Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the main causes of patients to visit health facilities. The incidence and prevalence of ARI in Indonesia in 2013 is 1.8 and 4.5%, respectively. ARI is still among the top ranks of eleven major causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five in 2013. One of the factors that makes a person get exposed to respiratory diseases is the nutritional status. This study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of ARI in infants at Puskesmas Kecamatan Kebon Jeruk on August 2016. Research subjects were toddlers who sought treatment at MTBS (Manajemen Terpadu Balita Sakit) health center in Puskesmas Kecamatan Kebon Jeruk. Eighty-four subjects participated in this study were selected by a consecutive sampling technique. Nutritional status was categorized based on anthropometric standards by measuring body weight age ratio. Among the subjects, 9 infants (64,3%) had bad nutrition and ISPA, whereas 49 infants (70,0%) had good nutrition and ISPA. Statistical analysis using Fisher test obtained a significance value, with a p-value of 0.754 (p> 0.05). The study concludes that there was no association between nutritional status and the incidence of ARI in infants in Puskesmas Kecamatan Kebon Jeruk in August 2016.Keywords: respiratory infections, nutritional status, toddler, Puskesmas Kecamatan Kebon Jeruk

Abstract

Ipomoea reptans Poir or kangkung is a popular leafy vegetable, a favorite to people in Asian countries. However, limited information is available on their bioactivities. In the present study, the antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-obesity potential of I. reptans leaves were investigated. Different fractions (ethanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane) of I. reptans leaves were evaluated for their scavenging activity on DPPH radicals, whereas their reducing potential was investigated by cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CuPRAC), total antioxidant, and reducing power assays. The antidiabetic potential was investigated by their inhibition effect on α-glucosidase. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of I. reptans leaves were solvent dependent. Ethyl acetate contained the highest phenolic content, followed by ethanol and hexane fractions. However, for flavonoid content, the order was ethanol > ethyl acetate > hexane. All fractions showed DPPH scavenging activity in a concentration-dependent manner, with activities weaker than standards ascorbic acid and BHT, in the order of ethanol > ethyl acetate > hexane. All fractions showed reducing capacity, but only hexane and ethanol fractions of I. reptans leaves showed inhibition on α-glucosidase, with hexane showed more potent inhibition compared to acarbose. The study also found that fractions of I. reptans inhibit lipase and trypsin, enzymes related to lipid metabolism. Findings in this study offer a prospect for I. reptans leaves as a functional food source for antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-obesity purposes.
