Posyandu is expected to be able to detect any deviations in growth and development early and provide recommendations to immediately visit related health services. Stimulation recommendations are also given if the detection results show that there is dysfunction in growth and development, so that the dysfunction does not experience more severe disorders. Delays in growth and development in children that are detected early are very important and are part of the duties of posyandu cadres. There are several applications that can be accessed by the community at home, such as the "Nutritional Status Check", "Nutrition Calculator", and "PRIMAKU" applications, where these applications can be downloaded using a smartphone on the Google Playstore, these applications can be used to help parents monitor their children's growth and development while at home. 5 The Ministry of Health has launched the book Stimulation, Detection and Early Intervention of Growth and Development (SDIDTK) (Karima et al., 2021; N et al., 2019).

Pregnancy is the most important period in a woman's life cycle. During pregnancy, a woman provides nutrition not only herself, but also herself and the fetus. Pregnant women should be careful with their food intake. You not only need to consume enough food and drinks, but they also need to be balanced and contain enough nutrients. Non-compliance with nutrition during pregnancy causes malnutrition, the worst impact of which is incomplete fetal growth, low birth weight (LBW), and fetal abnormalities. The aim of this activity is to increase respondents' knowledge regarding the nutrition of pregnant women. It was found that respondents were very enthusiastic about listening to the material presented by the presenters. The nutritional status of a pregnant woman before and during pregnancy can affect the development of the fetus she is carrying.  If a mother's nutritional status is normal before and during pregnancy, she will most likely give birth to a healthy adult child with a normal weight

Good nutrition is an important foundation for a child to grow and develop optimally, especially children who grow and develop in vulnerable environments. The results of the 2021 Nutritional Status survey show that 1:4 Indonesian children experience stunting and 1:10 children experience malnutrition. Prevention of stunting must be as early as possible, starting from portions of the plate with balanced nutritional content. Tempeh is a fermented product made from soybeans, the price is quite cheap, tempeh is also the best source of energy and protein, tempeh contains prebiotics which are good for the intestines, low in sodium and carbohydrates. 84 grams of tempeh contains 162 calories, 15 grams of protein, 9 grams of carbohydrates, 9 milligrams of sodium and many others. Efforts can be made to increase the knowledge and skills of cadre mothers and mothers of toddlers by conducting counseling, demonstrations and simulating tempe food. This dedication has a positive effect on knowledge, skills and ideas in making a variety of healthy snacks. The aim of this community service is so that mothers of babies and toddlers know and understand that tempeh food can be processed into various healthy snack ingredients to prevent stunting. The method of implementing activities in general includes the stages of introduction, counseling, demonstration and evaluation. It is hoped that in the future, cadre mothers and the community, especially mothers who have babies and toddlers in RW03 RT02, Kualu Village, Tambang Kampar District, will be more creative in making preparations made from tempeh that are rich in nutrients in an effort to prevent stunting and more often seek the latest information about nutrition in the reproductive cycle.

Body composition refers to the distribution of fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues in the human body, which is often expressed as a percentage of total body weight consisting of fat mass and lean body mass. Obesity, characterized by excess fat in adipose tissue, poses a significant health risk and is increasing in countries with low and medium mortality rates, especially in metropolitan areas. Factors contributing to this include genetics, a lack of physical activity, socioeconomic status, unhealthy eating patterns, psychosocial factors, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Excess body fat significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. Although optimal body fat levels vary, excess fat increases the risk of health issues such as joint problems and cardiovascular disease. People widely use bioimpedance analysis (BIA), an efficient, non-invasive method, to assess nutritional status and body composition. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) method, which is carried out at PT. Narindo, North Jakarta, in the productive age population. The examination results showed that the average levels of total body fat, visceral fat, total subcutaneous fat, total muscle mass were 28.6%; 11%; 22.2%; 28.3%. Early detection of body composition is critical for assessing nutritional and health status as well as diagnosing disease, potentially reducing obesity-related morbidity and mortality.

Abstract: Obesity is a global epidemic and a significant public health problem. In the elderly population, obesity is defined as a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m². In the United States, the prevalence of obesity among the elderly is 37.1% in men and 33.6% in women over the age of 60. Obesity increases the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and can cause psychological problems such as sleep disorders and lack of self-confidence. Accurate obesity risk assessment involves measuring Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology to screen for obesity in the elderly at Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. The screening includes anthropometric measurements of BMI and waist circumference, followed by evaluation and nutritional counseling for at-risk individuals. 9 people (14.75%) had overweight nutritional status, 3 people (4.92%) had obese nutritional status, and 35 people (57.38%) were at risk of central obesity. Routine anthropometric measurements are critical for monitoring obesity and implementing preventive measures to improve overall health outcomes, improve quality of life, and reduce obesity-related morbidity and mortality rates. Keywords: Obesity, Central Obesity, Elderly, Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference

This study aims to explore the role of nutrition in disease prevention and identify the factors influencing the nutritional status of the population in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research analyzes scientific literature and secondary data from official sources such as the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The analysis results indicate that macro and micronutrients, such as complex carbohydrates, plant-based proteins, healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals, play a significant role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The Mediterranean diet and plant-based eating patterns have proven effective in improving health and preventing disease. However, Indonesia faces complex nutritional challenges, including a high prevalence of stunting in children and rising obesity rates in adults. Stunting is primarily caused by limited access to nutritious food and lack of nutritional knowledge, while obesity is associated with high-calorie diets and low physical activity. This study suggests increasing nutrition education, access to nutritious food, and promoting healthy lifestyles as essential steps to address nutritional problems in Indonesia and improve the overall quality of life.
