Introduction

Research on population health in Indonesia requires consideration of demographic, socioeconomic, nutritional, geographic, and health-system factors. Rachmalina’s documented scholarly contributions address several of these dimensions through observational and population-oriented studies. Her work on child undernutrition, for example, considers variation across Indonesia’s districts, while other studies examine dietary practices among young children and factors associated with access to health care. [1] [2] [4] [6]

The available publication record also demonstrates collaborative research across related areas of medicine and public health. Her authorship on studies concerning child malnutrition, alcohol consumption, hemoglobin levels, and pregnancy complications illustrates an emphasis on identifying measurable health risks and disparities within the Indonesian population. [2] [3] [5] [6]

Research Profile

Rachmalina is associated with the National Research and Innovation Agency in Indonesia and is identified within the medicine subject area. The supplied bibliometric profile reports 12 indexed documents, 148 citations, and an h-index of 7 under Scopus Author ID 57202159129. These indicators provide a quantitative description of the indexed publication record, while the individual publications provide additional context concerning the themes and populations addressed by the research. [1]

  • Primary field: Medicine and public health.
  • Geographic focus: Indonesia and Indonesian population health.
  • Research themes: child nutrition, malnutrition, health disparities, maternal health, health-care access, dietary practices, alcohol consumption, and population health.
  • Reported Scopus documents: 12.
  • Reported citations: 148.
  • Reported h-index: 7.

Research Contributions

A significant component of Rachmalina’s publication record concerns nutritional health among Indonesian children. The 2025 article Factors for minimum acceptable diet practice among 6–23-month-old children in rural and urban areas of Indonesia investigates factors associated with minimum acceptable diet practices among young children across rural and urban settings. The study was published in the Korean Journal of Family Medicine and includes Rachmalina among its contributors. [1]

Her work also includes research on child malnutrition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Published in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition in 2022, the article addresses the implications of the pandemic for child nutritional conditions in Indonesia and contributes to the broader evidence base concerning vulnerable pediatric populations during periods of health-system disruption. [2]

[1] Beyond these numerical measures, the subject matter of the publications is relevant to public-health questions with direct implications for population-level health assessment. Research addressing child undernutrition across 514 districts, for example, contributes evidence concerning spatial and socioeconomic differences that may be relevant to nutritional planning and resource allocation. [4]

The range of topics represented in the cited publications also indicates interdisciplinary engagement. Nutritional epidemiology, maternal health, health-care accessibility, behavioral risk factors, and population-level biochemical characteristics appear within the documented record. [1] [3] [5] [6]
