Abstract

Highlights: • Medium- and high-risk STRONGkids scores are related with low total lymphocyte count and serum albumin, which are related to hospital malnutrition, albeit indirectly. • The use of STRONGkids with total lymphocyte count and serum albumin can detect the risk of hospital malnutrition in children. Abstract: Hospital malnutrition occurs in hospitalized patients who do not consume enough food while their nutritional requirements increase. It occurs particularly in children who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery. Despite the lack of a universal instrument for detecting hospital malnutrition, various parameters can be considered to assist in its identification. STRONGkids has demonstrated its efficiency in detecting malnutrition risk in children. Total lymphocyte count (TLC) and serum albumin are biochemical markers that are related to infection and protein leakage, which can worsen hospital malnutrition. The research objective was to analyze the correlation between STRONGkids and biochemical markers (TLC, serum albumin) to identify hospital malnutrition in children who underwent gastrointestinal surgery. This was a retrospective cross-sectional observational study utilizing medical records. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 21. This study included 37 subjects, with a 24.32% hospital malnutrition incidence rate. The subjects were divided into two groups: hospital malnutrition (n=9) and non-hospital malnutrition (n=28). The STRONGkids of both groups at admission demonstrated a significant difference, while the albumin and TLC did not. The significantly different STRONGkids scores of both groups at admission correlated negatively with the length of hospital stay (LOS), body weight reduction, TLC, and albumin. Those parameters also did not correlate with hospital malnutrition. However, hospital malnutrition increased the risk of low albumin and TLC at discharge by 2.951 and 5.549 times, respectively. In conlusion, TLC and serum albumin cannot be used as independent markers for hospital malnutrition, but STRONGkids can be used in conjunction with TLC and serum albumin to identify hospital malnutrition risk.

Abstract

After approximately 6 months of age, term breastfed infants are increasingly depend on other sources of iron to avoid iron deficiency anemia, due to the depletion of the low concentration of iron in human milk. The appropriate complementary feeding must include a balance composition of foods containing an adequate amount of macro- and micronutrients to avoid iron deficiency anemia. This study aimed to compare the risk of iron deficiency and growth in breastfeed infants receiving commercial fortified complementary foods or home-made. A cross-sectional study was held on April-June 2016 to evaluate infants aged 6-24 months with breast feeding intake for 6 month of life. Complementary feeding practices were determined by questionnaire; an unquantified food frequency and feeding practices questionnaire was used to determine usual food intake. Biochemical assessment of haemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF) and serum iron (SI) level were measured. Anthropometric were assessed using WHO Child Growth Standard 2005. Statistical analysis used were Chi-square Test. Thirty eight infants were enrolled, mean age of 16.2 (SD 10.5) months. 17 infants consumed commercial complementary foods and 21 infants use home-made. Infants with home-made had lower Hb level, SF and SI than those receiving commercial complementary food, and had higher risk of underweight, stunted and wasted. Infants with home-made complementary food had lower haemoglobin, serum feritin and serum iron levels than those in fortified complementary food CF; and a higher risk of stunted and wasted than children with commercial fortified CF.

Abstract

This study examined the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and visceral fat with the risk of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) among obese adolescents in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, Indonesia. The research addressed the increasing burden of cardiometabolic disorders in adolescents, focusing on the importance of early screening for central adiposity. A cross- sectional design was employed involving 72 obese adolescents from junior and senior high schools. BMI was measured using standard anthropometry, while visceral fat was assessed through Waist Circumference (WC)and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). MetS was identified based on established clinical criteria. The findings revealed that both BMI and visceral fat were significantly associated with MetS, with BIA-derived visceral fat demonstrating the strongest predictive value. Adolescents with high visceral fat exhibited substantially higher risks of dyslipidemia, hypertension, and overall metabolic abnormalities. These results highlight the limitations of BMI as a standalone indicator and reinforce the need for integrating visceral fat assessment in school-based screening programs. Early identification and targeted interventions are essential to mitigate the progression of MetS during adolescence.

Abstract

Background: Globally, stunting affected approximately 148 million children under five in 2022. Chronic infection contributes to stunting through immune hyperactivation and excessive cytokine release. Since anthropometric assessments are prone to errors and may not accurately reflect the underlying inflammatory status, common systemic inflammatory markers, such as the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Monocyte-Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR), and Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), can serve as alternatives. These markers are simple, affordable, and accessible in every health center.Objective: To analyze the correlation of NLR, MLR, and PLR with stunting.Methods: A cross-sectional study involving pediatric patients aged 1-5 years from the Nutrition and Metabolic Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo Regional Hospital in Surabaya from 2022 to 2023. Forty-one samples met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on NLR, PLR, MLR, and other hematological variables were obtained from the patients' hematology profiles. Group differences, correlations, and diagnostic performance were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis, Spearman, and ROC methods, respectively.Results: Forty-one subjects were obtained and divided into three groups: 21 (51.2%) normal, 10 (24.4%) stunted, and 10 (24.4%) severely stunted. RBC and lymphocytes significantly increased in normal patients, whereas neutrophils, platelets, NLR, MLR, and PLR significantly increased in severely stunted patients. NLR, MLR, and PLR differed significantly between normal and stunted children (p =<0.001; p =0.002; and p =<0.001, respectively) and showed positive correlations between the NLR (p =<0.001; r =0.687), MLR (p =<0.001; r =0.558), and PLR (p =<0.001; r =0.784) with stunting. At cutoff values of 0.844 (NLR), 88.527 (PLR), and 0.174 (MLR), their AUCs were 0.90, 0.95, and 0.82, with sensitivities of 75%, 80%, and 60%, respectively.Conclusion: NLR, MLR, and PLR significantly differ among normal, stunted, and severely stunted children, showing positive associations with stunting. These markers, particularly PLR, may serve as a practical screening tool, warranting further validation through larger studies.

Abstract

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is considered the common underlying cause of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Predicting the incidence of MetS and IR at the individual level is essential, especially in obese adolescents who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). InsuTAG has shown reliable results in predicting IR and MetS in healthy elderly populations. This study aimed to investigate the use of InsuTAG as an assessment tool to predict IR and MetS in obese adolescents, using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) to quantify insulin resistance. Methods:  A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted from January to May 2020 in healthy obese adolescents aged 13-18 years-old. Blood analyses included lipid profile (LDL-c, HDL-c, total cholesterol, and triglycerides), fasting blood glucose, and fasting insulin. IR was defined as HOMA-IR > 5.22 for boys and > 3.82 for girls during the pubertal period. Results: The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for InsuTAG demonstrated a greater area under the curve (AUC) for identifying IR than MetS (0.877 vs. 0.743, p = 0.000; 95% CI). The optimal InsuTAG cut-off to determine IR was > 23.48, with 78.43% sensitivity and 87.38% specificity. The cut-off to identify MetS was > 23.36, yielding 67.97% sensitivity and 72.82% specificity. Conclusion: InsuTAG is a useful tool for identifying IR and MetS. The optimal cut-off values are > 23.48 for IR and > 23.36 for MetS in obese adolescents. These findings support early prevention and health promotion efforts, ultimately strengthening self-care practices among obese adolescents.
