Abstract

Background: Food preferences play an important role in determining eating habits. School-age children spend a significant amount of time in school; therefore, school food environment can influence their eating habits and ultimately their nutritional status. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate eating habits and food preferences (with a focus on vegetables and snacks) among normal, overweight and obese of full-day school children in urban areas of Surabaya City. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a full-day elementary school in Surabaya City, Indonesia, involving 110 students. Dietary habits were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, while nutritional status was evaluated by measuring weight and height. The students' nutritional status was determined using the BMI-for-age index with the WHO AnthroPlus software. Differences between variables were analyzed using the Chi-Square test, Fisher’s Exact test, and Likelihood Ratio test. Results: A high prevalence of overweight and obesity (41.8%) was observed in this study, with boys showing a higher prevalence than girls. Overweight/obese boys tended to eat more frequently and had a lower proportion of breakfast habits compared to girls, although these differences were not statistically significant (p-value>0.05). Food preferences for vegetables (carrot, spinach, water spinach) were similar between normal-weight and overweight/obese children. However, there were slight differences in snack preferences, with boys showing a greater preference for snacks than girls. Conclusions: The high prevalence of overnutrition among school-aged children, particularly boys, requires greater attention from parents and schools. Both home and school food environments should consistently promote healthy eating to improve children's nutritional status by encouraging regular breakfast habits in boys and providing healthier snack options.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of stunting in Trenggalek Regency is high, i.e. 38.63%. This problem occurred in ten villages from various sub-districts and affected over 500 children. Various intervention methods have been implemented to address stunting, but the education for midwives and posyandu cadres as agents of change remains relatively uncommon. Objectives: To assess the impact of specific nutritional interventions carried out by cadres and village midwives on the prevalence of stunting, child development (behavioral, mental, and psychomotor), and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of children over 24 months in Trenggalek. Methods: The research used a quasi-experiment design with a pre-test – post-test approach. Specific nutrition interventions were provided to the agents through nutrition education and training based on balanced nutrition guidelines and breastfeeding counseling from the World Health Organization (WHO). Assistance was also provided to pregnant women during their first trimester. The collected data included the growth, development, and IQ of children aged 0-24 months. Results: The nutrition knowledge of the agent improved after the intervention, with an average score of 63.0±16.2 before the intervention and 76.8±14.7 after. The prevalence of stunting in selected health centers has decreased to 7.5%. This contributes to achieving a low stunting "green" status for the regency. Conclusions: This study shows that increasing the knowledge of change agents can effectively reduce stunting. Stunting prevention can be achieved through proper maternal and childcare practices, including early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding, and complete immunization.

Abstract

Background: Food Waste (FW) remains a major concern both domestically and globally, with households being the largest contributors. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the total generation of FW in households at risk of stunting and analyze its determinants in urban and rural areas of Bogor Regency. Methods: A quantitative method with a cross-sectional study design was conducted from June to July 2023 in Ciampea and Sukajaya Subsitricts, Bogor Regency. This study involved 168 households as the samples, calculated using the SNI 19-3964-1994 method for sampling and measuring urban waste generation and composition. The inclusion criterion was households with at least one stunting risk factor, according to the National Family Planning Coordination Body or BKKBN. FW determinants included family characteristics and practices (planning, purchasing, storing, cooking, and consuming). The obtained data were then analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results: The total FW generated was 5.51 kg/cap/year (urban: 4.08 kg/cap/year; rural: 5.07 kg/cap/year). The most wasted food groups were vegetables and cereals/tubers. Urban households with high income were 4.3 times more likely to generate FW (OR=4.32, CI=1.72 – 10.77). Meanwhile, those with inadequate knowledge were 3.49 times more likely to generate FW (OR=3.49, CI=1.39 – 8.79), and those not planning purchases and processing according to preferences were 4.3 times more likely to generate FW (OR=4.32, CI=1.72 – 10.77). Rural households that did not store food properly were 3.81 times more likely to generate FW (OR=3.81, CI=1.22 – 12.03). Conclusions: The total generation of FW in rural households was higher than in urban households. The determinants of FW in urban areas were income, knowledge, and planning practices, whereas in rural areas, it was storage practices.

Abstract

Background: One approach to preventing stunting is the provision of supplemental feeding (PMT). Tongkol fish bones are an underutilized waste product. An innovation in utilizing fish bone waste involves processing it into flour for inclusion in tempeh nugget formulations. Objectives: This study aims to develop a protein- and calcium-rich food source to support stunting prevention efforts among toddlers. Methods: This study employed an experimental design with quantitative analysis. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used with four factorial treatments and two replications. The ratios of Tongkol fish bone meal to wheat flour were 0:20 g, 5:15 g, 7:13 g, and 9:11 g. Chemical analysis was conducted to evaluate the nutritional content of tempeh nuggets, while organoleptic testing was employed to identify the optimal tempeh nugget formulation. Results: The selected formulation (F1, 25%) provided 84.8 kcal energy, 6 g protein, 4.15 g fat, 7.66 g carbohydrates, and 638.66 mg calcium per 100 g. A serving size of 7 pieces (50 g) contained 129 kcal energy, 6 g protein, 6 g fat, 11 g carbohydrates, and 292 mg calcium. Conclusions: Tempeh nuggets enriched with fish bone flour can be considered a viable source of protein and calcium, meeting nutritional claim thresholds.

Abstract

Background: The tile industry is known for its demanding nature, primarily due to the high energy requirements involved. The manual production methods necessitate significant physical exertion, including the lifting and transportation of heavy, large tiles. This can lead to fatigue as a result of lactic acid buildup in the muscles. Research indicates that burnout rates among workers in the tile industry can reach as high as 82%. Objectives: To analyze the effect of vitamin C consumption and drinking water consumption on perceived fatigue levels among female workers in the tile manufacturing sector. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design, involving a sample of 52 female workers engaged in tile production for each group. Each group participated in an experimental procedure lasting 6 days, after which they were assessed for levels of fatigue. The independent variables examined were the intake of Vitamin C and water, while the dependent variable was the participants' subjective experience of fatigue. Subjective fatigue was quantified using the Work Fatigue Feelings Measurement Questionnaire (KAUPK2). The statistical methods applied included the Wilcoxon Test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The findings indicated that both Vitamin C intake and water consumption significantly influenced subjective fatigue levels before and after the intervention (p-value=0.000). Based on the results of the analysis before being given vitamin C, the subjective fatigue score was 51 after being given vitamin C, it dropped to 25. In contrast, before the introduction of drinking water, the subjective fatigue score was 48.23, which subsequently fell to 31.52 after water consumption. The analysis revealed a notable difference in the average subjective work fatigue scores post-intervention. Conclusions: The intake of Vitamin C and adequate water consumption effectively reduces subjective work fatigue among female tile-making workers. Consequently, it is recommended that industry owners ensure the provision of sufficient drinking water and Vitamin C for their employees.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is critical to starting life in its earliest phases. Breast milk alone provides adequate nutrition for infants from delivery until six months. The EBF achievement in Madura in 2022 was only 37.9%, far from the target set by the World Health Organization of 50% in 2025. Objectives: The study examined the role of birthplace on EBF in Madura Island in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 990 Madurese children was conducted. The researcher looked at 11 control variables, including regency, residence, mother age, marital status, education, occupation, wealth, antenatal care (ANC), early initiation breastfeeding (EIBF), child's age, and sex, and EBF activity as the outcome variable and childbirth as the exposure variable. As the last step, the author performed a binary logistic regression test. Results: Madura Island had a 37.9% EBF proportion. Meanwhile, 90.1% of births take place in healthcare facilities. According to the birthplace, mothers who gave birth in healthcare facilities were 1.939 times more likely to perform EBF than those who gave birth in non-healthcare facilities (AOR 1.939; 95% CI 1.854-2.037). Moreover, the study also found eleven control variables related to EBF among Madurese. Conclusions: Birthplace was related to EBF among Madurese. To achieve EBF, childbirth in healthcare facilities was almost twice that of childbirth in non-healthcare facilities. The study recommends only giving birth in a health facility. On the other hand, increasing the intensity of contact with health services during pregnancy and childbirth is necessary.

Abstract

Background: Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is recognized for its immunomodulatory properties, which can rejuvenate, regulate, and modulate immune system function. As a rich source of antioxidants, mangosteen peel has the potential to enhance immune responses and improve overall health status. However, further investigation into the biological mechanisms underlying its immunomodulatory effects remains limited. Objectives: This review aims to explore the various biological functions of mangosteen peel related to immunomodulation and examine its therapeutic potential in improving human health. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted, focusing on articles published between 2013 and 2023. From a total of 132 articles identified, ten were selected based on relevance and research quality. Discussions: The review reveals significant associations between the properties of mangosteen peel, such as its anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant activities, and the complex network of immune cell responses. Nevertheless, most studies have not clearly identified the specific compounds responsible for these immunomodulatory effects, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Further comprehensive studies are necessary to isolate and identify the bioactive compounds in mangosteen peel extract, beyond xanthones, to better understand their diverse therapeutic effects and mechanisms. Well-designed clinical trials involving diverse populations, including vulnerable groups, are essential to validate the efficacy and safety of the extract in various therapeutic contexts. Conclusions: This review provides valuable insights into the potential of mangosteen peel as an immunomodulator and lays the groundwork for future research aimed at utilizing its therapeutic properties to improve human health.

Abstract

Background: Gestational Weight Gain (GWG) is correlated to the growth and development of foetus and pregnancy outcomes. Probiotics have a positive effect on gestational weight gain. Dadih is a traditional West Sumatra food containing 108 CFU/ml of probiotics. Objectives: This research aimed to investigate the effect of dadih functional bread on gestational weight gain. Methods: This research is a Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT) design with double blinds with a gestational age of 12-20 weeks belonging to 88 pregnant women. The tests for weight balancing scales were used. The data were examined using Independent T-test for difference test and General Liniar Model (GLM) repeated measures, and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The average GWG was significantly 2 kg greater for the intervention group related to the control group (7.3±2.6 kg vs 5.4±3.8 kg). The GWG in the intervention group exceeded the recommended GWG per month. The results indicated that weight gain was difference across the four-time measurements in both groups. There was a significant different in the average GWG among the intervention control and the control group (p-value<0.001). Conclusions: Dadih functional bread supplementation for three months significantly effect the gestational weight gain. Thus, the consumption of the dadih products can be considered when planning the nutrition to advance the nutritional status of pregnant women.
