AbstractObjective:Food literacy (FL) is a crucial need encompassing basic literacy and fundamental movement skills. The present study aimed to investigate the FL level in pre-schoolers and to evaluate the effect of potential predictors and the associations with gross motor and emergent literacy skills.Design:Cross-sectional study conducted within the Training-to-Health Project.Setting:Kindergartens (n 21) in the Palermo City Council, Italy.Participants:Pre-school children aged 3–6 years (n 921) followed education sessions on nutritional topics, practical activities and compiled prearranged sheets. FL was assessed by the five-domain toolkit ‘preschool-FLAT’; gross motor and emergent literacy skills were assessed by the Italian version of the gross motor development test and the PRCR-2/2009, respectively. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to assess relationships between FL scores and gender, age, weight, height, BMI, gross motor and emergent literacy skills.Results:Independent predictors (β, se) of higher FL were female gender (1·06, 0·315, P < 0·01), older age (0·08, 0·019, P < 0·001) and greater height (0·13, 0·03, P < 0·001). The adjusted coefficients were significant for quotient of gross motor development and in particular for the locomotor component (0·03, 0·01, P < 0·01 and 0·16, 0·046, P < 0·001, respectively). Almost all associations with the emergent literacy skills were significant (β = −0·02 to 0·47).Conclusions:The study suggests that children raised in an environment where both cognitive and motor skills are enhanced can have better chances of increasing FL and success at school. Thus, the need for monitoring FL and its predictors since early age is highlighted.

Background: The relationship between mothers and their children’s lifestyle is still unclear, especially in disadvantaged areas. Consequently, the study aims to identify a path explaining the extent to which maternal eating habits and physical activity (PA) level predict food-related aspects, PA practice and Quotient of Gross Motor Development (QGMD) in preschoolers from disadvantaged urban areas. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 79 dyads of mothers and children were recruited from kindergartens. Information related to family socio-demographic aspects, mothers’ and children’s dietary intake frequencies and PA/sedentariness, mothers’ weight and height, mothers’ perception on children’s food intake, and children’s food literacy (FL) was collected with a questionnaire and the Food Literacy Assessment Tool (preschool-FLAT), while gross-motor skills were measured with the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD); weight and height of children were directly collected. Results: Associations were found between mothers’ and children’s food habits; mothers’ and children’s fruit/vegetables consumption, and intake of the other items; mothers’ education or PA level and children’s FL; mothers’ PA or sedentariness and children’s QGMD; mothers’ BMI and food habits and children’s BMI; education and food habits. Conclusions: These findings can be useful to plan effective interventions targeted both to preschoolers and their mothers of disadvantaged urban areas for promoting healthy lifestyles, which have become increasingly difficult to achieve during COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study sought to evaluate motor development in infants exposed to ZIKV born with normal head circumference (HC). Thirty one children, distributed into two groups, participated in the study: 15 whose mothers were infected by ZIKV during pregnancy, born with HC from −1.9 to +2 Z-scores, adjusted for sex and gestational age (exposed group); and 16 randomly selected infants without known prenatal exposure to ZIKV, paired by sex and age (control group). Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used to evaluate gross motor development. We found no significant difference between the exposed and control groups. However, considering that AIMS is a screening test that assesses only the gross motor development and the small size of our sample, infants exposed to ZIKV during pregnancy should be continuously evaluated for different aspects of their development.

AbstractThis descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional study aimed at the relationship between motor development and the nutritional status of schoolchildren aged eight to ten years from the city of Novo Hamburgo. One hundred forty-five students (80 boys and 65 girls) participated in the study, duly enrolled in the municipal school system, and belonged to different schools and regions of the same municipality. The study instruments used were Ulrich's Test of Gross Motor Development - Second Edition (TGMD-2) (2001), the Ministry of Health's food frequency questionnaire, and anthropometric assessments of weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). For data analysis, mean, dispersion measure, frequency and percentage were used. To compare the data, Student's t test was used with tabulation of primary data in the program SPSS 26.0. The results showed that there was no relationship between the nutritional status and motor development of those investigated. However, it was observed that there is a statistically significant difference regarding the time that students spend watching television. Thus, it is understood that the nutritional status is related to the prolonged use of screens, which leads to overweight and obesity and keeps students away from physical activities. Keywords: Motor Skills. Nutritional Status. Child. ResumoO presente estudo descritivo, de caráter quantitativo e transversal, buscou a relação entre o desenvolvimento motor e o estado nutricional de escolares de oito a dez anos de idade, da cidade de Novo Hamburgo. Participaram do estudo 145 escolares (80 meninos e 65 meninas) matriculados na Rede Municipal de ensino que pertenciam a diferentes escolas e regiões do mesmo município. Como instrumentos de estudo foram utilizados o Test of Gross Motor Development – Second Edition (TGMD-2) de Ulrich (2001), o questionário de frequência alimentar do Ministério da Saúde e avaliações antropométricas de peso, estatura e o índice de massa corporal (IMC). Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se média, medida de dispersão, frequência e percentual. Para a comparação dos dados utilizou-se o teste estatístico t de Student com tabulação dos dados primários no programa SPSS 26.0. Os resultados apontaram que não houve relação entre o estado nutricional e o desenvolvimento motor dos investigados. Entretanto, observou-se que há diferença estatística significativa quanto ao tempo em que os escolares permanecem assistindo televisão. Desse modo, entende-se que o estado nutricional pode estar relacionado ao uso prolongado de tela, o que conduz ao sobrepeso e obesidade e afasta os escolares de atividades físicas.

ABSTRACT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING ON INFANT GROSS MOTOR DEVELOPMENT  Background: The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia has not reached the expected rate, which is around 80%. Exclusive breastfeeding is very important for the baby's growth and development. Babies who are exclusively breastfed and with good nutritional status have normal gross motor development. Breastfeeding exclusively supports the baby's growth, improves brain cell development, language development, and motor development of the baby because breast milk contains various nutrients that can promote growth and brain development. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of exclusive breastfeeding on infant gross motor development in Syamtalira Aron, Aceh Utara.Methods: This study used a comparative design with a cross sectional approach. The number of research respondents was 92 respondents, with a total sampling technique. Exclusive breastfeeding data and gross motor development were collected using a Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire (KPSP).Results: In this study, it is known that the frequency distribution of exclusive breastfeeding was 37 people (37.5%), and 55 people (62.5%) were not exclusively breastfed. The data analysis used the Mann Whitney U. The results of the bivariable study showed that the exclusive breastfeeding group had a minimum value of 7 and a maximum value of 10. While the non-ASI group had a median score of 7 with a minimum value of 6 and a maximum of 10, the average rating of the exclusive breastfeeding group was 66.50 higher than the non-ASI group with a value of 33.05 and a p-value of 0,000.Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding is better than non-exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months for infant development.Suggestion: it is hoped that further researchers can research using a qualitative approach so that they can find out more deeply and get accurate information about exclusive breastfeeding and it is hoped that mothers who have babies can exclusively breastfeed for six months. Key words: Exclusive breastfeeding; Gross motor development of infants ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Cakupan ASI eksklusif di Indonesia belum mencapai angka yang diharapkan, yaitu sekitar 80%. ASI eksklusif sangat penting untuk tumbuh kembang bayi. Bayi yang mendapat ASI eksklusif dan berstatus gizi baik mempunyai perkembangan motorik kasar normal. Pemberian ASI secara eksklusif mendukung pertumbuhan bayi, meningkatkan perkembangan sel otak, perkembangan bahasa, dan perkembangan motorik bayi karena ASI mengandung berbagai nutrien yang dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan otak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektifitas Asi Eksklusif pada perkembangan motorik kasar bayi di Syamtalira Aron, Aceh Utara.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan design komparatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah responden penelitian yaitu 92 responden, dengan teknik pengambilan sampel total sampling. Data ASI Eksklusif dan perkembangan motorik kasar diambil dengan menggunakan kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP).Hasil: Pada penelitian ini diketahui distribusi frekuensi pemberian ASI Eksklusif sebanyak 37 orang (37,5%), dan tidak ASI eksklusif sebanyak 55 orang (62,5%). Analisis data menggunakan Mann Whitney U. Hasil penelitian bivariabel menunjukkan median kelompok ASI Eksklusif 9 dengan nilai minimal 7 dan nilai maksimal 10. Sedangkan kelompok Tidak ASI nilai median 7 dengan nilai minimal 6 dan maksimal 10, rata-rata peringkat kelompok ASI Eksklusif 66,50 lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kelompok Tidak ASI dengan nilai 33,05 serta nilai pvalue 0,000.Kesimpulan: Pemberian ASI Eksklusif lebih baik dari pada yang tidak diberi ASI eksklusif pada bayi usia 0-6 bulan untuk perkembangan bayi.Saran : diharapkan bagi peneliti selanjutnya dapat meneliti dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif sehingga dapat menggali lebih dalam dan didapatkan informasi yang lebih akurat mengenai Asi Eksklusif dan diharapkan bagi ibu yang memiliki bayi agar dapat memberikan ASI secara eksklusif selama enam bulan. Kata kunci: ASI Eksklusif; Perkembangan motorik kasar bayi

The Relationship

Motor development is a development that controls body movements by involving coordination between the nervous system, central nerve and muscle. Activities related to gross motor development involve a mechanism that requires adequate energy and physical, so that nutritional status is one of the factors that influence gross motor development. TB / U is the most widely used index to determine nutritional status which is measured anthropometically related to gross motor development. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status (TB / U) and gross motoric development of children. Observational type with cross sectional approach design The number of samples in this study were 92 children taken by random sampling. Nutritional status data were obtained by anthropometric measurements (TB / U) and categorized based on WHO Anthro 2005. Gross motor development data obtained using DDST were then categorized based on DDST assessment. In this study 40.2% short samples and 59% normal samples were found, 26.1% of samples had late gross motor development and 73.9% of samples were not late. The results of statistical tests showed a significant relationship between TB / U and gross motor development (p> 0.05). It is best to do therapy for children who experience gross motor development late to get developmental stimulation.

Many studies have established a relationship between visual function and motor development in toddlers. This is the first report to study two-year-olds via an assessment of their visual and motor skills. The purpose of this study is to describe the possible changes that can occur between visual and motor systems in typical developing toddlers. A total of 116 toddlers were included in this observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. Their mean age was 29.57 ± 3.45 months. Motor development variables studied were dominant hand/foot; stationary, locomotion, object manipulation, grasping, visual motor integration percentiles; gross motor, fine motor, and total motor percentiles; and gross motor, fine motor, and total motor quotients. Visual development variables were assessed including visual acuity, refractive error, ocular alignment, motor fusion and suppression, ocular motility, and stereopsis. Our findings demonstrated that typical developing toddlers with slow gross motor development had higher exophoria and further near point of convergence values compared to toddlers with fast gross motor development (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in visual acuity and stereopsis between slow and fast gross motor development toddlers.

Children start to gain basic literacy skills during preschool that they will constantly be depended on for their academic activities in primary school. Through learning shoulder girdle strength, fine motor skills, and eye-hand coordination, the foundation of motor skills is developed. Examining the effects of motor skills on emergent literacy skills could provide helpful information on the associations among motor and, reading and writing development. The purpose of this study was to analyze 5 years old children’s motor development and emergent literacy skills. The sample of the study consisted of 160 preschool children from main district of Istanbul. Dumans TMB scale and OYHB scale was used for data collection purposes. Results showed that majority of the preschool children (68%) participated in the study had insufficient level of emergent literacy skills. This group’s motor development score was also significantly lower than instructional group. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive and medium level correlation between the scores of motor development and emergent literacy in both groups. It has been suggested that preschool children’s motor skills should be taken into account for their emergent literacy skills development.
