Abstract

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular disease are the leading causes of global mortality and contribute substantially to healthcare burdens. Major risk factors for NCDs are closely associated with dietary patterns characterized by high caloric intake, low fiber consumption, and insufficient bioactive compounds. Functional foods, defined as foods containing biologically active components such as dietary fiber, probiotics, polyphenols, plant sterols, and unsaturated fatty acids, are increasingly recognized for their potential role in reducing metabolic risk factors. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of functional foods in preventing NCDs through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Relevant articles were identified through searches in international scientific databases using keywords related to functional foods and cardiometabolic diseases, applying PICOS-based selection criteria and PRISMA guidelines. The synthesis of the literature indicates that functional food consumption is associated with improved glycemic control, reduced blood pressure, better weight management, and improved lipid profiles. These benefits are mediated through mechanisms including enhanced insulin sensitivity, modulation of gut microbiota, reduction of systemic inflammation, and decreased oxidative stress. However, their effectiveness is influenced by dietary patterns, demographic characteristics, and lifestyle factors. Overall, functional foods can serve as an important component of promotive and preventive strategies for NCD control when integrated into balanced diets and supported by evidence-based health education.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is an important intervention for improving infant health and protection, yet sustaining exclusive breastfeeding remains a challenge in many countries. Healthcare worker support plays an important role in helping mothers overcome breastfeeding difficulties, although the effectiveness of different support approaches varies across studies. This study aimed to analyze and synthesize empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of healthcare worker support in improving and sustaining exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. Literature was searched through Google Scholar using combinations of keywords related to healthcare workers, breastfeeding support, lactation counseling, breastfeeding education, and exclusive breastfeeding. Following identification, screening, and eligibility assessment, 16 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the synthesis. The findings indicated that healthcare worker support through education, counseling, breastfeeding technique assistance, home visits, community-based support, and digital media was generally associated with improved exclusive breastfeeding practices. Greater effectiveness was observed when support was structured, repeated, continuous, individualized, and responsive to mothers’ needs. Effectiveness was also influenced by healthcare worker competency, family support, available resources, and service conditions. Healthcare worker support is an important component in improving exclusive breastfeeding and should be provided continuously from pregnancy through the postpartum period.
