This study analyzes outcomes of the intervention of nutrition education and Javanese traditional game-based physical activity, on lipid profiles of overweight and obese children. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The experimental study consisted of three steps: data collection (October to December 2016), intervention processes (January to March 2017), and final report preparation (April to May 2017). This was a split-plot block study, enrolling a total of 72 subjects. Traditional game intervention (12 meetings) and nutrition education (9 meetings) was carried out within 3 months with material related to obesity. RESULTS: Our results showed no decrease in the levels of total cholesterol in the group receiving nutrition education (rise by 1.56 mg/dL), but when compared to subjects without intervention, total cholesterol levels experienced was increased. The group which did not receive physical activity showed increase in the total cholesterol, whereas the traditional game intervention group showed a decrease of 0.05 mg/dL total cholesterol at the end of the intervention. Nutrition education and physical activity interventions did not influence any reduction in the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, but rather showed a tendency to increase at the end of the intervention. However, the increase in LDL-c levels in the traditional game group was lower than in other intervention groups. Duncan's test indicated that the effect of nutrition education and physical activity interventions did not differ from the cutoff values of LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS: Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the traditional game group tended to decrease at the end of the intervention, but the results did not differ much from other intervention groups. We deduce that nutrition education and traditional game-based physical activity interventions are not capable of improving blood lipid profiles in overweight and obese children within 3 months. It is necessary to increase the time of physical activity intervention to maintain the lipid profile in another study.

In the context of urban development and social change, children's food habits and low physical activity put them at risk of childhood obesity. More specifically, factors such as relatively high educational level and income of parents, provision of pocket money, and easily accessible fast food restaurants, play a role in this. This study aimed to assess the impact of such factors on the nutritional status and physical fitness of middle-class schoolchildren in the city of Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. A cross sectional study involving 224 grade-5 elementary schoolchildren was done. Data collection included a mix of methods. Results shows that overweight risk is 4.5 higher for non-fit children compared to fit children. Overweight children had significantly lower physical fitness scores. Children with pocket money more than IDR 10,000/day (€ 0.66) had 2.7 times more risk to become overweight than children with less pocket money. Low education of the mother decreased overweight risk 0.4 times. Mothers with a high education mostly had an occupation outside the home, hence had less time for food care. High protein adequacy levels of more than 120% decreased overweight risk 0.4 times. These findings suggest that social change and development in the urban context have a negative impact on the nutritional status and fitness of schoolchildren.

This study aimed to explore the awareness and understanding of school-going adolescent girls and parents regarding anaemia and WIFAS. The study was conducted in 10 districts, each from East Java province and East Nusa Tenggara province. Twenty focused group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with school-going adolescent girls (n5174) and ten FGDs with parents (n566). Also, in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted with school-going adolescent girls (n520) and their parents (n510) from 20 schools. All FGDs and IDIs were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed for themes using NVivo Pro 12 software. School going adolescent girls and parents had high levels of misinformation about anaemia and healthy nutritional practices, which were influenced by socio-cultural milieu and local dietary habits. Both parents and girls perceived low risk of anaemia for school-going adolescent girls. Girls stated that their parents' opinion about anaemia influenced their desire to consume iron supplements. In conclusion, girls and parents would benefit from increased access to information about anaemia risks and prevention, and the benefits of WIFAS for adolescent girls. Prevention of anemia should include relevant dietary guidance that considers their socio-cultural milieu and local dietary habits.
