Abstract:
One of the health problems in Indonesia that is currently increasing is P TM (noncommunicable diseases). PTM is a disease that cannot be transmitted to other
people. This disease develops slowly and occurs over a long time. Noncommunicable diseases can cause obesity, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease,
cancer, etc. Many factors trigger PTM, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, minimal
physical activity, family health history, and can also occur due to unhealthy diet and
nutrition. This disease can be contracted by all groups and ages. This disease often
occurs among the elderly, but now the prevalence of non-communicable diseases is
increasing in the 10–14-year age group. Indonesia will also create superior human
resources by 2045. Providing balanced nutrition for children is one of the important
aspects in creating superior human resources so that children can become a superior
generation in the future. If PTM in children is not prevented, the government's
efforts to produce superior human resources in 2045 will be difficult to achieve.
Because of this problem, the author wants to provide insight into the importance of
balanced nutrition and prevent the occurrence of PTM in children.
