Abstract

With age comes changes in the nervous system that are associated with a decline in cognitive function. Impaired cognitive function in the elderly is in the form of decreased memory, language, decision-making, and action. Nutritional status can be related to cognitive function. Measurement of nutritional status can be done by calculating body mass index (BMI) to determine the risk of malnutrition or obesity. Based on data from the Indonesian Psychogeriatric Organization (2019), states that the elderly aged 50-59 years experience a decrease in cognitive function in the form of forgetfulness with a mild category (Mild Cognitive Impairment) with a prevalence of 39%. To determine the relationship between nutritional status and cognitive function in the elderly in the UPT Puskesmas Surakarta City area. The design in this study was observational analytic with a Cross-Sectional approach. Samples in the study were taken by Simple Random Sampling of as many as 110 elderly people at the Surakarta City Health Center. Nutritional status in this study was measured by Body Mass Index (BMI) and cognitive function was carried out by interviewing the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire. Data analysis used the Chi Square test (?=0.05). In this study, there were elderly with a nutritional status less with a percentage of 50%, normal 6.4%, and more nutritional status 43.7% while elderly with moderate cognitive function decline with a percentage of 34.5%, mild cognitive function decline 49.1% and no decline in cognitive function with a percentage of 16.4%. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between nutritional status and cognitive function in the elderly in the UPT Puskesmas Surakarta City area with (p=0.001). There is a significant relationship between nutritional status and cognitive function in the elderly in the UPT Puskesmas Surakarta City area. Based on research (Dewi, 2019), states that the elderly with poor nutritional status is caused by changes in intestinal function, metabolic changes and deficiencies in nutrient intake while the elderly with more nutritional status experience changes in body composition with central fat accumulation in the abdomen so that it is related to decreased cognitive function.

Abstract

Kelakai plants belong to the Polypodiaceae family and originate from Central Kalimantan. The increasing prevalence of diseases related to oxidative stress has led people to consume natural antioxidants derived from plants. Kelakai plants exhibit antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hyperlipidemia activities. Based on these factors, researchers aim to examine the total flavonoid content and determine the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract from the stems and leaves of the kelakai plant (Stenochlaena palustris (Burm. F) Bedd). It is hoped that this study can be an important part of exploring antioxidant compounds obtained from natural materials around us. This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content and understand the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of Kelakai stems and leaves (Stenochlaena palustris (Burm. F) Bedd). The total flavonoid content was tested using the UV-Vis spectrophotometer method with quercetin standard and expressed in ppm. Meanwhile, the antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH method, with results expressed in Inhibition Concentration 50% (IC50). The results of the total flavonoid content of ethanol extract were 76.727±0.497 ppm, and the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of kelakai stems and leaves (Stenochlaena palustris (Burm. F) Bedd) had an IC50 value of 78.787±0.103 ppm, indicating strong intensity and potential
