps among 3–5-year-olds prompted a policy shift toward a broader 2,500-day framework. This approach, launched in 2022, extends care from preconception through age five and integrates multisectoral action involving five key ministries. Anchored in the “Power of Three Pillars”—policy, partnerships, and resources—the initiative strengthens local governance, enhances service delivery, and fosters family and community engagement through sub-district Child and Family Development Teams and Village Health Volunteers. Key interventions include micronutrient supplementation, exclusive breastfeeding promotion, nutrition education, and digital support tools. By 2024, the initiative had reached all 76 provinces, improving stunting, wasting, and obesity rates to 10.2%, 5.5%, and 8.3%, respectively. Thailand’s experience demonstrates the importance of continuity of care, multisectoral collaboration, and community empowerment in addressing early childhood malnutrition. The 2,500-day model offers a promising framework for countries aiming to meet global nutrition targets and achieve long-term health outcomes by embedding child nutrition within holistic, life-course development strategies.

Abstract

Fulfilled nutritional needs play an important role at school age. The beginning of nutritional problems occurs due to knowledge factors, so it is necessary to implement efforts to provide information about balanced nutrition. Nutrition education research using lecture and puzzle game methods was conducted at SDN Pakintelan 01 aimed at determining changes in the level of knowledge and attitudes of students regarding balanced nutrition. The type of research is Quasy Experiment and uses a pretest-post test design with control group design. The sampling technique uses stratified random sampling. The number of samples of the control group given education (lecture method) was 32 people and the experimental group given education (lecture and puzzle game methods) was 32 people. There was an effect of education on the control and experimental groups on the level of knowledge of balanced nutrition (p-value < 0.001), there was no effect of education on the control and experimental groups on attitudes towards balanced nutrition (p-value = 0.89), there was a difference in the level of knowledge about balanced nutrition between the experimental and control groups (p-value < 0.001), there was no difference in attitudes about balanced nutrition between the experimental and control groups (p-value = 0.87). This study shows that there is an increase in knowledge from the control and experimental groups, indicating that the delivery of education and information related to balanced nutrition can be accepted by students of SDN Pakintelan 01. However, there has been no significant change in attitudes towards balanced nutrition.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Indonesia is the 7th leading cause of death. Diets high in sugar and glycemic index, and low in fiber are known to trigger hyperglycemia. Snack bars high in fiber and low in glycemic index are known to reduce blood glucose levels. This research aims to determine a snack bar formulation made from jackfruit seed and pigeon pea flour and analyze fiber content, total sugar, and glycemic index value. This study used a completely randomized design analyzing three different proportions of jackfruit seed and pigeon pea flour, namely F1 (30%:70%), F2 (40%:60%), and F3 (50%:50%) with two replications for each formula. The selected formula was determined based on laboratory value with Zeleny methods to analysis glycemic index value by one-group pretest and posttest design to 10 subjects. The selected formula (F3) was potentially used as a snack for type 2 DM as indicated by high level of fiber (17.31%), low total sugar (7.52%), and low glycemic index (22.30). The F3 produced a slow increase of blood glucose response of 98 mg/dl at minute 30th lower than the administration of anhydrous glucose with peak point of blood glucose levels of 137.7 mg/dl.

Abstract

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies remain a major public health challenge in Cambodia, with iron deficiency anaemia, iodine deficiency disorders, zinc deficiency, and vitamin A deficiency disproportionately affecting women of reproductive age and children under five. Food fortification—the deliberate addition of essential micronutrients to commonly consumed foods—has been widely recognised as a cost-effective population-level intervention to address nutritional gaps. Objective: To systematically map and synthesise existing evidence on food fortification strategies in Cambodia, focusing on policy implementation, industry production capacity and compliance, regulatory enforcement, and public health outcomes. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework and reported according to the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Six databases (Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) and grey literature sources were searched. Two independent reviewers conducted screening, achieving substantial agreement. Evidence from peer-reviewed studies, national surveys, policy documents, and technical reports (2010–2025) was synthesised across three domains: (1) policy and governance, (2) industry capacity and compliance, and (3) public health outcomes. Results:  Fifty-two sources were included. Cambodia has implemented universal salt iodisation and wheat flour fortification and has piloted rice fortification and fish sauce iodisation. Improvements in iodine status have been observed in line with expanded program coverage. However, reductions in anaemia and other micronutrient deficiencies remain modest and uneven. Compliance is higher among large-scale producers than small and medium enterprises. The multifactorial nature of anaemia—including genetic, infectious, and nutritional causes—limits the impact of iron-focused fortification strategies. Conclusion: Food fortification in Cambodia shows clear benefits in reducing iodine deficiency but requires strengthened regulatory enforcement, improved industry compliance, expanded fortification vehicles, and integration within broader nutrition strategies to maximise public health impact.

Abstract

The Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program represents Indonesia's strategic effort to strengthen human capital by addressing malnutrition among school-aged. However, evidence suggests that school feeding alone is insufficient without structured nutrition education to promote sustained behavioral change. The present study examines opportunities and feasibility for embedding nutrition education within MBG implementation. Two-stage design was performed, including curriculum content reviews and qualitative case study design. A systematic curriculum content analysis was conducted across the school-based curriculum (KTSP) (2006), K-13 curriculum (2013 – 2017), and the Merdeka curriculum (2022 - present), using predefined nutrition competencies and behavioral domains as analytical frameworks. Purposive in-depth interviews were undertaken with teachers and students (n=3). Data were analyzed thematically and subsequently mapped using a SWOT framework to assess readiness and implementation constraints. Results indicate that nutrition content remains fragmented, discipline-bound, and predominantly theory-oriented in KTSP and K-13, with limited emphasis on practical skills, local food systems, or behavioral reinforcement. The Merdeka curriculum provides structural flexibility for interdisciplinary and project-based integration; however, implementation is highly dependent on teacher competence, pedagogical resources, intersectoral coordination, and school-level innovation capacity.

Abstract

Obesity is the accumulation of excessive body fat and increases the risk of various non-communicable diseases. Obesity prevalence among FPH UI students based on health examination data in 2022-2024 has reached 13.6%, exceeding the public health concern threshold and requiring more accurate measurement than Body Mass Index. This study aimed to determine the relationship between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption frequency and energy intake with obesity incidence based on body fat percentage among 147 FPH UI students in 2025. This cross-sectional study utilized the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) based on NOVA classification to assess UPF intake. Body fat percentage was measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to determine obesity status. Results showed a 12.9% prevalence of obesity. Approximately 51% of respondents had a high frequency of UPF consumption and 46.3% had a high UPF energy intake. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between obesity and both UPF consumption frequency (p=0.034; OR=3.075) and UPF energy intake (p=0.010; OR=3.837). This study shows that high UPF consumption, in terms of both frequency and energy is significantly associated with obesity among college students. Nutritional education and interventions are necessary to reduce UPF intake and prevent obesity in the university environment.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical transitional period requiring adequate and balanced nutrition to support optimal physical growth and psychosocial development. However, unhealthy Eating Behaviors such as skipping breakfast, consuming unbalanced diets, and frequent intake of foods high in sugar, salt, and fat are still commonly observed. Parenting styles and breakfast habits are considered important factors influencing adolescents’ Eating Behavior. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parenting styles and breakfast habits with Eating Behavior among adolescents. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design conducted at SMK Negeri 62 Jakarta, South Jakarta. The population consisted of 578 active students, with 94 respondents selected based on inclusion criteria, including willingness to participate, being physically and mentally healthy, and living with their parents, particularly their mothers. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test to examine the relationships between variables. The results showed that most adolescents experienced an authoritative parenting style (62%), while authoritarian (72%) and permissive (67%) parenting styles were generally low. The majority of respondents had negative breakfast habits (71%). Eating Behavior was predominantly in the medium category (59%), while the type of food consumed was mostly in the low category (98%). Bivariate analysis revealed that permissive parenting style was significantly associated with adolescents’ Eating Behavior (p=0.004), whereas authoritarian (p=0.084) and authoritative (p=0.142) parenting styles were not significantly associated. Breakfast habits were also significantly related to Eating Behavior (p=0.006). In conclusion, permissive parenting style and breakfast habits are significant factors influencing adolescents’ Eating Behavior. Therefore, promoting healthy breakfast routines and appropriate parenting practices is essential to improve adolescents’ nutritional behavior.

Abstract

Childhood and adolescent obesity remain a significant public health issue worldwide. This review summarizes research on the relationship among obesity, physical activity, and diet. This study aims to investigate the relationship between children's and adolescents' obesity, their physical activity levels, and diet. A scoping review was conducted by assessing 81 research journal articles from 2014 to 2023 from electronic databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed. The search strategy used Boolean operators as follows: (“child*” OR “adolescent”) AND (“obesity”) AND (“diet” OR “food intake”) AND (“physical activity”), selected based on the inclusion criteria of children and adolescents aged 1-18 years and their obesity-related diet and physical activity behaviors, we elaborate on 9 articles. The findings showed that obesity is directly linked to lifestyle choices, particularly diet and physical activity. Dietary determinants include nutrition education, portion control, food choices, snack frequency, and intake of high-fat, high-sugar food. Meanwhile, low physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, high screen time, and lack of organized exercise also contribute to obesity in children and youth. Obesity has a high correlation with lifestyle and calls for early intervention. The public health policy should promote nutrition literacy and physical activity among children and adolescents.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with prevalence rates still above national targets. The complementary feeding period (6–24 months) is a critical window for prevention, during which inadequate protein intake significantly contributes to impaired linear growth. Local animal protein sources offer an accessible and sustainable strategy to improve dietary quality. This study aims to review scientific evidence on the role of local animal protein sources in nutritionally balanced complementary feeding for the prevention of stunting in Indonesian infants aged 6–24 months. A literature review was conducted by systematically searching scientific databases for studies published between 2020 and 2025. Inclusion criteria were studies conducted in Indonesia, focusing on children aged 6–24 months, and examining the relationship between protein intake, complementary feeding, and stunting. A total of 22 eligible articles were analyzed using a narrative synthesis approach. The findings indicate a strong and consistent association between protein intake and stunting. Low intake of animal protein increases the risk of stunting (Odds Ratio 3–7). Local protein sources such as fish, eggs, and poultry provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients, including iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support growth. Interventions promoting local protein-based complementary feeding have been shown to improve nutritional status. However, factors such as maternal knowledge, sanitation, and feeding practices influence the effectiveness of these interventions. Local animal protein sources play a vital role in complementary feeding for stunting prevention. Integrating their use with nutrition education and improved sanitation is essential to accelerate stunting reduction in Indonesia.
