Abstract

Patients with obesity often fail to control their body weight through diet and physical activity, while the existing anti-obesity drugs have some side effects for long-term use. Banana is Indonesia's tropical fruits with the highest production, and the banana peel has become soil waste. This study aimed to analyze nutrients and active compounds of methanol extracts of raja and kepok banana peels (ERP and EKP respectively). Macro and micro-nutrient compositions of the ERP and EKP were determined using the proximate analysis, while Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) was used to detect the ERP and EKP active compounds. The ERP contained 0.11% crude fibers, 4.44% fat, and 58.08% carbohydrates, different from the EKP (4.25% protein, 20.95% water, and 14.45% minerals). By contrast, both the ERP and EKP contained flavonoids, phenols, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins. In conclusion, ERP is potentially developed as a nutraceutical for obesity treatment in the future. Further study is needed to measure specific fat levels and to analyze specific active compounds in the ERP which can modulate gene expression and interact with protein targets in lipid metabolism.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome which can increase mortality. Obese sufferers often fail to lose body weight (BW) through non-pharmacological therapy. Obesity synthetic drugs can cause side effects, so natural ingredients are needed as alternative therapies.Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of raja banana peel extract (RBPE) on BW, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), and visceral fat mass in obese male rats.Methods: The research subjects were 30 male Wistar rats weighing 125-200 g, aged eight weeks. Obesity was induced by being given high-fat high fructose (HFHFr) feed for 28 days. Rats were randomized and divided into five groups: the negative control group (C-) was given standard feed and distilled water, the positive control (C+) was given standard feed and orlistat, treatment 1 (T1), treatment 2 (T2), and treatment 3 (T3). Which were given standard feed and RBPE doses of 200 mg/kgBW/day, 400 mg/kgBW/day, and 800 mg/kgBW/day. Data before and after the induction of obesity were analyzed using paired t-tests. BW, BMI, and visceral fat mass were analyzed using the One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Repeated Measure ANOVA tests. BFP was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Friedman test.Results: RBPE can significantly reduce BW (p=0.026), BMI (p<0.001), and BFP (p<0.001). However, all groups had no significant difference in visceral fat mass (p=0.187). T3 was the group with the lowest average BW, BMI, BFP, and visceral fat mass although the highest weight loss during the intervention period occurred in C+.Conclusions: RBPE has the potential as an alternative therapy for obesity because it can reduce BW, BMI, and BFP. Future studies can investigate the effect of RBPE on other obesity parameters such as lipid profiles.

Abstract

Background: Overnutrition is a nutritional problem characterized by excess body weight resulting from excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue. Meal skipping, sedentary behavior, and inadequate sleep duration are factors that may contribute to overnutrition, particularly among university students who often have irregular lifestyles. Objective: To determine the association between meal skipping, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration with overnutrition among final-year students at Kusuma Husada University, Surakarta. Methods: This observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 84 students selected through random sampling. Overnutrition status was determined through body weight and height measurements and assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI). Meal-skipping behavior was assessed using the Meal Skipping Questionnaire, sedentary behavior using the Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire (SBQ), and sleep duration using the Sleep Timing Questionnaire (STQ). Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: A total of 25.3% of respondents were classified as having overnutrition. A significant association was found between meal skipping and overnutrition (p = 0.043; r = 0.223). No significant associations were found between sedentary behavior and overnutrition or between sleep duration and overnutrition (p > 0.05). Conclusion: There was a weak association between meal skipping and overnutrition, whereas sedentary behavior and sleep duration were not associated with overnutrition among final-year university students.

Abstract

Background: Glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Evaluating these factors is essential to achieve optimal glycemic control. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the determinants of glycemic control among patients with T2DM in the Karangmalang Primary Health Care area. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 51 participants selected using purposive sampling. Data on participant characteristics and nutritional status were collected through questionnaires. Dietary adherence was assessed using the Perceived Dietary Adherence Questionnaire (PDAQ), while stress levels were measured using the Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (DDS-17). Glycemic control data were obtained from fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurements recorded over the previous three months in medical records. Data were analyzed using Pearson and Spearman correlation tests, followed by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Glycemic control was significantly associated with age (p<0.001), education (p=0.007), income (p=0.016), duration of diabetes (p<0.001), family history of diabetes (p=0.016), medication adherence (p=0.016), nutritional status (p=0.004), dietary adherence (p=0.016), and stress level (p=0.016). Gender was not significantly associated with glycemic control (p=0.378). Multivariate analysis identified income, family history of diabetes, and medication adherence as the factors most strongly associated with glycemic control. Conclusion: Glycemic control among patients with T2DM was associated with age, education, income, duration of diabetes, family history of diabetes, medication adherence, nutritional status, dietary adherence, and stress level. Income, family history of diabetes, and medication adherence were the strongest determinants of glycemic control.

Abstract

Students are one of the groups vulnerable to nutritional problems, including overweight. The increasing availability of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in shops and cafés has encouraged their consumption among students. SSBs contain added sugars and are generally high in calories, which may contribute to increased body fat, body weight, and waist circumference, thereby increasing the risk of overweight. This study aimed to determine the association between SSB consumption, waist circumference, and overweight among students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Kusuma Husada University, Surakarta. This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements of body weight, height, and waist circumference, as well as a respondent characteristics questionnaire. A Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess SSB consumption during the previous month. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that most participants rarely consumed SSBs, had normal waist circumference, and were not overweight. No significant association was found between SSB consumption and waist circumference (p=0.683) or overweight (p=0.523). In conclusion, SSB consumption was not significantly associated with waist circumference or overweight among students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Kusuma Husada University, Surakarta.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by uncontrolled blood sugar levels and is diagnosed using fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurements. Risk factors for T2DM include central obesity, measured by the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and poor sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between WHR and sleep quality with FBG levels in T2DM patients, by employing an observational study with a cross-sectional design A total of 51 respondents aged 45–75 years were selected using purposive sampling. Waist and hip circumference were measured with a metline; sleep quality was assessed using a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, and FBG levels were obtained from secondary data in the form of medical records at the Karangmalang Community Health Center. Spearman was used for the bivariate test, while the multiple linear regression was used for the multivariate test. The test results showed a significant relationship between WHR and FBG levels (p=0.001, r=0.460), and between sleep quality with FBG levels (p<0.001, r=0.553). Multivariate results obtained p=0.026 for sleep quality and p=0.093 for WHR, suggesting sleep quality is more strongly associated with FBG levels. Sleep quality was the dominant factor associated with FBG levels in T2DM patients. The results of this study can be used as a guideline for individuals with T2DM to maintain normal blood glucose levels and good sleep quality for better blood glucose control.

Abstract

Adolescent girls are in a transitional period from childhood to adulthood marked by lifestyle changes. Lack of knowledge leads to frequent fast-food consumption and unhealthy eating habits. The desire for an ideal body also drives strict diets and negative body image perceptions. This study aims to analyze correlation between nutrition knowledge and fast-food consumption with body image in female adolescents. This is observational study with cross-sectional design. 35 respondents were selected with purposive random sampling. Nutrition knowledge was collected using the questionnaire, fast food consumption collected with Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and Body image were using Figure Rating Scale (FRS). Data were collected was analyzed with Rank Spearman. There was correlation between nutrition knowledge with body image (p=0,003). There was no correlation between fast food consumption with body image (p=0,14). There was a significant correlation between nutrition knowledge with body image but there was no correlation between fast food consumption with body image.Keywords: Adolescents Girl, Body Image, Fast Food Consumption, Nutrition Knowledge

Abstract. Nugraheni MA, Indarto D, Pamungkasari EP, Susilawati TN, Jusup SA, Purwaningtyas N, Rahardjo SS, Wulandari S, Devina KE. 2024. The effects of Jebisa on nutrient intake and hematology profile in adolescent girls with anemia. Nusantara Bioscience 16: 210-218. Anemia is a public health problem that often occurs in adolescent girls in developing countries, including Indonesia, mainly due to iron deficiency. Iron supplementation has been implemented for anemia treatment, but there are some side effects for long-term use. The Indonesian Government also fortified wheat flour with iron and folic acid, but the efficacy of fortification remains unclear. Snake fruit seeds contain high iron (Fe) and vitamin C levels but they are usually thrown away. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effects of jelly-containing snake fruit seed flour (SSF) and sugar, now called Jebisa, on macro and micronutrient intake and hematological profile in adolescent girls with anemia. Thirty tree adolescent girls from five public high schools in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, were randomly grouped into three categories: Control group (C) was given plain jelly with Fe tablets, and Treatment groups (T1-T2) were given jelly-containing 18.52 g and 37.04 g SSF, respectively, for 60 days. Data were analyzed using the one-way and repeated measures ANOVA tests followed by the Post Hoc Tukey and the Kruskal-Wallis test for non-parametric data. A significant value was set to p&lt;0.05. The results suggested that the average daily energy intake, carbohydrates, and fibers significantly increased in the T1 and T2 groups compared to the C group (p&lt;0.05). The average Fe intake in the T2 (19.59±1.70 mg/day) was significantly higher than that of T1 (10.74±2.40 mg/day) and C group (4.74±3.43 mg/day) with p&lt;0.001. The T1 group had higher hemoglobin (Hb) levels (11.44±2.01 g/dL) than the C (11.04±1.92 g/dL) and T2 groups (10.89±0.67 g/dL) but were not significantly different. In conclusion, regular consumption of jelly-containing SSF increased the daily intake of energy, carbohydrates, fibers, Fe, and Hb levels in adolescent girls with anemia.

Abstract

The lack of fruit and vegetable consumption in children is one of the problems that still occurs today. Lack of knowledge about the importance of consuming fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced nutritional diet is one of the causes. This can be overcome by providing nutrition education to increase knowledge. The purpose of this study was to increase knowledge about the importance of fruit and vegetable consumption among students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Wonorejo. A total of 52 students became respondents in this activity. This activity began with a pre-test then continued with providing educational materials about the importance of fruits and vegetables through lecture methods, using leaflets and discussion as aids. In addition, a pre-test and post-test were also conducted as a benchmark for the success of the educational activities. The pre-test results showed that the majority had a moderate level of knowledge (75%). After the educational activity, the results while the post-test results of 98.1% showed a high level of knowledge increase to 98%. The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon test obtained a p value of 0.000 (p <0.05), which indicates that there is a significant difference between the level of knowledge before and after being given education. The conclusion in this activity is that educational activities are effective in increasing respondents' knowledge

Abstract

This review synthesizes global empirical evidence regarding digital health interventions designed to optimize parental engagement within early childhood nutrition and feeding frameworks. By systematically analyzing diverse modalities such as mobile applications, specialized websites, text messaging platforms, and interactive social media, the synthesis characterizes parental involvement patterns across multi dimensional behavioral trajectories and exposure frequencies. The extracted findings indicate that although advanced digital architectures successfully deliver tailored educational resources and evidence based behavior change mechanisms, sustaining active caregiver usage beyond initial uptake remains a critical challenge. Significant improvements in child dietary outcomes and parental responsive feeding practices are heavily concentrated within high active usage thresholds, whereas passive platform exposure yields minimal or transient behavioral shifts. Furthermore, intervention efficacy is strongly moderated by structural socio demographic variables, revealing profound equity divides where resource constrained families face heightened attrition driven by digital literacy limitations. Consequently, advancing pediatric nutritional health systematically necessitates a paradigm shift toward inclusive user centered architectures integrated within routine healthcare services to stabilize long term caregiver engagement across diverse populations.
