Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in Purwasari District, where 37.1% of women are anemic. Anemia may be directly influenced by social and supplementation factors, which also affect nutritional status, fetal health, and pregnancy outcomes through environmental support and the fulfillment of essential nutrient needs. This study aimed to analyze the association between social, supplementation, and nutritional factors and anemia among pregnant women in Purwasari District. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 150 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria of this study. Eligible participants were pregnant women aged 18–40 years in their second or third trimester. Data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The results showed that adequate vitamin C intake (p = 0.004; OR = 2.912), adherence to iron–folic acid (IFA) tablet consumption (p = 0.000; OR = 4.030), side effects of IFA intake (p = 0.003; OR = 3.027), and support from parents or in-laws (p = 0.026; OR = 2.563) were significantly associated with anemia in pregnancy. In conclusion, vitamin C adequacy, IFA adherence and side effects, and family support were significantly related to the occurrence of anemia among pregnant women in the Purwasari District.

Abstract

Snakehead fish (Channa striata) bones exhibited antibacterial activity against cariogenic bacteria, while Banjar Siam orange (Citrus reticulata) provided complementary antibacterial effects. The combination of these ingredients has the potential to be formulated into a functional saliva-stimulating jelly gum to support oral health in stunted children. This study aimed to obtain an optimal formulation of “Harukam” jelly gum as a saliva stimulant for caries prevention. The research was conducted at the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health Banjarmasin and the Industrial Service Standardization Center Banjarbaru, Indonesia, from June to October 2025. A completely randomized design was applied using four concentrations of snakehead fish bone flour: P0 (0%), P1 (1%), P2 (2%), and P3 (3%). Sensory evaluation was performed using the Hedonic Scale, while the chemical composition was determined through proximate analysis. Optimization was determined using the DeGarmo method, and statistical analysis was performed using the Friedman test. The addition of snakehead fish bone flour significantly affected sensory acceptance (p < 0.001) and increased most proximate values, except for carbohydrates. The P1 formulation received the highest preference score. In conclusion, P1 “Harukam” jelly gum showed potential as a functional food to stimulate saliva secretion and support caries prevention in stunted children.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that substantially affects the nutritional status of patients. Family support is believed to contribute to improved nutritional outcomes during the treatment. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family support and improvements in the nutritional status among TB patients with TB. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted between May and June 2024, involving 44 patients with TB at the Langkahan Primary Health Center, North Aceh. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire that assessed four dimensions of family support and nutritional status. The Chi-square test was used for data analysis (p < 0.05). A total of 75% of the patients demonstrated improvements in their nutritional status. Overall family support was significantly associated with improved nutritional status (p = 0.013; OR = 7.875; 95% CI: 1.733–35.785), and all support dimensions showed significant relationships (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that family support plays an essential role in enhancing the nutritional status of patients with TB. Strengthening family based interventions is recommended to support nutritional recovery and successful treatment.

Abstract

Local Food-Based Feeding Recommendations (LFFRs) were developed to fulfill the nutritional needs of stunted toddlers but remain underexplored in community settings. This study systematically examined child feeding practices based on LFFRs and investigated the contextual factors, challenges, and strategic efforts influencing their implementation by mothers of toddlers. A qualitative narrative design was used. Six mothers of toddlers were purposively selected and participated in in-depth interviews, each lasting 45–60 min. Data collection was conducted over two months. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns, and source triangulation was applied to enhance the credibility and trustworthiness of the findings. The analysis of the interview data revealed five main categories and 12 subthemes. These main categories were: (1) Overview of LFFRs implementation, (2) Factors influencing TIPs LFFRs, (3) Challenges in implementing TIPs LFFRs, and (4) Strategies to improve children's intake.  The findings revealed varied consumption patterns, with animal-based proteins (mainly eggs and chicken) dominating, limited intake of plant-based proteins (primarily tofu and tempeh), and fluctuating fruit, vegetable, and dairy consumption. Key barriers included children’s food preferences, time constraints, limited knowledge of local food preparation (e.g., wader fish and fresh milk), and perceived food-related risks. Adaptive strategies, such as diverse food processing and small frequent feedings, were employed by some mothers. These findings highlight the need for context-specific nutrition education and practical support for mothers, complemented by further research, evidence-based visual modules, practical caregiver training, and strengthened cross-sectoral collaboration to ensure the sustainable implementation of LFFRs and local food availability.

Abstract

Sustainable Healthy Diets (SHD) are understood to improve individual health while reducing environmental pressures; however, the integration of biological, ecological, and cultural dimensions remains insufficiently explored. This review aimed to describe SHD practices from these three perspectives to address gaps in knowledge regarding their bio-ecological and cultural interconnections. Methods: A literature review was conducted in March–April 2024 on English-language articles published between 2010 and 2024. Searches were performed in MDPI, PubMed, Science Direct, and The Lancet Planetary Health using the PECOS criteria. Of the 2,443 articles identified, 332 duplicates were removed, and 1,937 articles were excluded based on the inclusion criteria, leaving 174 articles for full-text assessment. The results showed that the SHD encompassed several dietary models, including local food–based diets, the Mediterranean diet, and the Planetary Health Diet, all of which emphasized plant-based choices. Biologically, SHD is associated with a reduced risk of non-communicable diseases, greater longevity, and adequate nutrient intake. Ecologically, SHD contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced carbon and water footprints, and encourages food waste reduction. Culturally, SHD reflects moral values related to animal welfare, belief systems, veganism, and religious practices. In conclusion, this review highlights the importance of integrating biological, ecological, and cultural considerations to strengthen SHD implementation. This study supports evidence-based dietary recommendations and accelerates the transition toward healthier and more sustainable global food systems.

Abstract

Obesity has become a global public health problem with increasing prevalence. In Indonesia, Aceh ranks 10th out of 38 provinces, with an obesity prevalence of 24.4%. The number of obesity cases in Aceh Besar Regency among individuals of productive age has increased, despite an overall decline in patient visits between 2022 and 2024. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and consumption habits of junk food and the risk of obesity in individuals of productive age. This observational analytical study with a case-control design was conducted in Aceh Besar between May and June 2025. The sample consisted of 120 productive-age adults (15–64 years) selected through proportional sampling methods. Knowledge, attitudes, and junk food consumption were measured using a structured questionnaire that had been tested for validity, and data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p=0.017; OR=0.375) and junk food consumption habits (p=0.001; OR=0.269) and the incidence of obesity. Conversely, attitudes did not show a statistically significant relationship with the risk of obesity (p=0.083; OR=0.509). In conclusion, nutritional knowledge and junk food consumption habits are important factors in the risk of obesity in individuals of productive ages. Strengthening nutrition education and reducing fast-food consumption are recommended community-based obesity prevention measures.

Abstract

Central obesity is characterized by increased visceral and subcutaneous fat and is associated with metabolic and hormonal disturbances in women. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary fiber intake and visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG) levels in women with central obesity. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Kediri Raya region in August 2025. The sample consisted of 70 women aged 19–45 years with a waist circumference greater than 80 cm, selected through purposive and quota sampling methods. A Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to assess fiber intake. Visceral and subcutaneous fat were measured using Bioimpedance Analysis, and SHBG levels were obtained from blood samples. Statistical analyses included Pearson’s correlation, Fisher’s exact test, and multivariate linear regression adjusted for energy and macronutrient intakes. The results showed that fiber intake was significantly associated only with age (p= 0.026), but not with BMI, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, or SHBG (p > 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that the carbohydrate–fiber interaction was negatively associated with BMI (p= 0.038) and visceral fat (p= 0.011). Conversely, fat–fiber interactions were positively associated with BMI (p= 0.008), visceral fat (p= 0.006), and subcutaneous fat (p= 0.035). No significant association was found between fiber intake and SHBG levels (p > 0.05). In conclusion, fiber intake in interaction with macronutrients influenced BMI and body fat composition but did not affect SHBG levels, highlighting the role of nutrient interactions in shaping visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by a prolonged inadequate intake of nutrients, particularly protein and iron. Its management requires local food innovations that are nutrient-dense, acceptable, and affordable. Dried noodles substituted with snakehead fish flour and yellow sweet potato flour have the potential to increase energy density and essential nutrient content, making them a viable alternative for local supplementary feeding (PMT) in children at risk of stunting. This study aimed to determine the chemical characteristics and organoleptic properties of dried noodles. A pre-experimental design was used, with one control formula and three treatment formulas, conducted at the Food Technology and Organoleptic Laboratory, Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar, and the Feed Chemistry Laboratory, Hasanuddin University (June 2023–March 2024). The energy, protein, carbohydrate, iron, zinc, and vitamin C contents were analyzed in duplicate, and organoleptic testing was performed by 50 semi-trained panelists. Significant differences were observed in protein, iron, carbohydrate, color, and taste (p<0.05), but not in energy, zinc, vitamin C, or texture (p>0.05). In conclusion, formula F3 was the best, containing 340.30 kcal/100 g energy, 21.92% protein, 65.67 g/100 g carbohydrate, 4.10 mg/100 g iron, 3.17 mg/100 g zinc, and 49.24 mg/100 g vitamin C.

Abstract

Gummy candy is widely consumed but generally low in micronutrients. Fortification with local ingredients rich in iron and vitamin C may improve its nutritional value. This study aimed to determine the effects of substituting moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf powder solution on the organoleptic characteristics, iron content, and vitamin C levels of calamansi orange gummy candy. This experimental study employed a Completely Randomized Design and was conducted at the Food Laboratory, Department of Nutrition, Poltekkes Kemenkes Aceh, with chemical analyses performed at BSPJI Banda Aceh from November to December 2024. Three formulations with 30%, 40%, and 50% moringa leaf powder solution were prepared in triplicates. The organoleptic acceptance (color, taste, aroma, and texture) was evaluated using a hedonic test by 30 semi-trained panelists. Iron content was analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and vitamin C content was determined by titration. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (α = 0.05). The results showed that the substitution significantly affected the iron and vitamin C content (p < 0.001). Iron levels increased significantly with higher substitution levels (0.16 ± 0.01, 0.21 ± 0.00, and 0.26 ± 0.02 mg per 25 g; Duncan a < b < c). Vitamin C levels also differed significantly, with the 30% formulation showing higher values than the 40% and 50% formulations (3.31 ± 0.00 mg vs. 3.10 ± 0.01 mg and 3.03 ± 0.00 mg per 25 g, respectively; Duncan a > b = b). In conclusion, substitution with moringa leaf powder solution improves the micronutrient content of calamansi gummy candy, with the 50% formulation providing the highest iron content.
