“…No relationship was established between the type of school and diet quality. On the other hand, conforming to a study conducted by Yabanci, 16 it was observed that children from public schools had higher scores for Total Vegetables, Total Fruits but lower scores for Whole grains and milk compared to children from private schools. They also explained that the differences in diet could be related to SES since parents with low and middle incomes send their children to public schools.…”

“…They also explained that the differences in diet could be related to SES since parents with low and middle incomes send their children to public schools. 16 To our findings, it can be deduced that irrespective of their type of school, Mauritian children bear the same dietary pattern Insignificant differences were found between mother's level of education and diet quality in terms of total HEI score and the score for each component. It goes undenying to the fact that mothers are role models and help in shaping their children's eating behavior.…”

Childhood obesity is the most common form of malnutrition and is a strong predictor of adult obesity and risk factors for many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers and premature death.1 The increasing prevalence of childhood obesity is caused by multiple factors such as the complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. 8.5% of boys and 7.8% of girls aged between 5 to 11years have been found to be obese (National Plan of Action for Nutrition 2009-2010, p2). Undernutrition affects 24.3% of children from the same age group indicating that the young Mauritian population is afflicted by the double burden of malnutrition.Unhealthy eating habits during childhood hinder optimal growth and development.3,4 Children tend to eat foods that are readily available and easily accessible. Current eating pattern do not correspond to the usual, habitual pattern of consuming at least breakfast, dinner and a single snack at home with lunch carried to school. 5 There is a decline in breakfast consumption and an increase consumption of energydense foods. [6][7][8] In addition, social determinants may play significant role in understanding diet-related behaviours. Viswanath & Bond 6 reported that residents living in areas with poor access to healthy foods have more fat in their diet and are more prone to be overweight. Relative to socio-economically advantaged families, children from socio-economically disadvantaged families were more likely to be overweight, 7 cited Simen-kapeu and Veugelers. 8 Similarly there is also evidence showing that lower educational status of parents is related to lower diet quality including higher fat and lower micronutrients intake in children.6,4 Thus the study determined whether diet quality differs by social determinants and by weight status in Mauritian children aged 10 to 12years. Methods and materialsUsing a convenient sampling method a total of 212participants were involved in the study comprising of roughly equal number of boys and girls. Students aged between 10 to 12years were included in the study, belonging to both urban and rural regions and children suffering from any acute diseases or disabilities were excluded. Data were collected during the academic year 2014-2015 in 6educational institutions which were based on the 4 educational zones of Mauritius. A sample of about 40students was taken from each school and only those who returned a signed parental consent forms were allowed to participate in the study. Socio-demographic data, physical activity level and anthropometric measurementsGender, age, ethnicity, parent's level of education, type of school and geographical area of residence were self-reported. Socioeconomic level was obta...

“…They also knew to avoid giving food that contained artificial flavouring and believes in the effects of nutrition to health as compared to mothers who had a lower level of nutritional knowledge. These mothers affect children's eating habits (Yabancı, Kısaç, & Karakuş, 2014). Another factor that contributed to parents going out to fast food restaurants such as Mc Donalds and KFC is due to these settings offering playground facilities for their children that might contribute more to children's request of fast food.…”

Overweightness and obesity is a problem that has been rising in the Malaysian suburban environment. This study is conducted to evaluate the healthy food behavior, attitudes, knowledge and healthy environment of obese school children aged 10-11 years old. Obese school children received the nutritional educational program (NEP) comprised of a video, a comic reading session and a food selection game. The intervention resulted in a significant increase for healthy food behaviour, attitude and knowledge. However, there is an only minimal impact for a healthy environment. Overall, the results indicate that the nutritional educational program has positive impact in preventing obesity.

Konsumsi pangan masyarakat Indonesia belum sesuai dengan pesan gizi seimbang. Aplikasi Sayang ke Buah Hati (SEHATI) diharapkan dapat menjadi alat strategi promosi kesehatan untuk meningkatkan asupan zat gizi anak dan pengetahuan ibu menerapkan konsumsi aneka ragam makanan gizi seimbang. Tujuan penelitian ini menganalisis perbedaan asupan zat gizi anak dan pengetahuan ibu menerapkan konsumsi aneka ragam makanan gizi seimbang pada anak sekolah dasar sebelum dengan sesudah diterapkan aplikasi SEHATI. Periode penelitian 2-18 Maret 2017 di SDIT Jabal Nur Yogyakarta. Subjek adalah ibu yang memiliki anak usia sekolah dasar (8-12 tahun) dan anaknya yang memenuhi kriteria penelitian.

Kelompok intervensi mendapatkan pemasangan aplikasi SEHATI dan kontrol diberikan pendidikan kesehatan, tiap-tiap kelompok terdiri atas 30 responden. Data diolah dengan uji nonparametrik, yaitu uji t berpasangan pada data yang berdistribusi normal dan uji Mann-Whitney pada data yang tidak berdistribusi normal. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna penggunaan aplikasi SEHATI terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan ibu pada kelompok intervensi (25,9%; p≤0,001), terjadi peningkatan skor asupan zat gizi anak pada kelompok intervensi yang bermakna, yaitu karbohidrat (13,8%; p=0,038) dan vitamin A (51,5%; p=0,005). Simpulan, terdapat perbedaan peningkatan asupan zat gizi dan pengetahuan ibu menerapkan konsumsi aneka ragam makanan gizi seimbang pada anak sekolah dasar sebelum dengan sesudah penggunaan aplikasi SEHATI.Kata kunci: Aplikasi SEHATI, asupan zat gizi, konsumsi aneka ragam makanan, pengetahuan Sayang ke Buah Hati (SEHATI) Application Usage on Children Nutrient Intake and Mothers' Knowledge in Implementing Nutritionally Balanced Food Variety among Primary School Children AbstractNutrient imbalance affects children growth and development.
