Abstract
Background Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common anemia in adolescents. Iron-deficiency anemia
can interfere with growth and development. Optimal nutrient is needed to prevent iron-deficiency anemia.
Objective To identify the correlation between dietary habit with iron-deficiency anemia in adolescents.
Methods It was an observational study with cross sectional approach. The research subjects were 31 male and
81 female adolescents aged 13-16 years in Semarang city, which were taken by consecutive sampling. Data
retrieval used three days food recall and measurements of Hb, SI, TIBC. Statistical analysis using chi-square
test. Results There were 13 female subjects with iron-deficiency anemia. There was no significant relationship
between iron deficiency anemia with staple food diet, processed fish diet, meat, eggs, and processed products
diet, nuts and processed products diet, vegetables diet, fruit diet, processed milk consumption, soft drink
consumption, and vitamin C consumption with P > 0.05. Conclusion Iron-deficiency anemia is a disease
with multifactorial cause. The relationship between dietary habit and iron deficiency anemia in adolescents
should be investigate further, by involving other factors such as family income, infection, and menstrual cycle.

Abstract
Background Optimal growth and development must be achieved by all children, with the help of parents,
caregivers, and healthcare workers. Early intervention can be carried out early if routine surveillance is
done.Objective To find out the current practice of growth and development surveillance, the barriers faced,
and to think of possible solutions to the existing problems. Methods Data were obtained through an online
survey, distributed via growth and development seminar mailing list from June to July 2021 to healthcare
workers from 23 provinces in Indonesia. Results Out of 180 respondents filling the questionnaire, most
of them were general practitioners (90.6%). Forty-three percent respondents were reluctant and hesitant in
conducting developmental surveillance. Some of the reasons were limited time, inadequate screening tools,
and poor knowledge and skills. Mother and child health handbook (MCHH) was found useful to monitor
child health. Despite its simplicity and complete information, it has not been optimally used: unfilled, no
follow-up mechanism, lost, and short time to fill and interpret. Reporting system at respondents’ workplaces
were not integrated, and mostly only being reported in medical histories, MCHH, cohort book, and local
electronic medical record. Conclusion Child health documentation and reporting system in Indonesia is
still far from ideal, resulting in unavailability of real-time data and delayed interventions. Online integrated
system with thorough assessments and follow-up plans are needed for better child health. Capella Project
is working on “Bintangku” which can hopefully meet the needs of child health data integration, specifically
for low-income communities.
