“…Faktor lain yang ada pengaruhnya dengan status gizi anak adalah adanya penyakit menular dan kondisi sanitasi yang kurang baik. Masalah gizi anak terutama disebabkan oleh tidak seimbangnya asupan dan zat gizi yang dikeluarkan oleh tubuh (nutrient imbalance) dan adanya alternatif kesalahan pada penentuan atau pemilihan bahan-bahan yang akan dikonsumsi (Dipasquale et al, 2020). Meskipun pola makan anak tidak mencukupi, kemungkinan status gizi anak baik tidak dikesampingkan.…”

Elementary school children are a vulnerable group to nutritional problems. Malnutrition is generally caused by poverty, lack of food supplies, poor environmental quality, lack of public knowledge about nutrition, a balanced diet, and health. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between balanced nutrition knowledge, dietary pattern, and nutritional status of children in Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) Makassar, Indonesia. The population in this study were all students in grades 4 and 5 with a total sample of 94 people. The results showed that there was no relationship between balanced nutrition knowledge and nutritional status (P = 0.397) and there was no relationship between diet pattern and nutritional status (P = 0.662) children at SDIT Makassar. Researchers recommend a Balanced Nutrition Ambassador program in every school. Ambassadors of Balanced Nutrition will be trained related to balanced nutrition and is responsible for disseminating balanced nutrition messages to their friends and their family

IntroductionChild malnutrition in all forms is known globally as the leading cause of poor health. Planning and solving this challenge require sources that collect data accurately. Nutrition surveillance systems (NSS), nutrition registry systems (NRS) and nutrition information systems (NIS) collect and analyse data on nutrition status. Unfortunately, these systems only exist in a few countries. The methods that these systems use significantly differ and their effectiveness is also scarcely researched. This scoping literature review aimed to conduct a survey on NSS, NRS and NIS that collect data on children’s nutrition at national and international levels, along with their attributes.Methods and analysisThe methods and analyses of this scoping review follow the Arksey and O’Malley’s methodology. This scoping literature review will be conducted in five stages based on this method. (1) The main research question and subquestions are identified. (2) Relevant studies are extracted. In this step, we will search electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus and ISI Web of Science. A manual search will also be performed in Google Scholar, grey literature, and the websites of organisations such as WHO, UNICEF, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Health Service, International Food Policy Research Institute, Food and Agriculture Organization, Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance, United Nations World Food Programme, and United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition. (3) Extracted studies are separately reviewed by two reviewers based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and eligible studies are then selected. A third reviewer resolves disagreements. (4) A checklist is developed to extract the features. Data of included systems are separately extracted and entered into a checklist by two reviewers. A third reviewer then resolves any disagreement. (5) Data are summarised and analysed and are presented in tables and figures.DiscussionThis scoping literature review provides strong evidence of the status of systems that collect data on the status of child nutrition. This evidence can help select best practices which can be applied to develop future systems. It can also be a positive step towards achieving an integrated system.

“…Nutritional status and its modifications are pointed out by two review papers [2,3]. The review published by our group summarizes the new definitions and currently used classification of acute malnutrition, as well as the diagnostic assessment and treatment, which can be conducted in primary care with nutrition-specific interventions in most cases [2]. Additionally, Diamanti et al [3] present a new insight for the definition and management of failure to thrive (FTT), integrating the "classical" anthropometric criteria for definition and treatment with a more complete definition which takes into account both the clinical and anthropometric worsening, and the overall nutrition status, including the micronutrient status.…”
