Abstract

The government targets the prevalence of stunting to fall to 14,0%. Kuta Malaka is one of the sub-districts with the highest stunting in Aceh Besar which has priority villages for stunting intervention. The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to affect the nutritional status of children under five due to its impact on the determinants of nutritional status in daily life. This study aimed to determine the nutritional status of toddlers before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kuta Malaka, Aceh Besar. Observational analytical research using a cross-sectional design was conducted from November 1 to December 12, 2023. The research sample comprised 185 data points on the nutritional status of children under five years of age obtained from the Community-Based Nutrition Recording and Reporting system (e-PPGBM) of the Kuta Malaka Health Center, which was selected by simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Paired T-test and Wilcoxon test at 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Before the pandemic, 16, 43, and 126 toddlers were severely stunted, stunted, and 126 toddlers were normal. During the pandemic, 4 toddlers were severely stunted, 53 toddlers were stunted, and 128 toddlers were normal. As many as 14 severely stunted toddlers improved to stunted and normal during the pandemic, but there were no significant changes (p= 0,08). In conclusion, there was no significant change in the nutritional status (HAZ) of children under five before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kuta Malaka, Aceh Besar.

Abstract

Prediabetes is an intermediate stage of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). If left unresolved for 3-5 years, it can significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes mellitus. Body mass index (BMI) for age score (BAZ) is a key indicator of lifestyle choices that influence the risk of prediabetes. Objective: To investigate the interaction between BAZ and fasting blood glucose as a prediabetes indicator. The methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Senior High School 2 in Jambi City in 2019. A total of 140 participants aged 15-18 years were included, meeting criteria such as parental/guardian consent, willingness to participate, and fasting from 11 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Independent variables included a family history of diabetes mellitus, family history of obesity, consumption of carbohydrates, fats, sugary drinks, waist-to-height ratio, physical activity, and BMI. The dependent variable, prediabetes, was measured using fasting blood glucose with a spectrophotometer biochemical analyzer AE-600N at a wavelength of 500 nm. Data were analyzed using the chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression analysis, The results showed a significant interaction between BMI and prediabetes (p=0,026; OR=4,34) after confounding factor analysis of family history of diabetes (p=0,050; OR=3,00), physical activity (p=0,020; OR=5,012), and sugar-sweetened beverages (p=0,018; OR=4,21), even after adjusting for other independent variables. In conclusion, BAZ > 1 SD was the dominant factor associated with an increased risk of prediabetes.

Abstract

Stunting in children under the age of five is the result of a prolonged lack of nutritional intake or past malnutrition, such as feeding that does not meet nutritional needs. Maternal behavior during feeding is an important factor to consider. This study aimed to determine the effect of maternal behavior on the incidence of stunting in children aged 3-4 years. The research used a case-control design in the coastal area of the Aceh Jaya Health Center in May 2024. The sample was children aged 3-4 years as many as 69 children, divided into two groups, namely cases of stunted children and controls were normal children. Data were collected through interviews, using questionnaires, and anthropometric measurements of height and age. Data analysis was performed using the chi-squared test. Results: There was an influence between maternal behavior in feeding and the incidence of stunting in children (p = 0,039; OR = 2,9); thus, mothers with poor behavior had an increased risk of stunting in children by 2,9 times. In conclusion, maternal feeding behavior influences the incidence of stunting in children aged 3-4 years in the coastal area of the Aceh Jaya Health Center.

Abstract

The prevalence of cognitive function impairment increased from 2010 to 2020. Cognitive function declines in the form of memory, language, and action disorders. Cognitive function can be prevented by consuming protein and engaging in physical activity. This study aimed to determine the effect of protein intake on neurotransmitter synthesis, physical activity to increase brain protein, and sex related to metabolism on cognitive function in the elderly at Surakarta Health Center. The research design used observational analytics, with a cross-sectional approach. The research location at several health centers namely in Pajang, Jayengan, Gajahan, Sibela and Gambirsari. This study was conducted from January to February 2024. The sample was obtained by purposive sampling of 110 elderly people at the Surakarta City Health Center. Research data were obtained through interviews with a protein intake questionnaire (SQFFQ), physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), and cognitive function questionnaire using the Mini Mental State Examination questionnaire, which has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using the Ordinal Logistic Regression Test, with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The results showed that protein intake, physical activity, and sex had no effect on cognitive function (p>0,05). This was due to other factors that were not examined in this study. In conclusion, the decline in cognitive function can be improved by protein intake, which is related to neurotransmitters, and physical activity that is routinely performed can help proteins in the brain increase.

Abstract

Ready-to-eat foods are required immediately in disaster situations. Asam Keumamah is a ready-to-eat product that is not durable. Irradiation with asam keumamah extends the shelf life of the product,  reduces microbial load, and maintains nutrition. This study aimed to determine the microbiological quality and food safety of Asam Keumamah irradiated at different doses. The experimental research used a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) on Asam Keumamah samples that had been irradiated at doses of 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50 kGy and stored for 0, 1, 3, and 6 months at room temperature. The irradiation of Asam Keumamah was carried out at the Merah Putih Gamma Irradiator Merah Putih in the Puspitek area, Serpong, South Tangerang.  The total bacterial test on all samples using TPC was conducted at the Balai Perikanan Budidaya Air Payau Ujung Bate (BPBAP-UB) Aceh Besar Laboratory. Data were analyzed using factorial Anova test and Duncan’s test at 95% CI. The results showed that the irradiation dose had a significant effect on the number of bacteria (p<0,05), the storage period had no significant effect on the number of bacteria (p>0,05), and the interaction between irradiation dose and storage period had a significant effect on the number of Asam Keumamah bacteria (p=0,0001). This study concluded that the higher the irradiation dose, the lower the number of bacteria and durability.

Abstract

Grade II Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in children often leads to symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, extended hospital stay, and delayed recovery. Proper nutrition is essential for managing these symptoms and supporting recovery. Mothers play a critical role in fulfilling their children’s nutritional needs. This study explored the role of mothers in meeting the nutritional needs of children with Grade II DHF in the Pediatric Ward at Meuraxa Hospital Banda Aceh municipality. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from three mothers whose children were treated for two weeks, from admission to discharge, during the study period in August 2021. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, and medical records and then analyzed through thematic content analysis focusing on education, caregiving, and nurturing. The results showed that, while mothers followed hospital feeding schedules, they faced difficulties in encouraging their children to eat because of their low appetite. They fostered a supportive environment using storytelling and praise but avoided discussing meal nutrition, assuming that their children were too young to understand. In conclusion, mothers demonstrated strong caregiving. Challenges include limited nutritional knowledge and difficulty in making the food appealing. Enhancing maternal knowledge and feeding strategies can support faster recovery of children with DHF.

Abstract

The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia among adults in 2007 – 2023 has continued to increase from 10,5% to 23,4%. The causes of obesity are multifactorial, but those that have an essential role are diet and lifestyle. Weight gain is associated with unhealthy food intake, a lack of physical activity, and poor sleep quality. This study aimed to analyze the associations of AHEI (Alternative Healthy Eating Index), sedentary lifestyle, and sleep quality with the incidence of obesity. This research used a cross-sectional study among subjects aged more than or equal to 40 years, involving 153 subjects in Semarang in February 2024 and using purposive sampling. AHEI data were collected through an interview process using the SQ-FFQ in days to years, sedentary lifestyle using the SBQ in a week, and sleep quality using the PSQI in a month. Fisher’s exact and chi-square tests were used for bivariate analysis, whereas logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis. The results showed that a sedentary lifestyle on weekdays and weekends was associated with the incidence of obesity (p=0,000; OR=8,014) and (p=0,000; OR=18,516, respectively). In conclusion, a sedentary lifestyle is associated with incidence of obesity, while AHEI and sleep quality are not associated with incidence of obesity.

Abstract

Dangkes contain lactic acid bacteria that improve obesity by controlling the intestinal flora, improving the micro-ecological balance in the gut, and boosting the immune system. This study aimed to analyze the differences in serum TNF-α and liver SOD levels in obese rats fed a Dangke diet. The research was conducted from December to January 2024 at the PSPG PAU UGM using a true-experiment design post-test with only the control group. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=30) were randomly divided into five groups: healthy rats (KS), obese rats given standard feeding (K-), obese rats received L-Bio (K+), obese rats were given Dangke at a low dose (P1), and obese rats received Dangke at a high dose (P2). Intervention for 28 days. Data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA tests and further post-hoc Bonferroni tests.  The result obtainded that Dangke with dose dose of 3,6 g/200 gBB was effective in decreasing TNF-α levels and increasing SOD levels (p<0,05). P2 had the lowest mean TNF-α level (7,33 ± 0,22) compared to K+ (8,59 ± 0,22) and P1 (8,88 ± 0,18). P2 had the highest SOD levels compared to K+ (62,56 ± 4,06) and P1 (61,47 ± 4,71).  In conclusion, Dangke effectively overcame inflammation and oxidative stress in obesity.
