Abstract

Malnutrition has been increasingly linked to imbalances in the composition of gut microbiota. Disruptions in the microbiota can impair nutrient absorption, promote inflammation, and affect immune function, contributing to the development and persistence of malnutrition. Therefore, food intake that can maintain gut microbiota, such as tempeh and dates, is required. The purpose of this study was to characterize the nutrient content of tempeh and date seed flour. This study used an experimental design conducted from August to October 2024. The samples included tempeh and date seed flours boiled for 10 (A1) and 20 min (A2). The flour was processed using PRTPP BRIN. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test and a post-hoc Duncan test. The results showed a significant difference in the nutritional content of tempeh and date seed flours (p<0,01). Tempeh flour contained 48,11% protein. In contrast, date seed flour had a high dietary fiber content of 82,13% for A1 and 77,59% for A2. In conclusion, both flours have their own nutritional content, namely as a source of protein (tempeh flour) fiber (date seed flour). These findings suggest that tempeh and date seed flour have potential as complementary foods to support the gut microbiota and improve nutritional intake in malnourished individuals.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries that produces porang and gembili tubers that can be processed into value-added food products. One innovation that can be developed is the analog rice made from these two tubers. Porang and gembili tubers are known to contain bioactive compounds and dietary fiber that provide functional benefits, such as lowering blood glucose levels, improving lipid profiles, and improving digestive tract health. This study aimed to evaluate the physical and proximate qualities of three analog rice formulations using commercial porang and gembili flours. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two replications, conducted from August to December 2024 at the Technopark Laboratory (Faculty of Agricultural Technology) and Nutrition Analysis Laboratory (Department of Community Nutrition, FEMA IPB). The formulations had porang and gembili ratios of F1 (75:25), F2 (50:50), and F3 (25:75). Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA preceded by variance homogeneity testing, followed by DMRT multiple range test. The results showed that cooking time and bulk density differed significantly between F1, F2, and F3. The expansion ratio, degree of breakage, and hardness differed significantly among F3, F1, and F2. F3 exhibited the highest brightness (L*) value. Proximate analysis revealed significant differences in ash, moisture, protein, fat, and carbohydrate contents among all formulations. The F3 formulation, which had a higher proportion of gembili, demonstrated the greatest potential as a staple carbohydrate source. However, further sensory and consumer acceptability improvements are needed.

Abstract

Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood that requires nutritional intake of iron. Children with iron deficiency are highly susceptible to anemia. This study aimed to determine the effect of rainbow gaguk fish (Arius thalassinus) cookies on macro-and micronutrient intake in adolescent girls with anemia. This study used preliminary data from the Bengkulu Provincial Health Office, where many students experienced anemia in one junior high school. In the selection of samples using simple random sampling, 50 g of rainbow gaguk fish biscuits were used. The dependent variable in this study was gaguk fish. The independent variables were the macro-and micronutrient intake. This study employed a quasi-experimental pre-post-test intervention research using a purposive sampling design. Data analysis was performed using the paired t-test and Wilcoxon test at 95% confidence interval (CI). The results showed that before giving fish cookies, energy intake was 44,4%, protein 51,5%, carbohydrate 51,4%, vitamin B12 52,5%, folate 38,5%, iron 54%, and zinc 45,6%; after an increase in energy intake, energy intake was 55,8%, protein 62,3%, carbohydrate 52,1%, vitamin B12 65%, folate 39,1%, iron 74%, and zinc 81,1% (p<0,001). In conclusion, the provision of rainbow biscuits to adolescent girls with anemia improved significantly.

Abstract

Health problems in Indonesia generally occur because of the unhealthy lifestyles of adolescents or sedentary lifestyles. The most common cases are health problems, such as obesity and overweight. This study aimed to measure the effect of providing functional cookies on controlling oxidative stress in obese adolescents, determine the compliance of cookie consumption by subjects, and conduct consumer tests. The study used an experimental design conducted from August to September 2022 at SMP Negeri 7 Cirebon City. The participants were 24 adolescents aged 13-15 years. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed for malondialdehyde (MDA) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) levels in the blood serum. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation test at 95% CI. The results showed that the provision of functional cookies significantly (p<0,05) reduced serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in overweight and normal adolescents (p = 0,017). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity had no effect on overweight/obese and normal adolescents after providing functional cookies. In conclusion, providing functional cookies can reduce MDA levels in obese and normal adolescents (p = 0,017) but had no effect on SOD enzyme activity. The adherence to cookie consumption and consumer test results support its potential in controlling oxidative stress in adolescents.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has become a significant public health issue in Asia, with significantly increasing prevalence rates in recent decades, especially affecting blood glucose levels in patients with this type of diabetes. This study aimed to examine the correlation between body composition and fasting blood glucose levels in subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2.  The observational research used a cross-sectional design that included a sample of 68 subjects, conducted between August and May 2024 at the RSUP Fatmawati Hospital in Jakarta.  Data were analyzed using the chi-square test for bivariate analysis, and analysis of variance was used to compare the variables. Body composition was measured using body impedance analysis (BIA), physical activity levels were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and fasting blood glucose was measured using Accu-Chek Instant Strips. Dietary and beverage consumption habits, familial health history, smoking habits, sleep duration, and physical activity level were assessed using a structured questionnaire. The results showed a positive relationship between nutritional status, percent body fat, and waist circumference, with a negative correlation between muscle mass and fasting blood sugar levels. In conclusion, nutritional status, percent body fat, waist circumference, and muscle mass were associated  with  fasting blood glucose levels.

Abstract

The high dependence on wheat flour and the increasing demand for functional foods for individuals with Diabetes Mellitus have spurred innovations in food products, including sourdough bread. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of substituting 50% of wheat flour with varying ratios of purple sweet potato flour and brown rice flour on the sensory characteristics, proximate composition, and antioxidant activity of sourdough white bread. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with four formulations: P0 (control/100% wheat flour), P1 (50:40:10), P2 (50:30:20), and P3 (50:20:30), each with three replications. Analyses included proximate composition (protein, fat, moisture, ash, carbohydrates), sensory attributes (color, aroma, taste, texture, overall acceptance), and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The results showed significant differences (p<0,05) between the treatments and the control across all evaluated parameters. Based on the Zeleny test, the optimal formulation was P3, with protein content of 7,51 g, carbohydrate content of 48,86 g, and antioxidant activity (IC50) of 195,39 mg/mL. In conclusion, although the antioxidant activity was classified as weak, the bread formulation remains a promising candidate for functional food targeted at individuals with diabetes. It is recommended that 1,5 slices (approximately 50 g) of this sourdough bread be consumed as a snack for individuals with Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

Excessive weight gain during pregnancy is a risk factor, which can be modified to prevent pregnancy and postpartum complications. Gestational weight gain (GWG) is also influenced by the regulation of nutritional intake and physical activity, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between nutritional intake and physical activity in overweight pregnant women with gestational weight gain. This cross-sectional study was conducted in May and November 2022. A total of 66 overweight/obese pregnant women aged 20 – 40 years at the Public Health Center in Semarang were recruited using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using interviews, questionnaires, and anthropometric measurements.  Data analysis was performed using the Pearson’s correlation, Spearman’s correlation, and linear regression. Pregnant women who were overweight or obese gained an average of 0,42 kg of weight each week, with the bulk of this gain deemed improper (68,2%). Parity (p=0,011; r=-0,309) and sufficient protein consumption (p=0,031; r=-0,266) were associated with GWG. The conclusion is that there will be less weight gain during pregnancy if the protein intake is high.

Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains high, reaching 21,6% by 2022. The government has established a stunting reduction strategy using 11 specific nutrition intervention indicators and one sensitive nutrition intervention indicator. However, the implementation of these programmes is suboptimal. This study aimed to identify the nutritional factors that influence the reduction in stunting and evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition intervention programs on the prevalence of stunting. The study utilized a cross-sectional design with Spearman correlation analysis to examine the relationship between intervention indicators and stunting prevalence, and linear regression analysis to assess their impact. The results showed significant indicators (p < 0,05) included antenatal care performed six times (r= -0,666), iron tablet supplementation for pregnant women (r= -0,362), exclusive breastfeeding (r= -0,501), growth monitoring of toddlers (r= -0,386), treatment of malnourished children (r= -0,503), complete basic immunizations (r= -0,404), adolescent health screenings (r= -0,394), adolescent iron tablet supplementation (r= -0,441), and open defecation-free villages (r= -0,448). In conclusion, increased program coverage correlated with a decrease in stunting prevalence, with antenatal care (ANC) interventions showing the strongest correlation.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia, including the province of Aceh. The lack of data on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of primary healthcare physicians regarding stunting prevention represents a critical gap that warrants investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of public health center (PHC) physicians in addressing childhood stunting in Aceh Province. A descriptive-quantitative design was employed involving 143 physicians from 39 PHC located in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. This study was conducted between April 2022 and January 2023. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using univariate statistics. The majority of the respondents were female (89.5%). A total of 67.8% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge, 86% exhibited positive attitudes, and 82% reported engaging in stunting prevention practices aligned with standard guidelines. In conclusion, PHC physicians in the study area displayed strong readiness to support stunting prevention efforts. Continued capacity-building interventions and sustainable support systems are essential for reinforcing their strategic role in primary healthcare services.

Abstract

Low adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy and inadequate nutritional intake remain persistent challenges among People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) in Indonesia, contributing to suboptimal treatment outcomes and reduced quality of life. Mobile health (mHealth), which utilizes mobile devices for health interventions, offers a promising solution by facilitating personalized, accessible, and continuous patient support. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an Android-based mHealth application, SEHAT+, in improving ARV adherence and nutritional intake among PLHIV at the Bandarharjo Health Center, Semarang. A total of 41 active PLHIV undergoing ARV therapy were recruited from March to May 2025. Descriptive and paired t-test analyses were conducted to compare adherence and intake before and after the intervention. The mean ARV adherence score increased from 62,3 (SD = 10,5) to 84,9 (SD = 8,1), and the nutritional intake score improved from 58,7 (SD = 11,2) to 79,2 (SD = 9,6), both showing statistically significant changes (p < 0,001). SEHAT+ features included medication reminders, dietary logs, multimedia-based nutrition education, and online consultation forums. The findings indicate that mHealth interventions can significantly enhance both medication compliance and nutritional behavior in PLHIV. Community-driven digital tools such as SEHAT+ have the potential to strengthen primary healthcare responses to HIV/AIDS in resource-constrained settings.
