Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). Based on Riskesdas 2018, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus diagnosed by doctors among the Indonesian population aged 15-24 years was 0.1%. The increase in blood glucose levels can be caused by high sugar consumption triggered by a high sweet taste threshold. Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate a relationship between the sweet threshold and fasting blood glucose levels in adolescents at Surabaya Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study included  97 individuals selected through simple random sampling. The sweet taste threshold was carried out using three-alternative forced-choice (3-AFC) method. The sweet threshold was categorized as high if the sample could only answer <4 questions, while the normal category was defined as those who could answer >4 questions. Blood glucose measurements were performed by medical personnel using a glucometer, with a fasting blood glucose level of >100mg/dL considered high. Analysis was carried out using the Chi Square statistical test. Results: The results indicated that 12.4% of the respondents had a high sweet taste threshold, while 10.3% of the respondents had high fasting blood sugar levels. The results showed that there was no relationship between the sweet taste threshold and fasting blood glucose levels (p-value = 0.210). Conclusions: There is no relationship between the sweet taste threshold and fasting blood sugar levels in adolescents at Pondok Pesantren Subulussalam Surabaya. Respondents with high GDP levels should undergo further examination to facilitate early intervention and promote healthier lifestyles.

Abstract

Introduction: The association between obesity and hypertension in adolescents necessitates the identification of potential predictors at an early stage. This study aimed to examine the association of sex and place of residence with nutritional status and blood pressure in adolescents aged 10-18 years. Methods: A sample of 198 subjects aged 10-18 years was included in this study. Data on demographic characteristics were collected using a structured questionnaire, whereas nutritional status and blood pressure were measured using standardized measures. Statistical analyses, including the independent t-test, Pearson and Spearman correlation test, and linear regression, were conducted to identify potential risk factors, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The study revealed a high prevalence of overweight-obesity (24.7%) and hypertension (11.1%) among the subjects. Significant correlations were observed between body weight, height, age, and blood pressure (p < 0.05). Boys exhibited higher mean body height and Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) than girls. Nutritional status was positively associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure, with nutritional status emerging as the primary predictor in both private houses and boarding schools (p < 0.05). Furthermore, age at menarche was found to be a predictor of blood pressure in boys, whereas age was a predictor in girls. Conclusions: BMI predicts nutritional status and blood pressure, whereas age and menarche age are crucial factors that depend on sex. Based on these findings, it is critical to manage obesity and hypertension by considering characteristics such as nutritional status, sex, and age

Abstract

Introduction:  This study aims to assess the differences in knowledge, attitudes, practices, and salt intake among older adults with and without OB-HT in an institutional setting. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 older adults (25 with OB-HT and 25 controls) in a nursing home in Indonesia. A visual-based questionnaire assessed sodium knowledge and attitude. Salt taste sensitivity was evaluated using a ranked salt intensity test on chicken soup formulations with varying salt levels (0.612–1.125 g/100 mL), and salt preference was measured using a hedonic sensory test. Energy and sodium intake were estimated using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Statistical analysis included chi-square, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test (p < 0.05). Results: There was no significant difference in sodium-related food knowledge; however, males had lower sodium knowledge scores (p = 0.029). Attitudes toward high-sodium foods differed significantly only among males (p = 0.023). Older adults with OB-HT exhibited significantly lower salt taste sensitivity, particularly among males (p = 0.043), and demonstrated a stronger preference for higher sodium concentrations in food (p = 0.046). Notably, sodium intake differed only among females (p = 0.047). Conclusions: This study highlighted the relationship between OB-HT and dietary habits, emphasizing the need to identify sex-specific differences in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding salt intake among older adults.
