Abstract

Introduction Despite many health benefits from dietary fiber, inadequate intake is prevalent among elderly population. This study aims to obtain the pattern of fiber intake in different socio-demographic backgrounds among elderly in Jakarta area, Indonesia and its’ associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among elderly aged > 60 years in 5 community health center across Jakarta province. A total of 126 elderly were interviewed using two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recall methods to obtain dietary intake data. Socio-demographic backgrounds on age, sex, education, income, marital status, and energy intake were assessed using structured questionnaire. Mann-Whitney or independent t-test was performed to measure the different of fiber intake in each socio-demographic variable. Linear regression test was performed to analyze the variables that associated with fiber intake. Results: Majority of 98.4% of elderly have total fiber intake <80% of Indonesian Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) with average intake of 6.6 g/d. Lower fiber intake was significantly found in females, widowed/separated, have lower education and income, and have inadequate energy intake. Factors associated with total fiber intake were income (adjusted β=0.20, p=0.01) and energy intake adequacy (adjusted β=0.65 p=0.00). Conclusion: Fiber intake among elderly in urban area is inadequate and the pattern was worse in the low socio-demographic settings. By this finding, it is important to give priority to the socially disadvantages group when formulating nutrition intervention policy in this population setting.

Abstract

Background: Obesity modulates oxidative stress and can be detected by examining malondialdehyde (MDA) serum levels. Flavonoids are natural bioactive ingredients that can be found in various types of vegetables and fruits that function as antioxidants to suppress that oxidative stress. Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between flavonoid intake and MDA serum levels in obese women of reproductive age. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Kendari, Indonesia from April to October 2021. The purposive sampling method was used to obtain 88 subjects who met the research criteria. Data were collected through interviews covering flavonoids intake using validated SQ-FFQ. Anthropometric measurements were performed to assess nutritional status, and laboratory tests were applied to determine MDA serum levels. Results: The average intake of flavonoids in the subjects was 142,26 ± 56,53 mg per day. Meanwhile, the average MDA serum level in the subjects was 2.16 mol/L, ranging from 1.09 nmol/ml to 6.71 nmol/ml. There was no significant correlation between total flavonoid intake and MDA serum levels in obese women of reproductive age (r=0,188, p=0,079). However, there was a weak correlation between the intake of flavonoid subclasses, namely flavan-3-ols/flavanols and MDA serum levels (r=0.325, p=0.002). Conclusion: We conclude that there was no correlation between total flavonoid intake and MDA serum levels. However, there was a correlation between flavan-3-ols/flavanols and MDA serum levels in the subjects.
