Abstract

Stunting is a condition of failure or a child's growth process that is not following their age. Many factors can cause children to experience stunting both in terms of health and outside health, such as economic conditions, nutritional status experienced by mothers during pregnancy, malnutrition, and improper feeding and care early in life. The study aimed to determine pregnancy and birth history as risk factors for stunting in children aged 24-59 months. The study used a case-control design, with the number of subjects being 176 children, calculating subjects using total sampling techniques on case subjects and matching on control subjects. The research was conducted at the Pangkalan Balai Health Center, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, in 2022. Data was collected for one month and then analyzed using the chi-square test and Logistic Regression. The results showed that parental income (p= 0,034; OR= 2,571), early marriage (p= 0,001; OR= 2,760), maternal age at pregnancy (p= 0,003; OR= 2,692), nutritional status at pregnancy (p=0,020; OR=2,080), birth length (p= 0,001; OR= 6,633) and birth weight (p= 0,044; OR= 3,632) are risk factors for stunting. The most influential determinant factor was the birth length. Conclusion, parental income, early marriage, age at risk of pregnancy, nutritional status of pregnant women, birth length, and birth weight are risk factors for stunting in children aged 24-59 months at Pangkalan Balai Health Center.

Abstract

The prevalence of stunting is still high in urban areas. Maternal factors such as height, education, occupation, antenatal visits, and nutritional status have increased stunting in urban areas. The study aims to analyze the maternal factors that influence the incidence of stunting among children aged 24-59 months in urban areas. The case-control design study was conducted in May-July 2019 in Pasuruan City. Samples of 67 cases (HAZ < -2SD) and 67 controls (HAZ > -2SD) were selected by simple random sampling. Data on children's age, gender, birth order, education, occupation, pregnancy classes, and antenatal visits were collected by interviewing respondents using a questionnaire. Data on birth weight, maternal age during pregnancy, maternal upper arm circumference during pregnancy, and maternal height were obtained from the MCH Handbook. The chi-square test and Logistic Regression were used for data analysis. The results showed that the maternal nutritional status during pregnancy was associated with the incidence of stunting in urban areas (p= 0,010). In contrast, children's age, gender, birth order, birth weight, maternal age during pregnancy, maternal height, education, occupation, pregnancy classes, and antenatal visits were not associated (p> 0,05). The incidence of stunting was 3,37 times higher in mothers with MUAC < 23,5 cm during pregnancy (OR= 3,37). In conclusion, maternal nutritional status during pregnancy is the main predictor of stunting among children aged 24-59 months in urban areas.

Abstract

Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) are a plant that contains many multi-nutrients, especially Fe, folate, Ca, and phosphorus. Moringa leaves contain iron which is an essential element for forming hemoglobin. This study aims to determine the effect of giving Moringa leaf biscuits on the hemoglobin levels of anemic adolescent girls. This research is quantitative field research. This research was conducted at the Hufadzul Qur'an Al Asror Islamic Boarding School in Semarang in 2021 with a sample of 37 anemic adolescent girls. The sample used the total sampling method. Data were collected through interviews and 24-hour recall. Hb level examination through the Sahli method and BMI measurement based on weight and height. Statistical analysis was Paired sample t-test and Linear Regression test. The results showed that the average hemoglobin level of adolescent girls before the intervention was 10,8 g/dl, and the average hemoglobin level after the intervention was 12,9 g/dl. After the intervention, 33 respondents did not experience anemia, and four still had anemia. The respondents' average energy, protein, and iron intake was sufficient, with an energy intake of 2139 kcal/day, protein 63,1 g/day, and iron 23,1 mg/day. Statistical results showed a significant increase in hemoglobin levels before and after the intervention (p= 0,001). The conclusion is that giving Moringa leaf biscuits has an effect on the enhancement of hemoglobin levels of anemic adolescent girls.

Abstract

Biscuits with eel flour substitution contained high energy and protein. Food spoilage during storage is caused by water absorption from food storage. This study examines the effect of storage on the water content of biscuits and organoleptic quality. This research was a quasi-experiment conducted by laboratory analysis of the moisture content of biscuits with the addition of eel flour (Monoptherus albus zuieuw). The experiment was conducted at Jayapura Health Polytechnic Laboratory, consisting of 3 formulas (10, 20 and 30 grams) of eel flour substitution. They were packaged using PP plastic and glass jars. The observations were conducted for seven days at temperatures of -18°C and 45°C. Organoleptic test using 17 somewhat trained panellists. Analysis using Independent T-Test. The results showed that biscuits stored at -18°C experienced an increase in water content on the seventh day. Biscuits stored in plastic packaging have a higher water content than glass jars. There was no significant difference in the water content of biscuits stored in jars and plastics (p=0,631). Organoleptic analysis showed that on the sixth day, there was a change in the preference for taste and texture stored in plastic at temperatures of 45°C. In conclusion, there was no significant difference in the moisture content of the biscuits stored in glass or plastic jars. However, there was a decrease in preference on the sixth day of plastic packaging.

Abstract

Diet development today tends to lead to accelerated growth of chronic diseases. Obesity plays a negative role in the development of chronic disease. This risk factor also occurs in the aging process. The condition of organ tissue dysfunction and cell death that occurs with aging also occurs in obesity due to chronic inflammation. This study analyzes the beneficial effects of applying Calorie Restriction (CR) or Energy Restriction (PE) to achieve a long life span, especially in obese individuals. This article is a literature review study with qualitative analysis by searching the PubMed electronic database from February to July 2021 and searching for articles through Meta-analysis, Review, and Systematic Review. Six articles have high relevance. References obtained were compiled and reviewed by summarizing and analyzed by triangulation. Furthermore, examining previous research's pros and cons finally gives alternative solutions. The results of the study showed the application of the PE method by reducing daily energy consumption without causing the risk of malnutrition because it still considers an essential nutrient. In conclusion, the benefits of PE have an impact on slowing down aging molecularly. Slowing down the aging process can increase a person's life expectancy.

Abstract

Excessive physical exercise can stimulate proinflammatory cytokines expressions and increases high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP). Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and vitamins A, C, and E are antioxidant mechanisms to reduce oxidative stress. This study analyzes the correlation between vitamin A, C, E, and BCAA intake with hs-CRP. The study design was cross-sectional, which was conducted in Semarang. Participants were 48 men aged 20-43 years. Sampling used consecutive sampling. Data were collected using food recall 3x24h to assess dietary intake and laboratory tests using the Immunoturbidimetric method to determine hs-CRP levels. Data were statistically analyzed using Spearman-Rank and multiple linear regression. The result showed that the subject with high-risk categories of hs-CRP was 18,8%. The intake of BCAA was 10,8% from supplements. Most subjects had an excessive intake of vitamin A but did not meet the needs of vitamins C and E. There was no correlation between BCAA intake (p= 0,681) and vitamin C intake (p= 0,137) with hs-CRP levels. However, there was a negative correlation between vitamin A (p= 0,003) and vitamin E (p= 0,013) intake with hs-CRP levels. Multivariate analysis showed that the intake of vitamin A associated with hs-CRP levels of 8,1% (p= 0,028). In conclusion, vitamin A intake is the most influential factor in hs-CRP levels in fitness center members.

Abstract

Stunting children are still highly prevalent in Indonesia, especially in Magelang Regency, a stunting locus area. Stunting risk factors were multifactorial and closely related to maternal health and education. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between low birth weight (LBW), mother education and other risk factors with Magelang Regency stunting. This study used a case-control design and involved 328 children aged 24-59 months. The stunting group was 162 children, and the normal group was 166 children. Nutritional status was measured using median z-score height for age from WHO anthropometric standard. Children's birth weight was obtained from Maternal and Child Health books records. Other socio-demographic characteristics were obtained through interviews with mothers. The bivariate association was analyzed using Chi-square with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Multivariate analysis was carried out using logistic regression. The result showed that children who had a low birth weight of 7,418 higher risked being stunted (p= 0,000), and low mother education of 1,604 higher risked to be had stunted children (p= 0,041).  In conclusion, LBW and low mother education are Magelang's primary determinants of stunting.

Abstract

Low-income families' understanding of nutrition is still irrational because they still use myths about consumption that cause malnutrition in their children. It is exacerbated by the influence of advertising so that the behavior of family consumption patterns is systematically constructed. The research explores the transformation of consumer behavior that causes malnutrition and the role of nutrition capitalism in meeting nutritional needs. A qualitative study design using a critical paradigm was conducted in Makassar City in 2021. Research informants are urban low-income families. Data were collected using interviews and Focus Group Discussions and analyzed qualitatively. The result is that malnutrition in low-income families is caused by people's knowledge and tastes constructed by industrial power and leads people to consume industrial food. The transformation of consumption behavior of low-income families is caused by the operation of nutritional capitalism, which is present in various forms such as industrial processed food advertisements and franchise outlets. In conclusion, the consumption behavior of the poor is constructed by food and beverage capitalism. In addition, the advertising factor has an impact on nutritional capitalism.

Abstract

In type 2 diabetes mellitus, the pancreas can produce the hormone insulin, but the body has difficulty using it. The study aimed to prove the effect of black rice bran extract on MDA, SOD, and triglyceride in type 2 Diabetic Mellitus rats. The method is quasi-experimental with a pre-posttest randomized control group design in 2021. The intervention was given for 21 days to 42 male Wistar rats. MDA examination using the TBARs method, SOD examination using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Triglyceride examination using a spectrophotometer. Statistical analysis used Paired T-Test or Wilcoxon test and One-Way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis test. Descriptive research findings show that the intervention of black rice bran extract at a dose of 60 mg/200g reduced MDA in rats to 2,21 mmol/ml and triglycerides to 85,17 mg/dL. In addition, it can increase SOD to 69,67 units/ml. Almost the same as the intervention of metformin 9 mg/200 g body weight. However, statistically, no significant difference exists in the interventions carried out (p> 0,05). The study concluded a decrease in MDA, SOD, and triglyceride in rats, given the black rice bran extract intervention.
