Abstract

Low intakes of vitamin D and fiber can lead to increased body fat and visceral fat in female factory workers. This study aimed to assess the intake of vitamin D and fiber in female factory workers and their relationship with body and visceral fat. This study employed a cross-sectional design, involving 114 female factory workers in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, from April to August 2024. Data collection for vitamin D and fiber intake was performed using the SQFFQ, whereas body fat percentage and visceral fat were measured using BIA. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's Rank Correlation test. The results showed that female workers with higher body fat had a lower intake of vitamin D and fiber. There was a significant relationship between vitamin D intake and visceral fat (rs= 0,190; p= 0,022) but no significant relationship with body fat percentage. Fiber intake was weakly inversely correlated with body fat percentage (rs= -0,176; p= 0,030) and visceral fat (rs= -0,176; p= 0,030) in female factory workers. In conclusion, vitamin D intake is positively associated with visceral fat, whereas fiber intake has a weak inverse relationship with body fat percentage and visceral fat in female factory workers in Pontianak. Efforts to increase vitamin D and fiber intake among female factory workers should be made through nutrition education and employee meal programs.

Abstract

Cigarette smoke contains harmful chemicals that induce oxidative stress by increasing the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby complicating cardiovascular disease treatment. Moringa oleifera L., rich in secondary metabolites and antioxidants, has shown medicinal potential. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of M. oleifera and its potential effects on cardiac hypertrophy and total cholesterol levels in mice exposed to cigarette smoke. Thirty male white mice (Mus musculus) were divided into five groups (n = 6). The negative control group received only food and water, whereas the positive control group was exposed to cigarette smoke without M. oleifera extract. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were exposed to cigarette smoke, and M. oleifera extract was administered at doses of 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg body weight (BW) for 14 days. On the fifteenth day, the mice were sacrificed to obtain heart samples and total cholesterol levels were measured. One-way ANOVA followed by a post-hoc test showed that M. oleifera extract significantly affected cardiac hypertrophy and total cholesterol levels in mice exposed to cigarette smoke (p < 0,05). M. oleifera extract significantly affected cardiac hypertrophy and total cholesterol levels in rats exposed to cigarette smoke with p =0,001 and p=0,000, respectively.

Abstract

Nutritional education is crucial for managing cardiovascular diseases; however, nurses’ adherence to established protocols remains suboptimal. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical supervision in improving nurses’ compliance with providing nutritional education to hospitalized cardiac patients. A quasi-experimental pre–post design was applied, involving 38 nurses working in the cardiac ward of a Type B General Hospital in Riau Province, from March to May 2024. The intervention group received structured clinical supervision for four weeks, while the control group continued with the standard procedures. Compliance was measured using validated observation and self-report instruments. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and ANCOVA. Results showed that. The mean compliance score in the intervention group increased from 68,4 (SD = 8,7) to 88,2 (SD = 6,3) (p < 0,001), whereas no significant change was observed in the control group. ANCOVA confirmed that clinical supervision had a significant effect on compliance (F = 11,23, p = 0,002), with a large effect size (η² = 0,24). In conclusion, clinical supervision effectively improved nurses’ compliance in providing nutritional education. Integrating structured supervision into nursing management may enhance the quality of patient education and support better clinical outcomes in the future.

Abstract

Poor oral hygiene among school-aged children can compromise food intake and contribute to nutritional problems including stunting, wasting, and underweight. However, few studies have explored active learning methods that integrate oral health education with its nutritional implications. This study evaluated the effectiveness of storytelling and roleplay in improving oral hygiene knowledge and their potential relevance to nutritional health promotion. A true experimental study with a pretest-posttest design on two intervention groups was conducted in December 2024 at State Elementary School 23, Kubang Putiah, Agam Regency, West Sumatra. Thirty-six students in grades III and IV were randomly assigned to either the storytelling or roleplay groups. Both groups received one week of structured counseling. Instrument validity and reliability were confirmed through expert review and Cronbach’s alpha testing (α > 0,80). Paired and independent t-tests were used at the 95% confidence level. Results indicated significant post-intervention knowledge gains in both groups (p < 0,001), with the roleplay group achieving a greater mean improvement (27,8 ± 1,77) than the storytelling group (19,5 ± 2,60; p < 0,001). Roleplay demonstrated superior effectiveness in enhancing children’s oral health literacy, which is essential for supporting school-based malnutrition prevention initiatives such as the School Health Unit (SHU) program and curriculum integration. Longitudinal studies are recommended to examine behavioral changes and their measurable impact on nutritional status.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and remains the leading cause of mortality globally. Non-pharmacological interventions using local functional foods are promising alternatives for blood pressure management. SOYDRA pudding, a novel combination of soymilk and red dragon fruit, contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, isoflavones, and dietary fiber, which are known to have antihypertensive properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SOYDRA pudding as a dietary intervention on blood pressure in patients with grade 1 hypertension. A randomized crossover trial was conducted from September to November 2024 at the outpatient clinic of the Arosuka Hospital, West Sumatra. Thirty-two participants aged 40–60 years with grade 1 hypertension were included in this study. The intervention consisted of consuming SOYDRA puddings twice daily (2 × 150 g/day) along with nutritional education over a 30-day period. Blood pressure measurements were performed before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the dependent t-test and Wilcoxon test. Results, there was a statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure from 146,3 ± 6,2 mmHg to 132,5 ± 5,9 mmHg (p = 0,000) and in diastolic blood pressure from 92,7 ± 4,8 mmHg to 84,1 ± 4,2 mmHg (p = 0,000) after the 30-day intervention. In conclusion, the administration of the SOYDRA pudding at a dose of 2 × 150 g/day for 30 days significantly reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension. These findings highlight the potential of functional food-based dietary strategies in non-pharmacological hypertension management.

Abstract

Stunting is a health issue related to chronic malnutrition over 1000 days of life.  Fulfilling the nutritional needs of pregnant women through fish consumption has been recommended in several studies. In Indonesia, mackerel tuna is a popular fish type at affordable prices. We developed mackerel tuna crackers as a nutritional product innovation for pregnant women made from mackerel tuna meat, eggs, and various spices. This product was developed as a food supplement for pregnant women. This study aimed to evaluate the macronutrients, fatty acids, and microbiological aspects of the product. Laboratory analyses were performed at the Integrated Laboratory of the IPB University. The results showed that the protein content of the product was highest in formula 1 (39,71%), meeting 54% of the protein requirement of pregnant women according to the IOM 2005 recommendation and 44,12% protein requirement of pregnant women according to AKG 2019. The total omega-3 content was highest in formula 2 (1,18%), and the total omega-6 content was highest in formula 3 (10,78%). The results of the microbiological test showed that all product samples were safe according to SNI 7988:2009. Further studies on the efficacy of mackerel tuna crackers as a nutritional intervention in pregnant women are urgently required.

Abstract

Underweight in toddlers is a significant public health concern in Indonesia, where the 2022 National Nutrition Status Survey reported a prevalence of 17,1% among children under five years of age, reflecting persistent nutritional challenges. This study aimed to analyze the incidence of underweight in toddlers in the Belawan Primary Health Center (PHC) and its contributing factors. This research applied a descriptive-analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted in January 2025, in Belawan, Medan City, North Sumatra. A total of 41 toddlers were selected using a total sampling method. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and secondary records, and ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board. The sample size was determined based on the population of underweight toddlers recorded at the health center. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The results indicated significant associations between exclusive breastfeeding (p=0,032), inappropriate complementary feeding (p=0,041), and maternal education (p=0,021) and underweight incidence. Logistic regression showed that low maternal education was the most dominant factor (OR=7,26). In conclusion, the role of mothers is very important in child feeding practices. Interventions to reduce underweight should prioritize maternal education and community-based nutrition programs by strengthening the roles of health workers and Integrated Health Post cadres.
