Malnutrition is a decisive factor that could detain individual and societal advancements. It may not only reduce individual well-being, but at macro level, could also be a burden for the national health expenditure and the labour productivity. Aside from the economic context, the sociocultural settings a person lives in may influence his/her nutritional status and their significant others. In this case, sociocultural factors operate "invisibly" by influencing people's beliefs, attitudes, and behaviour toward food and other health inputs. Unlike the extensive efforts that many have put to understand the linkage between economic factors and nutrition, fewer works have been done to reveal the role and mechanisms by which sociocultural factors may affect child nutritional status.Chapter 1 described the main research objective of this thesis, that is "to examine how sociocultural factors (e.g., gender, religion, and ethnicity) may influence nutritional status in childhood and adolescence (0-19 years of age)". Indonesia, the world's fourth largest country in terms of population, is strategically selected for the study site. In response to the main research objective, empirical Chapters 2-5 were then produced. Each chapter studied a specific theme, covering the influence of women's empowerment (e.g., mother's education, mother's bargaining power, and mother's working status) on adolescent nutritional status (10-19 years of age) in Chapter 2, the role of mother's education in sibling inequalities (e.g., by gender, birth order, and the number of siblings) in child overweight (0-19 years of age) in Chapter 3, and the effects of maternal Ramadan fasting on the nutritional status of Muslims during childhood and adolescence (0-19 years of age) in Chapter 4, and finally, the influence of ethnicity on dietary diversity-one measure of dietary intake-of school-aged children (7-12 years of age) by gender and household socioeconomic status (SES) in Chapter 5.Chapter 2 found a positive association between mother's education and adolescent height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ). Regarding mother's working status, the chapter showed that adolescents of blue-collar mothers were shorter compared to adolescents of mothers that were housewives. Most likely, the shorter stature was related to the lower food provision and supervision that mother could deliver, considering the long and typically less flexible working hours of blue-collar jobs. There was no influence of mother's bargaining power on adolescent nutritional status. Gender inequality emerged as boys had on average a lower BMI (body mass index) for-age Z-scores (BAZ) than girls. Mother's education compensated for boys' lack in body mass. However, an unhealthy compensating mechanism was likely at work because boys' consumption of high-calorie foods increased along with more years of mother's education.Chapter 3 found that the eldest, the youngest, and children from smaller families were more likely to be overweight. The chapter showed that the risk of being overweight increased with more years of mother's education, especially for boys and eldest children. Further analyses showed that sons of educated mothers consumed more often high-calorie foods than did their daughters. This gender gap in consumption of high-calorie foods became greater from late childhood onwards (5-19 years of age). Referring to the Global Nutrition Transition, the chapter suggested that the openness to new diets and nutrition innovations of Indonesian educated mothers might take its form in introducing high-calorie foods rather than promoting a healthy diet and an active lifestyle to their children.
