Abstract

Background: Cases of underweight and anemia in Acehnese toddlers are high, requiring urgent intervention. A viable alternative is local food-based supplemental feeding, using high-protein and iron-rich meals. One of the examples is the innovative instant kanji rumbi porridge, which is made from Aceh's local protein sources. Objectives: The study aimed to analyze the effect of instant kanji rumbi porridge on hemoglobin (Hb) levels and the anemia status of underweight toddlers through a cluster-randomized control trial design. Methods: The study was conducted in three community health centers in Aceh Besar district and 15 posyandu (integrated service posts) clusters. 46 subjects selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria (23 in the intervention group and 23 in the control group). The intervention of instant kanji rumbi porridge was administered for 3 months, with each participant consuming it twice daily. Results: The instant kanji rumbi porridge intervention was successful in reducing the anemia rate from 92.3% of anemic toddlers at baseline to 60.7% by the end of the study. The consumption of instant kanji rumbi porridge significantly increased the energy and nutrient intake of the toddlers both before and after the intervention, as well as within the intervention groups. All groups exhibited an increase in Hb levels; however, the rise in the intervention group was substantially greater than that in the control group (p-value=0.013). Conclusions: Instant kanji rumbi porridge has the potential to be used as a complementary food for toddlers to increase macro and micronutrient intake, especially iron, hence elevating hemoglobin levels and reducing anemia in this age group.

Abstract

Background: Iron (Fe) deficiency is the leading cause of anemia worldwide due to the impact on hemoglobin (Hb) production. Meanwhile, several nutrients, including protein, iron, copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), vitamin A, and vitamin C, influence Hb levels. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of iron supplementation combined with sweet orange in increasing Hb levels. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was used with a total of 45 menstruating female students from Grades 8 and 9 as participants. These individuals were divided into two groups, one group received iron supplements (TTD) alone, while the other was given TTD combined with 130 grams of sweet orange, providing 63.7 mg of vitamin C, for 12 weeks. Hb levels before and after the intervention were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb device. An independent t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that the combination of TTD and vitamin C from sweet orange was significantly more effective in increasing Hb levels in adolescents compared to TTD alone (p-value=0.001). Conclusions: The combination of TTD and sweet orange was more effective in increasing Hb levels. These results provide valuable insights for government programs aimed at improving adolescent iron supplementation by incorporating vitamin C-rich food sources, such as sweet orange, to enhance iron absorption.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is linked to the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes, with excessive dietary fat intake being one of the primary causes. The development of fat animal models has been discovered to be a standard experimental strategy based on replicating human behaviour in food consumption. Objectives: This study aims to investigate how long-term consumption of a high-fat, high-fructose (HFHF) diet affects the indicators of diabetes mellitus in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, such as insulin sensitivity, by measuring the HOMA-IR, counting beta cells, and analyzing the histology of the pancreas. Methods: This experiment was conducted with 36 male SD rats in normal and HFHF groups. The normal groups had a modified AIN-93 M, while the HFHF group received a high-fat diet with 30% fructose-based water. Feed and beverage intakes were monitored every 24 hours to calculate daily caloric consumption (energy intake) for 17 weeks. Results: The results demonstrated a significant difference between the normal and HFHF groups in the HOMA-IR levels (insulin sensitivity) and number of pancreatic beta cells (p-value<0.05). This implied that following 17 weeks of HFHF intake, the HOMA-IR level of insulin sensitivity was reduced. However, the islet of Langerhans in pancreatic histopathology seemed damaged in the HFHF rats, as evidenced by the changes in their shape and lower beta cell number. Conclusions: Consuming the HFHF diet over an extended period increased glucose level, decreased insulin sensitivity, and damaged pancreatic histopathology.

Abstract

Background: Celebrity fad diets have garnered significant attention in recent years. Celebrity diets often gain popularity through social media, particularly Twitter, where users engage in discussions, debates, and promotions of various diet trends. Objectives: To analyze Indonesian’s public sentiment surrounding celebrity fad diets on Twitter social media using netnographic from twitter. Methods: This research used a mixed-methods approach with both qualitative and quantitative methods to find the public sentiments of the 5 chosen diets. The data were obtained through snscrape from GitHub, a Python-based tool that enables users to access various types of Twitter data, such as user profiles, hashtags, live tweets, top tweets, users, single or threaded tweets, list posts, communities, and trends. Results: Positive sentiment was found to be more prevalent than negative sentiment over the years, and the number of tweets increased each year. Intermittent fasting emerged as the most discussed diet on social media, likely due to its resemblance to fasting practices observed by Indonesia's Muslim population. On the other hand, the Atkins diet was the least talked-about, possibly because of its complex nature. Conclusions: The prevalence of Ketogenic and Very Low-Calorie Diet discussions in the context of Indonesian and K-Pop culture underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of these diets and their potential implications for health. Future research should consider diverse data sources, expand sample sizes, and collaborate with experts to gain a more comprehensive understanding of public opinions on diets.

Abstract

Background: Food insecurity in the home and well-informed moms' nutritional understanding can shield children from circumstances that result in low height and body mass index (BMI) for their age. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to ascertain the relationship between food insecurity in the home and mothers' nutritional awareness of the nutritional condition of children under five on Gili Iyang Island. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional method. The nutritional status of the children was assessed using anthropometric measurements. Additionally, data on demographic characteristics, maternal nutrition knowledge, and food insecurity were collected using questionnaires. The study involved 39 mothers/caregivers of children as respondents. Results: Mothers had a low degree of dietary awareness (84.62%). Stunting and wasting rates were 17.95% and 12.82%, respectively. The incidence of stunting decreased with increased nutritional knowledge of mothers (p-value=0.032, r=0.343), and there was a strong positive association between mothers' knowledge of nutrition and children's height-for-age. Nutritional status (HAZ) and household food security were significantly correlated (p-value<0.001). Conclusions: The conclusion was that there was an association between the nutritional knowledge of mothers and the status of children’s nutrition. There was a relationship between household food security and a child’s nutritional status.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of stunting remained high until 2024, namely 21.6%, making it a national problem. Stunting can be predicted early by using the length of the birth body. However, many people do not care about the length of the baby's body at birth. Many factors affect the length of the baby's body at birth, including genetic and external factors. Anemia in pregnant women is one of the determining factors for stunting, so giving iron tablets is very important to prevent stunting. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between iron tablet consumption and the baby's length at birth. Methods: This study was an analytical survey that examines the characteristics of mothers who have live-born babies with mature in 2019 to 2023 in Tugurejo Village. Data were collected from records in the Mother and Child Health/MCH book and direct interviews with research subjects. The number of samples was 108 babies and their mothers. The collected data were analyzed using chi square & logistic regression tests. Results: There was a significant relationship between taboo from consuming one source of protein (p-value=0.034), consumption of iron tablets during pregnancy (p-value=0.043), maternal age during pregnancy (p-value=0.001), and exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy (p-value=0.050) with baby's birth length. Meanwhile, the mother's height and the habit of drinking milk during pregnancy were not significantly related to the baby's birth length. Conclusions: The dominant variables related to the length of the baby's birth are the completeness of iron tablet consumption and the mother's age during pregnancy.
