ABSTRACT

Background: The results of the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (Studi Status Gizi Indonesia, SSGI) showed a 6.8% declining prevalence of stunting in Central Java from 2019 to 2021. However, the prevalence decreases in the regency level of Central Java varied from 0.1 to 20.3%. This study aimed to analyze the external and internal factors that influenced the stunting reduction prevalence in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted over 2 months, from April to May 2022. In-depth interviews were used to explore the supporting factors (external, internal, and strategies) and the challenges (internal, external, and solutions) in implementing stunting reduction acceleration programs. The supporting factors and challenges were compared between the groups with high Gro, Sra, Kla, and Pek (GSKP) and low Sur, Mag, Teg, and Pat (SMTP) reduction prevalence. Data were analyzed using internal factor evaluation (IFE) and external factor evaluation (EFE). Results: In quadrant II, the high-reduction group (GSKP) had IFE and EFE scores of 2.61 and 2.76, respectively. In quadrant IV, the low-reduction group (SMTP) had IFE and EFE scores of 1.86 and 1.62, respectively. The high-reduction group (GSKP) was better than the low-reduction group (SMTP) in using external opportunities and internal strengths by avoiding external threats and minimizing the weakness in the stunting reduction acceleration program in each area. The existence of superior programs and innovations were the strengths that differentiated the high and low groups. Conversely, the low-stunting reduction group struggled to overcome major challenges, especially lacking leadership capacity. From the outside, lack of program sustainability at the village level and budget restraint were the threats found in both groups. Conclusion: Compared with the low-stunting reduction group, the high group could maximize their strengths and use the opportunities to implement stunting reduction programs.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Length for Age Z (LAZ) score determinants are complex and vary among different areas, but it is important for designing effective and efficient strategies to decrease stunting prevalence among children under 2 years. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of LAZ scores among children under 2 years in Central Java, Indonesia. Methods: This study was conducted on the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (INSS) dataset, which was a cross-sectional survey. Data on 3,430 children aged 6-23 months from Central Java province were derived from the 2021 INSS data. After missing data elimination, 3,238 subjects were included in the analysis. Determinant factors included direct and indirect factors. Direct factors were the mother's age, birth weight Z score (BWZ), birth length Z score (BLZ), exclusively breastfed history, dietary diversity scores (DDS), empty calorie drink consumption, unhealthy snacks consumption, and infections. Indirect factors were early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) and posyandu (integrated health post) utilization. Underlying factors were socioeconomic status (SES) and the mother's education. Bivariate analyses and multiple linear regressions were conducted. A path analysis with a hypothesized model based on the UNICEF conceptual framework was also performed. Results: Stunting, wasting and underweight proportions among the subjects were 19.1%, 7.6% and 12.3%, respectively. The mean LAZ scores were -0.95 ± 1.22; the mother's age was 29.7 ± 5.95 years; BWZ was -0.47 ± 0.97; BLZ was -0.55 ± 1.05; and DDS was 4.45 ± 1.51. The infection proportion among the subjects was 28%. BWZ and BLZ were positively correlated to LAZ scores, with r = 0.267 (p < 0.01) and r = 0.260 (p < 0.01), respectively. The mother's age was negatively correlated to LAZ scores with r = -0.041 (p < 0.05). Maternal education was positively correlated to SES but had no direct effect on LAZ scores. LAZ score determinants of BLZ (p < 0.001) and SES (p < 0.001) showed positive direct associations with LAZ scores, but the mother's age (p = 0.039), exclusively breastfed history (p < 0.001), and empty calorie drinks consumption (p < 0.001) had negative associations with LAZ scores. Conclusion: To prevent stunting among children aged 6-23 months in Central Java, Indonesia, intervention programs to increase the nutritional status of women at child-bearing age and nutrition education on child feeding practices should be conducted more efficiently and effectively.

ABSTRACT

Stunting is a chronic nutritional deficiency due to various adverse cross-sectoral environmental conditions, including food intake. This influences the linear growth and development of children's brains and their cognitive function. Providing interventions to meet stunted children's protein needs tends to prevent the further abnormal development of cognitive functions. High-protein foods are supplied from various edible local commodities in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the importance of feeding stunted children with high-protein diets and provide insight that local food ingredients in the country have growth-promoting potential. Through Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Nature, 107 articles were obtained with keywords related to stunting, such as protein intake, catch-up growth + stunting, and adverse effect + catch-up growth. The preferred citations randomized-controlled trials and systematic reviews relevant to the study question were compiled using Mendeley version 1.19.8. Based on the literature review results, stunting is hereditary and affects the quality of generations. The adequacy of protein needs is closely related to growth and development, hence, foods containing a high amount of the nutrient facilitate catch-up growth in stunted children. This conclusion is expected to provide information to policymakers and health agencies in the country concerning the education related to high nutritional local food, which can be reached by the community. Interventions with high-protein-containing local foods ought to be tailored to dietary needs and accompanied by monitoring for the presence or absence of unreasonable weight gain to prevent overweight or obesity.

ABSTRACT

Lindur (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza L.) fruit as a mangrove species has not been widely developed. However, the combination of lindur fruit functional food with soybean flour has high carbohydrates and protein potential to serve as an additional food product in emergency conditions. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the nutritional content, dietary fiber, organoleptic quality, and sagon shelf-life estimation of lindur and soybean flour, in accordance with emergency food quality requirements. The shelf life was determined using the Accelerated Shelf-life Testing (ASLT) method with the Arrhenius equation, where the sample was stored in an incubator at a temperature of 27, 37, as well as 47°C for 30 days, and the water content, peroxide number, and free fatty acid content were tested every 5 days. In addition, formulation P1 comprising 45% lindur flour and 35% soybean flour was discovered to be the best formulation, with a composition of 251.5 kcal/bar of energy, 6.3 g of fat, 4.4 g of protein, 30 g of carbohydrates, 15.79% dietary fiber, 1.84% ash content, and 4.03% water content. Therefore, the nutritional content of sagon substitution for lindur flour is in accordance with the emergency food quality requirements, except for the protein content. Also, the P2 sagon sample's shelf life was estimated to be 37 days in polypropylene plastic packaging at a room temperature of 27°C.
