Abstract

Introduction: After completion of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) treatment, some people may continue to experience respiratory issues that can progress into post-TB lung disease (PTLD). Individuals with PTLD exhibit suboptimal nutritional status. The loss of appetite is a significant factor influencing nutritional status. Zinc plays a role in hunger control.  Lack of zinc reduces taste sensitivity and food intake. This study examined the relationship between zinc intake and appetite in patients with PTLD at Persahabatan National Respiratory Referral Hospital, Jakarta. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Persahabatan National Respiratory Referral Hospital, Jakarta, from November 2024 to March 2025. Eighty-five adult patients with PTLD were included. Zinc intake was assessed by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and analyzed by NutriSurvey software. Appetite was measured using the visual analog scale (VAS) for appetite. Results: A total of 85 subjects participated in the study, comprising 78.8% males and 21.2% females. The average daily zinc intake was 4.4 mg/day, and 92.9% of the subjects had zinc intake below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). The average VAS appetite score was 70 mm. A significant positive correlation was found between zinc intake and appetite, indicating that a decrease in zinc intake might result in a reduced appetite (r=0.266, p=0.014). Conclusion: Zinc intake is positively associated with appetite in patients with PTLD. Therefore, zinc intake monitoring is essential for supporting nutritional recovery and lung function in PTLD.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease that needs to be controlled through the implementation of a healthy lifestyle and regular health screening. Limited public knowledge regarding risk factors, dietary patterns, genetic factors, and preventive measures for hypercholesterolemia highlights the need for community-based health education. This community service activity aimed to provide education on hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease prevention to members of Nahdlatul Wathan Diniyah Islamiyah (NWDI) Muslimat in West Nusa Tenggara Province. The activity was conducted on February 22, 2026, at the North Lombok Regent’s Hall and involved 62 female participants aged 19–70 years. The activities employed interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Evaluation was conducted observationally by assessing participant participation, engagement in discussions, and responses to the educational materials. The results showed that participants attended the activity from beginning to end, actively asked questions and shared experiences, and provided positive responses to the materials presented. Participants’ questions mainly concerned dietary patterns, foods that should be limited or recommended, genetic factors, and the recommended frequency of cholesterol screening. Participants also considered the materials easy to understand, relevant, and useful for application in daily life. These findings indicate that community-based health education can serve as a relevant promotive approach for disseminating information on hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease prevention. Further evaluation using quantitative instruments is needed to objectively measure changes in participants’ knowledge and health-related behaviors.
