Nutrition transition era: how does nutritional balance of West Sumatra fishermen’s families perform?

“…A study conducted in one of the Public Health Center's working areas in Indonesia discovered a link between a clean and healthy lifestyle and nutritional status with a p-value=0.0001 [40]. According to this study, research conducted in East Sumba found that a clean and healthy lifestyle has a strong correlation with nutritional status and can improve good nutritional status with pvalue <0.05 [41]. As seen from the finding, it is evident that fishermen's families in the Mandeh area tend to do light physical activity.…”
