Abstract

Menopause is a natural biological transition marked by declining estrogen levels and often accompanied by physical and psychological symptoms, including anxiety. More than half of women report significant anxiety during this stage, highlighting the need for safe, accessible interventions. Soy milk, rich in isoflavones functioning as phytoestrogens, offers potential as a non-pharmacological alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of soy milk consumption on anxiety levels in menopausal women. Using a pre-test and post-test experimental design, 30 menopausal women aged 45–60 years were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of daily consumption of 200 ml soy milk for four weeks. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) before and after intervention, with data analyzed using a paired t-test (p<0.05). Results showed a significant reduction in anxiety scores from 26.40±7.85 to 18.10±6.30 (mean difference 8.30, p=0.000). Prior to intervention, 66.7% of respondents experienced moderate to severe anxiety, while post-intervention 76.7% were categorized as none to mild. These findings suggest that soy milk effectively reduces anxiety in menopausal women through phytoestrogenic stabilization of hormonal fluctuations. Soy milk can be recommended as a safe, affordable complementary strategy, with further research needed to confirm long-term effects and optimal dosage.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries where prevalence reaches 38%. Iron deficiency is the leading cause, contributing to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as preterm delivery, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. Compliance with iron supplementation is critical, yet data from North Sulawesi indicate that only 60% of pregnant women adhere to recommended intake. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between compliance with Fe tablet consumption and anemia incidence among pregnant women at the Suluun Community Health Center, South Minahasa. Using a cross-sectional design, 100 respondents were selected via purposive sampling based on Slovin’s formula. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing compliance and demographics, alongside hemoglobin measurements to determine anemia status. Statistical analysis employed Chi-Square and logistic regression tests. Results showed that 56.7% of respondents were compliant, while 43.3% were non-compliant. A significant relationship was found between compliance and anemia incidence (p=0.004), with 76.9% of non-compliant women experiencing anemia compared to 23.5% of compliant women. These findings highlight the importance of education, family support, and healthcare access in improving adherence to iron supplementation. Strengthening health programs targeting these factors is essential to reduce anemia prevalence among pregnant women.

Abstract

Menstrual cycle irregularities are a prevalent reproductive health issue among adolescent girls, often linked to dietary imbalances that contribute to hormonal disruption and nutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and menstrual cycles among female students at Ambassador High School. A cross-sectional design was employed with stratified random sampling, involving 30 female students. Data were collected using structured questionnaires covering dietary patterns (frequency, food types, nutritional intake, and eating habits) and menstrual cycle characteristics (regularity, duration, and complaints). The Chi-Square test was used to assess associations between variables at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results indicated that 56.7% of respondents had unbalanced diets characterized by high fast-food consumption, low fruit and vegetable intake, and frequent meal skipping. Menstrual cycle irregularities were reported in 60% of respondents. Statistical analysis revealed a Chi-Square value of 4.420 with a p-value of 0.035, confirming a significant relationship between diet and menstrual cycle. Cross-tabulation showed that 76.5% of students with unbalanced diets experienced irregular cycles compared to 38.5% with balanced diets. These findings highlight the importance of nutrition education and healthy food provision in schools to support adolescent reproductive health.
