In addition, the production cost is relatively affordable compared to the use of soybean. The disadvantage of this program is that the availability of raw materials depends on the cempedak harvest season.

Breastfeeding (ASI) and complementary feeding (MP-ASI) are determinants of a baby's growth and development starting from the period 0 days or the day after birth until the age of 2 years. Providing nutritional intake that is less than required can cause long-term growth and development in children, which is permanent and difficult to repair. This study aims to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and MP-ASI with the growth and development of babies aged 6–12 months in the Harapan Baru Community Health Center Working Area, Samarinda City. Type of quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. The location of this research was carried out at the Posyandu in the Working Area of the Harapan Baru Community Health Center, Samarinda City. The sample in this study was mothers of babies 6-12 months with 84 respondents. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and interviews. The data analysis technique uses the Spearman correlation non-parametric statistical test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between giving exclusive breastfeeding and the growth of babies aged 6-12 months (p=0.00), there was a relationship between giving breast milk and the development of babies aged 6-12 months (p=0.021), there was a relationship between giving MP-ASI and growth babies 6-12 months (p=0.022), and there is a relationship between giving MP-ASI and the development of babies 6-12 months (p=0.042). Increasing the provision of appropriate breast milk and MP-ASI is very important to achieve optimal growth and development of babies.  

Stunting is a major nutritional problem faced by Indonesia. According to Nutritional Status Monitoring (PSG) data for the past three years, the prevalence of stunting in toddlers has increased from 27.5% in 2016 to 29.6% in 2017. The incidence of stunting has increased. The results of a survey in Semadam District, Southeast Aceh Regency found that during the new normal period of Covid-19, Posyandu activities held in each village followed the Covid-19 health protocol. Each village has 3 to 5 Posyandu cadres who are tasked with assisting Posyandu activities for toddlers. Semadam District is one of the stunting locus villages that receives stunting education. So it is important for the community to be provided with supplies on the importance of preventing stunting and its impact on toddlers in Semadam Village. The mandatory output targets achieved are publications in national journals with EISSN, publications in electronic mass media, activity videos uploaded on YouTube and increasing knowledge and skills of partners.

Physical activity is one of the factors that affect the nutritional status of adolescents. Lack of physical activity will lead to excess weight. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between physical activity and nutritional status of eleventh grade students in high school in Palembang. This quantitative research uses a cross-sectional research design with a sample of 91 students. Physical activity was measured using the Adolescent-Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ-A). The nutritional status used is based on BMI/age. The correlation analysis used was Kendall's tau-b. Univariate results were obtained by the majority of students with low physical activity (f=40) and normal nutritional status (f=60). Based on the results of the correlation test, a p-value of 0.004 < 0.05 was obtained, which means that there is a significant relationship between physical activity and nutritional status based on BMI/U. With a correlation coefficient of 0.276, which means that the correlation strength is low with positive traits. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that adolescents do enough physical activity to maintain physical fitness and health as well as normal nutritional status.

This study analyzes the evaluation of stunting reduction policies in Kuantan Singingi Regency, Indonesia, using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation theory. Stunting is a serious nutritional problem that impacts children's growth and development, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Although there has been a decrease in stunting prevalence in Riau Province, Kuantan Singingi Regency experienced an increase in stunting rates from 17.8% in 2022 to 23% in 2023, making it the highest in the province. The evaluation was conducted based on five criteria: effectiveness, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results showed that despite significant efforts in policy implementation, the target for reducing stunting prevalence has not been achieved, with communication between officers and the community still lacking. There is a shortage of skilled personnel and funds, and unequal access to health services. The policy provides a clear framework, but information about the program is still lacking in the community. The assumptions underlying the policy are quite strong, and positive impacts are starting to be seen, but challenges such as lack of training for officers remain. Overall, despite progress, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed to achieve the goal of reducing stunting effectively.

Malaria remains a global health issue, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. In Indonesia, Papua Province specifically Nabire Regency reports a high incidence of malaria, although a decline has been observed since 2010. Infants and pregnant women are the most vulnerable groups. Nutritional status, influenced by dietary patterns, environment, and access to healthcare, plays a crucial role in susceptibility to malaria. Malnourished children are more prone to severe malaria infections due to their underdeveloped immune systems. This research focuses on Kimi Health Center in Nabire Regency and aims to explore the relationship between the nutritional status of children under five and malaria incidence in 2024. The goal of this study is to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of children under five and malaria incidence at Kimi Health Center, Teluk Umar District, Nabire Regency, in 2024. The research design employs an analytical descriptive approach with a cross-sectional method to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and malaria incidence. Data was collected at one point in time and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Kendall tau-b test through SPSS software. The results show that nutritional status significantly influences susceptibility to malaria. Children with poor nutrition are at a higher risk of experiencing severe malaria due to immune system dysfunction. Malnutrition, such as Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM), worsens parasitemia and anemia. Nutrient deficiencies, including iron, vitamin A, and zinc, also weaken the immune system. Therefore, improving nutritional status is a crucial effort in malaria control within endemic areas.

Nutrition is an indicator of the successful growth and development of babies and toddlers. Thus, nutritional needs must be met to achieve this success. Fulfillment of nutrition begins when the baby is in the womb, then exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life and continued with complementary breastfeeding (MP-ASI).  The aim of providing MP-ASI is to maintain the nutritional status of infants and toddlers. By providing proper MP-ASI, the growth and development of babies and toddlers will be optimal. Mothers have an important role in preparing and serving the right MP-ASI for their babies. In particular, the mother's knowledge has a big influence on the mindset and caring attitude towards the success of providing appropriate MP-ASI. (Cindy, 2023) The aim of this community service activity is to increase mothers' knowledge about providing complementary breast milk (MP-ASI) in Alue Sentang Village, Kec. Birem Bayeun District. East Aceh. The method used in this activity is the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which is an approach to learning in solving problems and meeting the practical needs of society, as well as the production of knowledge. The results obtained from this activity are an increase in mothers' knowledge about giving complementary foods to breast milk. so that it is hoped that the knowledge gained can be realized in everyday life.

The nutritional status of toddlers is an important thing that every parent must know. Malnutrition during this golden age is irreversible (cannot be recovered). Malnutrition can affect a child's brain development. Malnutrition among children under five in Indonesia appears to be increasing from year to year. Malnutrition can occur due to internal and external factors that are not prevented or addressed as early as possible and have an impact on health conditions, growth and development of toddlers, and productivity in adulthood. This phenomenon reveals the importance of preventive efforts to prevent the risk of malnutrition in children under five from all possible risk factors. This article aims to review and analyze factors that influence the nutritional status of toddlers through the literature review method. There are 5 main articles used and have been selected through search results on the Google Scholar database. The results of the study found that factors that influence nutritional status in toddler include infectious diseases, knowledge, birth spacing, socio-economics, parenting patterns.

Background: The global maternal mortality rate (MMR) in 2022 is 91.46 per 100,000 live births with the cause of death being bleeding while the indirect causes of maternal mortality are during pregnancy wheere many pregnant women experience nutritional problems such as Chornic Energi Deficiency ( CHD) and Nutritional Anemia at 8.43% (WHO, 2022). The maternal mortality rate in ASEAN is 235 per 100,000 live births with the majority of causes of death being bleeding (ASEAN Secretariat, 2022). Until now, the maternal mortality rate in Indonesia alone in 2020 was 91.45/100,000 live births. In 2021, maternal mortality will increase to 305/100,000 live births. Meanwhile, in 2022, the maternal mortality rate will decrease by 230/100,000 live births. Within a period of 3 years, the causes of maternal death included Covid 19, bleeding, hypertension in pregnancy, and heart disease (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2022). The maternal mortality rate in Central Java in 2020 was 84.6/100,000 live births, in 2021 it will be 199/100,000 live births. In 2022 there will be a decrease to 98.6/100,000 live births, hypertension in pregnancy and bleeding are still the cases of death in that year (Central Health Office, 2022). Brebes Regency shows that the maternal mortality rate in 2020 was 62 cases. In 2021 there were 105 cases and in 2022 there was a decrease to 50 cases with the causes of death being bleeding, hypertension, infection and heart disorders (Brebes District Health Office, 2021) Objective: Reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates in Brebes Regency, especially the Bumiayu Community Health Center area Conclusion: After providing comprehensive midwifery care to Mrs. S aged 32 years with Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) at BPM Mrs. The R working area of the Bumiayu Community Health Center from the third trimester of pregnancy, childbirth, newborns, postpartum and family planning is in good condition.

Postpartum hemorrhage is a serious complication that can occur after delivery and is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This literature review aims to analyze postpartum hemorrhage as a major risk factor for anemia in postpartum mothers. The method used was Systematic Literature Review with a literature research approach using the Google Scholar database. The analysis of eight articles showed that anemia during pregnancy had a significant association with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, with a risk of up to 45.7 times greater than mothers without anemia. Other contributing factors included type of delivery, where sectiocaesarea increased the risk of postpartum anemia compared to normal delivery (p=0.004). In conclusion, anemia is a significant risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage that requires early detection, nutritional status monitoring, and comprehensive antenatal care to prevent complications in postpartum women.
