Background: Aceh province is one of the Indonesian provinces with the highest prevalence of stunting. Many factors contribute to this situation, including maternal knowledge. Although many studies have been conducted in Indonesia, literature exploring the correlation between stunting, mothers’ knowledge of stunting, and nutritional care in the Aceh province is limited. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the correlation between mothers’ knowledge of stunting, nutritional care, and the prevalence of stunting. Methods: This study utilized a quantitative paradigm and a cross-sectional design. The participants were 90 mothers selected by purposive sampling technique at Neuheun village, a village with the highest stunting prevalence in Aceh Besar Regency. The data was collected using a questionnaire measuring the mothers’ knowledge of stunting and nutrition care. In addition, secondary data was collected based on the anthropometric measurements of the children from the local community health center. Results: The findings suggest a significant correlation between maternal knowledge and stunting prevalence (p-value=0.003), as well as a significant correlation between nutrition care knowledge and stunting prevalence (p-value&lt;0.001). Conclusions: This study concludes a significant correlation between mothers’ knowledge, nutritional care, and the prevalence of stunting in children at Neuheun Village, Aceh Besar Regency. Such findings underscore the imperative for concerted efforts among stakeholders to enhance maternal understanding of stunting and promote optimal nutritional care practices.

The Correlation between Stunting, Maternal Knowledge, and Nutritional Care in Aceh, Indonesia

印度尼西亚亚齐地区发育迟缓、母亲知识与营养护理的相关性

Background: Over the last decade (2014–2024), the global prevalence of metabolic risk factors such as dyslipidemia (5-8%), hypertension (5-10%), obesity (10-15%) and elevated blood glucose levels (10-15%) has been steadily increasing. Objectives: To determine the correlation among the dietary consumption, lifestyle factors, and metabolic risk factors among the respondent of age 18-65 years. Methods: The respondent (n=419) were enrolled from August 2023 to February 2024 in Coimbatore, India. The sociodemographic characteristics, dietary intake, stress levels, and physical activity were measured using questionnaires. The respondent’s anthropometry, HbA1c level, blood pressure, and liver function tests were examined, and those with abnormal liver enzymes underwent abdominal ultrasonography for fatty liver diagnosis. The descriptive, Chi square and Kendall’s tau correlation coefficient were performed for statistical analysis. Results: This research showed a weak correlation among protein intake of the respondent and obesity (r=0.084 and p-value=0.026). A significant association was observed among blood pressure range and the consumption of fat (r=0.079, p-value=0.039), protein (r=0.158, p-value&lt;0.001). Correspondingly, the intake of nutrient such as energy (r=0.102, p-value&lt;0.001), carbohydrate (r=0.089, p-value&lt;0.001), and fat (r=0.156, p-value&lt;0.001) was positively correlated with an increased hyperglycaemic risk. Further, energy (r=0.202, p-value&lt;0.001), carbohydrate (r=0.146, p-value&lt;0.001) consumption level had positive correlation with fatty liver disease. Conclusions: A significant positive correlation as observed between and metabolic risk factors and dietary intake. Modifying the interventions to target these risk factors may aid lower the risk of hypertension, obesity, hyperglycaemia, and fatty liver disease in diverse inhabitants.

Background: Oral Nutrition Supplements (ONS) in the Minister of Health Regulation No. 29 year 2019 which was made as the guidance of nutritional management for children with nutritional problems, especially growth failure (still prevalent) and became one of Indonesia governments’ goal for MDG’s achievement. Objectives: To describe the regulations and distributions of ONS as a strategy to reach the optimal catch-up growth in children under 5 years-old in private hospital in Surabaya based on the Minister of Health Regulation No. 29 year 2019. Also to determine the effect of ONS on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) as a growth marker and lymphocytes as immune cells involved in immune response. Methods: A quasi-experiment with pre-post design involving children aged 12-60 months old. The subjects received 400 ml of ONS (~400 kcal/day with estimated nutritional requirement of 1000 kcal/day) under the provision of the pediatrician as an adjuvant to cover their nutrients deficits. Results: ONS intervention along with dietary counselling for nutritional therapy and medication improved the children’s growths parameters, including body weight (from 10.38±2.28kg at day-0 to 11.27±2.38 at day-90, p-value=0.000) and body length/height significantly (from 82.94±9.58cm to 85.75±8.93 at day-90, p-value=0.000). ONS also improved IGF-1 in children with growth failure. Conclusions: ONS intervention was proved to improve the IGF-1 levels, but not with the number of lymphocyte cells. The regulation of ONS must be under professional provision as it has the effect to increase body weight rapidly and must be stopped when the children receive the prescription reached their catch-up growth.

口服营养补充剂：在印度尼西亚的监管与分销——以泗水一家私立医院为例的研究

Background: Accurate estimation of energy requirement is significantly crucial for athletes to support performance. Meanwhile, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) constitutes the largest component of Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) and is commonly assessed using estimation formulas. Objectives: This study aimed to compare measured and predicted BMR using Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) and estimation formulas respectively among adolescent female basketball players in the Youth Sports Training Center (PPOP) Special Capital Region (DKI) Jakarta. Methods: A total of 12 adolescent female basketball players aged 14-18 years were subjected to BIA measurements to obtain BMR and body composition. BMR was compared with 24 formulas using paired t-tests, while mean differences and effect size were analyzed to determine the best predictive formula. Results: The results showed significant differences between measured (1473.6±201.2 kcal) and the majority of all predicted BMR (p-value&lt;0.05), except for Cunningham (1459.0±102.1 kcal), Harris-Benedict (1441.7±87.0 kcal), IMNA (1398.7±91.1 kcal), and Kim (1384.3±69.6 kcal). The smallest differences between measured and predicted BMR were observed in Cunningham (14.7±113.3 kcal) and Harris-Benedict (31.9±116.2 kcal). Effect size analyses showed large differences in the majority of formulas (&gt;1), while Cunningham (0.129) and Harris-Benedict (0.274) had the smallest effect sizes. Conclusions: Cunningham and Harris-Benedict may serve as alternative estimations for BMR aside from using BIA in adolescent female basketball players in PPOP DKI Jakarta. Future studies should consider indirect calorimetry methods to enhance BMR measurement accuracy. Similar studies should also be performed on various athletes in Indonesia with larger sample sizes.

Background: Stunting is a growth and development problem in children caused by chronic malnutrition and disease. There is no bibliometric analysis related to stunting globally and simultaneously using metadata from GS (Google Scholar) and Scopus on Vosviewer visualization from 2012 to 2022. Objectives: To study the trends in research on stunting through a bibliometric analysis of the widely used GS and Scopus databases. Methods: This method was used to investigate and evaluate a large amount of scientific data on stunting, revealing the intricacies of the evolution and novelties related to stunting over a decade (2012-2022). Discussions: Stunting studies have increased over the last decade (2012-2022). The authors most cited based on the Scopus database are Prendergast &amp; Humphrey. The authors most cited based on the GS database is de Onis &amp; Branca. The productive author based on GS is T Siswati from Indonesia. The top numbers one influential author based on Scopus are M. De Onis and P. Svefors. The total number one source article based on Scopus and GS is Plos One. PH Nguyen, P Menon, and VM Aguayo are the three authors who have co-authored the most documents related to stunting in the past decade based on VosViewer visualizations. Based on the results of the VosViewer visualization, six significant clusters were also discussed: review, Inequality, Ethiopia, anemia, trial, and Infant. Conclusions: Stunting prevention in areas or countries with acute stunting needs more detail from governments and WHO. We recommend that future research on the pattern of appropriate policies to prevent stunting be carried out.
