Abstract

Background: Obesity is a severe global public health problem linked to chronic noncommunicable disease and increased mortality. It has harmful effects on metabolic disorders via the insulin resistance pathway. Available guidelines recommend caloric reduction via intermittent fasting for obesity management. However, the available literature is less focused on the benefits of intermittent fasting on improved insulin resistance in healthy obese adults, especially related to an accumulation of free fatty acids. Therefore, a scoping review is necessary. Objective: This review aims to collect evidence on the benefits of intermittent fasting on improved insulin resistance in healthy obese adults. Methods: This scoping review followed the 5-step Arksey and O'Malley framework and was submitted following PRISMA ScR. Five electronic databases were thoroughly searched. Papers are included if they are eligible. The result was a synthesis of descriptive and narrative elements. Results: 1117 papers were collected in total. Nine randomized controlled trial studies met the review's inclusion criteria. The papers included are sourced from reputable, relevant sources. As a whole, intermittent fasting appears to benefit improved insulin resistance in healthy obese adults. Intermittent fasting has been shown to reduce insulin levels while increasing insulin sensitivity, therefore improving insulin resistance. Conclusion: Evidence suggests that intermittent fasting can help improve insulin resistance in healthy obese adults.

Abstract

The trend of unhealthy eating and the careless consumption of snacks among elementary school children remains a major nutritional issue in various countries worldwide, including Indonesia. Children tend to choose food based on their preferences. The shift in trends toward consuming snacks carelessly negatively affects children's nutritional status and health. This activity aimed to increase students’ knowledge and awareness about the importance of choosing healthy snacks and avoiding careless snacking habits. Nutrition education on snacking carelessly was the main emphasis of the community service programs. Thirty-sixth-grade students from SDN Bandar Lor II participated in the activity. PowerPoint and leaflets were used to communicate the content. The education session lasted for one hour. Pre- and post-tests were used to evaluate the results. The results of the activity showed that the participants engaged in the event in a participatory and active manner. The nutrition education on snacking carelessly effectively increased the students' knowledge by 4.6 points. Interactive methods, the use of infographic media, and hands-on practice enhanced participation and motivation in the children's learning process. Nutrition education on snacking carelessly effectively increased the students' knowledge.
