Background: The prevalence of stunting in Semarang City is the lowest compared to other districts/cities at 10.40%. Semarang City has not used a mapping system in handling stunting cases even though mapping stunting and its risk factors with GIS can help policymakers read areas that can be used as a basis for determining stunting-related programs because each region has different characteristics. Methods: This study combined an ecological study and mapping approach with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted in 2022. The population in this study were all 16 sub-districts in Semarang City. The sampling technique in this study was total sampling.  Results: The results showed that in the mapping of correlated risk factors, the variables of the percentage of households that have access to safe sanitation,  percentage of households with shared toilet, percentage of LBW, percentage of pregnant women with parity >4, and percentage of pregnant women aged >35 years old were significantly associated with the prevalence of stunting. Conclusions: Sub-districts that can be prioritized for stunting prevention, treatment, and screening are Semarang Selatan, Semarang Utara, Semarang Tengah, Semarang Timur, and Tugu

One of the microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus is diabetic retinopathy. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Central Java Province in 2022 by 10% increased to 12.52% in the third quarter of 2023. This prevalence rate has not reached the SDG's target, namely there is no increase in diabetes prevalence by 0%. The purpose of this study is to analyze factors associated the incidence of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 DM patients at Central Java Provincial Hospital in 2023. This research is quantitative research with a nested case control study design, using electronic medical record data from the Central Java Provincial Hospital in 2023. The variables in this study were gender, age, education level, employment status, marital status, health insurance status, BMI, DM diet, duration of DM, hypertension, other diseases, current blood glucose, and HbA1c. The analysis used was univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis (logistic regression). The results showed that there was association between age ?70 years (p=0.006), DM diet (p<0.0001, OR=20.914), duration of DM (p=0.003, OR=3.010), hypertension (p=0.013, OR=2.619), other diseases including cataracts (p=0.040, OR=9.00), glaucoma (p=0.007), CHD (p=0.040, OR=9.00), and cardiomegaly (p=0.016), current blood glucose (p=0.045, OR=2.478), and HbA1c (p<0.0001, OR=6.152). DM diet is the most dominant factor associated with diabetic retinopathy in type 2 DM patients. 

The Klaten Regency stands as one of the districts yet to adopt a mapping system for managing stunting cases. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence and risk factors associated with stunting among toddlers across the 26 sub-districts of Klaten Regency in 2021. Employing a cross-sectional design coupled with an ecological study and mapping approach, the research was conducted throughout 2021. The study encompassed a population of 26 sub-districts, accounting for a total of 6,949 reported cases of stunting in 2021. Total sampling was employed as the sampling technique. The findings revealed that in the mapping of correlated risk factors—specifically, variables such as low birth weight, chronic energy deficiency in pregnant women, birth length, and antenatal care coverage—four sub-districts were identified as having a high risk of stunting. For prospective researchers, it is recommended to explore additional risk factors associated with stunting, such as the prevalence of early marriages, the percentage of individuals living below the poverty line, the proportion of women attaining secondary education or higher, or by incorporating supplementary primary data sources, like the employment status of toddlers' parents.
