Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has become a prevalent problem in Indonesia as indicated by an estimated number of 240 cases per year from a total of 83 million children population. Obese children have a 10.25 higher risk for developing a high level of glucose compared to those with normal nutritional status. This research particularly focuses on investigating the correlation between primary student’s snacking pattern and physical activity with their glucose level at Islamic Primary School Athirah in Makassar by adopting a cross-sectional study research design. The samples were selected from the population of obese students with a percentage of n=32 by utilizing the purposive sampling technique. Some instruments such as consent letters, Seca Weight Scale, blood glucose level checker Microtoise, and FFQ questionnaires were used to collect research data. To measure the correlation between variables, this research used the Chi-Square test. The findings suggest that there is a correlation between a primary student’s snacking pattern and their blood glucose level (p=0.043). The findings also indicate that the student’s physical activity correlates with their blood glucose level (p=0001). To conclude, through the findings, this research encourages parents to be more apprehensive of their children's snacking behavior and physical activities, so that diabetes mellitus can be prevented as early as possible.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is the main cause of the high infant mortality rate, especially in the perinatal period. LBW is extremely susceptible to infection, a very big risk of experiencing problems when the baby grows up to adulthood. This study aimed to determine the association between high-risk expectant mother (mother's age, gestational age, maternal anemia, maternal nutritional status, and family socioeconomic status) with LBW. This research was a quantitative research with an observational analytic approach with a case control study design. The population in this study were all mothers who gave birth to babies in the working area of Somba Opu Health Center in 2020-2021. The sample in this study were 64 expectant mothers consisting of 32 cases and 32 controls taken by using a purposive sampling technique with the inclusion criteria of expectant mothers domiciled in Somba Opu sub-district having completed examination records. The association analysis used Chi Square test with 95% confidence interval. The results showed that there was a significant association between maternal anemia with LBW (p=0,003, OR=7) and there is no association between maternal age (p=0,305, OR=1,9), gestational distance (p=0,426, OR=2,8), maternal nutritional status (p=0,197, OR=2,3), and socioeconomic status of the family (p=0,238, OR=2,5) with LBW in the working area of Somba Opu Health Center, Gowa Regency in 2021. The researcher recommends that the expectant mothers routinely perform ANC in order to increase early detection of high-risk expectant mothers, and increase maternal nutritional intake by consuming balanced nutrition, taking Fe tablets, doing PMT for expectant mothers which can increase maternal Hb levels.
