Abstract

In the ongoing coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, the most vulnerable groups are those with pre-existing health problems and the elderly due to their reduced immune system to prevent infection. Nutrition plays a significant role in maintaining the immune system to prevent pathogen manifestation. This review aimed to identify and discuss the role of nutrients in COVID-19 in developing immunity. Studies included in this review were obtained from articles published in reputable journals accessed from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website, leading search engine, in a retrospective timeframe from January 1 to May 2, 2020, using specified keywords. The search resulted in seven articles relevant to the objective of the review. They highlighted the role of nutrients, namely the deficiency of essential nutrients that might exacerbate the health status. The consumption of certain nutrients, micronutrient and omega-3 might be tolerated up to the upper level of recommended dietary allowance (RDA) to benefit the health status. This review can assist in providing the prevention and mitigation approach to improve immunity amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The government should expand the continuous delivery of messages regarding the benefit of appropriate nutrients in maintaining health and immune system. Furthermore, the current condition gives the best opportunity to educate the community on a healthy and balanced diet for daily life.

Abstract

Micronutrients play a significant role in metabolism reaction although this only needs a few micronutrients such as iron (Fe) and folic acid as folate substitutes. Fortification and supplementation program aims to meet the requirement of micronutrients by providing synthetic formula. The Indonesian government has applied iron-folic acid fortification (IFA) in flour. Moreover, the IFA supplementation program was given to vulnerable groups, pregnant mothers and women at reproductive age, including adolescent girls. The program has been applied for almost five decades, but the micronutrients deficiencies remain high. This study aims to review effects of the supplementation and fortification to vulnerable groups in Indonesia. This is necessary to  to determine their effectiveness within a specified period since the program has been applied for decades and to assess whether an additional program is needed or not. The data of this study were collected from verified international journal articles in the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)/PubMed and Cochrane Library website. 11 articles related to the program were obtained. The program has been conducted for an extended period, yet its effectiveness should be reinforced to diminish the micronutrient deficiencies. It is mandatory to reformulate an additional program to strengthen the program. Nutrition education program, campaign for a healthy and balanced diet, protein consumption based local resources can be designated to assist the eradication of micronutrient deficiencies.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the prevalence of under, and over-nutrition increased. As a representative of undernutrition, stunting has become a severe public problem. Stunting was a manifestation of chronic malnutrition found in under-five-year-old children. The short stature of the children would hamper growth and development and might affect the disease progression in the future. Not only stunting but also obesity has also become a new issue in low-middle income countries (LMICs). The shift of urbanization heightened the prevalence of obesity in LMICs. This narrative review highlighted the increment of malnutrition in LMICs based on the literature findings during the COVID-19 pandemic and some possible factors related to the outcome. The articles for this review were obtained from verified international journal articles in the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)/PubMed and Cochrane Library website. Eleven papers were collected to address malnutrition during the pandemic. Some related factors are: socioeconomic, dietary intake, sanitation and hygiene, health facility, and self-isolation contributed to the double malnutrition problem. Therefore, it is mandatory to suggest the appropriate approach to mitigate malnutrition in children by enriching nutrition education and knowledge programs to assist in resolving the public health problem.

Abstract

Despite the fact that Indonesia has established nutrition and health measures to prevent childhood malnutrition, more than 70% of children aged 2 to 5 consume less iron than the Indonesian dietary recommendations. Iron deficiency harms children's cognitive and motor development, increase morbidity. Ascorbic acid prevents stomach iron accumulation, inhibiting nonheme absorption. Iron-deficient kids don't eat enough. 65 to 72% of children's daily calories are consumed at home, hence the environment is crucial. The purpose of this study is to see if the iron and vitamin C consumption of children aged 2 to 6 in Pejagalan, North Jakarta, is related to their eating environment. There were 191 samples examined. To assess children's intake, 2x24h food recalls were performed. A modified version of the NHANES CBQ was used to assess the home food environment. For each response, 1 signified "never" and 4 meant "always." SPSS Version 20 was used to perform Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression. The iron and vitamin consumption of the subjects was lower than the estimated average requierement (EAR) for Indonesia. It was shown that people who had more access to fruits and vegetables ingested more iron and vitamin C. Iron consumption was enhanced by fruits, vegetables, sweets, and SSB. Fruit accessibility (p<0.05) and availability (p<0.05) were related to vitamin C consumption. There are a variety of home food environment characteristics linked with the availability and accessibility of food that are related to a child's consumption, particularly of micronutrients

Abstract

Abstract Museums located in the Kota Tua area of DKI Jakarta Province are tourist destinations that store collections related to the maritime world of Indonesia in the past. After the fire in early 2018, the Maritime Museum continuously improved its collection information so visitors could relish it. Furthermore, in community service activities held by Gunadarma University, an inventory of museum collections is carried out to collect photos and videos of available displays by optimizing the resources owned by the Maritime Museum. This activity is carried out in five stages: preparation, data collection and compilation of information, database creation, and implementation. The preparation stage was carried out in the first year by collecting information online and in person. In contrast, data collection activities were carried out by taking photos and videos of the collection. In the second year, the collection database and product implementation will be continued to be applied in the Museum. This publication will elaborate on the data collection stage and compilation of information collection. Improving the quality and access to display can reach museum enthusiasts, increasing literacy, which can help increase the visitation for museums in Indonesia, especially DKI Jakarta. Abstrak Museum-museum yang berada di kawasan Kota Tua Provinsi DKI Jakarta menjadi salah satu destinasi wisata yang menyimpan koleksi terkait dunia bahari Indonesia di masa lampau.

Abstract

Malnutrition is one of the public health problems that existed during the pandemic; both problems, under and overnutrition, existed. Furthermore, malnutrition can worsen the infection in all groups, including children. The risk of being infected was higher in the malnutrition group than in the well-nourished one. This article aimed to review the risk of malnutrition and possibly related factors in children during the pandemic. This article used the literature review method and was conducted by the initial 2022 from several countries. The object included in the analysis was children's health and nutrition related. The source of articles highlighted the occurrence of malnutrition in children. The source of articles was from PubMed and Cochrane Library, which resulted in 21 eligible papers. The result of the study found that the identified possible factors are self-isolation, physical activity, dietary patterns, nutrient shortage, and socioeconomic factors. There was a shift in dietary patterns among children during the COVID-19 pandemic due to several factors. Those are the scarcity of food sources and compensation for the lockdown, and those findings confirmed the possibility of under- and overnutrition among children. In low-middle income countries (LMICs), the risk of malnutrition problems in this pandemic has heightened the magnitude of the public health problem. The mitigation program should overcome the existing problem to minimize the adverse effect of malnutrition among children.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to assess the micronutrient and nutritional status among female adolescents having low birth weight history and normal birth weight history. Research design for this particular research was nested cohort in community level. Subjects was chosen by simple randomization, based on data collected by Frontiers for Health Foundation and Padjajaran University, Bandung. The measurement of micronutrients status (Hb, retinol plasma, and urinary iodine excretion), anthropometric, history of disease, semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire was collected to make comparison between female young adolescent with low birth weight and normal birth weight history. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), vitamin A deficiency (VAD), and iodine deficiency among all subjects were 9.9%, 12.9%, and 40.7%, respectively. The mean concentration of blood hemoglobin, plasma retinol and iodine excretion were not significantly different between low birth weight (LBW) and normal birth weight (NBW) group. Nutritional status, disease during the last three months, current nutritional status, food intake and onset of menstruation were not significantly different between group. In conclusion, micronutrient status, nutritional status, food intake and morbidity status in female adolescents with LBW and NBW history were not different.Keywords: iodine, iron, low birth weight, normal birth weight, vitamin AABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah mengukur status mikronutrien dan gizi remaja putri yang memiliki riwayat berat badan lahir rendah dan berat badan normal. Desain penelitian ini adalah nested cohort retrospective untuk tingkat komunitas. Subjek penelitian dipilih berdasarkan randomisasi sederhana, berdasarkan data cohort yang dikumpulkan oleh Yayasan Frontriers for Health dan Universitas Padjajaran, Bandung. Pengukuran status mikronutrien (Hb, plasma retinol, dan kadar iodium dari ekskresi urin), pengukuran antropometri, riwayat penyakit yang diderita dan pengumpulan data mengenai asupan makanan dilakukan perbandingan antara remaja putri yang memiliki berat badan normal dan berat badan lahir rendah. Prevalensi anemia kekurangan zat besi, kekurangan vitamin A dan kadar iodium dari ekskresi urin pada semua subjek adalah 9,9%, 12,9%, dan 40,7%, secara berurutan. Konsentrasi rata-rata dari hemoglobin darah, plasma retinol dan kadar iodium dari ekskresi urin tidak berbeda secara nyata antara remaja putri dengan berat badan lahir rendah dan berat badan normal. Status gizi, penyakit yang diderita selama tiga bulan terakhir, asupan makanan, dan usia mulai mengalami menstruasi tidak berbeda secara nyata antara remaja putri dengan berat badan normal dan berat badan rendah. Status mikronutrien, status gizi, asupan makanan, dan status morbiditas pada remaja putri dengan berat badan lahir rendah dan berat badan normal tidak terdapat perbedaan yang nyata.Kata kunci: BBLN, BBLR, iodium, vitamin A, zat besi
