Abstract

Fatigue is a risk factor that can reduce the health status of workers and cause accidents. Fatigue can be caused by inadequate energy and hydration levels. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of energy adequacy, hydration status, and work fatigue among fishermen in Puger Wetan Village in February to April 2024. This was a cross-sectional study of 106 fishermen.  The data collected were fisherman’s characteristics, Swedish Occupational Fatigue Index (SOFI), self-urine check card, and 2×24 hour food recall. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that more than half (54,7%) of the fishermen experienced moderate fatigue and mild dehydration (41,5%). In addition, the level of energy adequacy (p < 0,0001; r=-0,449) and hydration status (p= 0,003; r= 0,289) were correlated to occupational fatigue. The conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between energy sufficiency and hydration status to   occupational fatigue among fishermen. Fishermen are expected to focus on consuming a variety of foods with balanced nutrition and sufficient body fluid intake. Future research should explore other factors related to occupational fatigue, such as workload, job stress, shift work, and sleep quality.

Abstract

Lhokseumawe City still experiences the nutritional problems of being underweight, stunting, and wasting, so it is necessary to know the factors that cause it, especially in the Banda Sakti Health Center. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that affect the nutritional status of children aged 6-23 months according to the Composite Index of Anthropometry (CIAF). This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Banda Sakti Health Center in 2023. A total of 314 children aged 6-23 months were randomly selected. Data were collected via interviews, questionnaires, and anthropometric measurements (weight and height). Nutritional status data were processed using WHO Anthro 2005 software. Data were analyzed using the chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of growth failure in children at Banda Sakti Health Center was 23,2%. The determinants of growth failure were ANC (p=0,000; OR=20,8), birth weight (p=0,000; OR=8,44), complementary feeding diversity (p=0,000; OR=10,3), animal protein consumption (p=0,000; OR=17,23), and complete immunization (p=0,000; OR=4,41). Antenatal Care (ANC) examination was the dominant factor affecting the incidence of growth failure in children aged 6-23 months (OR= 20,8). In conclusion, incomplete ANC examination is the dominant factor associated with the incidence of growth failure in children aged 6-23 months at the Banda Sakti Health Center, Lhokseumawe City.

Abstract

The exclusive breastfeeding rate has declined, partly due to mothers' perceptions of inadequate breast milk production. Optimal nutrition is crucial to enhance breast milk production. This study aimed to develop instant pumpkin cream soup with moringa leaves, which contains beta-carotene, flavonoids, and phenols as galactagogues and supports meeting the nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers. Conducted from January to April 2024 in Bogor, West Java, the study used a Randomized Design (CRD) with moringa leaf concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 3%. A sensory evaluation by 35 semi-trained panelists indicated that the highest moringa concentration (F3) achieved the best taste, consistency, and overall acceptability scores. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in moisture and protein contents between fresh and instant cream soups (p<0,05). The selected formula contained 0,22 mg/g iron, antioxidant activity (IC50:167,79 ppm), 50,95 mg GAE/g total phenols, 20,33 mg QE/g total flavonoids, and 40,50 mcg/g beta-carotene, with a protein digestibility of 43,57%. One serving (25 g) of cream soup provided 5% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for breastfeeding mothers. In conclusion, cream soup formula with 3% moringa leaves was the most preferred, containing nutrients and antioxidants that support increased breast milk production and meet the nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by high levels of triglycerides, blood glucose, and blood pressure, along with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and central obesity. The TG/HDL-C ratio is a quick and cost-effective marker of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis. However, most studies on TG/HDL-C ratio in Indonesia have been limited to adolescent populations with distinct metabolic profiles and health risks. This study aimed to assess the correlation between metabolic syndrome risk and TG/HDL-C ratio as a marker of atherosclerosis risk in adolescents. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Batik 1 Senior High School Surakarta from October 2023 to March 2024. A total of 65 adolescents were selected using simple random sampling. The observed data included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL-C, metabolic syndrome risk, and atherosclerosis risk. Pearson and Spearman correlation tests were used for statistical analysis. The results showed A significant correlation was observed between TG/HDL-C ratio and atherosclerosis risk (p= 0,000), waist circumference (p= 0,009), systolic blood pressure (p= 0,001), and diastolic blood pressure (p= 0,000). However, no significant correlation was found between fasting blood glucose level (p= 0,905) and BAZ (p= 0,405). In conclusion, TG/HDL-C ratio can serve as a valuable indicator for assessing metabolic syndrome risk in adolescents, allowing for early intervention to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.

Abstract

Protein-energy wasting (PEW) in hemodialysis patients can cause weight loss, muscle mass, physical strength, and biochemistry. Adequate protein intake during hemodialysis is essential to reduce catabolic effects and improve nutritional status. This study aimed to analyze the effects of high-protein snack consumption on nutrient intake (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus), nutritional status (BMI, Hb, and muscle mass), and handgrip strength. Methods: This study was conducted from August to September 2024 at Alimuddin Umar Hospital in West Lampung using a quasi-experimental design with a control group of 30 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The intervention group received high-protein snacks (18 g/session), whereas the control group received low-protein snacks (<12 g/session) for six weeks. Nutrient intake was assessed using 24-hour recall, handgrip strength was measured using a camera dynamometer, and nutritional status was analyzed using anthropometric and biochemical parameters. The results showed an increase in nutrient (energy, p = 0,036; protein, p = 0,000; fat, p = 0,000; carbohydrate, p = 0,040; sodium, p = 0,010; potassium, p = 0,043; phosphorus, p = 0,001), Hb (p = 0,001), and urea (p = 0,015) intake, There were no changes in BMI (p= 0,836), muscle mass (p= 0,575), creatinine level (p= 0,183), or handgrip strength (p= 0,899) in patients with CKD. In conclusion, high-protein snacks used during hemodialysis can improve nutrient intake and clinical parameters in patients with CKD.

Abstract

Stunting is still a major nutritional problem in the East Nusa Tenggara Province. Efforts to reduce stunting cannot be separated from the role of Posyandu cadres (integrated health post-cadres). This study aimed to determine the effects of anthropometric measurement training, toddler growth monitoring, and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) training on cadres' knowledge and skills. The research was a quasi-experiment with a pre-post-test control group design. The participants were Oesapa Health Center cadres who underwent purposive sampling in May-July 2024. Thirty intervention group cadres were given modules and training on monitoring growth, development, and IYCF for three days. Thirty cadres in the control group were provided with nutrition education and modules only. The cadres were then practiced at Posyandu. Data were collected through questionnaires and checklists. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: There was an increase in cadre knowledge for all variables in both the intervention and control groups (p<0,05). The highest CGM was 21,33 points in the intervention group. CGM training also significantly improved cadre skills after Post-test 1 in the intervention group by 9,33 points (p= 0,000); however, at Post-test 2, there was no significant improvement (p= 0,934). In conclusion, nutrition training significantly improved cadres' knowledge scores and skills in conducting anthropometric measurements.

Abstract

Growth disorders are also common in children. The Health Belief Model (HBM) predicts that maternal perception of child vulnerability to growth disorders motivates adequate feeding practices. Addressing these concerns can effectively drive intervention. This study examined the impact of nutrition education delivered via Instagram on complementary feeding (MPASI) practices in infants aged 6–12 months. This quasi-experimental study was conducted in Bogor City in the year 2024. The sample consisted of 76 breastfeeding mothers, selected using a randomized method. Participants were divided into two groups: the intervention group, which engaged in interactive Instagram discussions after receiving nutrition education (n= 38), and the control group (n= 38), which only received nutrition education. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires. Educational materials were provided twice a week for four weeks via Instagram. The data were analyzed using t-tests. Results: A significant difference (p < 0,05) was observed in the effect of nutrition education delivered via Instagram, both within each group and between groups, in terms of dietary diversity, feeding frequency, and adequacy. In conclusion, interactive education through Instagram has a more significant impact on improving scores in most components of the Health Belief Model (HBM) related to complementary feeding practices.

Abstract

Nutritional intake plays an important role in boosting the immunity. This study aimed to modify the boba drink into a probiotic- and antioxidant-rich drink. Kefir is a source of probiotics. Pineapples, which are rich in vitamin C, have antioxidant properties. The experimental study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three formulations: F1 (75% kefir: 25% pineapple), F2 (50% kefir: 50% pineapple), and F3 (25% kefir: 75% pineapple). Product manufacturing and organoleptic tests were conducted at the Food Laboratory of Poltekkes Kemenkes Bandung. Laboratory testing was conducted at Saraswanti Indo Genetech and Sibaweh Lab. This research was conducted from December 2022 to January 2023. Organoleptic testing was performed by 30 trained panelists. Analysis using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: There were differences in the organoleptic aspects (p= 0,012) of each formulation. Thus, F3 was found to be the best formulation. The number of lactic acid bacteria was 6,7 x 106, with antioxidant activity of 1238,02 ppm or 0,1238%, and vitamin C content of 19,88 grams. In conclusion, the high antioxidant activity of this drink suggests that it has the potential to increase body immunity. Further testing is needed to determine the type and number of other probiotic bacteria present in the product.

Abstract

Folic acid is a synthetic vitamin B9 that plays an important role in folate metabolism, including the synthesis of DNA and RNA, and epigenetic methylation. These processes are essential for the development of the nervous system. Impaired folate metabolism contributes to the pathophysiology of ASD through the dysregulation of neurochemical and epigenetic processes. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of folinic acid in alleviating ASD symptoms.  Methods: Review Manager Software. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane based on studies published in the last five years (2018-2023), with inclusion criteria of RCTs and exclusion of observational studies and non-English articles. Fixed-effects analysis was used because no heterogeneity was observed. Results: Two studies (n= 103) evaluated the effect of folinic acid on reducing ASD symptoms. Symptoms were assessed using the aberrant behavior checklist. The pooled mean difference was -0,66, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from -1,22 -0,10. The results showed statistical significance, with a p-value of 0,02. However, this analysis used only two studies with small sample sizes and modest mean differences. In conclusion, folinic acid administration has the potential to reduce ASD symptoms in children. Further research with a larger sample size is needed to generalize the clinically meaningful results.
