Abstract

Background: Modern technology has decreased physical activities of most people, especially children. A low physical activity is one of the risk factors of flatfoot. Flatfoot is a flattening of medial longitudinal arch of the foot (MLA) affecting human’s body posture and gait. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between physical activity and age on flatfoot.Methods: This study selected 271 children from the elementary school of Cikeruh 1, Jatiroke 1, and Paripurna using cluster random sampling method. Data were collected from August to November 2015. The primary data were collected using questionnaire to determine the physical activity level and footprint method to measure MLA height which was counted using Arch Index (AI). If the AI>0.26, it was considered low arch/flatfoot. Statically, the collected data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test.Results: From a total of 271, 151 (55.7%) children had a low activity level with 120 of them (44.3%) were flatfoot, whereas in 113 (41.7%) children with an intermediate activity level, 76 children (28.0%) were flatfoot; and from a total of 7 (2.6%) children with a high activity level, 4 children (1.5%) were flatfoot. There was a negative correlation between age and arch index, right foot (r=-1.67;p=0.006), left foot (r=-1.56;p=0.01). This study proved that there was a relationship between the level of physical activity and flatfoot (Fisher=6.125/p=0.040).Conclusions: The Arch Index of the foot becomes smaller with age with an inverse correlation and low physical activities have been proved to have contibution to flatfoot occurrence.

Nutritional status has showed great influence on the occurrence of flat foot. There are many debates regarding whether underweight or overweight children are more prone to flatfoot. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and flatfoot in children.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from July to October 2015 in 3 primary schools in Kecamatan Jatinangor. There were 259 children of grade 4 to 5 included in this study. Flatfoot screening was based on measurement of footprint and calculation using Chippaux-smirak index (CSI). The height and weight of children were measured to obtain their Body Mass Index (BMI). Nutritional status was classified based on CDC BMI-for-age growth charts. Analysis was done using chi-square test.Results: There was significant association between nutritional status and flatfoot with p value<0.001.The prevalence of flatfoot in children grade 4to5is40%. When compared to the normal weight children, the overweight children showed prevalence ratio of 1.97(95% CI:1.47 to 2.64) while the underweight children showed prevalence ratio of 1.34 (95% CI:1.78 to 2.25).This stated that the risk of developing flat foot was higher in overweight children.Conclusions: There is significant association between nutritional status with children grade4 to 5. Overweight children are more prone to flat foot. [AMJ.2017;4(1):152–6] DOI: 10.15850/amj.v4n1.1038

Salah satu pemenuhan zat gizi harian yang penting adalah lewat kontribusi zat gizi Pangan Jajanan Anak Sekolah(PJAS) antara 15-20%.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran karakteristik status gizi (body mass index) dan tingkat pengetahuan PJAS pada anak sekolah dasar di Jatinangor.. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang deskriptif dengan menggunakan data primer melalui kuesioner dan pengukuran berat badan dan tinggi badan.Jumlah total sampling yang diambil sekitar 33 orang siswa kelas 4 SD Ciawi Jatinangor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar siswa berada pada status gizi kurang (underweight) baik pada laki-laki maupun perempuan. Alasan terbesar para siswa memilih jenis makanan PJAS adalah karena rasanya enak dan harganya murah. Besaran uang saku yang mereka bawa setiap harinya tidak berkorelasi dengan ketrampilan mereka dalam menentukan jenis PJAS. Perlu kerjasama yang baik antara pihak sekolah, orangtua murid dan pedagang makanan di ingkungan sekolah untuk membentuk prilaku jajan yang baik dan self efficacy yang baik pada siswa.Kata kunci :Body Mass Index, karakteristik pengetahuan jajanan , pangan jajanan anak sekolah
