Sampel diambil berdasarkan proportional random sampling, pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dengan menggunakan kuesioner, pengolahan dan analisis data menggunakan program komputer yaitu analisis univariat, bivariat, dan multivariat.</p><p>Hasil: Tidak ada hubungan antara jenis kelamin dengan status gizi (p=0,39) OR=1,22, tidak ada hubungan antara umur dengan status gizi (p=0,25) OR=0,73, tidak ada hubungan antara akses pelayanan kesehatan dengan status gizi (p=0,78) OR=0,93. Ada hubungan antara pendidikan ibu dengan status gizi (p&lt;0,001) OR=4,06, ada hubungan antara pendidikan ayah dengan status gizi (p&lt;0,001) OR=3,37, ada hubungan antara jumlah balita dalam keluatga dengan status gizi (p=0,007) OR=2,71. Ada hubungan antara pendapatan orang tua dan status gizi (p&lt;0,001) OR=7,8. Ada hubungan antara pola asuh dengan status gizi (p&lt;0,001) ) OR=8,07, ada hubungan antara pola makan dengan status gizi (p&lt;0,001) OR=6,01.</p><p><br />Kesimpulan: Ada hubungan yang signifi kan antara pola asuh, penghasilan orang tua, pendidikan orang tua, dan pola makan dengan status gizi. Tidak ada hubungan antara jenis kelamin, umur dan akses pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan dengan status gizi.</p><p><br />KATA KUNCI: stunting, pola asuh, pola makan</p>

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan ketahanan pangan dengan status gizi balita dan ragam upaya meningkatkan ketahanan pangan dalam penanggulangan gizi buruk balita di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Legok, Kecamatan Legok, Kabupaten Tangerang.Populasi penelitian adalah orang tua/ibu/bapak dan balita umur di bawah 59 bulan yang menderita gizi buruk dan kurang gizi di bawah kondisi normal.Program peningkatan gizi masyarakat atau balita di Puskesmas Legok dilaksanakan secara harian, bulanan dan tahunan. Program harian meliputi: peningkatan pemberian Air Susu Ibu (ASI) eksklusif tanpa makanan dan minuman tambahan untuk bayi sampai umur 6 bulan. Program bulanan adalah pemantauan perkembangan berat badan balit, penimbangan badan balita, yaitu pengukuran berat badan balita untuk mengetahui pola pertumbuhan dan perkembangan peningkatan berat badan balita dan perkembangannya. Program tahunan meliputi pemantauan status gizi dan asupan gizi balita.

Obesity is associated with an accelerated aging process, which prevents healthy aging. Both obesity and aging were manifested in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator α (PGC-1α) level. These studies fulfill the scientific gap in assembled pharmacological activity assay of Caulerpa racemosa done in a previous preclinical trial. Six major compounds from sea grape (C. racemosa) extract were evaluated using an in silico approach against human pancreatic lipase, a-glucosidase, and a-amylase to predict prospective anti-obesity candidates. The lipase inhibitory activity of the extract reached 90.30 ± 0.40%, 1.75% lower than orlistat. The a-amylase inhibitory assay of the extract was 84.07 ± 5.28%, while the inhibitory activity against a-glucosidase was 81.67 ± 1.54%; both were lower than acarbose. We observe the effect of C. racemosa extract as anti-obesity with anti-aging by evaluating the obesity parameters in the human body for a 4-week period. There was a significant decrease in blood glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG), waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, and body weight (p &lt; 0.05); PGC-1α and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) increased significantly (p = 0.000), in Group B when compared with Group A. Our study revealed that sea grape extract is a potent anti-obesity with an anti-aging reagent that does not produce any significant adverse effects.

Background: The incident of malnutrition, when it is being examined, will caused mortality in 54% children under five years old. Malnutrition in children under five years old based on districts in Indonesia with prevalence of > 40% (very high) is located in 35 districts which one them is West Kotawaringin district (Kobar). The result of nutrition status measurement survey or statistic center survey in Kobar district in the year of 2005 showed that the prevalence of lack nutrition of children under five years old was 13.1 % and malnutrition was 2.3%. Children under five years old who were below the red line from January to May 2006 was 5%, 4%, 4%, 4.1% and 4.6%. The improvement of nutrition condition is necessary to improve health, decrease mortality rate of infants and children under five years old, improve the ability of growth, physical, mental, child social, work productivity as well as academic achievement. One of the approaches that are often used is by conveying message or information through education, teaching and information so that it can be well obtained and understood.Objective: This research was aimed to improve knowledge, attitude and behavior of mother of children under five years old who joint the health information with audiovisual media, module and control as well as to find out the different level of the improvement before and after intervention.Method: This was a quasi-experimental research that used pretest – posttest with control group design (random allocation). The population was allocated in three groups; control, treatment and audiovisual groups with 15 mothers who had mildly and severely malnourished children under five years of age respectively.Result: The improvement of knowledge, attitude and behavior of mothers who had children under five years old who joint the information with audiovisual media was higher than those who joint the information with module and control group. There was a difference on knowledge, attitude and behavior of mother of children under five years old before and after intervention.Conclusion: The result of the research showed that, in general, audiovisual method was better than module method and module method was better than without intervention (control group). Therefore, audiovisual was the best method to be used.
