BACKGROUND: Malnutrition that occurs during pregnancy can result in inadequate household food security so that it will affect the baby to be born. AIM: This study aims to determine household food security, nutrient intake, and nutritional status of pregnant women in the Central Tapanuli Regency. METHODS: This research is part of the DRPM research with the title of improving the nutrition of pregnant women and the success of breastfeeding immediately after birth through strengthening household food security in the Central Tapanuli Regency. The stages of this research are to identify the level of household food security and nutrient intake as well as the nutritional status of pregnant women. The study was conducted using observation and interviews as well as measuring LILA, examination of Hb levels, and iodine levels in the urine of 131 pregnant women purposively in eight districts of the Central Tapanuli. RESULTS: The household food security of status that is food insecure is 18.3%. The nutritional status of pregnant women with anemia was 58.7% and those with SEZ were 19.1% fiber with the low levels of iodine in the urine as much as 63.9%. Adequate intake of energy nutrients is 42% and sufficient protein is 38.9%. There was a significant relationship between food security status and energy intake (p = 0.000; OR = 53.9) and protein intake (p = 0.004; OR = 4.1). CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant relationship between household food security status with energy and protein intake of pregnant women. Increased consumption of foods containing animal protein is recommended for pregnant women related to household food insecurity.

Background: The nutritional status of elementary school children can be influence by many factors such as levels adequacy of energy and proteinand household food security status. Unbalanced levels adequacy of energy and protein possibility can cause nutritional problems in children. While the status of household food security has an impact on the household ability to access a good food. Objectives: aims of this study are to analyze the relationship between nutritional adequacy level and household food security status with nutritional status of children aged 6-8 years. Method: This study used cross sectional design with sample of 62 families with children aged 6-8 years enrolled in SDN 1 and 2 Sambirejo. Anthropometric measurement of height and weight is used to determine the nutritional status of children. The instruments used 2x24-hours food recall form (energy and protein adequacy level), and US-HFSSM (household food security status). While the statistical test used is spearman correlation test. Results: The results showed a correlation between levels of energy (p=0.000) and protein (p=0.000) adequacy and household food security status (p=0.010) with child nutritional status. Conclusion: Households with food insecurity had a higher proportion of nutritional problem than food secure family, so it is needed to children for having supplemental food, especially them who have nutritional problems and on food insecurity condition. It is intended to provide children with additional nutritious food to reduce the risk of nutritional problems.ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Status gizi anak sekolah dasar dapat dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor diantaranya tingkat kecukupan energi dan protein serta status ketahanan pangan rumah tangga.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the association of seasonality with dietary diversity, household food security and nutritional status of pregnant women in a rural district of northern Bangladesh.DesignA cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2013 to February 2015. Data were collected on demographics, household food security (using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale), dietary diversity (using the women’s dietary diversity questionnaire) and mid-upper arm circumference. Descriptive statistics were used to explore demographics, dietary diversity, household food security and nutritional status, and inferential statistics were applied to explore the role of seasonality on diversity, household food security and nutritional status.SettingTwelve villages of Pirganj sub-district, Rangpur District, northern Bangladesh.SubjectsPregnant women (n 288).ResultsSeasonality was found to be associated with dietary diversity (P=0·026) and household food security (P=0·039). Dietary diversity was significantly lower in summer (P=0·029) and spring (P=0·038). Food security deteriorated significantly in spring (P=0·006) and late autumn (P=0·009).ConclusionSeasons play a role in women’s household food security status and dietary diversity, with food security deteriorating during the lean seasons and dietary diversity deteriorating during the second ‘lesser’ lean season and the season immediately after. Interventions that aim to improve the diet of pregnant women from low-income, subsistence-farming communities need to recognise the role of seasonality on diet and food security and to incorporate initiatives to prevent seasonal declines.

Abstract Objectives Little is known about the nutritional status of elderly in Nepal, in particular among indigenous communities in high altitude areas. The main objective of this study was therefore to determine the nutritional status of elderly and their household food security status on the Nepal-China border. Methods The study was conducted in Mugu Karmarong rural municipality, as part of Mugu district that habitats mostly indigenous Tibetan-speaking communities. We used a descriptive cross-sectional design and a total of 128 participants were identified using purposive sampling. Anthropometry and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) were used to determine nutritional status and the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) was used to categorize households according to a food insecurity scale. Results The mean (range) age of participants was 69 (60–84) years. The majority (81%) of the 128 participants had no any education, they were mostly (86%) Buddhist and 72% were married. Based on the MNA-SF scores, 30.5% had a normal nutritional status, 40.6% were at risk for malnutrition while 28.9% were malnourished. In somewhat contrast, our BMI measurements (using the cut-off values from a national survey) suggested that the majority (79.7%) had BMI values within the normal reference range. Based on the HFIAS, only 30.4% of the households were scored as food secure whereas 29% of the households belonged to the severe food insecurity category followed by 26% being moderately food insecure and 11% being mildly food insecure. Our findings revealed that type of the household, use of iodized salt, seasonal migration and household food security status, were all significantly associated with nutritional status of the elderly. Those living in severely food insecure households were 3.2 times more likely to be malnourished than those from food secured households while those living in moderately insecure household was 1.8 times more at risk of malnutrition than those from food secure households. Conclusions We found that about 2/3 of the elderly were either at risk of malnutrition or were malnourished. Only 1/3 of the surveyed households were food secure. Hence, there are alarming risks of malnutrition and food insecurity among elderly in this remote, mountainous region. Funding Sources This study was partly sponsored by the University of Oslo.

Background: Food security is an important aspect that plays a role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based on the second purpose of SDGs, food security can be achieved if the community has been free from hunger, access to safe and nutritious food is sufficient for everyone. Food security is an important aspect because it can influence the nutritional status of the community, especially children. According to Riskesdas 2018, in Indonesia the prevalence of malnutrition and malnutrition in children are 13.85% and 3.9%.Objectives: To analyze the relationship of household food security, incidence of illness, and environmental sanitation with nutritional status of children in Sidotopo, Semampir Surabaya.Method: This research used cross sectional design. The sample size was 64 household. Sampling was done by multistage random sampling. Data was collected through interview using US-HFSSM, recall 2x24hours, environmental sanitation, and general questionnaire. The result was analyzed using spearman test. Result: Food security had a significant relationship between nutritional status WAZ (p<0.001), the incidence of illness had a significant relationship with nutritional status WAZ (p=0.001), and environmental sanitation had a significant relationship with nutritional status with WAZ (p=0.039). Conclusion: The conclusion that there were relationship of household food security, incidence of illness, and environmental sanitation with nutritional status of children.ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Ketahanan pangan merupakan salah satu aspek penting yang berperan dalam pencapaian Susteinable Development Goals (SDGs). Berdasarkan tujuan kedua SDGs, ketahanan pangan dapat dikatakan tercapai apabila masyarakat telah bebas dari kelaparan, akses pangan yang aman dan bergizi tercukupi untuk semua orang. Ketahanan pangan merupakan aspek yang penting karena mampu mempengaruhi status gizi masyarakat terutama balita. Menurut Riskesdas 2018, di Indonesia prevalensi status gizi kurang  dan gizi buruk pada balita sebesar 13,85% dan 3,9%.Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga, kejadian sakit, dan sanitasi lingkungan dengan status gizi balita di Kelurahan Sidotopo Kecamatan Semampir Kota Surabaya.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Besar sampel sebanyak 64 rumah tangga. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan cara multistage random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuisioner US-HFSSM untuk mengetahui status ketahanan pangan rumah tangga, kuisioner sanitasi lingkungan untuk mengetahui status sanitasi lingkungan rumah, dan kuisioner umum untuk mengetahui identitas responden, kejadian sakit dan status gizi responden . Penelitian dianalisis dengan uji korelasi spearman.Hasil: Ketahanan pangan memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan status gizi BB/U (p<0,001) dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,463, kejadian sakit memiliki hubugan signifikan dengan status gizi berdasarkan indeks BB/U (p=0,001) dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar -0,390, dan sanitasi lingkungan memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan status gizi berdasarkan indeks BB/U (p=0,039) dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,259.Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga, kejadian sakit, dan sanitasi lingkungan dengan status gizi balita.

Measuring household food insecurity represents a challenge due to the complexity and wide array of factors associated with this phenomenon. For over one decade, researchers and agencies throughout the world have been using and assessing the validity of variations of the United States Department of Agriculture Household Food Security Supplemental Module. Thanks to numerous studies of diverse design, size, and purpose, the Household Food Security Supplemental Module has shown its suitability to directly evaluate the perceptions of individuals on their food security status. In addition, challenges and limitations are becoming clearer and new research questions are emerging as the process advances. The purpose of this article is to describe the development, validation procedures, and use of the Household Food Security Supplemental Module in very diverse settings. The most common Household Food Security Supplemental Module related studies have been conducted using criterion validity, Rasch modeling and Cronbach-Alpha Coefficient. It is critical that researchers, policy makers, governmental and non-governmental agencies intensify their efforts to further develop tools that provide valid and reliable measures of food security in diverse population groups. Additional work is needed to synthesize a universally applicable tool able to capture the global human phenomenon of food insecurity.
