Abstract

Seminyak (Champereia manillana) is a local food crop from Rokan Hulu, Riau, which is often consumed as a vegetable. Although traditionally used, valid scientific information regarding its nutritional composition is limited, which hinders its development as a functional food. This study aimed to analyze the proximate nutritional and fiber content of Seminyak leaves to evaluate their potential as functional food. The proximate content (moisture, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrates) and fiber content were analyzed using AOAC 1993 and FOSS Analytical standard methods. The results were descriptively analyzed by presenting the values obtained from these tests. The analysis results showed that Seminyak leaves have a significant protein content of 4.41% and a high ash content of 2.37%. The fat content was very low (0%). The average values of other proximate nutrients included water (78.85%), carbohydrates (9.72%), and crude fiber (2.9%). With this nutritional profile, especially the high protein and mineral (ash) content and low fat content, Seminyak leaves have great potential as a source of vegetable protein and minerals and as a raw material for developing functional food products, which can contribute to local food diversification and food security.

Abstract

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, frequently linked to overweight and obesity. This condition can elevate the risk of metabolic complications and infertility; therefore, early intervention through nutritional strategies is crucial.This study aimed to examine the association between dietary intake and body mass index (BMI) in women diagnosed with PCOS. A cross-sectional design was used, involving 30 participants in Semarang, conducted from September to November 2024.  The data on nutrient intake, including energy, carbohydrates, protein and fat, were collected using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Body weight was measured using a digital scale and height was measured with a portable stadiometer (Seca). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation tests. The results of the study showed a significant correlation between protein, energy, and fat intake and BMI (p<0.01), while the correlation between carbohydrate intake and BMI was not significant (p=0.060). Protein intake had the strongest correlation with BMI (r=0.640) followed by energy (r=0.531), fat (r=0.470) and carbohydrates (r=0.347). The results highlight the significance of macronutrient intake management, especially protein, in weight control for women with PCOS

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus affects 10.5% of the global population, and its prevalence is expected to increase by 2045. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is commonly associated with abnormal HbA1c levels, lipid metabolism, and body mass index (BMI). A low glycemic index (GI) has been proposed to improve HbA1c, lipid profiles, and BMI, but the findings remain inconsistent, and most studies have been conducted in non-Asian populations. This study evaluated the effect of a low-GI diet on HbA1c levels in Asian adults with T2DM. Systematic searches in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases identified randomized controlled trials (2014-2024) involving adults (≥18 years) with T2DM, excluding pregnant and breastfeeding women. Meta-analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted, and meta-regression was used to assess the moderators.  Study quality was assessed using the ROB-2 and GRADE. Of the 1,485 articles screened, 16 met the inclusion criteria. The low-GI diet significantly reduced HbA1c and LDL levels and increased HDL levels. Subgroup analysis showed variations between the intervention and control groups, with the percentage of female participants and supplementation type as potential moderators. Despite statistical significance, the small effect size, heterogeneity, and low-to-moderate certainty of evidence (GRADE) suggest limited clinical relevance. Further research should consider the sample size, female proportion, and type of intervention in the control group to strengthen the evidence for clinical and policy applications.

Abstract

Multicultural hospitals face challenges in providing nutritional care that accommodates patients’ cultural beliefs and dietary practices. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the transcultural nursing model in improving nutritional care and patient satisfaction in a multicultural hospital setting in Japan. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was conducted at a Type B Regional General Hospital in Ambon, Maluku Province, Indonesia, from January to April 2025. A total of 120 adult inpatients were randomly assigned to an intervention group receiving culturally tailored nutritional nursing care based on Leininger’s Transcultural Nursing Model and a control group receiving standard nursing care. Data were collected using the Nutritional Care Satisfaction Scale (NCSS) and the Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ) and analyzed using parametric statistical tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in nutritional care satisfaction and overall nursing care satisfaction than the control group (p < 0.01; Cohen’s d > 1.7). In conclusion, these findings indicate that the transcultural nursing model effectively enhances culturally sensitive nutritional care and patient satisfaction in multicultural hospital settings.

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension is increasing globally, including in Indonesia. Therefore, dietary patterns such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet are recommended to help control blood pressure. However, research on adherence to the DASH diet and its relationship with blood pressure in Indonesia is still limited, especially in long-term cohort studies. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between changes in dietary quality and blood pressure. This study design is a retrospective cohort study used secondary data from the Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factor Cohort Study (FRPTM) conducted in five urban villages in Bogor City from 2011 to 2018, involving 1,724 adult respondents. The analysis was performed using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analyses. The results showed no significant relationship between diet quality at baseline, follow-up, or changes in diet quality and the blood pressure. However, individuals with worsening diet quality had a 1.2-fold higher risk of developing hypertension (OR=1.237; 95%CI=0.886–1.727), while those with stable poor diet quality had a 1.3-fold higher risk (OR=1.285; 95%CI=0.905–1.824) than individuals with improved diet quality. In conclusion, these findings suggest that a decline in dietary quality may increase the risk of hypertension.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major health concern among pre-elderly women, particularly those aged ≥45 years, as the hormonal changes associated with menopause exacerbate susceptibility. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of combined red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus), green kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa), and young coconut water (Cocos nucifera) juice on blood pressure among women aged 45–59 years with prehypertension at the Sawah Lebar Primary Health Center in Bengkulu. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was used with 30 participants in this study. Participants were assigned to the intervention (n=15; 230 mL juice twice daily for 7 days combined with exercise and nutrition counseling) or control (n = 15; counseling only) groups. Blood pressure was measured at baseline and post-intervention. Statistical analyses were performed using paired and independent t-tests (p<0.05) and ANCOVA. The intervention group showed a significant reduction in systolic (137.0±1.81 to 122.47±2.32 mmHg) and diastolic pressures (87.07±1.43 to 81.87±1.50 mmHg) compared with the control group (systolic: 135.87±2.29 to 132.40±2.77 mmHg; diastolic: 87.27±1.22 to 84.87±1.55 mmHg). The high potassium content (1,041.5 mg/serving) may enhance vasodilation, inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, and reduce sodium retention. Confounders (BMI, sodium intake, and physical activity) contributed <25% of the variance. This functional juice effectively reduced blood pressure, supporting its role in non-pharmacological strategies for hypertension management. Larger and longer trials are required to confirm the long-term benefits.

Abstract

School-based nutrition promotion is essential for improving adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes toward healthy eating and government-supported nutrition programs. However, junior high school students have a limited understanding of and less favorable attitudes toward the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a six-week school-based interactive nutrition promotion intervention integrated into the MBG on students’ knowledge and attitudes in West Aceh, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group was conducted among 277 students in grades VII–IX at the State Junior High School 3 Meulaboh. Participants were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling and assigned to the intervention (n = 140) and control (n = 137) groups. The intervention group received structured interactive nutrition education sessions, whereas the control group received only MBG. Knowledge and attitudes were measured using validated questionnaires, before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann–Whitney U tests. The results showed significant improvements in knowledge and attitude scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Integrating interactive nutrition promotion into school meal programs effectively enhances students’ understanding and attitudes, supporting the educational value and sustainability of the MBG.

Abstract

Ultra-processed foods generally contain high levels of energy, sugar, sodium, and saturated fat, and low levels of fiber and micronutrients. Excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods can potentially trigger metabolic dysfunction via inflammatory pathways, insulin resistance, and lipid homeostasis disorders. This study aimed to review the scientific evidence regarding the relationship between ultra-processed food consumption and the risk of metabolic syndrome. This narrative literature review was conducted using a systematic search of the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases (2020–2025). The inclusion criteria were observational studies on related topics, articles in English, and full texts, while the exclusion criteria were studies on animals/cell cultures and non-full-text articles. The results of this study showed a consistent relationship between UPF consumption and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome. Individuals in the highest quartile of UPF consumption were 3.27 times more likely to develop metabolic syndrome (OR=3.27; 95% CI: 2.76–3.89; p<0.001). Additionally, high UPF consumption was associated with increased weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c levels, and triglyceride levels. In conclusion, high UPF consumption consistently increases the risk of metabolic syndrome; therefore, limiting UPF and improving the diet may be a preventive strategy.

Abstract

Nutrient intake during adolescence plays an essential role in supporting optimal growth and development of the body. Eating disorders are common problems experienced by adolescent girls. Several factors may contribute to the occurrence of eating disorders, including the level of nutritional knowledge and body image perception. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between nutritional knowledge and body image and the risk of eating disorders among adolescent girls in Malang City. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 160 adolescent girls from five public vocational high schools in Malang City were selected using cluster sampling. The study will be conducted from August 2024 to January 2025. Nutrition knowledge was assessed using a 14-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies, body image was measured using the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-34), and the risk of eating disorders was determined using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Data were analyzed using the Spearman's correlation test. The results showed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between nutrition knowledge (r = -0.292) and body image (r = 0.368) and the risk of eating disorders among adolescent girls in Malang City. These findings indicate that eating disorders among adolescent girls are influenced not only by nutritional aspects but also by psychological factors.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in West Sulawesi, where structural and operational constraints limit the effectiveness of nutrition interventions. Local food-based supplementary feeding programs require systematic evaluation to understand their implementation performance within primary health care systems. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of a local food-based supplementary feeding program to improve child nutritional outcomes in West Sulawesi. This descriptive qualitative study with a cross-sectional evaluation approach was conducted in the Mamuju, Majene, and Mamasa districts between November and December 2023. A total of 99 participants were involved, including 38 program managers and 61 mothers of beneficiary children. Data were collected through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, structured questionnaires, and direct observations. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Data triangulation was applied to enhance credibility. The results showed that the program was implemented in accordance with national technical guidelines but lacked locally adapted operational regulations. Most mothers (93.4%) reported weight gain among their children following program participation, and 23 of 54 undernourished children in one district showed short-term improvement in nutritional status. Key implementation challenges included limited nutrition personnel, delayed fund disbursement, inconsistent monitoring, and geographic barriers. In conclusion, the local food-based supplementary feeding program contributed to short-term improvements in child nutritional outcomes but faced operational constraints that limited optimal implementation. Strengthening governance, monitoring systems, and health workforce capacity is essential to improve program effectiveness.
