Abstract

Abstract: The elderly population is expected to nearly double in decades. The elderly is associated with increased malnutrition, decreased muscle and bone mass, decreased water volume in the body, and increased body fat mass. This research aims to determine the body composition of the elderly in Telagah Village to improve their degree of health. This study used a cross-sectional design and sampling method using total sampling conducted in conjunction with counselling. The inclusion criteria for research subjects are ≥ 60 years old and willing to participate in research. Researchers directly measured participants to obtain the necessary data in the form of age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, total body fluid percentage, visceral fat, and bone mass. The collected data is presented in the form of frequency and percentage. The total participants in this study were 30 people, the majority of whom were women (80%), age range 60-69 years (76.67%), and had nutritional status in the form of obesity (66.7%). The average height and weight of the participants were 152.85 ± 8.41 cm and 62.75 ± 14.02 kg. From body composition data, the majority of participants had a high percentage of body fat (46.7%), low bone mass (93.3%), normal visceral fat (86.7%), and normohydration (56.7%). The majority of nutritional status in the elderly in the study was obese with body composition that had a high percentage of body fat, low bone mass, normal visceral fat, and normohydration.

Abstract

Abstract. Obesity is caused by the changes in nutrient intake due to changes in diet by populations who have adopted a modern lifestyle, thus increasing the tendency of fat consumption with decreased consumption of fiber and lack of physical activity. The role of fiber in obesity includes helps indigestion and helps to reduce the occurrence of obesity. This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary fiber consumption and the incidence of obesity in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara. This research is analytic observational research with a cross-sectional design. The sample was selected using a non-probability sampling technique, with a sample size of 72 people. The measuring instrument used is a questionnaire. From table 4.4 the research subjects are 72 respondents; 11 respondents are grouped in underweight nutritional status and all 11 respondents have insufficient fiber consumption. There are 29 respondents who are grouped in a normal nutritional status where 8 respondents have sufficient fiber consumption and 21 respondents have insufficient fiber consumption. A total of 12 respondents were classified as overweight, 7 of the 12 respondents have sufficient fiber consumption and 5 respondents have insufficient fiber consumption. There are 20 respondents grouped in the nutritional status of obesity, 10 respondents whose fiber consumption is sufficient, and 10 respondents whose fiber consumption is insufficient. From the results of the Spearman correlation test, a p-value of 0,049 was obtained and the RR value was -0,233. There is a weak and unidirectional relationship between dietary fiber consumption and the incidence of obesity in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara.Keywords: Dietary fiber, obesity, students

Abstract

Abstract: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are the most relevant outcome in cardiovascular secondary prevention because they are the main cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with cardiovascular disease. Due to the contrasting results between studies, omega-3 supplementation is believed to have cardioprotective effects, but its significance in reducing MACE is still in question. This study aims to determine the effect of omega-3 supplementation on the prevention of MACE. A literature search was carried out on several databases from September 820, 2021. Selection of literature is done through the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) flowchart. Literature that is eligible was then assessed qualitatively. We compared the hazard ratio of each key outcome of interest, which was included in the primary and secondary end-point of each study. Among 2049 publications found from the initial literature search, 6 publications were included in this study. The analysis showed a significant reduction in cardiovascular risk in participants with a high dose of pure EPA. Studies with a lower dose of omega-3 that contains a combination of EPA and DHA did not provide similar significant results. The use of high-dose omega-3 supplementation with pure EPA content can significantly reduce

Abstract

Obesity is a body condition caused by an energy imbalance that is closely relatedto diet. Obese people experience chronic low-grade inflammation in the body that can lead tochronic disease due to the production of inflammatory markers from adipose tissue, one ofwhich is the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP), which is closely related to diet.The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between dietary intake andinflammatory markers (high sensitivity C-reactive protein, hs-CRP) in obese people. Therewere 34 men and women aged 19-59 years with BMI 25.0 kg/m2 tested for hsCRP blood andassessed dietary intake using the food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) method. Therelationship between dietary intake and hsCRP was assessed using the Spearman correlation.Intake of calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, PUFA, and cholesterol did not have asignificant relationship with hsCRP (p 0.05). Dietary intake is not associated with hsCRP.
