Stunting occurs in a chronic small intestinal inflammation syndrome, called pediatric environmental enteropathy, resulting in increased intestinal permeability and the entry of immune cells into the intestinal epithelium. The purpose of this study was to study the types of prebiotic food formulas and their effects on LAZ in stunting children. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. Held in Sei Ambawang District, Kubu Raya Regency 2019. Samples of stunting children aged 12-24 months were 40 children. The sampling technique was used for purposive sampling. The intervention given is prebiotic formula food given for 30 days. Data processing for LAZ, nutrient intake, and t-independent test statistical analysis each using WHO Anthro 2005, Nutri survey, and SPSS software. The results showed there were differences in LAZ before and after in the group given MF-2 food formula in stunting children (p= 0,034), whereas in the group who received MF-1 showed no difference (p= 0,114). Based on LAZ differences between the two groups after the intervention with independent t-test did not show significant differences (p > 0,05). In conclusion, MF-1 and MF-2 did not differ in increasing LAZ in stunting children, but each group showed MF-2 had an effect on increasing LAZ.

Anak sekolah umumnya berada dalam masa pertumbuhan yang sangat cepat dan aktif, gizi menjadi bagian penting dalam pertumbuhan dan kecerdasan anak, ini dikarenakan dapat berpengaruh serta menghambat pertumbuhan fisik,mental maupun kemampuan berfikir pada anak. Asupan yang diperlukan oleh tubuh dapat melalui makanan yang dikonsumsi seperti makanan selingan, makanan selingan merupakan makanan yang disukai oleh berbagai kalangan usia, mulai dari anak hingga dewasa. Pemberian makanan selingan umumnya dalam porsi kecil dengan kandungan zat gizi berkisar 10%- 20% dari kebutuhan energi sehari. Salah satu produk yang mudah dibuat dan disukai anak-anak ialah cookies. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui analisis zat gizi serta daya terima cookies. Metode yang digunakan yaitu eksperimen, dengan perlakuan tepung talas pontianak dan tepung pisang kepok pontianak adalah F1 (75% : 25%), F2 (50% : 50%), F3 (25% : 75%). Uji yang dilakukan yaitu uji organoleptik untuk melihat tingkat kesukaan dan uji kimia untuk menganalisa zat gizi. Berdasarkan uji organoleptik, dari 3 perlakuan dilihat dari tingkat kesukaannya paling tertinggi adalah F3 (25% : 75%) dengan kandungan protein (5.535%), lemak (28.214%), karbohidrat (10.635%), kadar abu (1.451%), kadar air (4.470%).

Background: Overweight or obesity during childhood and adolescence are important risk factors for the presence of adult overweight or obesity. Eating habits in childhood and adolescence influence their healthy condition. Prospective studies of breakfast habits and nutritional status suggest an inverse (protective) association between the frequency of eating breakfast and the risk for overweight and obesity and relationships between no breakfast and increasing body weight.Objective: To examine risk factor of breakfast and snacking related to overweight status in adolescents.Method: This was the observational study with case control design. The first step of the study was screening to have a prevalence of overweight in adolescents. The second step was case control study participated by 100 overweight adolescents and 100 normal weight adolescents in senior high school matched in sex, age, and school. Data collected were weight and height measurements for nutritional status, respondent identity and characteristic, breakfast dan snacking habits and physical activity. Statistical analysis used Chi-Square statistics and multivariable logistic regression analysis.Results: Prevalence of overweight in adolescents were 16,8%. There was significant association between breakfast with overweight (p<0,05; OR=3.1; 95% CI=1.4-7.47). There was no association between snacking and overweight, but there was significant association between frequency of snacking (OR=1.9; 95% CI=1.05-3.50), the energy of snacking (OR=2.1; 95% CI=1.13-4.02), and carbohydrate of snacking (OR=4.5; 95% CI=1.94-11.50) with overweight. In the multivariate model, breakfast habits, carbohydrate of snacking and physical activity had a significant association with overweight.Conclusion: Skipping breakfast was a risk factor for overweight in adolescence. Adolescents who had to snack more than twice a day were having the greater risk factor for overweight.

Penyakit diare terjadi pada anak sebesar 2,1 milyar setiap tahun di seluruh dunia, khusus di Indonesia sebesar 1,08% balita terkena diare. Pemberian ASI ekslusif juga dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan kejadian diare sebab ASI mengandung Lysosim yang melindungi bayi dari bakteri (E. Coli dan Salmonella) dan virus. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk menganali- sis hubungan pemberian ASI eklusif terhadap kejadian diare pada anak usia 7 – 59 bulan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Raya Dalam. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional ana- litik dengan pendekatan rancangan case control. Lokasi penelitian adalah di Wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Raya Dalam. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah anak yang menderita diare akut usia 7 – 59 bulan sebesar 40 kasus dan 40 kontrol. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakanuji chi square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signi kan (p=0,01)antara pemberian ASI Ekslusif dengan kejadian diare pada anak usia 7-59 bulan. Balita yang tidak mendapatkan ASI Ekslusif memiliki peluang 3,45 kali lebih besar untuk terkena diare (OR=3,45). Kesimpulan penelitian yaitu balita tidak ASI ekslusif berisiko mengalami diare.
