Abstract

Older adults are a vulnerable group prone to degenerative diseases and decline in quality of life, often characterized by geriatric syndromes such as frailty. Nutritional intervention plays an important role in addressing these challenges. However, evidence of the effectiveness of dietary programs combined with structured nutrition education in nursing homes remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the “Bijak Garam” program, a combination of a low-salt diet and nutrition education, on the dietary intake, blood biomarkers, physical function, and health status of older adults. A quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pre-post, one-group design with purposive sampling involving 100 participants. Dietary intake was assessed using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), physical function was measured using handgrip strength and the FRAIL scale, and blood biomarkers were analyzed using standard laboratory methods. Data were analyzed using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The Bijak Garam intervention effectively improved dietary intake and reduced HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride, and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0,05), while HDL levels increased significantly (p < 0,05). Most of the participants preferred plant-based protein sources. These findings demonstrate that the Bijak Garam program can improve dietary patterns and several health indicators among older adults, with the potential to be implemented more widely in geriatric nutritional interventions and public health policies.

Abstract

Background: In 2018, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia was 30.8%, which has led to renewed focus on targeted interventions. Although specific measures such as exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and immunization have been prioritized, achieving optimal coverage remains a challenge. Limited knowledge has been identified as a potential barrier to the interventions. This study acknowledges the effectiveness of internet platforms in providing stunting prevention information.  Objectives: To analyze search interest trends for exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and immunization from 2018 to 2022 using Google Trends. Methods: Google Trends was used to analyze search trends for the keywords 'exclusive breastfeeding', 'complementary feeding', and 'immunization' in Indonesia and three provinces with the highest number of searches, namely Central Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara, Southeast Sulawesi, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Bangka Belitung, and Bengkulu. The data were compared with the prevalence of stunting and coverage of interventions.   Discussion: Searches for exclusive breastfeeding tended to be stable, while searches for complementary feeding and immunization tended to spike at certain times. Analysis of the provinces with the highest number of searches showed that the high search volume did not necessarily correspond to the trends in the performance of interventions in the regions. Conclusions: Searches for 'exclusive breastfeeding', 'complementary feeding', and 'immunization' from 2018 to 2022 showed different trends. It's impossible to compare the data with the prevalence of stunting because of different trends. However, the data on search interest can illustrate community perceptions and practices around these interventions.
