Abstract

Anemia is a common health issue among adolescent girls, including female students at boarding schools, and it was found that the prevalence of anemia in one boarding school in Indonesia was 38%. Anemia is indicated by low hemoglobin levels caused by insufficient intake of iron and other nutrients. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between anemia knowledge, menu acceptability, and nutrient intake and hemoglobin levels in female students. This study used a cross-sectional design conducted at Dar El Hikmah Islamic Boarding School Pekanbaru, with a total of 105 female MA students who were selected purposively based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected from November to December 2024. Anemia knowledge was measured using a questionnaire, menu acceptability estimated by leftover food, nutrient intake obtained from 2 × 24 h food recall, and hemoglobin (Hb) level measured using easy touch GCHb. Data were analyzed using the rank-Spearman test. The results showed that most subjects (53,3%) had anemia or Hb levels <12 g/dL. There was a significant negative correlation between the acceptability of the breakfast menu (r=−0,366; p=<0,001), lunch (r=−0,445; p=<0,001), and dinner (r=−0,516; p=<0,001), and a positive correlation between anemia knowledge (r=0,254; p=0,009); protein (r=0,235; p=0,019), iron (r=0,200; p=0,040), vitamin C (r=0,349; p=<0,001), vitamin B9 (r=0,471; p=<0,001), and vitamin B12 intake (r=0,221; p=0,023) with Hb level. In conclusion, knowledge is needed to prevent anemia, and the quality of school menus must be improved to increase acceptance and nutrient intake.

Abstract

Inulin is a polysaccharide composed of 2-60 fructose monomers linked by β-(2,1) glycosidic bonds, with a glucose end group. The tuber of Musa balbisiana Colla (batu banana) is a part of the M. balbisiana Colla plant that contains dietary fiber 6,20%. The polysaccharide content allowed the batu banana tubers  to contain inulin. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of inulin in batu banana tubers. The research method used was the experimental method, which was analyzed descriptively with two replicates at the Universitas Padjadjaran Laboratory of Jatinangor – Sumedang from May until October 2023. The parameters were inulin content, degree of polymerization (DP), reducing sugar content, moisture content, pH, solubility, water activity (aw), color L*, a*, and  b*, viscosity, and sensory analysis using a descriptive method. The results showed that B. tuber inulin had an inulin content of 3,58%, DP of 2,8, reducing sugar content of 2,03%,  moisture content of 8,47%, pH of 6,31, solubility of 21,70% (90°C), aw of 0,432, L* of 66,76, a* of 8,28, b* of 15,90, and viscosity of 2068 mPas (90°C). In conclusion, sensory analysis showed that batu banana tuber inulin has a darker color, bitter taste, stronger flavor, and softer texture than the commercial inulin.

Abstract

Infants who are not exclusively breastfed are at a risk of iron deficiency. Iron deficiency affects motor development, intelligence, and endurance. Adequate nutrient intake can increase breast milk iron levels, because maternal food intake greatly affects the amount of iron in breast milk. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal nutrient intake and iron levels in the breast milk. This study used a cross-sectional approach from October to December 2024. The subjects were 90 mothers who breastfed babies aged 2-24 weeks, with a probability proportional to size. Nutrient intake and breast milk iron stage were the variables that were studied. Data were analyzed using the Pearson’s correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis. Results showed that foremilk iron levels ranged from 60,62 µg/dL to 632,94 µg/dL, while hindmilk iron levels varied from 127,44 µg/dL to 680,38 µg/dL. Iron intake was measured between 13,17 g and 115,6 g, showing a significant correlation between nutrient intake and breast milk (p < 0,05). In addition, it was found that breastfeeding mothers' iron intake was the most influential factor on the breast milk iron stage. In conclusion, maternal iron intake significantly affects breast milk iron levels. Ensuring adequate maternal iron intake, supported by vitamin C consumption, can help increase the availability of iron in breast milk, thereby benefiting infant growth and development.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus may also contribute to cognitive decline.  Risk factors for cognitive decline in patients with type 2 DM include demographic characteristics, clinical conditions, and nutritional intake. However, there is controversy regarding whether micronutrient intake affects cognitive function among type 2 DM. Thus, we aimed to investigate the determinants of cognitive function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A cross-sectional design was used in this study. This research was conducted in Marzoeki Mahdi Hospital, Bogor, West Java, from May to June 2023 among 98 respondents. Data on blood glucose levels (HbA1c) were obtained from medical records over the last three months. Nutritional intake was assessed using the SQ-FFQ and cognitive function was assessed using the MoCA-Ina. A significant relationship was found between blood glucose levels, age, illness duration, and cognitive function (r=-0,212, p=0,036; r=-0,736, p=0,0001; r=-0,573, p=0,0001). However, there was no significant relationship between vitamin B12 or C intake and global cognitive function (r=-0,005; p=0,959, r=0,126; p=0,217). There was a relationship between vitamin C and aspects of cognitive function, namely, abstraction (r=0,350, p=0,0001). In conclusion, there is a relationship between blood glucose levels, age, and duration of DM and cognitive function. Vitamin C consumption is associated with abstraction ability.

Abstract

Indonesia has the highest prevalence of obesity in the Asia-Pacific region. Insulin resistance is a form of obesity that causes damage to the liver, heart, and pancreatic tissue as we age. This study aimed to determine the correlation among lipid profiles, glucose levels, body composition, and insulin resistance. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental design and was conducted at the Gorontalo Ministry of Health Polytechnic in February 2023 on 31 obese people whose venous blood was collected for examination of insulin resistance variables. Data were collected by purposive sampling with data analysis using Pearson Correlation and Spearman Rank statistical tests at a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Insulin resistance status based on sex, using the TyG index, was dominated by women (55%) among the 20 people who experienced insulin resistance. Men are more likely to be aged <30 years than women, according to the HOMA-IR index. The Pearson triglyceride test value (p= 0,000, r= 0,974) shows that the relationship between triglycerides and the TyG index was very strong, whereas when the HOMA-IR index was used, fasting insulin (p= 0,000, r= 0,985) had a very strong relationship. In conclusion, lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL), fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and visceral fat percentage correlated with insulin resistance.

Abstract

The reduction in food production due to climate shock has contributed to food and nutrition insecurity, malnutrition, and diet-related non-communicable diseases. There is an urgent need for adaptation measures to manage the impact of climate change on communities. Developing resilience in food and nutrition security remains a novel concept. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of Layering, Sequencing and Integration (LSI) of different interventions on food and nutrition outcomes among smallholder farmers. Participants were drawn from three wards in the Zvishavane District of the Midlands province in Zimbabwe.  A total of 301 randomly chosen participants were interviewed. A mixed methodology using quantitative and qualitative tools was used to collect the data. The majority (95,3%) of the study participants had an acceptable diet based on the food consumption score (77,1%), with a high dietary diversity score, and 48,2% had an annual cereal surplus. A total of 69,1% of participants had no reduced coping strategies. Economic shocks (34,9%) were most severe, followed by climate-induced shocks (24,6%). The LSI approach can potentially increase diversified food production levels, thereby increasing access to diverse foods and resulting in improved food and nutrition security outcomes for a given community.

Abstract

Pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) are prone to malnutrition due to prolonged imbalances in the intake of essential nutrients. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the risk of CED in pregnant women. This study had a quantitative, cross-sectional design and was conducted from June to August 2023 in the working area of the Parung Panjang Health Center, Bogor Regency. The sample size in this study was 140 pregnant women using purposive sampling. The respondents’ characteristics were obtained through questionnaire interviews. MUAC was collected through MUAC tape, dietary intake using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) form, and hemoglobin through a rapid test. Analysis was performed using the chi-square statistical test at 95% CI. The results of this study showed that the prevalence of CED was 20,7%. There was a significant relationship between maternal age, parity, gestational age, history of infectious diseases, knowledge, energy, and protein adequacy and CED in pregnant women (p <0,05). There was no significant relationship between income, anemia status, fat and carbohydrate adequacy, and the occurrence of CED (p> 0,05). In conclusion, the determinants of CED include maternal age, parity, gestational age, history of infection, knowledge, energy, and protein intake.

Abstract

Adolescent athletes have a higher risk of dehydration than adult athletes do. This increased risk results from the greater absorption of environmental heat and heightened body heat, which affects electrolyte balance and oxygen saturation. This study aimed to analyze electrolyte values and oxygen saturation in students at SMA Keberbakatan Aceh in 2024 using an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 43 respondents were selected for this study. The intensity of physical exercise was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) score,  of which two respondents had hyponatremia, 40 had normal sodium levels, and one respondent had hypernatremia related to the intensity of physical exercise (p= 0,381). Potassium levels were not significantly affected, as all 43 respondents had normal potassium levels (p= 0,740). Regarding chloride levels, one respondent had hypochloremia, 40 had normal levels, and two had hyperchloremia. While previous results showed no effect, exercise intensity was found to have a significant influence on respondents’ nutritional status (p= 0,034). All respondents maintained levels within normal limits in the assessment of oxygen saturation. Conclusion: Physical exercise intensity had no significant effect on serum electrolytes or oxygen saturation levels. However, a significant relationship was observed between the physical exercise intensity and nutritional status.

Abstract

Hospital food service satisfaction is critical to inpatient care quality and affects patients’ experiences and well-being. This study employed Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) to systematically evaluate and enhance food service satisfaction in inpatient care within healthcare facilities. A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted in August 2023 at a 300-bed private hospital in Central Jakarta involving 324 conscious patients aged > 17 years. The Acute Care Hospital Foodservice Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (ACHFPSQ) was used to measure various food service factors. IPMA analysis has illuminated a strategic path for healthcare institutions to enhance food service satisfaction. IPMA analysis showed that Meal Taste, Meal Portion, and Meal Serving were highly important and performed well. These aspects should be maintained to ensure satisfaction with food services. Meal Variety and Utensils were identified as areas of high importance but low performance, warranting improvement. By acknowledging the strengths (meal taste, meal portion, and meal serving) and weaknesses (meal variety and utensils) of various food service components and prioritizing improvements accordingly, hospitals can better cater to the preferences and needs of their inpatient population, ultimately leading to increased satisfaction and improved overall healthcare experience.

Abstract

Velva is a cold and sweet food made from vegetable and fruit puree, in this study the making of velva was modified by using gayam flour to increase the fiber content. Gayam is a local food ingredient that is abundant and has high nutritional and fiber content. This study aimed to determine the sensory attributes that appear and the selected velva products based on panelist assessments. This study was conducted at the IPB Dramaga Campus between June and December 2024. Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) was used to assess the sensory profile, whereas hedonic testing was conducted using a survey. Panelists for the QDA analysis used trained panelists who had gone through a series of selections; thus, eight trained panelists were obtained for hedonic testing using 35 semi-trained panelists. The results of the QDA test were analyzed descriptively, and the results of the hedonic test were tested using ANOVA. Based on the analysis, the results obtained were significantly different for each sensory attribute of the velva product; the highest difference was in the taste attribute with an F value of 11,22 and a p value of 0,000. Conclusion: Sample A3K2 was a Velva product with the best sensory profile and acceptance by the respondents
