Background: As adults, over-nutrition in children due to fast food intake becomes a major issue because it raises the risk of different diseases. Previous studies. A correlation between spending money on consumption patterns is stated, but further study of the correlation to over-nutrition is required. This study aimed to analysis the association between pocket money and the frequency of fast-food consumption toward overnutrition among junior high school students. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study carried out at Junior High School 98, South Jakarta, Indonesia. This location had a strategic location for fast-food traders. A total of 216 students’ grade-8 (13-15 years old) were selected for this study. Variables in this study were pocket money, fast food frequency, and overnutrition. The data were collected using data Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements, and questionnaire. The data were analyzed based on the z-score table from World Health Organization (WHO). Results: There was a significant correlation between pocket money and overnutrition, and it was statistically significant. Pocket money ≤ IDR 20.000 had a greater indicated overnutrition which is influenced by several conditions. However, there is no significant correlation between the frequency of fast-food consumption and overnutrition. Conclusions: Pocket money is correlate with overnutrition among junior high students. Keywords: fast-food, frequency of consumption, overnutrition, pocket money Correspondence: Dias Puspitaning Mawarni. Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran’, South Jakarta 12450, Indonesia.

Background: The improvement in socioeconomic status has led to sedentary life style and more fast food consumption. Whether fast food consumption contributes to obesity in Indonesian adolescents remains unclear.Objective: The study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of obesity and to assess the association between fast food consumption and obesity in junior high school students.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2003 to estimate the prevalence of obesity in adolescent students of Yogyakarta Special Province. Subjects of this survey were junior high school students from urban (n= 4747) and rural areas (n=4602) were included in this survey. To further analyze the association between food consumption and obesity, a sample of 140 obese (of 460 obese students) and 140 non obese students (of 8889 non obese students) was randomly selected. Data on fast food consumption were collected using Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) method from the selected obese and non-obese sample.Results: The prevalence of obesity among adolescent students was 7.9% in urban and 2% in rural areas. There was a significant difference in variety, quantity, and frequency of fast food consumption per month and hereby energy intake from fast food between obese and non-obese adolescent students (p<0.05).Conclusions: The prevalence of obesity in urban area was much higher than that in rural area. Obese students consumed fast food more frequently and more variably than non-obese students.

Background: Nutrition problems may happen to all groups of ages. A problem at a particular age group may affect nutrition status of the next periodic life cycle (intergenerational impact). Malnourished children may encounter physical growth, mental and intellectual disorder. Someone’s nutrition status may be affected by food consumption supply. Nutrition status can affect children schooling and academic achievement. Children suffering from iron deficiency have lower score in cognitive growth, study and academic achievement.Objective: To identify relationship between food consumption and haemoglobin (Hb) level and academic achievement of junior high school students at Palembang Municipality.Method: The study was an analytical survey with cross sectional design. Population and samples were junior high school students at Palembang Municipality as subject of the study. Samples were chosen with multistage sampling design, the group was randomly selected and samples of each junior high school and grade were chosen using proportional stratified random sampling technique. Data analysis used univariable, bivariable and multivariable techniques. Bivariable statistical test was used to identify relationship between food consumption and academic achievement and between Hb level and academic achievement; whereas regression test was used to identify relationship between food consumption and Hb level. Meanwhile, multivariable analysis used double linear regression. Data of food consumption were processed using NutriSurvey program for Windows. All data were then processed with SPSS program version 10.Result: There was relationship between food consumption (energy, protein, vitamin C, zinc intake) and academic achievement (energy: p=0.001, r=0.372; protein: p=0.046, r=0.209; vitamin C: p=0.009, r=0.273; zinc: p=0.042, r=0.214), and there was relationship between Hb level and academic achievement (p=<0.001, r=0.421). There was relationship between food consumption (energy intake) and Hb level. (p=0.051, r=0.205).Conclusion: The result of multivariable showed that only Hb level had significant relationship with academic achievement (p=<0.001, B=2.077).

Background: The prevalence of active smokers in Indonesia remains high. Global Adults Tobacco Survey (GATS) on 2011 stated that Indonesia has the highest number of active smokers (67% male and 2.7% female). National Health Indicator Survey 2016 showed the number of male adolescent who smoke was 54.8%. The aim of this study was to examine the smoking levels of junior high school students in Semarang City in order to arrange improvement in behavioral changes through identifying the patterns of adolescent’s smoking behavior.Methods: This study used cross sectional study design. Samples were selected with simple random sampling technique, and 160 smokers who were junior high school students were obtained from 16 sub-districts in Semarang City. Data was analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis.Results: The result showed that the majority of the respondents were light smokers (90.0%) who smoke <5 cigarettes/day. The chi square test showed that pocket money to buy cigarettes (p=0.011) and the social interaction pattern (p=0.026) have correlation to students’ smoking levels.Conclusion: Most students start to smoke at the age of less than 12 years old with light smoking degree. It is correlated with the pocket money to buy cigarettes and the social interaction pattern.

Abstract Background: Fast food consumption among students is increasing dramatically. This study aims to evaluate the effect of an intervention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in reducing fast food consumption among high school students. Method: 160 high school students from Iran were randomly recruited and assigned to experiment or control groups. The intervention was conducted over three consecutive weeks, consisting of four, 45-minute teaching sessions. Parameters were assessed on three occasions: pretest, posttest, and follow-up. In these stages, participants responded to a scale on fast food consumption which measures the beliefs and behaviors toward fast food. Results: findings revealed a statistically significant difference in the posttest between experiment and control groups in the major components of fast food consumption including behavioral beliefs (t = 5.1, p < 0001), evaluation of behavioral outcomes (t = 5.3, p < 0001), normative beliefs (t = 2.3, p < 05), motivation to comply (t = 5.5, p < 0001), control beliefs (t = 4.4, p < 0001), perceived power (t = 3.3, p < 0001), and behavioral intention (t = .68, p < 0001). Similar results were obtained in the follow-up stage. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the parent-teacher participation based intervention can be used to reduce fast food consumption amongst high school students both cognitively and behaviorally. Moreover, this intervention can be further customized to increase healthy food consumption in school students and other age groups beyond the context of school.

Aim. The aim of the study was to examine the selected nutritional behaviours of junior- high school students with different body mass from the Bialski school district. Basic procedures. Based on international standards for the subjects’ BMI, they were divided into three groups: underweight, norm, and overweight or obese. We used our own personally designed questionnaire to evaluate nutrition behaviours. Results. Body Mass Index (BMI) for most of the subjects, both girls (69.84%) and boys (79.9%) was within the norms. The most commonly noted source of knowledge about health was the media, and the least popular – teachers. Overweight and obese youth declared abiding the principles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle less frequently than the rest. More than 65% of the subjects consumed 3 to 5 meals a day. The most common mistakes in eating habits are: irregular eating, snacking in-between meals, frequently eating fast-food meals. Conclusions. The studied youth declared that they adhere to the principles of a healthy lifestyle, however, abnormal nutritional behaviours were observed related to, among others: lack of regularity in eating meals, snacking in-between meals and frequent consumption of fast-food meals. The results of the study indicate the need for education about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and its impact on health.

Objective. This study was conducted to identify some factors (beliefs and norms) which are related to fast food consumption among high school students in Isfahan, Iran. We used the framework of the theory planned behavior (TPB) to predict this behavior.Subjects & Methods. Cross-sectional data were available from high school students who were recruited by cluster randomized sampling. All of the students completed a questionnaire assessing variables of standard TPB model including attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control (PBC), and the additional variables past behavior, actual behavior control (ABC).Results. The TPB variables explained 25.7% of the variance in intentions with positive attitude as the strongest (, ) and subjective norms as the weakest (, ) determinant. Concurrently, intentions accounted for 6% of the variance for fast food consumption. Past behavior and ABC accounted for an additional amount of 20.4% of the variance in fast food consumption.Conclusion. Overall, the present study suggests that the TPB model is useful in predicting related beliefs and norms to the fast food consumption among adolescents. Subjective norms in TPB model and past behavior in TPB model with additional variables (past behavior and actual behavior control) were the most powerful predictors of fast food consumption. Therefore, TPB model may be a useful framework for planning intervention programs to reduce fast food consumption by students.

Abstract: In the year of 1995 World Health Organization (WHO) counted the prevelensi needs of orthodontic treatment in 10 industrial countries, where the needs of the orthodontic treatment around 21-64%. At this time they have never done the research of the needs of orthodontic treatment in the city of Kotamobagu. This research aims to measure the requirement of orthodontic treatment based on Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). IOTN consists of two parts: Aesthetic Component ( AC) and Dental Health Component ( DHC). This is a descriptive observational study, conducted in Theodorus Catholic junior high school Kota Kotamobagu in April 2013. The population consist of all Theodorus Catholic junior high school students between 13-14 years old that are 222 students and only 143 students are includes in the sampling frame. Samples were then checked by use IOTN (AC and DHC). The results showed that based on the AC, 95% no need treatment or mild treatment, 4.2% need borderline treatment and 0.7% great need treatment while on DHC, 85.3% no need treatment or only light treatment, 13.3% need borderline treatment and 1.4% great need treatment. The results of AC shows less valid because the AC just measured subjectively by judging only by the looks of the patients teeth, compare to the DHC where we measure objectively by checking and measuring the condition of the teeth and mouth. With that said the result of this research shows that they who has their teeth from the AC angle looks good, but from the DHC angle they need treatment. Keywords: Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need, Aesthetic Component, Dental Health.
