Great Moments with AIMI, breastfeeding-moms, and community

I've been interested in nutrition for childhood recently. These are pictures of great moments with Indonesian Breastfeeding-Moms Association (and my students :) ), with lactation counselors friends (WHO-UNICEF-SELASI), and the community. Later, i really wanna share things, facts, and all miscellanious about breastfeeding and stuffs
Support maternal and child nutrition for better generation... :)

My Mini Survey Note : Obesogenic Behavior (Part 2)

Hi Readers...
I've got good news (at least its good for me) : I'm done with the research and analyses, Yay!
So I'm gonna show you the result.

The result shows that there's no association between interrole conflict (work-family conflict) in working moms and their kid's obesogenic behaviors (behaviors which result to the increased risk of being obese/overweight). Some variables related to socioeconomic status are known to increase risk of having high obesogenic behavior level. Kids 1) with higher rate of family income and 2) Whose mother has professional or managerial position are at high risk to have high obesogenic behaviors level.
It's not really surprising, as many studies in Asian countries show that high level of family income will increase the likelihood to access supermarkets, animal-based foods, fast foods, etc. It can also reduce likelihood to be physically active because of vehicle or gadgets ownership (that may reduce energy expenditure). 

Well, from this findings, I strongly recommend to educate working mothers with high socioeconomic status to promote leptogenic (the inverse of the term 'obesogenic') behaviors to their children. Public health practitioner is one important part who can promote it (through health primary care parenting counseling/poster/participating in controlling the availibility of high calorie foods /promoting vigorous physical activity at schools).

:) 

My Mini Survey Note : Obesogenic Behaviour

So...this idea came from previous data (cant say which one), shown that working moms in urban area are most likely to stop breastfeed than those in rural area here in my country. So i self-assume that ones who live in urban area (with all their tough routines) also likely not to teach or not being a good role model of healthy life (leptogenic lifestyle) for their own kid(s). Yet, the citizen are begin to be exposed to rapid growth of fast food industry and industrialisation that makes them not to be physically active.

I've been working on my own mini survey (actually for my thesis stuff-data processing is still on progress) on obesogenic behaviours among Yogyakarta's school-aged children whose moms participate in workforce. So I invited school-age students whose moms are working, of 8 schools in Yogyakarta (both state and private ones) to participate in the study. I also sent questionnaires (moms' stress on work and family's and kids' obesogenic behaviour) to 285 parents and assess their kids anthropometrical nutritional status.

Anyway...some other research in different countries has shown varied results. That's why I just cant wait to see what would be the result of mine. Hope I can show you this later. I'll keep it for the next post.

Be Healthy! eat good stuff and move more :) see ya
