Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impacts the growth and development of children, posing a serious challenge to public health in Indonesia. One strategic approach to addressing this issue is through intensive training of health cadres. Health cadres play a crucial role in educating the community about the importance of balanced nutrition and good health practices, especially for pregnant women and young children. Structured and continuous intensive training for health cadres is expected to enhance their knowledge and skills in early detection of stunting cases, providing nutritional education, and implementing appropriate interventions. This training program covers various topics such as healthy eating patterns, infant and young child feeding (IYCF), and prevention of diseases contributing to stunting. Additionally, the training includes simulations and field practices that allow health cadres to apply their acquired knowledge in real-life situations. Results from this training show significant improvements in the competencies of health cadres and a reduction in stunting prevalence in the intervention areas. Therefore, intensive training of health cadres has proven to be an effective strategy for stunting prevention and needs to be widely implemented in various regions of Indonesia.

Stunting occurs due to malnutrition which inhibits growth in toddlers. Stunting can also be caused by problems during pregnancy. This study aims to identify the risk of stunting during pregnancy and determine pregnant women who are at risk of this condition. By identifying and prioritizing critical factors that contribute to stunting in children under five, this research is expected to assist policy makers in developing effective solutions to reduce stunting rates. Handling the problem of stunting is important for the Government because it relates to the future generation of Golden Indonesia 2045. This study evaluates appropriate actions or therapies to reduce the risk of having children born with the potential to experience stunting. In the process of selecting pregnant women who are at risk of giving birth to children with the risk of stunting, a selection procedure is carried out that considers several factors such as the mother's age, mother's nutritional intake, arm circumference, hemoglobin level, parity, birth spacing, height, and mother's body mass index (BMI). The analytic network process (ANP) approach is used to determine the outcome of the selection process. The ranking is determined based on the calculation of the weighting of the criteria and sub-criteria in the ANP method. Based on the results of calculations using the ANP approach, PM 1 pregnant women get the highest score and are ranked first. These pregnant women are considered to have the highest risk of giving birth to babies with stunting risk.

Aging is associated with significant changes in body composition, specifically a decrease in lean body mass and an increase in fat mass. These changes contribute to the prevalence of obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly population, impacting quality of life, morbidity and mortality. A complex interaction between hormonal decline, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and reduced physical activity underlies these changes. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology to screen for obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly at St. Mary's Church, Francis of Assisi. We use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure body composition, which includes total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass. Among 32 participants, the average total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass were 36.5% each; 9.6%; 9.68%; and 21.5%. Body composition assessment using BIA is very important in managing the elderly's health. Preventive strategies, including tailored exercise programmes, nutritional counselling, and lifestyle modifications, are essential to maintain muscle mass and prevent excessive fat deposition, thereby improving quality of life and reducing morbidity and mortality.
