Abstract

Background: Obesity is an increasingly complex and common global health problem, especially among adults. The aim of this scoping review is to examine the relationship between sleep duration and obesity in adults.  Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology guideline. Databases including PUBMED, ScienceDirect, DOAJ, and ResearchGate were searched in 2024 with the keywords "obesity AND sleep AND adults". Articles published between 2019 and 2023 that focused on observational studies. Results: Of the 2960 articles found, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria. A cross-sectional research design was used by 86% of the studies, while only 14% were enrolled in cohort studies. The majority of studies showed a significant correlation between short-term and long-term sleep duration and the likelihood of becoming obese. The assessment tools used were extensive and included interviews, questionnaires, and sleep monitors such as the Actiwatch Spectrum. The obesity assessment indicators used are Body Mass Index (BMI) and waistline. Conclusions: The review suggests that adults whose sleep is too short or too long are more likely to be obese. Lack of sleep can trigger hormonal changes, stimulate appetite, and result in obesity.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents in Indonesia face the triple burden of malnutrition due to low nutritional literacy. This study evaluates the impact of Learning Cards (in bahasa: Kartu Belajar or Kejar) in improving anthropometric knowledge and skills among adolescents. Methods: This was a pre-experimental, single-group pre-test post-test design was conducted in Giripanggung Village, Tepus, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 2023. Fifty adolescents, aged 11-19 years, participated in a three-day offline training covering weight, height, and mid-upper arm circumference measurements. Data were collected at three points (pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2) and analyzed using tests. Results: Adolescents' knowledge significantly improved from a pre-test mean score of 54.7 ± 11.8 to 79.7 ± 11.9 in post-test 1 (p < 0.05). While post-test 2 showed a slight decline (77.6 ± 12.5), knowledge remained significantly higher than baseline (p < 0.05). Anthropometric skills also increased substantially, with weight measurement scores rising from 51.3 ± 21.5 (pre-test) to 85.3 ± 13.7 (post-test 1, p < 0.05). Although post-test 2 showed a decline (75.2 ± 15.4), the scores remained higher than the pre-test (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Training using Kejar effectively enhances adolescents' knowledge and skills in anthropometry. These findings suggest that expanding the use of Kejar media to other communities could Improve adolescent nutrition literacy at a national level.

Abstract

Background: The increasing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has become a major public health concern due to its link with metabolic diseases, particularly Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).  Understanding the relationship between SSB consumption and the risk and progression of T2DM, particularly in adult populations, is crucial for developing targeted interventions. This scoping review aims to summarize observational studies that investigate the association between SSB consumption and T2DM risk and progression in adult populations. Methods: This scoping review included nine studies published between 2017 and 2023. The inclusion criteria were studies that involved adult populations (≥18 years) and explored the relationship between SSB consumption and T2DM. Databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar were searched using keywords like ‘sugar-sweetened beverages,’ ‘type 2 diabetes,’ and ‘adult,’ and ‘progression.’ Results: The studies reviewed consistently showed a positive association between frequent SSB consumption and the risk of developing T2DM. Overall, the evidence supports that SSBs contribute significantly to the incidence and progression of T2DM, often through weight gain and increased insulin resistance. Conclusion: This review shows the strong association between SSBs and T2DM, urgent public health interventions are needed to regulate consumption, particularly among high-risk groups.  Future research was needed to examine the long-term impact of SSB on diabetes.
