This cross-sectional study determined whether various factors, such as parental behavior, attitude, and knowledge and sibling and peer behaviors, were associated with smoking and drinking among early adolescents in the Republic of Vanuatu. For this purpose, logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relative importance of the factors as well as the influences of the parents/guardians, siblings, and peers. The participants consisted of 157 seventh- and eighth-grade adolescents (mean age = 13.3 years; 52.2% girls), including their parents/guardians, from three public schools in Vanuatu. According to the results, the proportions of smokers and drinkers among the adolescents were 12.7% each, while the majority of the parents/guardians disapproved of underage smoking and drinking. In addition, peer influences (i.e., regularly smoking and/or drinking and offering tobacco and/or alcohol) was significantly associated with ever smoking and drinking, whereas parental and sibling influences did not have a significant impact on ever smoking and drinking. In sum, being given tobacco or alcohol from peers had the strongest association with ever smoking and drinking among the adolescents in this study. Thus, future school-based intervention programs should focus on enhancing early adolescents’ life skills, including the ability to resist offers of tobacco and/or alcohol from their peers.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem  in most of developing countries for quite a long time, including Indonesia. In 2018, Indonesia had 30.8% of stunting toddlers, 29.6% in 2017 and 27.54% in 2016. The trend over the last 3 years the prevalence of stunting has increased. The purpose of this research is to map the spread of stunting toddlers and exclusive breast milk coverage in Indonesia. This research is a cross sectional study using secondary data sourced from reporting compiled by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2018. WebGIS is used to compile mappings of both variables in each province through the official website of BPS. The results of this study show the information presented in WebGis seen most provinces have a prevalence of stunting in black zones (very high) and exclusive breast milk coverage in red zones (very less met than national targets).

Introduction. Overweight is a consequence of nutritional transitions, seden-tarity lifestyle, and poverty. Objective. To determine the prevalence of overweight in schools. Population and methods. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, uni and bi varied analytics, and logistic regression. The CHI2 of Pearson, and Wald have been ap-plied. Odds ratio (OR), and risk factors were estimated. Results. Data concerned 300 children (49% of boys), with a sex ratio of 1.02, an average age of 14 (±2 years), and an overweight of 25%. Factors associated with overweight were ethnicity type [P - 0.000 (OR to 95%) 1.00 (0.000 – 2.000)], gender [P - 0.006 (OR to 95% CI) 2.00 (1.000 – 3.000)], family history: obesity [P - 0.000 (OR to 95% CI) 3.00 (1.000 – 6.000)], high blood pressure (HBP) [P - 0.015 (OR to 95% CI) 1.00 (1.000 – 3.000)],type 2 diabetes (T2D) [P - 0.002 (OR to 95% CI) 2.00 (1.000 – 4.000)], meals number [P - 0.000 (OR to 95% CI) 3.00 (2.000 – 6.000)], activities by week [P - 0.000 (OR to 95% CI) 4.00 (2.000 – 7.000)], and age [P - 0.000 (OR to 95% CI) 7.00 (4.068 –12.000)]. Conclusion. Overweight is high in boys. Family history, as obesity, T2D, HBP, meals number, lacks of activities increase this risk.
