Eating Habits of Overweight Children at Sekolah Dasar Budya Wacana, Yogyakarta (original) (raw)

The prevalence of childhood obesity in Indonesia is high with nearly 10% to 20% of the children and adolescents [3]

2020

The risk of obesity and chronic diseases rises with the increase in one’s level of welfare. Among the influencing factors for such phenomenon are eating behavior and lifestyle. Modern lifestyle which demands that everything be done in an instant makes people consume food with the nutritional adequacy disregarded. The emergence of fast food and junk food in Indonesia has also exerted an influence on people’s consumption pattern. Some preventive and mitigating efforts can be made, one of which is provision of nutrition education. This research was aimed to determine the influence of nutrition education on the change of consumption knowledge, behavior, and habit of the students of Universitas Slamet Riyadi Surakarta. The respondents enrolled in this research were of the ages of 19–21 years. They were purposively selected on the basis that some of them were able to plan and select which food to be consumed. This research employed questionnaires during pre-test and posttest, with the res...

9. Parents’ characteristics, food habits and physical activity of overweight schoolchildren in Bogor City, Indonesia

Diversity and change in food wellbeing

Overweight and obesity is a serious problem among urban schoolchildren that continues into adulthood and leads to metabolic and degenerative diseases. In the context of urban development and social change, children's food habits and low physical activity put them at risk of childhood obesity. More specifically, factors such as relatively high educational level and income of parents, provision of pocket money, and easily accessible fast food restaurants, play a role in this. This study aimed to assess the impact of such factors on the nutritional status and physical fitness of middle-class schoolchildren in the city of Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. A cross sectional study involving 224 grade-5 elementary schoolchildren was done. Data collection included a mix of methods. Results shows that overweight risk is 4.5 higher for non-fit children compared to fit children. Overweight children had significantly lower physical fitness scores. Children with pocket money more than IDR 10,000/day (€ 0.66) had 2.7 times more risk to become overweight than children with less pocket money. Low education of the mother decreased overweight risk 0.4 times. Mothers with a high education mostly had an occupation outside the home, hence had less time for food care. High protein adequacy levels of more than 120% decreased overweight risk 0.4 times. These findings suggest that social change and development in the urban context have a negative impact on the nutritional status and fitness of schoolchildren.

Schoolchildren s Lifestyle Behaviours and Their Predictors: Healthy Weight Development Model in Urban Indonesia

2017

Objectives: Child obesity, a major risk factor of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes or heart diseases, has become a major health issue in Indonesia, especially in the wake of economic growth. Nevertheless, child obesity prevention programs and relevant information is limited. Our study aimed to investigate child obesity status, lifestyle behaviours (LSBs) and their predictors, and their structures, in order to develop a model to discuss a collaborative healthy weight development program for schoolchildren in urban Indonesia. There were two objectives of our study: (1) In order to investigate schoolchildren's obesity status, LSBs, and their predictors and (2) In order to examine relationships among schoolchildren's obesity status, LSBs, and their predictors in urban Indonesia. Methods: The design was a cross-sectional study using physical measurement tools and an 82 item selfdeveloped questionnaire based on interviews for 9 to 11 year old school children in 2015. Sampling included 5 schools resulting in 594 eligible students with 579 (97.5%) responding. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and a structural equation modeling. The Research Ethics Committee of St. Luke's International University (Approval Number 15-036) approved our study. Results: Physical measurement classified participants 40% as obese or overweight and 35% as underweight. Descriptive statistics revealed limited behaviours and environments in access to snacks, physical activity (PA), weight-monitoring, obesity education, and support. The models by type of schools and by sex (CFI=0.88-0.91) indicated; boys' trouble sleeping (β=-0.18), private schoolchildren's frequency of junk and outside foods (β=-0.18 and -0.19) predicted Body Mass Index. Safe-PA environment (β=0.17-0.48) and family support (β=0.36-0.59) predicted PA LSBs. For girls, PA-peer presence predicted PA LSBs (β=0.88). Conclusion: These findings could help developing the effective obesity-prevention programs such as healthy dietary environment, safe-PA-environment, PA-peer-group support for girls, family-involved dietary-PA interventions in urban Indonesia.

A Qualitative Inquiry into the Eating Behavior and Physical Activity of Adolescent Girls and Boys in Indonesia

Food and Nutrition Bulletin, 2021

Background: Despite the rising double burden of malnutrition, adolescent nutrition has received little attention in Indonesia. Eating and physical activity behaviors established in adolescence are known to track into adulthood and may contribute to chronic diseases in later life. This study aimed to explore the eating behaviors and physical activity of Indonesian adolescents, and their influencing factors. Methods: The study, designed as a qualitative study, was conducted in 2 selected districts in Indonesia: Klaten and Lombok Barat. Data were collected through immersion, open and informal discussions, and participant observations with 302 adolescent girls and boys. Results: The eating and physical activity behaviors of adolescent boys and girls are influenced by contextual changes in their family lifestyles and environment. The adolescents in this study only conflate physical activity with participation in sport. Even when a wider view of physical activity is cast, their level of p...

Eating behaviour of adolescent schoolgirls in Malang, East Java: A qualitative study

Malaysian journal of nutrition, 2019

Introduction: Poor eating behaviour is known to lead to nutritional deficiency among adolescents. At the same time, poor eating behaviour characterised by dietary excesses could lead to overweight and obesity. The present study aimed to explore the eating behaviour of adolescent schoolgirls in Malang, East Java Province, Indonesia, and to determine the factors that influenced their eating behaviour. Methods: This was a qualitative study, guided by the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), which focused on individual and environmental influences to better understand health-related behaviours, such as eating behaviour. Triangulation was applied to the study subjects (adolescent girls, their mothers, and school staff). The methods used included individual in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Qualitative data analyses were performed using Atlas.ti 7. Results: Most participants showed poor eating behaviour that was characterised by skipping breakfast, frequent consumption of fast foods and the consumption of local food with low nutrient content. Their eating behaviour was influenced by individual factors including personal preferences, the price of the food, and by environmental factors, such as the family, school and neighbourhood. Conclusion: Our findings showed that adolescent girls in Malang appeared to be aware of healthy eating but they showed unsatisfactory eating practices. Interventions are suggested to improve the poor eating behaviour of the adolescents toward avoiding malnutrition consequences.
