Abstract

Uncontrolled anemia leads to a decline in hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte blood indices, posing various health risks. To address this, a study aimed to assess the effectiveness of cava smoothies and iron supplementation in boosting hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte indices among anemic adolescent girls. The study involved 87 adolescent girls with moderate anemia, divided into three groups. The control group (C) received weekly iron tablets (60 mg), while two intervention groups (I1 and I2) were given the same iron tablets along with cava smoothies in increasing doses over 28 days. The results revealed significant improvements in hemoglobin levels. Group C showed an increase of 0.27 g/dL, while I1 and I2 demonstrated remarkable gains of 1.46 g/dL and 2.54 g/dL, respectively. Furthermore, erythrocyte indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC) exhibited positive changes. Group C saw increases of 0.35 fl, 0.34 pg, and 0.27 g/dL, I1 showed improvements of 0.69 fl, 0.61 pg, and 0.64 g/dL, and I2 experienced substantial enhancements of 1.97 fl, 1.61 pg, and 1.60 g/dL. In conclusion, the study confirmed that cava smoothies and iron supplementation effectively raise hemoglobin levels and improve erythrocyte indices in anemic adolescent girls, highlighting the potential benefits of this intervention for combating anemia.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, with increasing prevalence, particularly among the elderly. Genetic and lifestyle factors are believed to contribute to the development of hypertension. This study aimed to examine the relationship between age, family history of hypertension, and smoking behavior with the incidence of hypertension among adults. This cross-sectional study involved 74 adult respondents in Kalibagor Subdistrict, Banyumas Regency. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The analysis showed that older age (OR = 3.866; 95% CI: 1.351–11.059) and family history of hypertension (OR = 3.682; 95% CI: 1.974–7.950) were significantly associated with hypertension. Smoking behavior was not significantly associated with hypertension (p > 0.05). Age and family history of hypertension are dominant factors contributing to the incidence of hypertension. Preventive and promotive efforts should focus on high-risk groups to reduce the prevalence of hypertension in the community.

Abstract

The high consumption of refined sugar in Indonesia increases the risk of non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Education on healthier natural sweeteners, like palm sugar, is needed to improve public food literacy. Palm sugar, derived from coconut or palm sap, contains minerals (potassium, magnesium, iron) and has a lower glycemic index compared to refined sugar, making it a potential alternative natural sweetener. This community service aimed to increase public knowledge of palm sugar's nutritional benefits and encourage behavioral change to reduce refined sugar consumption. The participatory learning and action (PLA) method was used, consisting of preparation, education, and evaluation stages. Education included interactive lectures, demonstrations, and group discussions. Evaluation was done with pre-test and post-test questionnaires and observation of interest in palm sugar use. Results showed a 56.7% increase in participants' knowledge after the education. Most participants also expressed willingness to replace refined sugar with palm sugar in their daily diet.
