Abstract

Aceh is the province with the fifth-highest prevalence of stunting in Indonesia by 2022, which could be due to the low coverage of specific and sensitive intervention programs. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the Rumoh Gizi Gampong (RGG) program in increasing the coverage of specific and sensitive indicators for reducing stunting in Aceh. A cross-sectional design was carried out in Aceh Province from February to September 2023. The input, process, and output variables for RGG implementation were collected using interview methods with 21 RGG program managers and 23 people in charge of district nutrition programs. Specific and sensitive indicator achievements were collected using secondary data from district reports for the years 2020 and 2021. Data analysis was performed using a Dependent T-test at a confidence level of 95%. The results showed that there was an increase in the average percentage coverage of specific and sensitive indicators after the RGG program was implemented, and only the immunization coverage indicator was implemented using the yard. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significant increase in the percentage of coverage of the health insurance service coverage indicator (p= 0,006). In conclusion, the Rumoh Gizi Gampong program can increase the coverage of indicators to accelerate stunting reduction, so that villages can make RGG an alternative intervention to accelerate stunting reduction.

Abstract

Chemical compounds found in coffee are good for health, but most Indonesians often consume coffee with added ingredients, such as sugar and milk. Thus, it will potentially increase the risk of obesity. This study aimed to analyze coffee consumption habits with added ingredients and their correlation with the incidence of obesity among female students in Semarang. The research design was cross-sectional, with 77 female students randomly selected.    This study was conducted from March to April 2021 in Semarang. All data collection process was conducted online. Data on coffee consumption habits, the kind of added ingredients, and the number of allowances were obtained through questionnaires. Furthermore, the food intake data were obtained from the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), physical activity data from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and anthropometric data through self-anthropometric measurement guided by the researcher. Data were analyzed by the Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression test at a 95% CI. There was a relationship between coffee consumption habits and obesity according to the body mass index (p= 0,014), waist circumference (p= 0,001), and waist-hip ratio (p= 0,001). The multivariate analysis showed that the frequent consumption of coffee with added ingredients was correlated with the incidence of abdominal obesity based on waist circumference and waist-hip circumference ratio. It can be concluded that coffee consumption with added ingredients was correlated with the incidence of obesity.

Abstract

Stunting is still a significant public health problem in Indonesia. The interaction between the inadequacy of feeding practices and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) are the direct causes of stunting. The study aimed to assess the relationship between WASH and child feeding patterns with stunting among children aged 6-23 months. The study used a cross-sectional design conducted in July-August 2022 in the working area of Simbang Community Health Center, Maros Regency. Samples of 90 children aged 6-23 months were selected by simple random sampling. Data on sociodemographic, WASH and feeding patterns were collected by interview using a questionnaire. Stunting was measured by a height-for-age z-score. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and Logistic Regression. The results showed that the prevalence of stunting was 31,1%. Mother's age <20 years, low maternal height, sex of child, non-exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding started, the poor sewage management and availability of latrines related to stunting (p<0,05). Multivariate test results showed low maternal height (p=0,005; OR=21,015), sex of child (p=0,001; OR=22,332), poor sewage management (p=0,008; OR=10,992), and non-exclusive breastfeeding (p=0,002; OR=20,509) has a significant effect on stunting. In conclusion, the WASH and inadequacy of feeding practices contribute to stunting.

Abstract

Overweight adolescents’ low knowledge of balanced nutrition is a problem that needs attention. If such a problem is left unchecked, overweight adolescents have a higher risk of suffering from various health problems. Efforts are needed to increase overweight adolescents’ nutrition knowledge, including through the provision of nutrition education using educational media. The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in knowledge after being given nutrition education using e-booklets and lectures. This study was conducted at SMAN 4 and SMAN 7 Banjarmasin in September 2022. This study  was an experimental research with a quasi-experimental design with pre-test – post-test control group. The sample in this study was selected by purposive sampling technique, namely 64 overweight students divided into two groups, namely nutrition education with e-booklets accompanied by lectures and nutrition education with lectures only. The intervention was carried out 4 times in one month and each meeting took 55 minutes. Data on differences between pretest and posstest were analysed by paired T Test and data on differences between education groups were analysed by Independent T Test. Results, there were differences in pretest and posttest nutritional knowledge in groups given nutrition education with e-booklet media and lectures (p=0,000) and there are differences in groups given nutrition education with lectures only (p=0,001). There was a significant difference effect between the provision of nutrition education in both education groups (p=0,002). In conclusion, providing nutrition education with e-booklet media combined with lectures can improve knowledge about balanced nutrition for overweight adolescents more effectively than lectures.

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia is increasing. A significant risk factor for developing DM is central obesity. Lifestyles, including diet and physical activity, strongly influence the high prevalence of DM and obesity. The study aimed to analyze the association between unhealthy food consumption and physical activity among adults with central obesity in Indonesia. This study used secondary data from Riskesdas 2018 with a cross-sectional design. The subjects in this study were adults (≥ 19 years old) with central obesity. A total of 7493 subjects were included in the analysis. Food intake data were taken using a validated FFQ, and physical activity using the GPAQ questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Frequent consumption of sweet foods (p=0,001, OR=1,235), sweetened beverages (p=0,042, OR=1,157), carbonated drinks (p=0,001, OR=1,324), instant noodles (p<0,001, OR=1,845), salty foods (p<0,001, OR=1,669), seasoning (p<0,001, OR=1,514), processed meats  (p=0,009, OR=1,199), fatty foods (p<0,001, OR=1,687), and grilled foods (p<0,001, OR=1,243) were positively associated with the incidence of DM among adults with central obesity after adjusted with confounding variables. Low physical activity  increased the incidence of DM among adults with central obesity in the unadjusted model (p=1,161, OR=1,161). In conclusion, there is a relationship between the consumption of unhealthy foods and physical activity with the incidence of DM in Indonesian adults with central obesity.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is a new challenge for the implementation of stunting intervention in Indonesia. Therefore, monitoring the stunting program implementation during a pandemic is crucial to achieving the target of stunting reduction. This research aims to examine the pandemic’s impacts on the implementation of specific and sensitive programs, especially posyandu, iron supplementation, PMT, and Sustainable Food Program(SFG). Method, qualitative research uses a Case-Study with 17 informants selected by purposive sampling, including the stakeholders and program’s target in the working area of Tempel 2 Health Center.  Data in the form of interview transcripts and other documents were collected using in-depth interviews and documentation studies in November-December 2021 and were analyzed in 3 stages: reduction, presentation, and conclusion. Result, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected specific nutrition interventions, especially in the planning, implementation, and scope of activities. It relates to social difficulties and concerns over the spread of COVID-19. In the implementation of SFG program, the pandemic does not have a significant impact. It can be interpreted that COVID-19 pandemic affects several aspect of the stunting program’s implementation. This study suggests the stakelhoders and communities to optimize the implementation of stunting intervention so it can run sustainably to reduce stunting prevalences.

Abstract

Studies report skeletal muscle fatigue during repeated intense muscle contractions resulting from depletion of energy substrates, and accumulation of metabolic. Creatine kinase (CK) and lactic acid are enzymes that are directly related to energy metabolism. This study aims to analyze the differences of soy tempeh milk and soy tempeh yogurt on fatigue indicators, namely CK levels and lactic acid in subjects induced by maximum exercise. The subjects of this study used experimental animals, namely white rats with a total sample of 28 rats. The dose of soy tempeh milk and soy tempeh yogurt given was 4,2 ml/BW of rats while the soy tempeh yogurt was given was 4,4 ml/BW, each containing 3 grams of tempeh. Blood samples were tested using the Elisa method and the results were analyzed using SPSS version 20. The results of this study showed significant changes in serum CK and lactic acid after being given the intervention of soy tempeh milk and tempeh yogurt (p<0,05). Soy tempeh milk and soybean tempeh yogurt significantly suppressed the increase in CK and lactic acid in rats induced by maximum exercise. Both provide protein containing BCAAs which are a source of energy during exercise. Further clinical trials are needed to determine the effectiveness, safety, and side effects of soy tempeh milk or soy tempeh yogurt when given to humans.
