(1) Background: The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is a complex problem involving the coexistence of under- and over-nutrition within the same individual, household or population. This review aimed to discuss the correlates of the double burden of malnutrition through the socio-ecological model (SEM); (2) Methods: The PubMed database was systematically searched for peer-reviewed articles related to the double burden of malnutrition. Information on correlates of the double burden of malnutrition was extracted for analysis and discussion in alignment with the levels of the socio-ecological model.; (3) Results and Discussion: The correlates of the double burden of malnutrition identified from previous literature were: Race/genetics; maternal short stature; breastfeeding status; low maternal education; family size; household food security; household dietary diversity; and rural and urban settings. In the absence of evidence linking factors in a certain level of the SEM and the double burden of malnutrition, we employed correlates of overweight status and obesity to complete this narrative. Potential intervention strategies were proposed in alignment with the targets and settings identified, based on the socio-ecological approach; (4) Conclusions: The double burden of malnutrition is a public health phenomenon associated with a variety of socio-ecological determinants. An integrated approach is needed to address the root causes of malnutrition in all its forms, and at all life stages.

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of behavioral-based nutrition education to increase fish consumption among school children using a raised bed pool. This was a randomized control trial study with a 3-months nutrition education intervention using a raised bed pool, as a medium to improve their internalization to increase fish consumption behavior. A paired t-test was used to calculate the difference in the increase of fish consumption, knowledge, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and intention. This study took place in a majority of low to medium urban households in Surabaya in Sidotopo Wetan I and Sidotopo Wetan II elementary school. Elementary school children at 4th and 5th grade and mother of elementary school children with 104 children were eligible and willing to participate. After the completion of interventions, significant improvement in delta-mean and effectiveness observed in attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, knowledge, and fish consumption (p < 0.001). The 3 months of nutrition education intervention based on the theory of planned behavior significantly increase fish consumption among elementary school children. The increased consumption was believed to be related to the increase in children’s knowledge and attitude towards consuming fish.

Purpose: Aims to observe the relation of the pattern of energy-dense food consumption, snacking, and access to food with the obesity in children aged 9-12 years.Design/methodology/approach: A cross sectional study done in elementary school in Surabaya, Indonesia involving 110 students. Pattern of energy-dense food consumption was retrieved from FFQ and energy from snacking was collected through repeated 24 hours food recall. Linear regression analysis was performed with α =0.05. Findings:Obesity prevalence was 50.0% and obese children proved to have higher energy intake compared to non-obese children (2131.7 kcal ± 405.758 SD vs. 1753.4 kcal ± 452.673 SD, respectively). Energy-dense food consumption pattern that related to obesity was consumption of chocolate (p=0.028; R 2 =0.044); white sugar (p=0.017; R 2 =0.051); snack bar (p=0.014; R 2 =0.055); fried foods (p=0.001; R 2 =0.096); sweetened condensed milk (p=0.022; R 2 =0.048); fruit syrup (p=0.008; R 2 =0.063); and biscuits (p=0.029; R 2 =0.044). Highest frequency of energy-dense food intake was flavoured drinks with intake as much as 27 times per month (p=0.051). Energy intake from snacking also found to be higher in obese children (698.6 kcal ± 275180 SD) compared to non-obese children (494.9 kcal ± 280.952 SD). Research limitations/implications:An observational study hence causation between variables cannot be justified. Practical implications:The result can be referred as an input for the inclusion and exclusion of foods permitted at school-setting in order to prevent childhood obesity.Originality/value: The result adds more evidence related to school food environment in urban developing country setting which are under studied.
