Abstract

The excessive production of free radicals, such as Nitric Oxide (NO), initiates several diseases. Compounds of nutmeg oil (MFEO) have been reported to exhibit antioxidant activity. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity, and NO inhibitory potential of MFEO. This experimental study was conducted using the MFEO obtained from plantations in South Aceh Regency, Indonesia. The antioxidant activities were tested using the ABTS and FRAP tests, cytotoxicity test used micro-tetrazolium solution and NO production inhibition were carried out on RAW 264.7 cells used Griess Reagent. The IC50 values were determined using linear regression statistical analysis (p<0,05). Results, the IC50 values of MFEO using the ABTS method were 8,400 ppm and 24,949 ppm, respectively, using the FRAP method. These results indicate that MFEO has a very weak antioxidant activity compared to Trolox and ascorbic acid. An MFEO concentration of 250 ppm showed a cell viability of more than 50% (75,57%), and the ability to inhibit NO production began to be shown at an MFEO concentration of 50 ppm (7,5%). The antioxidant activities of MFEO were very weak and MFEO concentrations starting from 50 ppm inhibited NO production, and up to a concentration of 250 ppm, more than 50% viability of RAW 264.7 cell. In conclusion, MFEO needs higher concentrations than Trolox and ascorbic acid for strong antioxidant effects. At lower doses, it remains safe for RAW 264.7 cells and effectively reduces NO production.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) is a problem that encompasses the entire life cycle. Children born with low birth weight are highly vulnerable to developing diseases and death, and remain undernourished. This study aimed to analyze the factors related to the prevalence of LBW in West Java Province. This ecological study utilized secondary data from 2022 obtained from the Ministry of Health, Social Office Central Bureau of Statistics, and National Food Agency. The unit of analysis was all districts in West Java. The dependent variable was the prevalence of LBWs. The independent variables were pregnancy age at risk, preterm birth, MUAC <23,5 cm, parity, food security, early marriage, maternal education, and poverty. Pearson and Spearman correlation tests were conducted to examine the relationship between each independent variable and the prevalence of LBW. The overall prevalence of LBW infants was 20,9%, with a significant positive association found between the pregnancy age at risk percentage, percentage of preterm birth, percentage of MUAC <23,5 cm, percentage parity at risk, food security score, percentage of low education, and percentage of poverty (p=0,046, p=0,025, p=0,039, p=0,042, and 0,044; p=0,002). In conclusion, the percentage of preterm births is the primary cause of low birth weight in West Java

Abstract

Stunting remains a chronic nutritional issue in Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting has decreased from 30,8% in 2018 to 21,5% in 2023; this rate is still above the WHO threshold of less than 20%. Proper stimulation, affection, and parenting patterns influenced optimal growth in terms of height and weight. This study aimed to analyze the association between stimulation, affection, and parenting practices in stunting among children aged 24–59 months. This case-control study was conducted from March to April 2024 at the Made Health Center, Surabaya City, which consists of 50 toddlers, both stunting and non-stunting, selected using purposive sampling. Stimulation patterns were measured using the Home Observation of Measurement and Environment Inventory (HOME), affection patterns using the Child Adult Relational Experimental (CARE), parenting patterns using the parenting feeding style questionnaire, and nutritional status using anthropometric measurements. Data analysis was performed using the chi-squared test. The results showed that the stimulation patterns were significantly correlated with stunting (p=0,000; OR= 5,90). Affection patterns were also significantly correlated with stunting (P =0,000; OR=13,75). Parenting patterns were significantly correlated with stunting (P =0,000; OR=26,35). In conclusion, stimulation, affection, and parenting patterns were significantly correlated with stunting among children aged 24-59 months.

Abstract

Stunting can also reduce the quality of human resources. Developing regional foods with high protein content, such as edamame and mackerel tuna, can help reduce the prevalence of stunting. Edamame and mackerel tuna were processed into a sprinkle powder. This study aimed to determine the best formulation of sprinkle powder for use as a high-protein supplement. This research was conducted at the University of Jember from January to April 2024 using a completely randomized design at three levels. The experiments were carried out on 25 semi-trained panelists, and proximate tests were analyzed in the laboratory. The results were analyzed using SPSS v24. The results of the statistical analysis of the hedonic test showed that there were no differences in all parameters (color, aroma, taste, and overall) (p > 0,05). The results of the proximate test showed that F3 had the highest water content (9,79±0,1%), ash (9,21±0,09%), and protein (43,18±0,14%), while the highest fat and carbohydrate contents were possessed by F1, 13,21±0,05% and 31,39±0,1%, respectively). In conclusion, the most preferred formulation was F3, and proximate analysis also showed that the highest protein content was found in F3.

Abstract

Nutritional management of hospitalized patients is critical for improving the quality of hospital services. The Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 26 of 2013 established standards for hospital nutrition management; however, its implementation has not been fully documented through digital systems. This study aimed to examine the application of information systems for inpatient nutrition management based on Regulation No. 26/2013. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using content analysis of secondary data, including policy documents, nutrition unit reports, and outputs from hospital nutrition information systems in a Type B hospital from 2021 to 2023. The hospital was selected purposively based on the criterion of using a nutrition information system for a minimum of two years. The results showed that most components of the nutrition care strategy, such as initial assessment and diet provision, complied with regulatory standards, with over 80% of patients assessed within 24 h and 92,5% of diets appropriately provided. However, digital documentation of nutrition interventions and evaluations remained suboptimal (<40%), mainly because of manual recordkeeping, high workload, and limited training. In conclusion, although progress has been made in the implementation of nutrition management strategies, significant gaps remain in digital documentation. Strengthening information systems, improving human resource capacity through training, and routine monitoring are necessary to ensure compliance with the national standards.

Abstract

The rising prevalence of obesity among adults, particularly women, highlights the need for effective weight management strategies. While previous studies have explored weight loss adherence, limited research has focused on the psychological strategies that reproductive-age women use to maintain their motivation in diet and physical activity. This qualitative study was conducted from September until October 2024 and employed a narrative approach, involving in-depth interviews with six key informants in Bandung City who had experienced or participated in a weight loss program. Additional informants were also included to support the triangulation method. Data were thematically analyzed using NVivo 12 for coding and Microsoft Excel for data tabulation. The study revealed five strategies for overcoming demotivation, burnout, and boredom. (1) Reflecting on Achievements, (2) taking a break for a while, (3) embracing the flexibility of diet and physical activity, (4) remembering the motivation they started to lose weight, and (5) adjusting the intensity of exercise. In conclusion, reflecting on achievement could be a strategy to overcome demotivation, burnout, or boredom during the weight loss journey. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these strategies depends on individual characteristics. Personalized approaches to weight loss programs can be integrated into community-based initiatives and healthcare practices to enhance long-term adherence through group support, educational campaigns, coaching in healthier eating practices, and stress management.

Abstract

Adolescence is prone to nutritional imbalances. Research in SMPN 18 Surakarta showed that 50% of adolescents were thinned, 10% were overweight, and 3,3% were obese. This study aimed to analyze whether chronotype, breakfast habits, and sleep quality contribute to malnutrition among adolescents. This research was conducted in Surakarta City between November 2024-January 2025 and used a cross-sectional as the design with multistage sampling. The Lemeshow Formula showed that the minimum sample size was 106. The instruments used were MEQ, Breakfast Habits, and PSQI questionnaires as well as body weight and height measurements. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that the data is normally distributed. Pearson used as the bivariate test and multiple linear regression as the multivariate test. There was no correlation between chronotype (p = 0,900; r = 0,011), breakfast habits (p = 0,298; r = 0,087), and sleep quality (p = 0,420; r = 0,067) and BMI-for-age. There was no correlation between all independent variables and the dependent variable (F = 0,585). This research concluded that there is no correlation between chronotype, breakfast habits, and sleep quality with BMI-for-age in adolescents. However, further research with more diverse subjects and lifestyle variables is required to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Stunting in children increases their risk of mortality, cognitive impairment, motor development, and poor body function. This study aimed to examine the relationship between low birth weight, low birth length, sex, age, and weight growth status and the prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting in children aged 6–36 months in West Lombok Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2023 and May 2024 with 544 children. Secondary data were obtained from two community health centers in the study area. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test and chi-square test. Results: Birth weight and length were significantly associated with nutritional status in children. Higher birth weight was positively correlated with a better weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ; p = 0,001), height-for-age Z-score (HAZ; p = 0,009), and weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ; p = 0,0001), indicating a strong influence on overall growth and nutritional outcomes. Similarly, a greater birth length was significantly associated with WAZ (p = 0,0001), HAZ (p = 0,002), and WHZ (p = 0,006). Age was also correlated with HAZ (p = 0,005) and incidence of stunting (p = 0,0001), suggesting an age-related cumulative effect on linear growth. Moreover, children with low birth weight had a significantly higher risk of stunting (p = 0,0007), whereas those with low birth length were more likely to be underweight (p = 0,050). In conclusion, LBW and LBL are significant risk factors for stunting, wasting, and underweight in children aged 6–36 months in West Lombok Regency.

Abstract

Weight regaining is a challenge for most obese individuals who have successfully lost weight. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to weight gain is essential for developing more effective interventions. This study aimed to identify the factors contributing to weight gain in obese individuals after a weight loss program. A literature review was conducted using a narrative method following the PRISMA guidelines. The relevant international research articles used in this study were published in the last five years and retrieved from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Online Library databases, resulting in the inclusion of nine studies that met the eligibility criteria, such as involving individuals with a history of weight loss programs, including dietary changes, physical activity, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The findings highlight multiple contributing factors to weight regain, including 1) loss of fat-free mass, 2) psychological, 3) behavioral and food environment factors, 4) weight loss history, 5) breakfast habits, 6) environmental contaminants, and 7) anti-obesity medication. Therefore, effective long-term weight management must consider these behavioral, metabolic, and environmental factors in obesity treatment programs to enhance their effectiveness in preventing weight regain.
