Abstract

Dehydration can impair the operation of the body's organs and cause mortality because the human body is 60% water. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors related to hydration status. This study using a cross-sectional research design in a descriptive-analytical study. The study was conducted in the Nutrition Department of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara. The study was conducted from September to October 2020.  99 students were chosen at random to participate in the study. Respondent characteristics, physical activity, nutritional status, body composition, fluid intake, and hydration status were among the information gathered. Subject follow-up was carried out for 7 consecutive days. Positive relationships and significance between dietary status (p < 0,014), total body water (p < 0,018), muscle mass (p < 0,012), level of exercise (p < 0,003), and total fluid intake (p < 0,044) were found in the results of the multiple regression test. Additionally, a negative association and significance between visceral fat (p < 0,03) and body fat (p < 0,016) is discovered. Based on the test's findings, a determination coefficient with a value of 85,5% was calculated, meaning that 85,5% of factors influencing hydration status include dietary habits, body composition, visceral fat, total body water, muscle mass, level of exercise, and total fluid intake. Conclusion, nutritional status, total body water, muscle mass, physical activity, and overall fluid intake all have a positive correlation with hydration status. However, there was shown to be a negative correlation between body fat and visceral fat and hydration status.

Abstract

The two main factors associated with infectious diseases are the presence of antigens that enter the body and the immune system. It has been recently reported that vitamin D may be associated with the immune system. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between blood vitamin D levels and the occurrence of COVID-19 infection. This study used a cross-sectional approach for analytical survey research. The population in this study were all lecturers at Malahayati University. The total population participating in this study was 62 lecturers at Malahayati University. Direct competitive chemiluminescence immunoassays were used to measure vitamin D levels, while interviews collected other variables. Logistic regression analysis has been used to analyze the collected data. Results: There was a significant relationship between vitamin D levels and the incidence of COVID-19 infection (p= 0,020; OR= 4,9) & the habit of always wearing long clothes for more than 10 years is significantly related to blood vitamin D levels (p= 0,021; OR= 5,07). In conclusion, the lower the vitamin D level, the greater the risk of being infected with COVID-19, and the longer you wear long clothes, the higher the risk of having low blood vitamin D levels.

Abstract

Inappropriate breastfeeding, complementary feeding and repeated infections are direct causes of stunting in children under two years of age.  The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between history of breastfeeding and history of infection with stunting in children living in rural areas who were between the ages of 6 and 24 months old. The research was conducted using a case control study, carried out in the working area of Puring Health Center in 2021 using a sample of 43 children aged 6-24 months taken by simple random sampling. The data were gathered through anthropometric measurements of child’s body length and mother’s height, questionnaire interviews for history of breastfeeding and infection, and the examination of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) book. The chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were utilized in the analysis that was carried out.  The final results suggested that stunting was caused by gender (p=  0,032), mothers’s height (p= 0,032), and food parenting pattern aged 6-8 months (p= 0,026). Food parenting pattern aged 6-8 months was the most dominant factor associated with stunting (p=0,026 AOR 5,17 95% CI:1,22-21,95). In conclusion, gender, mother’s height, and food parenting pattern aged 6-8 months were significantly associated with stunting.

Abstract

Consumption of vegetables and fruit in school-age children, which is still less than the recommended five servings/day in 2018, can increase the risk of nutritional problems in children due to low fiber consumption, leading to obesity. High-fiber snacks made from local food can be a solution. However, the availability is still limited. This research aims to develop snack products from chayote, dragon fruit peel, and Kepok banana peel. This quasi-experimental study was conducted from April 2021 to August 2022 at Saraswanti Indo Genetech Chemistry Laboratorium in Bogor. The sample consists of moderately trained  panelists, as many as 30 people. There were four concentration formulations of chayote, dragon fruit peel, and Kepok banana peel. Data were analyzed using One Way Anova and followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The result shows significant differences in color (p= 0,000), taste (p= 0,000), texture  (p= 0,000), and overall preference level between formulations (p= 0,002). The selected F2 contains a water content of 18,25%, ash content of 3,12%, protein of 2,82%, fat of 0,28%, carbohydrates of 75,53%, dietary fiber of 10,48 %, and a total plate count of 30 colonies/g. In conclusion, the F2 tends to be more liked by the panelists and can be considered high in fiber.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition in which a child experiences growth disturbances so that the child's height is lower or shorter than the standard age. One of the efforts to prevent stunting is by providing assistance to pregnant women. Cadres as the spearhead of health workers who are near pregnant women and mothers with toddlers are expected to be able to monitor pregnant women and mothers with toddlers in efforts to prevent stunting. This study aims to analyze the evaluation of the performance of cadres in efforts to prevent stunting. The study used qualitative methods with in-depth interviews with four key informants and focus group discussions . In-depth interviews were conducted with 4 health cadres, and a Focus Group Discussion involving the  Leaders of Organization of regional apparatus for family planning affairs , District Bappeda, Village Government, Health Center and  Nutrition service staff. The data is then processed through the content analysis method. The data is then reduced through a coding process, summarized and drilled into partitions or sections that focus on questions. The results of the study show that, until now there has been no specific program in the context of efforts to prevent stunting to be carried out by cadres, even though there are currently various types of cadres besides health cadres who are known to be at posyandu, there are also other cadres who formed for the prevention of stunting, however, the implementation of the tasks has not been maximized because there is no specific program that is used as a reference in carrying out the tasks. In conclusion, that the performance of cadres is currently not optimal and focused on efforts to prevent stunting.

Abstract

Hypertension, if left untreated, causes complications in important organs such as the heart, eyes, kidneys, and brain. Tomatoes and sweet oranges have benefits in lowering blood pressure, but these two food ingredients have not been combined to be used as food ingredients in lowering blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of tomato and sweet orange juice on blood pressure in employees at the office of the PT Agri Andalas Seluma Regency. The research design was a pre-experiment with pre-and post-test designs. The subjects were employees at PT Agri Andalas, totaling 15 people, conducted by purposive sampling. The treatment was given a combination of juice in the form of 150 g of tomatoes and sweet orange juice as much as 50 ml then given, and water was added as much as 50 ml so as to produce a combination of tomato and sweet orange juice as much as 250 ml. The intervention was performed for 7 days. Results: The systolic blood pressure from136,1 mmHg decreased from 131,4 mmHg. Likewise in diastolic blood pressure, there was a change from 86,3 mmHg to 81,8 mmHg. There was a difference in systolic (p= 0,001) and diastolic (p= 0,001) blood pressure before and after treatment with a combination of tomato and sweet orange juice.  In conclusion, the combination of tomatoes and sweet orange juice lowered blood pressure. The juice combination can be used as a functional food as an alternative for lowering blood pressure.

Abstract

Moringa leaves are plants that have antioxidants and are rich in nutritional value. Panelists said they liked the aroma and taste parameters of dried moringa noodles by adding moringa leaf extract using the pressing method. Adding garlic is needed to cover the aroma and taste because garlic has a distinctive and robust flavor component. The purpose was to improve the taste of dried moringa noodles by adding garlic extract. This experimental research was a completely randomized design. Dried moringa noodles were obtained by adding garlic extract concentrations of 0% (F0), 5%(F1), 10%(F2), and 15%(F3). The hedonic test used 30 untrained panelists with parameters of taste, aroma, color, and texture. The hedonic data were tested for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, followed by the ANOVA nova test. If there was a significant difference, continued by the Duncan test with 95% CI. The results of the hedonic test of dry moringa noodles with the addition of garlic extract for taste (p=0,000) showed panelists preferred dry moringa noodles F1 and aroma (p=0,113), color (p=0,104), and texture (p=0,081) there was no significant difference for the treatment of adding garlic extract. F1 dry moringa noodles are safe to use as a food ingredient and contain nutritional value. In conclusion, adding garlic extract can improve the taste of dry moringa noodles (F1).

Abstract

Overnutrition among school-aged children increases substantially over the last decade. Among the direct causes of overweight/obesity is inadequate intake of fruit and vegetable. Prior studies have shown that fruit and vegetable (FV) is not merely the main source of vitamins andminerals, but also playing role on preventing weight gain through satiety regulation. This study aims to determine the association of FV consumption adequacy among 5-12 years schoolers and their overnutrition status. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Jakarta and Depok, carried out on 57 children who filled out an online questionnaire survey. Respondents’ characteristics were obtained through the self-administered online questionnaire. BMI for age z-score (BAZ) was calculated from the self-reported recall of body weight and height. The FV consumption was evaluated using the WHO STEP-wise questionnaire. Respondent’s characteristics were presented in frequency and percentage, while association test was done using Fisher Exact test (CI 95%). In this study, 40,4% of children were overweight and most children did not consume adequate portions of fruit and vegetable (73,7% and 57,9%, respectively). There are no significant association between FV consumption and children’s overnutrition (p= 0,171 and p= 0,788, respectively; CI 95%). Overall, a high proportion of children overnutrition was observed. However, there is no significant association was found between fruit and vegetable consumption and children’s overnutrition. There is a need for specific regulations and practices that may engage children in consuming fruit and vegetable on the daily basis.

Abstract

Stunting is not only related to health problems, but it is related to various other conditions that do not directly affect health, such as low productivity of human resources. The right policy implementation model will greatly assist in preventing stunting in society. This study aimed to model the convergence of local government policies in stunting prevention efforts by paying attention to organizational and inter-organizational behavior, lower control behavior, and target group behaviour. The study used a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 informants, while the secondary data came from the relevant regional apparatus organizations data. Then it was analyzed in several stages, namely the stage of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of this study were that behaviour and between organizations form a commitment to contribute to stunting prevention, then at the behavioural level the organization really understood the role and function in carrying out stunting prevention and control programs, and the behaviour of the target group showed different responses positively and negatively. So that, it could be concluded consistency of policy implementers must determine shared commitments and common goals in stunting prevention.
