ABSTRAKData profil kesehatan Indonesia 2011 untuk wilayah provinsi Aceh menyatakan bahwa prevalensi status gizi penduduk dewasa (>18 tahun) dengan berat badan berlebih masuk ke sepuluh besar tertinggi di Indonesia yaitu sebesar 10,9% dan yang obesitas sebesar 13,4%. Pemberian aktivitas fisik (senam jantung sehat) merupakan salah satu aktivitas yang dapat mempengaruhi tekanan darah pada penderita obesitas. Para peneliti di Amerika menjelaskan bahwa melakukan aktivitas fisik paling sedikit 15 menit dalam sehari diperkirakan dapat menurunkan 14% risiko hipertensi obesitik yang dapat menyebabkan kematian. Tujuan penelitian adalah dapat diketahui manfaat aktivitas fisik (aerobic exercise) terhadap tekanan darah, IMT dan RLPP pada wanita obesitas. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimen, dengan pendekatan pre-postest observational, untuk mengkaji pemberian aktivitas fisik (aeobic exercise) terhadap tekanan darah, IMT dan RLPP pada wanita obesitas. Pemberian senam dilakukan selama 1 bulan. Hasil peneitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Ada pengaruh pemberian aktivitas fisik (aerobic exercise) terhadap IMT (p = 0,000), dan tekanan darah (p=0,000) pada wanita obesitas akan tetapi tidak ada pengaruh pemberian aktivitas fisik terhadap rasio lingkar pinggang panggul (RLPP) (p=0,230). ABSTRACTBackground : Based on data from the Indonesian health profile 2011 for the province of Aceh alone prevalence of nutritional status of the adult population (> 18 years) are overweight get into the top ten highest in Indonesia, namely by 10.9% and 13.4% were obese . Granting activity physical (gymnastics healthy heart) is one activity that can affect blood pressure in obese people. Researchers in the United States explains that physical activity at least 15 minutes a day is estimated to decrease by 14% the risk of hypertension obesitik which can lead to

BACKGROUND: The nutritional situation for toddler in Indonesia is based on the Riskesdas data report that Indonesia still has problems with underweight, stunting, and wasting. Fulfillment of nutritional status information on an individual basis can be fulfilled using the online application system. Problem the quality of data on nutritional status and the process of management that is still being carried out conventionally. It is necessary to design an application that is user-friendly for nutrition workers to monitor the nutritional status and growth and development of children under five in Aceh. AIM: Analyzing the Effectiveness of Using Android Smartphone-Based Applications for Monitoring Nutrition for Toddlers in the city of Banda Aceh. METHODS: This study uses a Research and Development design. This research has been conducted in the Banda Aceh City Region, considering that data on malnutrition is still high, data are available underweight, wasting, and stunting. Primary and secondary data were conducted by interview and observation using a questionnaire training using the Android-based PSG toddler application tool. The research stages were carried out by collect data and proceed with system design using the method prototyping. The validity of the data in this study was carried out using triangulation techniques. Data in the form of words will be processed into meaningful sentences so that information is obtained required. The data analysis phase consisted of data reduction and presentation data (data display) and concluding (conclusion: Drawing/verifying). RESULTS: The results showed that the PSG toddler application had a positive impact and significantly affected the quality of nutrition data, especially nutritional status data toddlers. The Android-based PSG toddler application has a good quality value compared with the use of a nutritional status monitoring book (PSG conventionally). An electronic-based system (PSG toddler application based on android) is of higher quality sound. The output of data analysis is more, both for monitoring and evaluation planning nutrition program and supporting decision-making in handling problems nutritional problems in Banda Aceh. The research results also show an Android-based application, particularly the PSG toddler application, as user-friendliness and are more user-friendly. Application following other nutritional status monitoring programs in calculating nutritional status, PSG Toddlers must cover four indexes: BB/U index, TB/U index, index BB/TB, and index body mass index/U. CONCLUSION: The use of the Android-based Toddler Nutrition Monitoring Application is effective in monitoring the growth and development of toddler nutrition in Aceh.

This study aimed to analyze the effects of nutrition education on anemia and upper arm circumference in pregnant women. It was a cluster-randomized control study involving 110 pregnant women. The nutrition education interventions, was a combination of offline and online sessions, conducted by trained Nutrition education staffs with a 1:5 ratio to pregnant women. Twelve education sessions were conducted for three months utilizing a nutrition booklet for pregnant women, food monitoring cards, and flyers shared on a social media WhatsApp group. The socio-demographic data were obtained through an interview method. The nutritional status collected, by measuring Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), and anemia was determined through a diagnosis by the family doctor. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and the paired and independent t-tests, the confidence interval was set at 95%. Hemoglobin levels in the intervention group experienced a higher increase than in the control group. The MUAC in the intervention group increased by 0.8 cm while in the control group it was decreased by -2.7 cm. However, the Difference in Difference (DID) analysis did not show significant different for both parameters (p=0.198 and p=0.274). Chi square analysis showed that the prevalence of anemia at the end line point in the intervention group (3.6%) was significantly lower compared to the control group (14.5%) (p=0.047). The prevalence of the Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) measured by MUAC decreased by 9% in the intervention group, and 1.8% in the control group. However, the difference in prevalence of CED was not statistically significant (p=0.696). The nutrition education within three months did not significantly increase the mean hemoglobin and MUAC. But considering the trend in decreasing anemia and CED prevalence in the intervention group, structured and routine nutrition education can be implemented as part of nutritional intervention in pregnant women to prevent anemia and CED to observe effects in a longer-term intervention.

Abstract   Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (Autism Spectrum Disorder), commonly abbreviated as ASD or autism, is a condition of neurodevelopmental brain disorder that causes sufferers to experience difficulties in communicating and socializing. Parents go through difficult phases after their child is diagnosed with ASD. Therefore, increasing the knowledge capacity of parents and nutritional intake in autistic children is very important. Children with autism often experience a lack of certain nutrients that affect the growth, development, and fulfillment of specific nutritional needs.   AIM: Analyzing the Effect of Nutrition Counseling on Mother's Knowledge and Nutrient Intake in Autistic Children in Banda Aceh City   Methods: The research design used in this study was quasi-experimental with a pre-posttest observational approach. This research was conducted in four locations, namely the Autism Child Service Center, The Nanny Children Center (TNCC), Bintang Kecil, and My Hope Special Need Center from October to December 2021 in Banda Aceh. The sample in this study was the entire population, which amounted to 30 children with autism—analysis of the data using univariate and bivariate using the T-test dependent. . Results: From the results of statistical tests, it is known that there is a significant effect of nutritional counseling on mothers' knowledge and intake of gluten and casein sources of food in autistic children with p-value < 0.05). Nutritional counseling has been shown to increase maternal knowledge. The average knowledge of mothers before nutrition counseling was 84.56 and after 88.62. The average intake of gluten and casein sources before nutritional counseling was 82.59 and after 77.12.   CONCLUSION: There
