Stunting is defined by height of more than two standard deviations below the World Health Organization's (WHO) child growth standard median. It is a significant nutritional problem in developing countries, where in 2021, Indonesia recorded a stunting prevalence at 24.4%, slightly higher than the global prevalence (22%). Reducing the prevalence of stunting has been the focus of the current administration in the Indonesian government, as delineated in the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan. Globally, many studies have addressed parental stature as a risk factor of stunting. However, systematic reviews that summarized and critically appraised the relationship between parental stature and the incidence of stunting in Indonesia was scarce. This systematic review aimed to assess parental stature as a risk factor for stunting among Indonesian toddlers. Studies were searched through PubMed (MEDLINE), Google Scholar and Mendeley. Studies on Indonesian toddlers under five years old living in Indonesia were included. The quality of the included studies was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool. Data were extracted using a standardized data extraction form and were analyzed using Cochrane's RevMan 5.3. Twenty-seven prospective and retrospective cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies were included with a total 4041 children. Out of 27 included studies, eight were found to be of low, seven of moderate and twelve of high quality. The result showed that parental stature was associated with the incidence of stunting among toddlers in Indonesia, either the mother only (odds ratio (OR) 1.92; 95% confidence interval (95%CI: 1.71-2.15), the father only (OR 5.21; 95%CI: 1.71-15.86) or both parents (OR 3.01; 95%CI: 2.41-3.75). However, studies on father and both parental statures suffered from substantial heterogeneity, imprecision and mixed qualities, therefore, they should be cautiously interpreted.

Regional and urban‒rural differences in childhood growth trajectories and the role of family in China.

Children in urban and eastern regions tend to be taller and have higher body mass index (BMI) compared to those in rural and central-western regions, partially due to better family resources. We examined urban‒rural areas, regional differences in growth trajectories, focusing on family influences. Longitudinal data on 8542 children from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1991-2015) were used.

Background: Muscle architecture is closely related to muscle function. Increased knowledge of growth changes in muscle architecture will provide insights into the development of human movements and sports performance during the growth period. However, it is unclear how the muscle architecture of the medial gastrocnemius (MG) grows.

The ARCN1 gene encodes the delta subunit of the coatomer protein complex I (COPI), which is essential for mediating protein transport from the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum. Variants in ARCN1 are associated with clinical features such as microcephaly, microretrognathia, intrauterine growth restriction, short rhizomelic stature, and developmental delays. We present a case of a patient exhibiting intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth, microcephaly, micrognathia, and central precocious puberty.

Background: Binge eating, a type of disordered eating, is relatively common among youth and predisposes them to many adverse health outcomes. Diverse psychological and social factors may be associated with binge eating. The aim of this study was to examine child and parental psychosocial determinants of binge eating and its impact on indicators of obesity.
