Introduction: Considering the importance of birth registration for children, the government has been put a policy in place to provide legal recognition of a child’s identity. This study aims to examine the factors associated with birth registration among children aged one-four years in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional design was applied in this study using data from the 2017 Indonesian demographic and health survey. A sample of 15,624 mothers with children aged one-four years were included in this research as the subjects. To examine the associated factors, Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression were used. Results: The prevalence of children’s birth registrations in Indonesia was 77.9%. Multivariate analysis showed that the mother variables, such as mothers aged between 35 and 39 years (odds ratio [OR]=1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.22-2.33), their higher education levels (OR=4.63, CI=2.93-7.30), their current marital status (OR=2.0, CI=1.48-2.66), the richest quintile (OR=5.04, CI=3.91-6.50), living in the west Indonesian region (OR=2.85, CI=2.29-3.55), were significantly associated with a higher possibility of registering the child’s birth. In the same vein, the variables of being born at a health facility (OR=1.23, CI=1.04-1.46), being assisted by a skilled birth attendant (OR=1.72, CI=1.39-2.15), female children (OR=1.28, CI=1.16-1.43), and children aged four years old (OR=8.07, CI=6.72-9.69), were the factors associated with birth registration in Indonesia. Conclusion: Our study showed that birth registrations related to the demographic, socioeconomic, and health services are given to the family, particularly mother and child. Structured policies to improve the birth registration rate for the less privileged or vulnerable groups, poor and limited access to health services should be considered in the long run.

Optimal learning achievement is often obtained through the consumption of nutritious and balanced food, which prevents poor nutritional statuses. This is particularly relevant to Junior High School students aged 12-15 years, who are more prone to experience malnutrition. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate determinants of students’ learning achievement according to nutritional status, nutritional knowledge, students’ diet, physical activity, and learning interest. This was a descriptive correlation cross-sectional study. Three hundred and fifty Junior High School students in Jayapura Municipality, Papua Province, Indonesia was involved as sample in this study. The study sample were taken by accidental sampling method. The primary data (knowledge of nutrition, diet, physical activity, interest in learning, nutritional status, and learning achievement) and secondary data were obtained from relevant sources and analyzed using frequency distribution analysis and statistical path analysis tests. The results showed the indirect effect of exogenous variables on the endogenous, where nutritional knowledge and students diet influenced nutritional status (p-value = 0.001), but physical activity had no impact (p-value = 0.167). Meanwhile, the direct effect of exogenous variables on the endogenous showed that nutritional knowledge, interest in learning, and nutritional status influenced students’ achievement (p-value = 0.001). Thus, nutritional status plays a significant role in determining students’ learning achievement. Nutrition knowledge and students diet indirectly affect learning achievement through nutritional status. Nutritional status, nutritional knowledge, and interest in learning directly affect the learning achievement of junior high school students. It is important to improve nutritional status through nutritional knowledge as well as students’ diet, therefore this would eventually improve learning achievement. Keywords: nutrition status, students, achievement, physical activity, interest in learning

Background and Objectives: Optimal learning achievement is often obtained through the consumption of nutritious and balanced food, which prevents poor nutritional statuses, such as severely underweight, underweight, overweight, and obese. This is particularly relevant to Junior High School students aged 11-16 years, who are more prone to malnutrition. Therefore, this study aimed to improve learning achievement through balanced nutrition among Junior High School students. Materials and Methods: The study procedures were carried out using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample population consisted of 350 Junior High School students in Jayapura Municipality, Papua Province, Indonesia. Primary and secondary data were obtained from relevant sources and analyzed using frequency distribution analysis and statistical path analysis tests. Results: The results showed the indirect effect of exogenous variables on the endogenous, where nutritional knowledge and a balanced diet influenced nutritional status (p-value = 0.001), but physical activity had no impact (p-value = 0.167). Meanwhile, the direct effect of exogenous variables on the endogenous showed that nutritional knowledge, interest in learning, and nutritional status influenced students’ achievement (p-value = 0.001). Based on these results, nutritional status played a crucial role in improving the learning achievement of junior high school students.
