An imbalance in nutrient adequacy levels can cause nutritional problems, both undernutrition, and overnutrition. Adolescent energy needs are influenced by activity, basal metabolism, and the increased need to support accelerated growth and development during adolescence, while protein requirements in adolescents are determined by the amount of protein to support lean body mass and the amount of protein needed to increase lean body mass during accelerated growth. . This research was conducted with a cross-sectional design, a minimum sample of 44 people, taken by simple random sampling. The data collected included data on energy intake, protein intake, using 24-hour recall, physical activity using a 24-hour record of physical activity, and nutritional status obtained using anthropometric measurements and weighing. The study found that 81.8% had less energy intake, 90.9% had less protein intake and 45.5% of female students had light physical activity, 54.5% had moderate activity and 13.6% of female students had poor nutritional status, 65, 9% had normal nutritional status, 15.9% overweight and 4.5% obese. The proportion of samples with less energy intake had a poor nutritional status of 16.7% or higher than good intake. The proportion of samples with low protein intake had a 15% or higher nutritional status than those with good protein intake.
This research is carried out using design-based research methods to develop chemical teaching materials on crude oil based on environmental literacy. The process of forming and processing crude oil, fossil fuels, the quality of gasoline, the impact of burning fossil fuels and alternative fuels is presented in the form of a chemistry magazine oriented aspects of environmental literacy. The magazine presents text, images, graphics, tables, games, comics, poems and videos that are accessed via QR-code. This research uses Design Based Research that adopts the stages of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implement, and Evaluations). The results of the validation test show that the magazine made can be declared valid and is suitable for use. It is hoped that teaching materials can be used to foster student awareness of maintaining and improving the environment.
BACKGROUND: A good nutritional status will improve health for average growth and physical development, and intelligence. The prevalence of schoolchildren (5–12 years) with malnutrition status based on brachial fat area is 11.2%, and the number of elementary schoolchildren with malnutrition status in Cibereum village is 107 students. The government has a School Child Supplement Program to meet schoolchildren’s dietary needs. It is necessary to have additional food for schoolchildren to improve their nutritional status, especially for students with low nutritional quality.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of carrot catfish dumplings on the bodyweight of elementary school students with poor nutritional status as a form of supplementary food for schoolchildren.
METHODS: Researchers conducted this study in January 2020 at Elementary Schools at the Cibereum Health Center (SDN Cibeureum 5, Cibeureum 7, and Cibereum Mandiri 2) with a sample of 25 people. The research design used is quasi-experimental using one-group pretest-posttest and statistical tests using the Wilcoxon test.
RESULTS: The research test results showed that carrot catfish dumplings affected elementary school students’ body weight with low nutritional status.
CONCLUSION: Carrot catfish dumplings can increase students’ energy intake and protein intake so that there is an increase in the average body weight of the sample by 0.55 kg. Suggestions for further research to conduct a similar study using a control group as the comparison group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
