Consuming food contaminated with physical, chemical, and bacteriological substances can cause diarrhea and worms, which results in children under five years old experiencing lacking nutrition and growth disorders, putting them at risk of stunting. The six principles of food sanitation hygiene aim to reduce the risk of disease transmission and health problems from consuming food. These community empowerment activities aim to increase the knowledge of health cadres in preventing stunting for children under five years old through implementation efforts of six principles of food hygiene sanitation in households. The target of this activity was 47 health cadres. Activity stages include coordination, preparation of pocketbooks, training, and evaluation. Statistical analysis was conducted for differences in health cadres' knowledge levels before and after training using the dependent t-test. The results of the coordination show that there is support and participation from 3 built villages, including Pandak, Karangmangu, and Kemutug Kidul villages. Arranged a pocketbook on stunting prevention and six principles of food sanitation hygiene as a reference for health cadres for outreach to the community. The training showed increased health cadres' knowledge before and after the activity (p-value=0.001). The results of community empowerment can be used as input for policymakers at the Baturraden II Primary Health Center and the District Health Officer Banyumas to accelerate stunting reduction through counseling on six principle hygiene sanitation implementation in households in sustainable.

Background: Central obesity causes various diseases. Abdominal fat is associated with metabolic disturbances. Dietary interventions targeting abdominal fat are reported to have health benefits. A plant-based diet is known to be beneficial in reducing abdominal fat. Objectives: This study aims to see the effect of a flexitarian diet on abdominal fat through waist circumference and SAD. Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post-test control group design. The research sample size was 21 obese female students aged 19-25 in Semarang. Subjects were selected using the consecutive sampling method and divided into treatment groups (11 subjects) and control groups (10 subjects). The four-week flexitarian diet treatment group included three main meals and two snacks, while the control group was not given any dietary intervention. However, both groups (all subjects) were given nutrition and obesity education through lectures and leaflets. Anthropometric data on body weight, waist circumference, and SAD were taken before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test, independent T-test, Mann Whitney, and ANCOVA. Results: Intakes between groups during the intervention showed statistical energy, fat, and fibre differences. SAD between the treatment group (-1.2±0.6cm) and the control group (0.2±1.5cm) showed a significant difference (p=0.010). There was no significant difference in waist circumference between the groups, but the decrease in the treatment group was more significant (-6.6±5.5cm). Physical activity did not affect changes in SAD (p=0.210), while diet treatment affected changes in SAD (p=0.010). Conclusions: Changes in SAD showed a significant difference between groups after intervention. Changes in waist circumference were insignificant between groups, but the decrease was more significant in the treatment group.,   Latar Belakang: Obesitas sentral menyebabkan berbagai penyakit. Lemak perut dikaitkan dengan gangguan metabolisme. Intervensi diet yang menargetkan lemak perut dilaporkan memiliki manfaat kesehatan. Pola makan nabati diketahui bermanfaat dalam mengurangi lemak perut. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh diet flexitarian terhadap lemak perut melalui lingkar pinggang dan diameter sagital perut (SAD). Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan quasi eksperimen dengan desain pre-post test control group design. Jumlah subjek penelitian adalah 21 siswi obesitas berusia 19-25 tahun di Semarang. Subyek dipilih dengan menggunakan metode consecutive sampling dan dibagi menjadi kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol. Kelompok perlakuan diberikan edukasi dan diet fleksibel selama 4 minggu, sedangkan kelompok kontrol diberikan edukasi. Data antropometri diambil sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Analisis statistik dilakukan dengan uji-t berpasangan, uji-t independen, Mann Whitney, dan ANCOVA. Hasil: Asupan antar kelompok selama intervensi yang menunjukkan perbedaan statistik adalah energi, lemak, dan serat. SAD antara kelompok perlakuan (-1,2±0,6cm) dan kelompok kontrol (0,2±1,5cm) menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna (p=0,010). Tidak ada perbedaan bermakna lingkar pinggang antar kelompok, namun penurunan pada kelompok perlakuan lebih besar (-6,6±5,5cm). Aktivitas fisik tidak mempengaruhi perubahan SAD (p=0,210), sedangkan perlakuan diet mempengaruhi perubahan SAD (p=0,010). Kesimpulan: Perubahan SAD menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok setelah intervensi. Perubahan lingkar pinggang tidak signifikan antar kelompok, namun penurunan lebih besar pada kelompok perlakuan. &nbsp

Background: Neck circumference could describe upper-body subcutaneous fat, correlated with obesity and diabetes mellitus.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between percent body fat and neck circumference with fasting blood glucose in obese female college students.Methods: The study was cross-sectional, conducted at Diponegoro University in June-August 2019. 119 participants were female, aged 17-21 years selected using the purposive sampling method. Measurement of waist circumference was used as an indicator of obesity. Percent body fat was measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), and neck circumference was measured using a met line. Fasting blood glucose was examined after the subject fasted for 8-12 hours, the amount of blood taken was 5 cc. Data were analyzed with the Rank-Spearman correlation test.Results: As many as 84% of subjects had excess percent body fat. The median neck circumference was 32.5 cm. The median fasting blood glucose was 87 mg / dL. There was a significant correlation between percent body fat with fasting blood glucose (r = 0.231) (p = 0.012). There was no correlation between neck circumference with fasting blood glucose (r = 0.137) (p = 0.137).Conclusion: Percent of body fat had a significant relationship with fasting blood glucose, and the greater the circumference of the neck, the greater fasting blood glucoseKeywords: Obesity, Neck Circumference, Percent Body Fat, Fasting Blood Glucose
