Adequate nutrition, beginning in early stages of life, is crucial to ensure good physical and mental development as well as long-term health. Efforts in improving nutritional status in Indonesia are mostly focused to the vulnerable groups, mainly infant (baby under one year old) and toodler (baby under two years old). Childhood underweight and overweight are an important public health problem, as these conditions tend to have a chronic condition that cause a wide range of future morbidity. Overweight in young children is associated with future cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and psychosocial problems and stunted children suffer from impaired growth with permanent consequences in their adult life that face a high risk of morbidity and mortality. In this case, parents (especially mothers as the role models) are mostly responsible on healthy eating behaviors of their young children. With refers to this empirical fact, the objective of this study was to assess the association of mother’s role and knowledge in feeding young children practices on the nutritional status of their infants and toddlers. Analytical cross-sectional study was used in this study. The sampling technique was purposive sampling and a total of samples were 136 mothers. Data were processed and analyzed by using a computer program with a chi-square test at a significance level of 95%. Overall, results of the statistical test showed that there were no significant associations between role and knowledge of the mothers and adequate nutritional status of their infants and toddlers at a p-value of 0.544> 0.05 and p-value of 0.749 > 0.05 respectively. Based on results of this study, more intensive nutrition intervention programs are necessary to prevent poor nutritional status of young children particularly for infant and toddler, conducting more active coordination in health cross-programs, and improving nutrition counseling programs and suitable health services for the concerned public.
Introduction: The Council Foreign Relations (CFR) study states that the phenomenon of child marriage is found in many parts of the world. Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest percentage of child marriages in the world (rank 37) and the second highest in ASEAN after Cambodia (WHO 2016). Methods: This type of research used quantitative research methods used are quasi-experimental (quasi-experimental) with pretest-posttest two group design. This study aims to determine how the effectiveness of media counseling, leaflets and lecture methods against student knowledge and attitudes about early marriage at SMA Negeri 1 Pancur Batu. This research was conducted in SMA Negeri 1 Pancur Batu with a population of 124 students with a sample of 55 students. Results and Discussion: The results of the study found that the average knowledge of students about early marriage before being given health education with leaflet media was (21.4%) and after being given health education was (28.6%). While the results of the lecture method can be obtained that the average knowledge of students about early marriage before being given health education was (3.6%) and after being given health education by the lecture method was (89.3%). Conclusion:.The conclusion of this research was that the Lecture Method is more effective in increasing students' knowledge and attitudes about early marriage compared to the media leaflets.
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) of anemia pregnant women is a major contributor to adverse birth outcomes of newborns. This research aims to assess the association between pregnancy induced hypertension of anemia pregnant women and poor birth outcomes of newborns, especially body length of newborns at delivery.MATERIAL & METHODS: One hundred and eight pregnant women are enrolled according to the inclusion criteria. Sociodemographic data, anthropometric measurements, obstetric profiles (gravida), and data of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were collected in this study. Trained midwives drew blood samples from pregnant women as the study samples to measure their hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and to assess their anemia. Gestational age (GA), types of delivery, anthropometric measurements of newborns (length, weight, head circumference, abdominal circumference and chest circumference) were conducted at delivery. Univariate and bivariate linear analyses were conducted to compare birth outcomes of newborns for each groupRESULTS: Of the total 108 pregnant women as the study samples, 25 pregnant women had blood pressures at normal level and normal Hb concentrations, 36 pregnant women had pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), 29 pregnant women had anemia and 18 pregnant women had pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) of anemia pregnant women respectively. All groups showed significantly different characteristics of pregnant women in terms of age (p = 0,027), height (p = 0,019), weight (p = 0.000), body mass index (BMI) (p = 0,001), Hb concentration (p = 0.000), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.000), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.000). Mean length of newborns was significantly lower in pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) with anemia pregnant women (p = 0.001). Statistical tests showed that there were negative correlations between maternal Hb concentrations and birth length (p = 0.024) as well as blood pressure and birth length (p = 0.000).CONCLUSION: The average length of newborns in pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) of anemia pregnant women was statistically significant shorter length (stunting) than the normal group. Thus, it is suggested that women who give birth with these conditions should pay more attention to the intake of good nutrition in the first 5 years of their children (the gold period) to prevent long-term adverse effects.
The increase in life expectancy indicates that more and more menopausal women in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of age of menarche and history of hormonal contraception on menopause age. The subjects of this cross-sectional study were 91 women selected by purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and then analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the age of menopause was influenced by the age of menarche (p-value = 0.004) and was not influenced by a history of hormonal contraception (p-value = 0.271). It is expected that health workers increase counseling so that mothers know the factors that influence menopause. Keywords: menopause; menarche; hormonal contraception ABSTRAK Meningkatnya usia harapan hidup menandakan bahwa semakin banyak wanita menopause di Indonesia.

Anemia is a health problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries, an estimated 30% of the world's population suffer from anemia. In Indonesia based on the results of the Basic Health Research (BHR), the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women of Indonesia in 2018 was 48.9% higher than in 2013 which was 37.1% and in 2007 of 24.5%. Dates palm are type of fruit that is rich in iron. Iron is needed in the formation of heme which can increase hemoglobin levels. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Ajwa date palm to increase hemoglobin levels in third trimester pregnant women at the Sumiariani Clinic and Pratama Sari Clinic in 2019 This type of research was quasy experiment with one group pretest-postest approach with accidental sampling, the population is third trimester pregnant women as many as 40 respondents. Based on data collection and analysis and data is normal. The results of univariate analysis: the average change in hemoglobin levels before and after the administration of date palm extracts that is before the intervention (9.97 gr / dL) and after (10.38 gr / dL). And the results of bivariate analysis are the results of Dependent T-Test statistical test, the average hemoglobin level obtained before and after the intervention with p value = 0.00 <α = 0.05. The administration of date palm extract is effective against increasing hemoglobin levels in third trimester pregnant women at Sumiariani Clinic and Pratama Sari Clinic in 2019. For pregnant women, it can make date palm extracts together with other micronutrients such as Vitamin C to form soluble Fe complex absorption compounds that are easily dissolved, easily absorbed and made an alternative choice to increase hemoglobin levels during pregnancy.
