Intersectoral and eco-nutritional approaches to resolve
persistent anemia in Indonesia
Author:Widjaja Lukito, Mark L Wahlqvist
Keywords:econutrition, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, genetics, policy development
Abstract:Anemia in Indonesia has been of concerning persistence in all age groups for some 75 years since independence. The relationships between anemia and nutrition are complex being evident with compromised general health and nutrition. Increased micronutrient intakes, especially iron and folic acid, has alleviated the problem, but encouraged nutrient-specific micronutrient interventions as attractive policy directions as if anemia were a stand-alone
disease irrespective of associated disorder. Concer

Nutritional contributors to maternal anemia in Indonesia: Chronic energy deficiency and micronutrients
Author:Nur Indrawaty Lipoeto, Masrul, Ricvan Dana Nindrea
Keywords:anemia, pregnancy, risk factors, chronic energy deficiency, policies
Abstract:Background and Objectives: Despite enduring efforts in Indonesia to eliminate anemia in pregnancy, it remains a major nutritional problem. Its nutritional contributors were reevaluated. Methods: A meta-analysis of reports on anemia during pregnancy in Indonesia from January 2001 to December 2019 in the PubMed and ProQuest databases was conducted. Pooled ORs were obtained in fixed- and random-effects models. Funnel plots and Egger’s and Begg’s tests were used to evaluate publication bias. Review

Nutritional anemia in Indonesia children and adolescents: Diagnostic reliability for appropriate management
Author:Mohammad Juffrie, Siti Helmyati, Mohammad Hakimi
Keywords:multifactorial anemia, adolescent, children, Indonesia, nutritional interventions
Abstract:Background: Nutritional anemia in Indonesian children and adolescents is generally regarded and treated as iron-deficient anemia, as it is in individuals in other age groups. Objectives: Yet, it remains a public health threat without comprehensive management or a sustained solution. Methods: This review seeks to improve understanding of impediments to its resolution. Relevant studies reported in the past 5 years were identified in PubMed, Science Direct, Crossreff, Google Scholar, and Directory

Non-nutritional anemia: Malaria, thalassemia, G6PD deficiency and tuberculosis in Indonesia
Author:Safarina G Malik, Sukma Oktavianthi, Mark L Wahlqv
Keywords:hemoglobin, malaria, thalassemia, G6PD, tuberculosis
Abstract:Anemia affects people worldwide and results in increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in children and reproductive-age women. Anemia is caused by an imbalance between red blood cell (RBC) loss and production (erythropoiesis), which can be caused by not only nutritional factors but also non-nutritional factors, such as inflammation and genetics. Understanding the complex and varied etiology of anemia is crucial for developing effective interventions and monitoring anemia control programs

Non-nutritional and disease-related anemia in Indonesia: A systematic review
Author:Agussalim Bukhari, Firdaus Hamid, Rahmawati Minhaj
Keywords:anemia of inflammation, helminthiasis, non-nutritional anemia, chronic disease, iatrogenic anemia
Abstract:Non-nutritional anemia, the second most common type of anemia worldwide after nutritional anemia, includes the anemia of inflammation (AI) and that due to helminthiasis. In this review, we examine the contribution that non-nutritional anemia makes to incidence in Indonesia. Anemia due to helminthiasis is a common problem in Indonesia and contributes to prevalence, particularly in children under 5 years. We conducted a systematic literature review based on Google Scholar and Pubmed for non-nutrit

Nutritional anemia: Limitations and consequences of Indonesian intervention policy restricted to iron and folic acid
Author:Nadiyah, Lintang Purwara Dewanti, Erry Yudhya Muly
Keywords:iron deficiency anemia, Indonesia, program policy, supplementation, fortification
Abstract:Background and Objective: Currently, anemia is a severe public health issue in Indonesia. The aim of this review was to examine policy measures and program implementation to reduce anemia attributed to iron deficiency in Indonesia. Methods and Study Design: A literature search was conducted using Google Search, Sciencedirect.com, and PubMed to retrieve relevant studies in the last three decades. Qualitative data were also obtained from service
providers. The search yielded 141 articles, of which
