Abstract

Introduction: Anemia remains a pervasive global public health issue, particularly among women of reproductive age. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia in young women is exacerbated by dietary habits that inhibit iron absorption. This study aims to determine the association between coffee consumption patterns and hemoglobin levels among female medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra (UMSU). Method: An analytical observational study utilizing a cross-sectional design was conducted with 84 female students selected via consecutive sampling. Coffee consumption patterns were assessed using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), categorized into infrequent (3x/week) and frequent (≥3x/week) intake. Hemoglobin levels were measured quantitatively. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test to compare median hemoglobin levels between the two groups. Results: The cohort was dominated by 20-year-old students (34.5%). A significant majority exhibited frequent coffee consumption patterns (86.9%, n=72) compared to infrequent consumers (13.1%, n=12). The median hemoglobin level across the sample was 11.35 g/dL. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in hemoglobin levels between the frequent and infrequent coffee consumption groups (p 0.01). Conclusion: There is a statistically significant association between high-frequency coffee consumption and lower hemoglobin levels among female medical students. These findings highlight the need for nutritional education regarding the timing of caffeine intake to mitigate the risk of anemia

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is an increasingly pressing health problem in various parts of the world, with a sharp increase in prevalence in both developed and developing countries. The risk of comorbidity is mainly associated with central obesity, which can be measured by Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference. Simple carbohydrates, with a high glycemic index, are one of the factors that contribute to the accumulation of visceral fat, which can increase the risk of comorbidity. This study aims to explore the relationship between simple carbohydrate intake and increased risk of comorbidity in urban adults. Method: The research method used is descriptive analytical with a cross- sectional study design. Results: Based on the chi square statistical test results table, it was found that the higher the frequency of simple carbohydrate consumption, the higher the risk of comorbidity. So, the value with p = 0.01 (p0.05). Discussion: There is a relationship between simple carbohydrate intake and an increased risk of comorbidities in urban adults. Further research is needed to balance the respondents and is expected to provide sufficient information as well as identifying the types of simple carbohydrates studied regarding the nutritional adequacy rate of simple carbohydrates.
