Background: Poor quality and quantity are the main factors that contribute to the increasing inadequacy of micronutrients intake such as Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Vitamins A, and C since the complementary food was introduced at 6 months of infant’s age. Objectives: To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of inadequate micronutrients intake among children aged 6-23 months in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study used Individual Food Consumption Survey 2014 data from Indonesian Health Study and Development Agency involving 1575 children aged 6-23 months as the total subjects. Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) was measured by eight food groups for children under two years old. The prevalence of inadequate micronutrients intake used the probability approach. Binary logistic regression was used as a multivariate test to determine the risk factors of inadequate micronutrients intake. Results: The highest prevalence of inadequate micronutrients intake was vitamin C, while the lowest was zinc, with overall inadequate multiple micronutrients intake being 61.9%. About 57.7% and 15.9% of subjects were low in energy intake and achieved the MDD, respectively. Lived in rural area [OR=1.37(95%CI:1.06-1.77)], low education mother [OR=1.71(95%CI:1.32-2.22)], low energy intake [OR=6.22(95%CI:4.84-7.99)] and not achieved MDD [OR=4.84(95%CI:3.47-6.75)] were more likely to have inadequate micronutrients intake, while not consuming breast milk were less likely to have  inadequate micronutrients intake in children [OR=0.55(95%CI:0.43-0.71)]. Conclusions: Almost two-thirds of subjects were inadequate in overall multiple micronutrients. Low energy intake and not achieved MDD were the highest risk of inadequate micronutrients intake of subjects, instead of low mother education and living in rural areas.

Stunting is a childhood condition that experiences growth disorders characterized by a child's height that is not appropriate for their age and results from chronic nutritional problems. This study analyses the risk factors for stunting in West Tulang Bawang Regency. This study was a cross-sectional study. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires from 265 mothers of children under five in three West Tulang Bawang Regency districts. This research used multivariate logistic regression to determine risk factors for stunting. The study assessed that 10.9% of their children were stunted. Nearly half of the mothers had low education (48.7%), and most did not work (79.6%). As many as 94.3% of mothers said they had a protected source of drinking water, while around 23.4% did not have sewerage. Most of the respondent's energy, fat, and carbohydrate adequacy level was classified as insufficient, and most children did not suffer from infectious diseases. The results of the correlation test showed that sewerage (AOR=4.309; p-value=0.000) was correlated with the occurrence of stunting, while a history of measles (AOR=3.482; p-value=0.150), energy adequacy level (AOR=2.691; p-value=0.057), birth order (AOR=2.949; p-value=0.050) not significantly correlated to stunting but had a high risk of stunting. Multivariate test results showed that no sewerage in families had a risk of about 4.192 times the occurrence of stunting in children compared to the presence of sewerage in West Tulang Bawang Regency.

Background: According to the survey, the percentage of food waste’s diabetes melitus patients in the Imanuel Hospital of Bandar lampung was 38% and still have not reached the minimum service standars (<20%). Objective: This study aimsed to analyze the factors associated with food waste in diabetes melitus patients in Hospital Imanuel. Methods: Descriptive analytic research using cross sectional study design. The study used 50 samples was take with purposive sampling. The age, sex, food appearance, taste of food and service providers data were obtained by questionnaires, and food waste data were obtained by comstock form. The data analysis used was descriptive and inferential using the Chi Square statistical test. Results: About 46% of patients was 56-65 years old, and 78% was sex women. Leftovers from patients in the good category were 15 respondents (30%) while those who had leftovers that were not good were 35 respondents (70%). There was significant association between  appearance of food (p-value=0,005)  and taste of food (p-value=0,002) with the food waste. There was no significant association  between service providers (p-value=0,776) with the food waste. Conclusion: Factors related to leftovers from diabetes mellitus patients at Immanuel Hospital are the appearance and taste of the food . Therefore, these two variables need to be considered in order to minimize food waste in diabetes mellitus patients at Immanuel Hospital.

Penyakit tidak menular termasuk penyakit jantung, stroke, kanker, diabetes, hipertensi, dan penyakit paru-paru kronis, secara kolektif bertanggung jawab atas hampir 70% dari semua kematian di seluruh dunia. Kerjasama antar profesi diperlukan dalam menangani masalah kesehatan, salah satu kegiatannya disebut dengan Interproffesional Education (IPE). Oleh karena itu, kami melakukan pengabdian masyarakat dengan menerapkan IPE kepada masyakat secara langsung dengan tujuan peningkatan pemahaman terkait hipertensi dan diabetes melitus. Profesi yang berkolaborasi dalam kegiatan impelemntasi yaitu berjumlah 11 orang dari program studi Keperawatan, Kesehatan Masyarakat, dan Gizi dari Fakultas Kesehatan, Universitas Mitra Indonesia. Kegiatan implementasi IPE di Dusun Sumber Sari 4 dilakukan tanggal 23-24 Juni 2022. Rangkaian kegiatan berupa pemeriksaan kesehatan, konsultasi kesehatan, senam prolanis dan penyuluhan penyakit terkait hipertensi dan diabetes melitus dengan metode ceramah dan tanya-jawab. Kegiatan tersebut memberikan hasil yang positif terhadap pemahaman terkait penyakit tersebut. Secara keseluruhan, peserta masih terkadang menerapkan pesan dari gizi seimbang seperti membatasi GGL (Gula, Garam, Lemak), konsumsi lebih banyak sayur dan buah, dan batasi makanan pengawet.  Masyarakat merasa antusias dengan adanya kegiatan yang kami adakan. Harapannya  kegiatan senam dapat dilakukan kembali secara rutin, melakukan cek kesehatan rutin di Posbindu atau puskesmas terdekat, dan menerapkan pesan gizi seimbang di kehidupan sehari-hari
