Abstract

Background: Some children aged 6-9 years have started to enter the pre-pubertal rapid growth period. Therefore, the need for nutritious food has begun to increase significantly. The role of mothers in providing food is very much needed. This study aimed to discover the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of mothers in healthy feeding on the nutritional status of children.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted in July–August 2019. The sample was mothers and their children who were in grades I to III of public and private elementary schools in Penjaringan, Jakarta. The total sampling method was conducted, and data collected included age, gender, height, weight, and mother’s knowledge, attitudes and behavior in healthy feeding Data was analyzed using Chi-square. The nutritional status of the students was calculated using the 2010 anthropometric standards of the Ministry of Health.Results: Of the 348 mothers included, there were 310 mothers (89.1%) with high level of knowledge, 86.5% of mothers had a positive attitude, and 75.3% had good behavior in healthy feeding. The nutritional status of the children was predominantly normal (46.2%) and overweight (34.8%). There was a significant relationship between maternal behavior in giving healthy food and children nutritional status (p=0.046).Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between the mother's behavior in offering healthy food and the children nutritional status. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to behavior in providing healthy food to children.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that commonly affects the elderly, particularly in the knees. The OA may lead to chronic pain, physical limitations, depression, and significantly impact an individual's ability to participate in social, occupational, and community activities, ultimately reducing quality of life. Vitamin D has been suggested as a factor that may help reduce the risk of knee OA in older adults. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the risk of knee OA among elderly.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved elderly residents of a nursing home in North Jakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected through interviews and physical examinations of both knees following the American Rheumatism Knee OA diagnostic criteria. Participants who met these criteria were classified as high-risk for knee OA. Blood samples were taken to measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The Chi-square test was used for bivariate analysis.Results: Of the 48 participants involved, the majority were female (64.6%) and aged between 70-79 years (47.9%). A total of 22.9% of participants were classified as 25(OH)D insufficient and 25% were deficient. Interestingly, 62.5% were at high risk of knee OA. There was a significant association between 25(OH)D levels and the risk of knee OA (p=0.031).Conclusions: The 25(OH)D serum level has a significant association with the risk of knee OA. Increasing sunlight exposure through daily outdoor activities and considering vitamin D supplementation can help mitigate the risk of knee OA, thereby improving bone health and preventing OA in the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Obesity and smoking are major public health concerns and leading causes of preventable morbidity and mortality. Smoking may contribute to central obesity through multiple mechanisms, and individuals aged ≥40 years are at higher risk. This study aimed to examine the association between smoking and central obesity, considering sociodemographic factors, using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey-5 (IFLS-5).Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from IFLS-5. Participants included Indonesians aged ≥40 years with complete data on smoking and waist circumference. Smoking status was assessed using the Brinkman Index (BI) and classified as light (0–199), moderate (200–599), or heavy (>600). Central obesity was defined as waist circumference ≥90 cm for male and ≥80 cm for female. Associations were analyzed using Chi-square tests at 95% confidence interval.Results: Of 3,391 participants, the majority were male (95.4%) with a mean age of 52.76±9.78 years (range 40–101). The prevalence of central obesity was 22.3% (n=790), and the largest group of participants were moderate smokers (54.9%). Central obesity was significantly associated with smoking status (p=0.003), age (p<0.001), gender (p<0.001), and education level (p<0.001). No significant associations were found with marital status (p=0.826), occupation (p=0.374), or residence (p=0.750).Conclusions: Smoking, age, gender, and education level are significantly associated with central obesity among Indonesians aged ≥40 years. Preventive measures, including smoking cessation and lifestyle interventions, are essential to reduce central obesity and the risk of cardiovascular disease.
