Abstract

Accurate pre-pregnancy weight is crucial for optimal pregnancy outcomes. However, self-reported pre-pregnancy weight often differs from estimated values owing to various factors. This study aimed to compare pre-pregnancy weight with the self-reported method and estimated using the Thomas formula in pregnant women in Bogor, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 160 pregnant women in Bogor. Pre-pregnancy weight was assessed using both self-reported and the Thomas formula estimation. Differences between the two methods were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Our study revealed a significant median difference between self-reported and estimated pre-pregnancy weight, with 56.5 kg and 58.4 kg, respectively (pvalue<0.001). Women tended to underestimate their pre-pregnancy weight by -1.7 kg (SD=3.8). There was a difference in the proportion of body mass index (BMI) categories based on self-reported and estimated pre-pregnancy weights. However, the classification of BMI before pregnancy was generally consistent between the two methods. The Thomas formula proved to be more sensitive in predicting the incidence of overweight than underweight in Bogor City. A limitation of this study is that it did not directly validate the measured pre-pregnancy weight, which led to the result that self-reported pre-pregnancy weight may underestimate the actual weight. Although Thomas’s formula provides a precise estimate, it is important to consider the limitations of the self-report and estimation methods. Therefore, healthcare providers should be aware of these differences, use a combination of approaches to assess pre-pregnancy weight, and provide appropriate nutritional counseling

Abstract

Malnutrition is a major global health concern, especially in developing countries. Although patin fish oil and protein offer benefits, their individual and combined effects on maternal physiology remain unclear, particularly during early pregnancy. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of patin-based nutritional intervention on total serum protein, albumin, hemoglobin levels, body weight during pregnancy, body weight during lactation, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, external appearance, behavioral activity, and milk production in malnourished rats. An in vivo study was conducted using Rattus norvegicus rats. The rats were divided into six groups: (1) healthy control, receiving standard feed; (2) malnourished control, receiving an 8% low-protein diet; (3) malnourished group, receiving standard feed; (4) malnourished treated with patin oil; (5) malnourished treated with patin meat; and (6) malnourished treated with a combination of patin oil and meat. The treatment consisted of 21 days during pregnancy and 23 days during lactation, for a total of 44 days. Our data indicated that patin-based intervention significantly increased total protein (p=0.044), albumin (p=0.001), and hemoglobin levels (p=0.034) compared to malnourished control group. The malnourished animals treated with patin oil showed the highest increases in total protein (1.67%), albumin (17.75%), and hemoglobin (24.26%). Body weight gain improved significantly in patin-treated group in both pregnancy (p=0.032) and lactation (p<0.001) compared to the malnourished control, with the highest gains observed in the patin oil group. Milk production also increased significantly (p<0.05), reaching its peak in the patin oil and meat combination group (6.97 g). Physiological parameters, including heart rate (p=0.021), respiratory rate (p=0.025), and body temperature (p=0.023), were significantly different among groups, of which patin oil and meat groups had the most optimal parameters compared to malnourished control group. In conclusion, patin-based nutritional intervention effectively enhances protein metabolism, hematological parameters, and physiological health in malnourished maternal rats, with patin oil demonstrating the most pronounced effects.

Abstract

Galohgor nutraceutical, a traditional herbal formulation from Sundanese-Indonesia, has long been used for its health benefits, including antidiabetic potential. However, studies on α-glucosidase inhibition in its new formulation remain limited. This study aimed to assess the antioxidant activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory potential of the reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical, and its effect on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The methods used a completely randomized design (CRD). Antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory effect were evaluated using the DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method and α-glucosidase inhibition assay. MDA levels were analyzed in vivo using serum samples from mice treated with the reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical. The statistical analysis used was an independent t-test. The results the reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical extract exhibited antioxidant activity, with IC₅₀ values of 2904.06 ppm, while ascorbic acid, used as a positive control, had a significantly lower IC₅₀ value of 8.20 ppm. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the reformulated (F2) extracts showed IC₅₀ values of 30.833,14 ppm, respectively, which were considerably higher than the positive control, acarbose (IC₅₀= 0.16±0.001 ppm). Administrating of the Galohgor extract at a dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight successfull reduced MDA levels. Although not statistically significant (p = 0.131), the observed reduction in MDA levels suggests a protective potential against oxidative stress. The reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical extract has potential as a natural antioxidant and antidiabetic agent

Abstract

Peningkatan performa atlet tidak hanya bergantung pada latihan fisik, tetapi juga pada kecukupan asupan gizi yang seimbang dan sesuai. Program ini merupakan bagian dari program pengabdian masyarakat yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan status gizi dan performa atlet sepak bola melalui asesmen, edukasi, intervensi, dan monitoring status gizi. Sasaran kegiatan adalah atlet dari klub sepak bola Pakuan City FC. Metode yang digunakan mencakup pre-tes dan post-tes pengetahuan gizi, pengukuran status gizi, pemberian intervensi berupa menu diet seimbang, dan pemantauan berkala. Rata-rata Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) atlet menunjukkan sedikit peningkatan dari 21.04 kg/m² (Sesi 1) menjadi 21.34 kg/m² (Sesi 2) dan 21.57 kg/m² (Sesi 3), persentase lemak tubuh juga mengalami kenaikan ringan dari 12.25% (Sesi 1) ke 12.36% (Sesi 2) dan 12.64% (Sesi 3), sementara lemak viseral berfluktuasi dari 5.93 (Sesi 1) menjadi 5.79 (Sesi 2) lalu kembali ke 5.93 (Sesi 3), dengan semua parameter ini secara konsisten tetap berada dalam kategori normal selama tiga sesi evaluasi pendampingan gizi. Peningkatan performa fisik juga dapat dilihat dari hasil distance per minute yang mengalami kenaikan dari sesi 1 hingga sesi 3, yaitu dari 98 menjadi 108 meter per menit. Hasil menunjukkan adanya perbaikan pada beberapa indikator status gizi dan peningkatan pengetahuan gizi atlet. Program ini membuktikan bahwa pendampingan gizi secara komprehensif dapat meningkatkan performa atlet secara signifikan
