Abstract

Background: Lifestyle has a role in determining a person's nutritional status, such as eating habits, smoking habits, physical activity, and alcohol consumption. Mechanics tend not to pay special attention to health, especially in their lifestyle. In addition, the majority of mechanics have high blood pressure. Therefore, the authors were concerned about their nutritional status and its relationship with the affecting factors. Objectives: To analyze the correlation of age, lifestyle, and blood pressure with the nutritional status of repair shop mechanics. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design on 70 mechanics at 12 motorcycle repair shops in 6 districts of Medan City. Age and lifestyle data were obtained from questionnaires, blood pressure data from direct measurements using a sphygmomanometer twice with a five-minute interval, and nutritional status data from anthropometric measurements. All collected data were analyzed using Spearman's Correlation with the Kolmogorov Smirnov's normality test. Results: The bivariate test showed a significant relationship between smoking (p=0.004, r=-0.342), physical activity (p=0.000, r=-0.484), sodium intake (p=0.000, r=0.570), and blood pressure (p=0.001, r=0.382) with the nutritional status of mechanics. Meanwhile, no significant relationship exists between age (p=0.255) and alcohol consumption habits (p=0.774) with mechanical nutritional status. Conclusions: Mechanical nutritional status negatively correlated with smoking and physical activity but positively correlated with sodium intake and blood pressure.

Abstract

Background: Knowledge and attitudes of third-trimester pregnant women significantly affect the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This period is critical for mothers to prepare for childbirth, including understanding infant nutrition. Enhancing knowledge and attitudes requires effective media aligned with technological advancements, such as an E-booklet. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of an E-booklet on exclusive breastfeeding in enhancing the knowledge and attitudes of third-trimester pregnant women in the Tuntungan Health Center area. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. A total of 60 third-trimester pregnant women (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group) were chosen through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of distributing an E-booklet over a two-week period. Changes in knowledge and attitudes were evaluated using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: Most participants in both groups were aged 20–25 years (50.0% and 56.7%), had higher education (73.3% and 70.0%), parity ≤2 (63.3% and 66.7%), were unemployed (63.3% and 56.7%), and had high incomes (60.0% and 56.7%). The experimental group showed a mean knowledge score increase of 5.70 (SD=2.57) compared to 0.86 (SD=1.37) in the control group. Attitude scores increased by 8.87 (SD=3.37) in the experimental group compared to 1.43 (SD=3.65) in the control group. Mann-Whitney analysis indicated that the E-booklet significantly improved knowledge and attitudes (p-value=0.001). Conclusions: The E-booklet effectively enhanced the knowledge and attitudes of third-trimester pregnant women regarding exclusive breastfeeding. It is a promising educational tool to promote exclusive breastfeeding in communities.

Abstract

Background: Inadequate nutritional intake is often influenced by lack of knowledge among adolescents regarding the quantity and types of food they should consume, impacting their nutritional status. With technology being an integral part of modern life, it can be leveraged to improve adolescents' dietary practices by enhancing their knowledge of balanced nutrition. Objectives: To develop the self-dietary assessment application, Diary NutriMe, as a nutritional assistance tool for overweight adolescents to improve their nutritional knowledge and dietary intake. Methods: This study employed the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. The feasibility assessment of the Diary NutriMe application was conducted by material and media experts using a checklist questionnaire with a Likert scale ranging from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), categorized into five levels: highly feasible to not feasible. The implementation involved improving nutritional knowledge among 36 overweight/obese adolescent students. Results: The application features included a login system, nutritional status calculation, nutrient requirement estimation, food intake records, physical activity logs, a collection of nutrition education materials, and a chat feature. The material feasibility assessment received an average score of 90.7%, categorized as highly feasible, while the media feasibility assessment received an average score of 86.7%, also categorized as highly feasible. Statistical analysis using a T-test indicated no significant difference in respondents' knowledge (p-value=0.51). However, there was an increase in the average nutritional knowledge score by 7.7 points before and after using the Diary NutriMe application. Conclusions: The Diary NutriMe application is highly feasible as a nutritional assistance tool for adolescents with overweight conditions.

Abstract

Background: University students are the age group of late adolescents who are still undergoing growth and development. Growth and development must be supported by balanced nutritional intake and healthy eating habits. Currently, an emerging trend is that numerous campus activities and academic demands often lead students to develop nighttime eating habits, typically involving high-fat foods, outside of regular mealtimes. Objectives: To determine the relationship between nighttime eating, fat intake, and the incidence of overweight among college students. Methods: The research design was cross-sectional, with purposive sampling technique. A total of 106 students, aged 19-23 years, participated in this study. The instruments used included the Night Eating Diagnostic Questionnaire (NEDQ) to assess night eating habits, a 24-hour food recall questionnaire to estimate fat intake, weight scales and microtoice to calculate Body Mass Index and determine nutritional status. Data analysis was conducted using chi-square and logistic regression. Results: There was a relationship between night time eating and the incidence of overnutrition (p-value = 0.040). There was also a significant relationship between fat intake and the incidence of overweight (p-value = 0.005) among college students. The results further indicate that adolescents with nighttime eating are 3.785 times more likely to being overweight. Additionally, adolescents with high fat intake are 3,814 times more likely to be overnourished. Conclusions: Eating habits and nutritional intake are crucial to create healthy and productive adolescents.
