Remaja putri memiliki risiko lebih besar menderita anemia dibandingkan dengan remaja putra. Anemia banyak terdapat di negara maju maupun negara yang sedang berkembang seperti Indonesia. Di Indonesia, angka prevalensi anemia pada perempuan usia 15-49 tahun sebanyak 28.8%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kurang energi kronik (KEK) dan wasting dengan kejadian anemia pada remaja putri di Kabupaten Majene. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional, teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode total sampling yaitu sebanyak 126 siswi. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat dan analisis bivariate dengan menggunakan uji correlation spearman. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa prevalensi anemia sebanyak 21.6%, prevalensi kekurangan energi kronik (KEK) sebanyak 79.3%, dan prevalensi wasting sebanyak 10.3%. Dari hasil uji statistik ditemukan nilai (p = 0.025 < α = 0.05) pada uji hubungan kurang energi kronik (KEK) dengan kejadian anemia dan ditemukan nilai (p = 0.020 < α = 0.05) pada uji hubungan antara wasting dengan kejadian anemia. Disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara kurang energi kronik (KEK) dan wasting dengan kejadian anemia pada siswi kelas VII SMPN 1 Majene, sehingga disarankan bahwa remaja putri tetap perlu mengonsumsi makanan bergizi yang adekuat dan mengkonsumsi suplemen zat besi untuk mengendalikan anemia. Selain itu, juga paham akan pentingnya kecukupan kebutuhan zat gizi untuk seusianya melalui sosialisasi kesehatan remaja putri. Saran untuk peneliti selanjutnya diharapkan untuk mengkaji lebih banyak faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi KEK dan wasting pada remaja putri di SMPN 1 Majene.

Foxtail millet (Setaria Italica) and flying fish (Hyrundicthysoxycephalus) are the most widely available food in West Sulawesi province, potentially to be developed into functional food as they contain many nutrients and bioactive components which may be beneficial for health. This study aimed to explore the nutrients content of foxtail millet and flying fish cookies as a functional food and to evaluate organoleptic aspects of the product. Design of this study was pre-experimental. Wheat, foxtail millet and flying fish were used as the component of the flour. There are five treatments were employed in this study, which were presented in %: F1=70:25:5, F2=70:20:10, F3=70:15:15, F4=70:10:20, and F5=70:5:25. The organoleptic test performed to girl students from three senior high schools in Mamuju, West Sulawesi province by a hedonic method used five scores and analyzed by Kruskall-Wallis test (α=0.05). The panellists were considered to accept the product when the score was in between 3 to 5. The findings indicated that the best combination of wheat flour: foxtail millet flour: flying fish flour ratio was F3 cookie. The score for colour, taste, and texture was above 3 (3.7 ± 0.9, 3.7 ± 0.9, and 3.5 ± 0.8, respectively). A proximate test showed that F3 cookies contained protein (11.89%), carbohydrate (45.19%), crude fibre (4.51%), and fat (21.30%), water (5.94%), and ash (1.26%).In conclusion, the use of foxtail millet and flying fish for cookies was acceptable and high nutrition content. A further study is needed to examine the health benefit of the cookies.

Currently, Indonesia is experiencing an emergency in nutritional-health problems, including Mangki Village, a village assisted by the Waqf Foundation of the Indonesian Muslim University. Women are the spearhead to preventing malnutrition and its consequences at the family level, which needs to be equipped with adequate nutrition-health knowledge. Therefore, service activities in the form of counseling are carried out to provide understanding to women about balanced nutrition, nutrition in nutritionally vulnerable groups, and nutrition-aware families. The method used in this service activity is a literacy approach with an extension model pre-post test to assess the effect of counseling from the Service Team. The results show that women's nutrition-health knowledge has increased by 19.4% significantly. Further efforts are needed to improve women's nutrition-health insight through community-based activities in Mangki Village such as PKK, Dasawisma, and Majelis Taklim by involving health workers and using simple educational media to be quickly understood by the women of Mangki village with low education.
