School-based nutrition education is an effective strategy to reduce the prevalence of stunting in all settings. The teachers are the key to implementing the strategy in order to improve the students’ behavior and nutritional status.Purpose: The study aimed to explore the teachers’ perceptions about stunting.Method: A qualitative case-study approach was employed using two focus group discussions in four secondary schools. The study participants were teachers of biology, physical education and health science, and religious subjects or supervisor of school extracurricular activities. A total of 22 teachers were interviewed following the guidelines and were recorded using a camera and tape recorder. The transcription process was done using an inductive-interactive model.Result: The perceptions of teachers about stunting are varied. It might be due to teachers’ knowledge, value, and experiences, which also d...

Women are the spearhead to preventing malnutrition and its consequences at the family level, which needs to be equipped with adequate nutrition-health knowledge. Therefore, service activities in the form of counseling are carried out to provide understanding to women about balanced nutrition, nutrition in nutritionally vulnerable groups, and nutrition-aware families. The method used in this service activity is a literacy approach with an extension model pre-post test to assess the effect of counseling from the Service Team. The results show that women's nutrition-health knowledge has increased by 19.4% significantly. Further efforts are needed to improve women's nutrition-health insight through community-based activities in Mangki Village such as PKK, Dasawisma, and Majelis Taklim by involvi...

This study was aimed to assess the association of balanced diet behavior and microcytic-hypochromic anemia among adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study has been conducted among 200 adolescent girls in five senior high schools in Maros regency on March to April 2015. Assessment of anemia was performed by Flow Cytometry and SLS-hemoglobin method, data of balanced diet behavior was collected using structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using chi- square test with SPSS software for windows. The prevalence of microcytic-hypochromic anemia was 19.5%. There were 41% subjects had low knowledge about balanced diet, more than a half (55.5%) had negative attitude to balanced diet, and 46.5% had a poor practice of balance diet. Knowledge and attitude about balanced diet had no association with microcytic- hypochromic anemia. In contrast, the practices of balanced diet had a significant association with m...

Over and undernutrition problems have been observed in all age groups, including adolescent girls, in which growth and development are critical in this period. The study was aimed to assess the association between nutrient intake, stunting, and overweight. This was a cross-sectional study involving 360 female students from four secondary schools in Majene, Indonesia. A logistic regression analysis was used to detect the risk of association. The present study found that the prevalence of stunting was higher than overweight and obesity (31.7%, 14.2%, 2.2%, respectively). Among obese students, 37.5% of them were stunted, and had low magnesium intake (83.1%). The logistic regression result showed that stunting (AOR= 3.22; 95% CI 1.509 to 6.868; p=0.002) and magnesium intake (AOR= 0.28; 95%CI 0.137 to 0.586; p=0.001) were factors associated with obesity among the students (p<0.05). An adequate magnesium intake may be be...

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of multiple micronutrient and iron folic acid supplementation on hemoglobin and ferritin serum levels of pregnant women who suffer from anemia. The study was a randomized controlled trial conducted in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Indonesia from June to December 2012. The subjects were 70 pregnant women with anemia were randomly allocated into two equal groups. The first group (n=35) received a multiple micronutrient supplement daily, second group (n=35) received a iron folic acid tablet daily, respectively for 12 consecutive weeks. Hemoglobin and ferritin serum were measured before and after the supplementation. Independent T and Paired T tests were used as appropriated. Mean hemoglobin levels increased significantly after the supplementation of multiple micronutrient (0.92±1.18 g/dl; p=0.000) whereas iron folic acid supplement did not increase significantly (0.39±1.17 g/dl; p=0.099), ferritin serum levels of the two groups were not significantly decreased after supplementation multiple micronutrient (8.18±29.77ng/ml; p=0.130) and iron folic acid (10.52±26.48 ng/ml; p=0.058). It can be concluded that multiple micronutrient is better than iron folic acid supplement to improved hemoglobin levels, but it has not been able to improve maternal iron stores. Thus, pregnant women who use iron folic acid supplements could not affectively overcome the anemia problems. Further research is needed to increase the duration of the intervention multiple micronutrient supplements, including multiple micronutrient supplementation from pre-conception through pregnancy, with a larger number of sample.

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of multiple micronutrient and iron folic acid supplementation on hemoglobin and ferritin serum levels in adolescent school girls who suffer from anemia. The study was a randomized controlled trial conducted in five schools in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Indonesia from January to October 2013. The subjects were 148 adolescent girl with anemia were randomly allocated into two groups. The first group (n=75) received a multiple micronutrient (MMN) and second group (n=73) received an iron folic acid (IFA) supplement. Supplement was consumed twice a week for 26 weeks. The average of hemoglobin levels increased significantly in both treatment groups after supplementation with multiple micronutrient (0.73±1.1 g/dl; p=0.000) and iron-folic acid (0.61±0.98 g/dl; p=0.000), While serum ferritin levels were not significantly increased in both of group, namely multiple micronutrient (2.03±23.2 ng/ml; p=0.420) and iron-folic acid (8.31±31.8 ng/ml; p=0.078). The increased levels of hemoglobin and ferritin serum in two groups did not differ significantly. The prevalence of anemia was significantly reduced in IFA group (25.9%) and MMN group (17.6%). It can be concluded, twice-weekly supplementation with MMNs for 26 wk is not more efficacious than iron and folic acid in improving the hematologic status of anemic adolescent girls. Future studies are needed to increase of the frequency of micronutrient supplementation (3 times a week) with sufficient macro nutrient intake and prevent the incidence of infectious diseases
