The mixed model combines fixed effect for all groups and random effect representing the diversity inter groups in the model (province) to increase the model precision. This study provides information on the significance of multidimensional stunting intervention factors (predictor variables) on stunting prevalence (response variables as indicator 2.2.1 Sustainable Development Goals/SDGs) with district/city as observation units. Using official data from Statistics Indonesia (National Socio Economic Survey) and Ministry of Health (Basic Health Research), this study expects to be one basis of information for the government, stakeholders, and further research to accelerate Indonesia’s SDGs targets in 2030. Comparison of classical linear mixed model method and linear mixed model with Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) variable selection conduct with relatively better results of mixed linear modelling with Lasso. The results showed that the predictor variables, namely complete immunization, ease of access to health facilities, diversity of food intake, improve water, food expenditure per capita, children’s participation in early childhood education, maternal education, and ownership of National Health Insurance for toddlers, significantly affected the stunting prevalence decrease. The predictor variables, namely low birth weight, households with social protection cards, and the percentage of poor people, significantly increase the stunting prevalence.

Introduction: The global population is aging, and the number of elderly people continues to increase worldwide. The increase in the elderly population is followed by an increase in problems due to degenerative processes that have an impact on the quality of life of the elderly.

GPAQ, IADL-Barthel Index, GDS were used to measure dependent variables of physical activity, functional ability and depression, respectively. The Data collection method was an interview using a questionnaire. Data analysis includes univariate and bivariate analysis using Chi-Square test and multivariate analysis using Logistic Statistics test using Enter method. Results: Most of the elderly have a good quality of life (77.2%). There was a significant corellation between physical activity, functional ability, depression and the quality of life of the elderly. The most important factor was physical activity and the P values and OR were 0.014 and OR 3.409, respectively after being controlled by the variables of functional ability and depression.

Elderly people who suffer from knee OA generally experience muscle weakness, pain, and limited knee motion. This study aimed to analyze the effect of bridging exercise on reducing pain in elderly with knee OA. Methode: The study design was quasi experiment which consisted of the treatment and the control group. The research respondents were 34 elderlies at Eastern Jakarta Village and selected by purposive sampling. The bridging exercise intervention was given for 4 weeks, 2 times a week with a duration of 30 minutes. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test. Results: The knee pain in treatment group before intervention was 8,29 and became 6,29 after intervention, whereas in control group was 7,58 and 7,53 respectively. The average difference in knee pain changed between groups was -1,76 with a p-value of 0.009. Conclusion: Bridging exercise could reduce pain in knee OA of elderly.  The integrated development post could apply this exercise as additional exercise in their routine activity.
