Abstract

Cholesterol is a fat compound produced by the body and also found in animals. There are two types of cholesterol that play a role in various body functions, namely LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). This study aims to determine the relationship between fast food and fiber intake and cholesterol in nutrition students class of 2021 at Teuku Umar University. This research uses quantitative methods with a cross sectional design. The sample selected was 52 people from 164 populations using simple random sampling technique. Data was collected by distributing food frequency questionnaires and 24 hour food recalls. Data analysis used the chi square test with a significance level of α= 0.05. Results: there was a relationship fast food consumption and cholesterol levels (p = 0.008), fiber intake did not relationship with cholesterol levels (p = 1.000). Conclusion: fast food consumption is related to cholesterol levels, and fiber intake and cholesterol levels are not related. It is recommended to reduce excessive intake of fast food and adopt a healthy and nutritious intake.

Abstract

This study was conducted to document and to describe the diversity of plant species along the trail of the Botanical Forest Park (Tahura) in North of Sumatra. The research employed an exploratory survey method using a transect approach, with species identification based on observable morphological characteristics in the field. Observations recorded a total of 114 plant species categorized as cultivated or agricultural plants, predominantly found in areas near settlements. In contrast, within zones of natural vegetation, 106 plant species were identified, distributed across 48 different families. These findings reflect a high level of floral diversity in Tahura Medan area, encompassing both native vegetation and cultivated species. Such biodiversity is not only essential for supporting environmental conservation efforts but also holds strategic value as a resource for tropical ecology education, particularly within urban settings.

Abstract

Wasting is a condition of thinness characterized by a weight-for-height index (W/H) with a Z-Score limit of <-2 SD. The problem in this study is the high incidence of wasting in 2022, which was 139 people (6.9%), and in 2023, it was 91 people (5.7%). These numbers are considered high because, according to WHO targets, the wasting rate should be <5%. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding, and infectious diseases with the incidence of wasting in toddlers at UPTD Puskesmas Johan Pahlawan, West Aceh Regency. With a cross-sectional approach and a correlational design, this study employed a quantitative research methodology that examines the relationship between variables at the same time (point time approach). Seventy toddlers with wasting made up the study's population, and the total sampling approach was applied. The Chi-Square test was employed in both univariate and bivariate analysis.The findings demonstrated a strong correlation between the occurrence of toddler wasting and maternal knowledge (p=0.042), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.028), and infectious illnesses (p=0.000). In conclusion, the value (p < α 0.05) indicates a correlation between the occurrence of wasting in toddlers, infectious illnesses, exclusive breastfeeding, and maternal knowledge. It is recommended that healthcare workers, especially at the health center, increase education for mothers of toddlers on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and prevention of infectious diseases (diarrhea and ARI), and that mothers of toddlers can be more active in seeking information and participating in health counseling activities organized by posyandu/health centers to understand the importance of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Nutritional problems remain a significant public health challenge, encompassing both undernutrition and overnutrition, which affect quality of life and productivity. Stress levels and physical activity are factors that may influence nutritional status, particularly among final-year students who often face high academic pressure. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress levels and physical activity with nutritional status among final-year students of the 2021 cohort at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Teuku Umar University. This research employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 142 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique from a population of 220 students. Stress levels were measured using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42), physical activity using the Physical Activity Level (PAL), and nutritional status based on Body Mass Index (BMI). The data were analyzed using Spearman correlation with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that most respondents had normal nutritional status (64.1%), experienced severe stress (38%), and had light physical activity (35.2%). Statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between stress levels and nutritional status (r = -0.068, p = 0.425), nor between physical activity and nutritional status (r = 0.030, p = 0.722). These findings suggest that nutritional status among students may be influenced by other factors beyond stress and physical activity. Therefore, it is recommended that students maintain healthy eating habits and balanced lifestyles despite academic pressures, while further research should explore additional determinants of student nutritional status.
