Abstract

Background: Obesity is an excessive fat accumulation in the body. Excessive consumption of carbohydrates, protein, and fat can increase the risk of obesity. It occurs when there is an imbalance between the energy number that goes through food and the energy that comes out through physical activity. Objectives: This study aimed to know the relationship between carbohydrate, protein, and fat consumption and obesity among the 2014 UKI Faculty of Medicine Students. Methods: This study was analytical observational research with a case-control design. The samples were 68 students from batch 2014. The data are analyzed by SPSS using Chi-square and logistic regression. Results: A total of 27.9% of students were obese, of which 33.3% were male and 25.5% were female. Based on the results of bivariate analysis, there was a significant relationship between obesity and protein consumption (p=0.048) and fat consumption (p=0.035), while there was no correlation between obesity incidence and carbohydrate consumption (p= 0.373). Conclusions: The incidence of obesity in UKI Medicine Students batch 2014 was caused by the high consumption of fat and protein. It was not caused by the consumption of carbohydrates.

Abstract

Potassium deficiency is known to induce muscle fatigue, necessitating the inclusion of potassium-rich foods, such as orange (Citrus sinensis) and banana (Musa textilia) in diet. Previous studies have shown that consuming 150 g and 300 g of banana is effective in preventing muscle fatigue, with orange containing 237.4 mg of potassium per 300 ml. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between lactic acid concentration and muscle tension reduction in fish auction workers after the administration of orange and banana. The study procedures were carried out with a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test group design, and the samples were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 received both orange and banana, 2 was given only orange, 3 received only banana, while 4 was not given any intervention. Supplemental observations were then conducted over 3 consecutive days, followed by data analysis using Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to compare lactic acid levels (independent variable) with muscle tension and strength (dependent variables). The results showed that banana significantly affected lactic acid levels but did not influence muscle tension. The combination of orange and banana produced varying levels of lactic acid and muscle tension, indicating the ineffectiveness of only banana. The intake of both fruits was also reported to influence lactic acid levels but did not affect muscle strength, suggesting the ineffectiveness of orange. These results indicated that while orange and banana could reduce lactic acid levels, the fruits did not significantly affect muscle strength or tension.
