Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic continues to have significant impacts in various sectors of society worldwide, including Indonesia. One major impact of COVID-19 occurs in the health information sector especially with social distancing regulations that inhibit people to access health care providers. This has led to several other problems such as behavior alteration involving unhealthy lifestyles and misleading information. Due to the limitations of social interaction, health care providers have proposed various methods to provide health promotions related to COVID-19 and wellness education that are accessible by the whole society with or without Internet access. This study aimed to review the current strategies of health information systems to increase knowledge about COVID-19 and overall wellness by the implementation of Internet-based programs. This review is based on a secondary study conducted with online search engines. Some previous studies showed that online training has improved knowledge significantly. Other research also described how the success of a community education program depends on adequate motivation and access to proper information. Three main factors that cause the failure of community education are lack of self-efficacy, lack of information, and distraction without proper supervision. Lack of information is due to the difficulty to gain Internet access in some areas and for some populations. In conclusion, Internet-based approaches can be implemented for health promotion programs related to COVID-19 and wellness due to the massive growth of Internet use in Indonesia.

Abstract

The 2017 Global Nutrition Report states that 2 billion adults and 41 million children worldwide are overweight or obese. Based on Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments using Z-scores, it was found that out of 168 students at SMAN 2 Padalarang, 21 students (12.5%) had abnormal BMI values. One proposed solution is nutrition education through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and learning videos to increase students' knowledge about obesity prevention and balanced nutrition. This program aims to determine whether there is a significant difference between the pre- and post-intervention scores for each method. The implementation of this activity involved FGDs and learning videos, with 248 students from grades 10, 11, and 12 at SMAN 2 Padalarang participating. A total of 124 students received counseling through the FGD method, while the other 124 students participated through the learning video method. This program was conducted on August 21-22, 2024. The analysis showed that both intervention methods, video and FGD, had a significant impact (p-value 0.000 for both interventions) on the change in scores from pre-test to post-test. In conclusion, in this program, the FGD method showed a greater effect (1.12) than the learning video (0.99).

Abstract

Dietary habits in Asia, including Indonesia, are shaped by culture, tradition, and the ongoing influence of modernization. Modernization has led to a shift from traditional diets toward the consumption of processed foods high in calories, fats, and sugars, increasing the risk of degenerative diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. These dietary changes also affect nutritional status and can influence gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms and genetic variation among individuals. This  tudy aims to examine dietary patterns in Asian populations and their implications for nutritional status and health through the lens of epigenetics, nutrigenomics, and nutrigenetics. This study employed a narrative literature review using a qualitative-descriptive approach. Scientific articles were gathered through Google Scholar in October 2024 using a combination of English and Indonesian keywords such as “eating habits in Asia”, “Asian dietary pattern”, “Indonesian food culture”, “epigenetics and nutrition”, “nutrigenomics in Asia”, and “nutrigenetics population”. The process involved four systematic steps: article identification, selection based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, data extraction, and thematic analysis based on geographic regions. The results show that culture and modernization significantly influence dietary patterns in Asia. Additionally, bioactive compounds found in traditional Asian foods have the potential to modulate gene expression, and genetic variations among populations may lead to different responses to the same dietary intake. This review highlights the importance of culturally tailored nutrition education and the need for population-based nutrigenetic research.

Abstract

Defisiensi yodium masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang mendesak di Indonesia. Meski mayoritas rumah tangga mengonsumsi garam beryodium, hanya sebagian kecil yang sesuai kadar standar nasional. Kondisi ini menunjukkan lemahnya sistem pengawasan mutu dan rendahnya literasi masyarakat terhadap pentingnya konsumsi garam beryodium. Dampak utamanya terlihat pada ibu hamil dan anak-anak, yang berisiko mengalami gangguan perkembangan kognitif, stunting, hingga kerusakan otak permanen. Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini, pemerintah perlu memperkuat regulasi fortifikasi garam, meningkatkan pengawasan mutu oleh BPOM, memperluas edukasi publik melalui pendekatan komunitas dan digital, serta mewajibkan fortifikasi untuk seluruh jenis garam, termasuk garam industri. Langkah ini penting untuk menjamin generasi mendatang tumbuh sehat, cerdas, dan produktif.

Abstract

Background: Liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cirrhosis are influenced by factors like viral infections, alcohol, immune dysfunction, genetic predisposition, and metabolic factors. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—are vital for protein metabolism and liver function. The role of BCAAs in liver disease and metabolic changes requires further study.Objectives:  To evaluate the role of BCAAs in nutritional status and metabolic changes in liver disease through a systematic review.Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. Literature was searched on Google Scholar for publications from 2019 to 2024. Studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis summarized the findings, and statistical tests evaluated the relationship between BCAA consumption or supplementation and liver disease progression.Results: Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. High BCAA consumption was associated with an increased risk of NAFLD (OR = 1,32, p < 0,001). In contrast, BCAA supplementation improved MELD and CP scores in cirrhotic patients. Elevated BCAA levels were also linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (OR = 1,60, 95% CI = 1,14-2,23, p = 0,006).Conclusions: BCAA supplementation may help slow cirrhosis progression and improve sarcopenia and liver function. However, its use should be tailored to avoid adverse effects. More research is needed to explore long-term effects on liver disease.

Abstract

Lifestyle decisions, human behavior, and knowledge of dietary selections contribute to degenerative diseases. Indonesia has difficulty with nutrition literacy; this nutrition education needs to be more thorough. One way to do this is to use internet media, like webinars, to teach in a non-linear way. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the “SIPEDE” webinar on participants’ comprehension of nutritional intervention techniques in the management of degenerative disease. A pre-experimental survey of 729 participants was administered prior to and after the intervention. We used pre-test and post-test questionnaires to collect data. These surveys asked about knowledge of degenerative disease, risk factors, and nutritional intervention options. A paired t-test was used to look at scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a knowledge score enhancement of roughly 23,32% in the post-test, rising from 65,71 in the pre-test to 82,01 in the post-test (p<0,05). In other words, the webinar helped people learn more about nutrition and degenerative diseases, which makes it a good way to teach people about nutrition that can be used by many people in the community.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Nutritional Status is one of the predictors of human energy balance. Adequate dietary intake plays an important role in providing human body with proper needs of nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and fats which are converted into energy. The body's ability to produce adequate energy may be tied to the level of fitness it maintains, particularly in support of bodily functions, physical activity, and overall well-being. To find the correlation between dietary intake and fitness level, The team of coaches, doctor, nutritionist, physiotherapist, and medical record professional try to find the connection between nutrition intake of young adults of Marching band team’s and their physical fitness using Copper Fitness test. This study includes all 41 young adults of Marching Band’s team. The interview of nutrition intake was taken using an online food frequency questionnaire, meanwhile the Copper fitness test was taken directly under supervision of their fitness coaches at Yogyakarta. The result of Spearman Rank Correlation test between Body Mass Index (BMI) with Cooper fitness test result has negative correlation (r= -0.265, p=0.047), total dietary protein intake has positive correlation and statistically significant with Cooper fitness test result (r =0.287 and p= 0.034). On the other hand, other dietary intake such as total energy consumption, carbohydrates, fats and hydration have positive correlation with Copper Fitness test result (r=0.238, p=0.067, r=0.038, p=0.406; r= 0.065, p=0.344; r= 0.062, p=0.350). Considering these findings, it is essential for the marching band team to maintain their BMI and their dietary intake especially protein to maintain their muscle health to have an excellent fitness condition of their fitness level. However, the correlation might relatively weak means, it has another factor may also contribute to individual’s performance on the Cooper fitness test.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has serious implications for the quality of human resources in Indonesia. One potential solution is the development of affordable local food innovations based on animal protein sources, such as catfish (Clarias batrachus), which has high nutritional value and can be processed into functional food products, including extracts and shredded fish (abon). This study aimed to analyze the nutritional composition, antioxidant activity, microbiological and heavy metal safety, as well as the organoleptic acceptance of shredded catfish products based on catfish extract among mothers of under-five children. The study was conducted at the Central Laboratory of Universitas Padjadjaran and the “Bina Harapan X” Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) in Cipeundeuy Village, West Bandung. Proximate analysis was performed on both catfish extract and shredded catfish products. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH method, while safety evaluations included Escherichia coli (CFU/mL) analysis and determination of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) levels using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Organoleptic testing was carried out with 31 mother panelists who had under-five children, using a 5-point hedonic scale. The catfish extract contained 4.97% moisture, 8.91% ash, 29.87% fat, 48.85% protein, and 7.40% carbohydrates, with a total polyphenol content of 0.12% and an IC₅₀ value of 4.9724%. The shredded catfish product contained 3.32% moisture, 6.55% ash, 30.45% fat, 38.33% protein, and 21.36% carbohydrates. Safety analysis showed E. coli levels of 0 CFU/mL (safe for consumption), Pb levels of 0.3999 mg/kg, and Cd levels of 0.0312 mg/kg. Organoleptic scores for color (3.87), texture (3.97), and aroma (4.00) indicated an overall acceptance level of “liked”. Shredded catfish products based on catfish extract have high nutritional value, are safe for consumption, and are well accepted by mothers of under-five children. This product has strong potential as a local fish-based functional food to support stunting prevention efforts in the community
