Background: Adolescent growth and development is a period of very specific nutritional problems. As a result of poor growth and development, 36.3% of adolescents in Indonesia are at risk of developing CED. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of body image, the incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), and nutritional intake in adolescents in urban and rural areas.Methods: This study used a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional study conducted in Bandung and Sumedang on 387 adolescents aged 13–15 years. The instruments used in this study were body image questionnaire Figure Rating Scale (FRS) method, 2 × 24-h food recall, and anthropometry for Measuring mid upper arm circumference (MUAC).Results: Results of this study showed that more than half of adolescents in urban (54.0%) and rural areas (61.7%) were at risk of CED, had negative body image perceptions in urban (69.1%) and rural areas (62.3%), and underconsumption of macronutrients in both urban and rural adolescents.Conclusion: Most adolescents in urban and rural areas still consume less energy, carbohydrates, and protein. Perceived body image and nutrient intake contribute to the incidence of CED in adolescents.

This study aims to develop an augmented reality medium of traditional Sundanese food for nutrition education for teenagers. The media designed also consists of values of local wisdom education. The application is named AR Ma'Ugiz. The making of the application starts with story board design, 3D objects of traditional Sundanese food design using blender software and making videos about the making of the food. To make the videos, this paper uses Wondershare Filmora software. In an attempt of making AR Ma'Ugiz compatible to many platform, a Unity 3D is employed. The results of the research show that Augmented Reality designed to introduce traditional Sundanese food to teenagers is interesting and fun for them. In addition, the teenager students have more opportunities to explore the food in terms of the making procedure and nutrition information. Thus, the media used in nutrition education appear to have strengths in introducing values of local wisdom. In the meantime, local wisdom plays an important role in character education which, in this context, enables students to love their culture, including their traditional food.

Nutritional Status, Physical Activity, Sedentary Activity of School Children in Urban area, West Java, Indonesia

Anemia among adolescents in Indonesia has increased since 2007 until now, as well as worldwide. Anemia had affected their growth and development, along with cognitive abilities, making them susceptible to infectious diseases. Cognitive ability is closely related to the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of adolescents as internal factors. This study was an introductory study in the development of nutrition education based on local wisdom for adolescents with anemia as early prevention. A qualitative study was conducted in October 2020 in Cirebon District, West Java. The participants consisted of 10 people (eight stakeholders and two experts). Data were collected through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with instruments as a guide in collecting information data. Data were recorded with the subject's consent, transcribed word for word, and analyzed based on the listed theme by the researcher. Results from the survey stated that using digital development 4,0 learning models will be applied through blended learning and integrated into students' extracurricular activities, using a variety of learning methods and media according to adolescents' development. Thus, this study involved various government sectors to apply the nutrition education model in schools through government policies. Furthermore, it may become a preventive measure for adolescents with anemia.
