Food preferences are the level of the likes and dislikes of food, and these preferences will affect food consumption that represents the selection of a person’s diet frequency, nutrient intake and dietary adequacy. Based on previous research, food preferences in adolescents as a whole are not in line with a healthy diet, and food preferences of adolescents are a critical point that determines food preferences of adults. The purpose of this study is to analyze food preferences of adolescence and the various factors which influence it. This research was an analytical study with cross-sectional design. The samples were High School students at Senior High School 1 Inderalaya and Senior High School 1 South Inderalaya with the total number 167 ,and people. Samples were taken by simple random sampling. The food preferences data were obtained by using food checklist and hedonic scale of 1-5. Procedure of data analysis used was univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square. Bivariate analysis showed that 61.1% of the respondent have good food preferences. Analysis of the relationship between variables showed a significant relationship between food familiarity with food preferences (p-value = 0.000) with PR= 3.459 (95% CI: 2.284-5.239) while other variables Such as the influence of peers, food neophobia, body image perception, gender, allowance, nutritional knowledge, and food taboo did not have any relationship with food preferences. The higher someone’s food familiarity level is, the higher the preference is. We suggest the school to increase food preferences for students to learn about a variety of nutritious foods balanced through a variety of activities, such as scientific discussions, a competition to create a menu of balanced nutrition, healthy food promotion

A diverse and balanced diet is one way to overcome stunting in toddlers. Without adequate food intake, toddlers will lack the nutrients to grow and develop properly. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors of various food choices in stunting toddlers on the outskirts of the Musi River, Palembang. This research is an observational study with a cross-sectional method conducted in two health centers representing the Musi River suburbs, namely Gandus Health Center and 11 Ilir Health Center. The subjects of this study were toddlers aged 6 months to 59 months, totaling 170 children under five who were calculated using the two-proportion hypothesis test formula and sampling through the purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out directly by interviews using a questionnaire. Chi-square test was used to analyze bivariate and multiple logistic regression test predictive model for multivariate analysis. Based on the results of the study, data obtained that there was a relationship between the mother's education (p = 0.000), number of family members (p = 0.017), food availability (p = 0.000), and eating patterns (0.005) with various foods. The results of multivariate analysis showed that maternal education and food availability had a significant relationship with food diversity. Mother's education has the greatest influence or is the most dominant risk factor for food diversity to overcome stunting in toddlers on the on the Musi River suburbs, Palembang. Mothers of toddlers should increase their knowledge about food diversity and provide food at home that does not have to be expensive but remains diverse and nutritionally balanced, in order to meet nutritional needs so that toddlers avoid stunting.

Stunting merupakan masalah gizi kronis yang disebabkan oleh multi faktor dan bersifat antar generasi. Kejadian stunting menunjukan permasalahan gizi buruk yang kronis dan terjadi di usia balita. Pemantauan pertumbuhan balita sangat penting dilakukan untuk mengetahui adanya gangguan pertumbuhan (growth faltering) secara dini. Untuk mengetahui pertumbuhan tersebut, penimbangan balita setiap bulan sangat diperlukan. Pengukuran antropometri biasanya dilakukan oleh kader di Posyandu. Namun, kader tidak mempunyai kemampuan dalam pemantauan pertumbuhan balita baik melalui pengukuran antropometri (berat badan dan tinggi badan) serta pengisian KMS. Hal ini dikarenakan hampir sebagian besar kader belum pernah mendapatkan pelatihan mengenai pengukuran antropometri dan pengisian KMS. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Indralaya dengan sasaran adalah kader Posyandu yang mewakili setiap desa yang berjumlah 46 orang. Kegiatan dilakukan dalam bentuk pelatihan, yaitu melalui pemberian materi menggunakan ceramah dan pelatihan memantau pertumbuhan balita dengan cara mengukur berat badan dan panjang badan/tinggi badan balita serta cara mengisi KMS. Alat yang digunakan adalah timbangan, dacin, infantometer serta kartu KMS. Hasil kegiatan ini menunjukan bahwa sebagian besar kader mengalami peningkatan nilai sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan yaitu peningkatan pengetahuan gizi (54,3%), pengukuran antropometri (78,2%) dan Pengisian KMS (58,7%). Berdasarkan hasil Uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan nilai p 0,000 < 0,005 maka ada perbedaan skor pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, baik itu pengetahuan gizi, pengukuran antropometri balita dan pengisian KMS bertambah. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan pelatihan kader ini cukup berhasil dilihat dari hasil distribusi frekuensi yang didapat dan hasil uji statistik. Perlu dilakukan pelatihan rutin terkait pemantauan pertumbuhan dan pembacaan KMS, terutama jika terjadi pergantian kader.

Stunting is a condition in which children experience impaired growth as a result of chronic nutritional problems, namely lack of nutritional intake for a long time. This study aims to determine the comparison of intake of animal protein and vegetable protein in stunted toddlers. Literature review is conducted by searching, summarizing, and combining the core of several scientific sources that are accurate and valid from search databases such as Google Scholar and Garuda Portal. The literature searched for is limited from 2015 to 2022 with the keywords "Stunting". "Toddlers", "Animal Protein", "Vegetable Protein" both in Indonesian and English. Literature was analyzed using a matrix table. Stunted toddlers tend to consume vegetable protein compared to animal protein. Stunted toddlers consume vegetable protein because it is cheap, easy to get, area of residence, and parents income. Keywords: Stunting, Protwin Intake, Toddler, Animal Protein, Vegetable Protein ABSTRAK Stunting adalah suatu kondisi dimana anak mengalami gangguan pertumbuhan sebagai akibat dari masalah gizi kronis yaitu kekurangan asupan gizi dalam waktu yang lama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan asupan protein hewani dan protein nabati pada balita stunting. Tinjauan Literatur dilakukan dengan cara mencari, meringkas, serta menggabungkan inti dari beberapa sumber ilmiah yang akurat dan valid dari database pencarian seperti Google Scholar dan Portal Garuda. Literatur yang dicari dibatasi dari tahun 2015 sampai tahun 2022 dengan kata kunci "Stunting”. “Balita”, “Protein Hewani”, “Protein Nabati” baik dalam Bahasa Indonesia maupun Bahasa inggris. Literatur dianalisis dengan menggunakan tabel matriks. Balita stunting cenderung mengkonsumsi protein nabati dibandingkan dengan protein hewani. Balita stunting mengkonsumsi protein nabati diakarenakan harga yang murah, mudah didapatkan, wilayah tempat tinggal, dan pendapatan orang tua.  Kata Kunci: Stunting, Balita, Protein Hewani, Protein Nabati
