The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the world population suffering from anaemia is 1.62 billion, with a prevalence in elementary school children of 25.4% or 305 million. Iron nutritional anaemia is still a public health problem, with a majority in children 5 - 12 years old at 29% in Indonesia. The impact of anaemia on elementary school students can cause physical growth and development disorders (stunting). One recommended intervention to prevent stunting in school-age children is early detection of anaemia. The procedure of community service is through several stages; the first stage is coordination and preparation, the second stage is anaemia screening in school-age children by doing haemoglobin checks, and the third stage is nutrition education for students through games. The target is elementary school students in grades 3-5 of SDN Kembangan Bantul Yogyakarta. Community service results showed that of the 36 students who measured haemoglobin levels, 14.5% had anaemia. The results showed before nutrition education, 77,4% of students had less knowledge, and 22,6% had enough knowledge. Meanwhile, 11,3% of students had less knowledge, 56,6% had sufficient knowledge after the intervention, and 32,1% had good knowledge. The different tests showed a p-value of 0.024, meaning an increase in nutritional knowledge after being given nutritional education through games to students of SDN Kembangan Bantul Yogyakarta.

Background: Childhood obesity became a major nutritional problem in the last decades and growing rapidly in many countries, including Indonesia. Processed food especially ultra-processed food (UPF) as part of NOVA classification had known to contain obesogenic nutrients which were high energy-dense, fatty, sugary, and salty may lead to higher body mass index-for-age (BAZ). Objective: The study aimed to assess the correlation between UPF and BAZ among school-age children 10-12 years old in Surabaya. Methods: A cross-sectional study and data collection were conducted in three public and private schools in Surabaya, East Java Indonesia from March-April 2020. Elementary students in the 4th and 5th grades were enrolled and 136 students were randomly selected as respondents. Weight and height measurements were obtained for calculating the BAZ, and UPF consumption was obtained by food frequency questionnaire. Structured questionnaires and physical activity questionnaires for children (PAQ-C) were used to assess socio-demographic status, physical activity level, energy intake, and sedentary screen time. ANOVA test was done for bivariate analysis and linear regression for multivariate analysis, all data analyzed used SPSS version 20. Results: The result found a mean of BAZ was 0.31 SD; 35.3% of respondents were in the 1st tercile of UPF consumption. Most of the respondents had inadequate TEI and low PAL. No significant association was found between UPF consumption and BAZ (p=0.217). Only physical activity that significant in multivariate analysis (p=0.032) Conclusion: It was necessary to distinguish the type of obesogenic and non-obesogenic UPF to get a clear correlation between UPF consumption and BAZ among school-age children.
