Background & Objective: Prediabetes is a high-risk condition for developing diebetes mellitus. Adult
women have a higher risk of experiencing prediebetes compared with men. Excessive of simple
carbohydrate intake, low of fiber intake and physical activity risk to increasing blood glucose levels. This
study aimed to analyze the correlation between total carbohydrate intake, simple carbohydrate intake, fiber
intake and physical activity with prediabetes in adult women. Materials and Methods: This study used a
case control with 36 women aged 45-55 years old in each group chosen by simple random sampling. Food
intake was assessed using by Semi FFQ. Waist circumference was measured using by a tape measure, and
physical activity was obtained using by Long IPAQ. Data were analyzed using by Chi Square, Fisher Exact
and multiple logistic regression test. Results: There is a difference in mean of waist circumference, fasting
blood glucose, simple carbohydrate intake, fiber intake and physical activity in both groups. The variable at
risk for prediabetes were simple carbohydrate intake (OR=3,94;95%CI 1,23-12,56), fiber intake
(OR=2,63;95%CI 0,91-7,63) and fat intake (OR=2,14;95%CI 0,78-5,84). Intake of simple carbohydrate and
fiber are the most dominant variable that affecting the incidence of prediabetes with a proportion of 14,5%.
There were no correlation between total carbohydrate intake, fiber intake and physical activity with
prediabetes in adult women. Conclusion: Excessive simple carbohydrate intake and low fiber intake were
risk in the occurrence of prediabetes.

Background & Objective: Malnutrition is still common in many developing countries including Indonesia.
Various efforts made by the government to overcome malnutrition. One of them is through nutrition
education as in the Therapeutic Feeding Center (TFC) program. Activities that increase knowledge of
nutrition will depend highly on the mother‟s education level. This study aims to analyze the correlation of
education level to mother‟s knowledge of children under five following the TFC program in Sukoharjo
regency, Central Java. Method : This study used an observational design with Cross Sectional approach
which took place in September 2016-February 2017 at Gatak, Weru and Sukoharjo Public Health Center. 35
samples were chosen by Simple Random Sampling technique. The maternal education and nutritional
knowledge variables were obtained using questionaires that has been tested for reliability. Statistical analysis
using Chi Square. Results: Respondent were mostly mothers with children aged 37-60 months (77.1%),
aged <35 years (60%), low family income (62%) and small family (77.1 %). The majority mothers with low
education are 54.3% and have good nutritional knowledge of 45.7%. The minimum score of mother's
nutritional knowledge is 50 and the maximum is 90 with an average of 68.5 points. The correlation test got a
p value of 0.03 with Odd Ratio of 6.2 (1.4-26.9) means that mother with a low education level has a
probability 6.2 times higher lack of nutritional knowledge. Conclusion: There is a correlation between
education level with knowledge of mother following TFC program in Sukoharjo Regency Central Java.

Background & Objective: Trend and prevalence of stunting are required to see the success of community
health nutrition outcomes over time. The purpose of this research is to know the trend and stunting
prevalence in baduta year 2007, 2011 and year 2016 in Central Sulawesi. Material and Method : This
research used a retrospective cohort design. This research is conducted on June 7, 2017 until October 3, 2017
in Palu City and Donggala Regency Central Sulawesi. The population in this study was the data sets of PSG
in 2007, 2011 and 2016 as much as 16,105. Samples were 6391 sets of data baduta. Results: Prevalence of
stunting in 2007, 2011 and 2016 was 32.3%, 31.5% and 26.0%, respectively. In the last 9 years there was a
6.2% decline or an average of 0.6% per year. Conclusion: The prevalence of Baduta in 2007, 2011 and
2016 consecutively was 32.3%, 31.5% and 26.0%. Prior programs that have been undertaken by the health
department are continued by improving cross-sectoral cooperation in sensitive programs the first 1000 days
of life. The highest stunting problem in the 12-23 month age group means stunting prevention focuses on
strengthening the complementary feeding program.

Background & Objective: Management of domestic wastewater to improve access of domestic wastewater
services that are environmentally friendly, so as to achieve improved quality of life of society and a better
and healthier environment. This study aims to assess the risky areas of residential areas to improve access
and management of domestic waste water in districts Koto Tangah Padang City. Material and Method:
This research use cross sectional design. Population and sample of 520 families. Analysis of data used
univariate and bivariate. Results: The results of this study indicate that 8.74% of the non-accessed latrines
are categorized as having single defecation, 20% have no septic tanks, access to the lowest stool treatment
system in Kelurahan Koto Pulai, Batipuh Panjang and Padang Sarai at 37, 5%. 76.95% safe access to latrines
and no secure access in Kelurahan Balai Gadang.Penentuan wastewater area of domestic wastewater
sanitation of domestic wastewater components in Kecamatan Koto Tangah Kota Padangyang included in the
level of very high risk (risk 4) consists of Kelurahan Balai Gadang. Correlation test (p = 0.001) indicate a
significant relationship between education and community income with the support of Jamban and SPALD
ownership in districts Koto Tangah Padang City. Conclusion: It is necessary to increase the welfare of the
program that touches directly to the rising public which has implications for the improvement of domestic
sewage treatment system facilities.

Background & Objective: School-aged children are a group of children who are vulnerable to unbalanced
nutritional intake so that the risk of high rates of growth failure in children. To analyze the correlation of
protein, essential amino acids, folic acid and iron intake with z-score height according to age and
hemoglobin level. Material and Method: A quantitative research using cross-sectional research design. The
population is all elementary school students class I - V at SDN Poboya is 220 students. The sample size
obtained by Slovin formula calculation is 69 students. Data of protein, amino acids, folic acid and iron intake
were measured using SQ-FFQ questionnaire. Stunting is measured using a height measuring instrument and
WHO Anthro application, hemoglobin levels using the GCHb EasyTouch tool. Analysis data of univariate
and bivariate. Results: Average protein intake (66.3 ± 1.6 g), amino acid (isoleu-cine = 3.1 ± 0.7; leucine =
5.3 ± 1.3; lysine = 4.4 ± 1.2; methio-nine = 1.5 ± 0.4), iron (7.7 ± 2.1), and folic acid (150.6 ± 45.4). The
incidence of stunting is 15.9% and anemia is 33.3%. Intake of proteins, amino acids, iron, and folic acid had
no significant correlation with the value of Z-Score Height According to Age (p> 0.05) whereas with
hemoglobin levels have a significant correlation (p < 0,05). Conclusion: Intake of nutrients that are still less
than the AKG in children are amino acids, folic acid and iron. The intake of nutrients that correlated
positively with hemoglobin levels were proteins, amino acids, folic acid, and iron.

Background and Objetive: A community which still performs a traditional ceremony called “Balia” can be
found in Balaora Village, In South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Although modern health services already exist, the
Balia is a tradition of To Kaili community in solving their health problem. Material and Method: The
method used is a systematic review of literature, a procedure performed by collect of information from
several related sources to study the topic, then cataloging and documentation. Results: As an example of
social behavior, when they suffer a disease, they prefer to visit a shaman rather than a medical doctor or
educated health professionals. Another fact is when the folks fail in curing their health problems by modern
health services, they will back to the traditional method such as a shaman or traditional herbs. Balia
ceremony had existed long time ago and it is believed to be beneficial to To Kaili. According to their belief,
the Balia ceremony is able to cast out evils in the human body. In a performance of the Balia Dance, all the
dancers and participants need to involve their soul and felling; the attention must be concentrated into the
ceremony.. Conclusion: The tradition of Balia as ancestral belief is believed to avoid all kinds of calamities
and healing media. Therefore, the community thinks that there is no harm to perform it. Therefore, the
tradition of Balia must be preserved and kept as an alternative for health problem of To Kaili in this modern
era.
