Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding, a crucial foundation for infant health, provides essential protective nutrition and a complex array of immune-protective factors. Breastfeeding as a natural, protective, and ethical practice is very important to support the health of infants and, by extension, the health of future generations. Objectives: The author emphasizes the biological components of breast milk as physiological protection for infant immunity and highlights the importance of breastfeeding promotion and protection within ideological and cultural contexts. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was performed using online database from Google Scholar to explore the immunological foundation of breastfeeding from original research articles published in recent 5 years. Discussions: Maternal health and maternal immunity are transferred to the infant through breast milk, providing a temporary but significant shield against pathogens. Ethical and philosophical dimensions of breastfeeding as an intrinsic maternal practice that extends beyond nutrition to embody intergenerational health protection. Conclusions: The role of breastfeeding as a natural, protective, and ethical practice is very important to support the health of infants and, by extension, the health of future generations. Philosophically and theoretically grounded strategies are effective in enhancing exclusive breastfeeding rates, particularly in treatments focused on breastfeeding education, empowerment, and counselling. Assistance in the initial days and weeks following delivery is crucial, as this timeframe is critical for the effective establishment of lactation.

Abstract

Background: The Adolescents are currently facing the triple burden, which includes undernutrition, overnutrition or obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies. The nutritional status of adolescents was influenced by chrononutrition. Chrononutrition has a significant relationship with nutritional status. However, there are no studies in Indonesia that specifically examine the relationship between chrononutrition and nutritional status, Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), and anemia in adolescent girls. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between chrononutrition and nutritional status in adolescents. Methods: This study was cross-sectional, that was conducted in Senior High School in Widodaren, Ngawi, in August until september 2024. The population in this study were teenager aged 14-19 years with a sampel size of 100 respondents calculated using the Lemeshow formula. The independent variable was chrononutrition namely breakfast skipping, evening eating and night eating. The chrononutrition was obtained using Chrononutrition Profile Questionnaire. Meanwhile the dependent variable was nutritional status using Body Mass Index/Age, anemia level using hemoglobin and chronic energy deficiency level which was obtained by mid upper arm circumference. The data was analyzed by chi square and fisher. Results: There was a relationship between chrononutrition namely breakfast skip (p-value=0.046), night eating (p-value=0.016), and evening eating (p-value=0.01) with nutritional status. There was relationship between chrononutrition namely breakfast skipping (p-value=0.003), night eating (p-value=0.001) and evening eating (p-value=0.03) with Anemia in Adolescent Girl. There was no relationship between chrononutrition namely breakfast skipping, and evening eating with MUAC in Adolescent girl, but there was relationship between night eating with MUAC. Conclusions: There was relationship between chrononutrition, namely breakfast skipping, night eating and evening eating with nutritional status and anemia. There was relationship between night eating with chronic energy deficiency. Meanwhile there was no relationship between chrononutrition, namely breakfast skipping and evening eating with chronic energy deficency.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional status is an indicator of growth, and the first two years of a child's life should be closely observed because it is a critical period for development. Failure to grow during this period will affect nutritional status. Many factors affect a child's nutritional status, including sociodemographic factors and patterns of complementary feeding of breast milk. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the influence of sociodemographic factors and patterns of complementary feeding on the nutritional status of children under two years old in coastal areas of North Sumatra. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach involving 212 mother-child pairs aged 6-23 months in Pantai Labu District. Data collection involved structured questionnaires and interviews covering family characteristics, initial food introduction, breastfeeding status, and child age. Nutritional status was assessed through child length and weight measurements. Multiple logistic regression tests were conducted for multivariate analysis, and bivariate tests using chi-square. Results: The results showed that there was an influence of maternal knowledge (p-value=0.008; OR=2.678), maternal education (p-value=0.005; OR=2.807), and economic status (p-value=0.0001) on children's nutritional status. Most mothers (78.8%) provided timely complementary feeding and maintained hygienic practices (81.1%). Despite this, 15-20% of children exhibited poor nutritional status across weight-for-age, length-for-age, and weight-for-length indicators. Conclusions: Children's nutritional status in coastal areas is significantly influenced by sociodemographic factors. Integrated interventions targeting maternal capabilities and family economic conditions are crucial for improving child nutrition.

Abstract

Background: The high prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in Bondowoso Regency, affecting 16.4% of women of reproductive age and 17.67% of pregnant women in 2023, indicates the need for further analysis of its contributing factors. CED increases the risk of maternal and infant mortality, as well as adverse cases such as low birth weight and stunting. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze suspected contributing factors and determine the most dominant factor associated with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women in the working area of Tlogosari Health Center, Bondowoso Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a case-control design, involving 96 pregnant women (48 with CED and 48 without CED) in Tlogosari Subdistrict. The analyzed variables included age, education, history of infectious diseases, parity, pregnancy spacing, dietary patterns, nutritional knowledge, and socioeconomic status. Data were collected through questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, odds ratios, and logistic regression. The sample was selected using simple random sampling. Results: The logistic regression test results indicated that nutritional knowledge (OR=7.509; 95%CI=1.948-28.954; p-value=0.003) and history of infectious diseases (OR=0.091; 95%CI=0.023-0.367; p-value=0.001) were significantly associated with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women in the working area of Tlogosari Community Health Center. Conclusions: Poor nutritional knowledge and a history of infectious diseases were significantly associated with CED, with nutritional knowledge emerging as the most dominant factor. Improving personal hygiene practices and enhancing nutritional education during pregnancy are essential to reduce the risk of CED.

Abstract

Background: Overweight and obesity are conditions caused by overnutrition, where an individual has an excessive nutrient intake. These conditions can lead to blood glucose and lipid problems. Sago rice, rich in resistant starch and fiber, offers a potential solution to this issue. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of eating sago rice over 4 weeks on the biochemical (glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride) and nutritional (body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), total fat, and visceral fat contents) parameters in overweight and obese participants. Methods: Each participant consumed approximately 200 g of sago rice during lunch for 4 weeks. The researchers measured the participants’ body weight and height, which were then used to calculate their BMI before and after consuming the sago rice. They also performed Bioelectrical Impedance Analyses (BIA) to calculate the participants’ body and visceral fat percentages before and after consumption. The participant’s total cholesterol and triglycerides were also examined before and after the sago-rice consumption using the spectrophotometry method. Results: After 4 weeks of sago-rice consumption, the results highlighted a significant decrease in body weight, BMI, and body fat percentage (p-value<0.05). This study demonstrated that consuming sago rice for 4 weeks could significantly decrease the participants’ total cholesterol levels by approximately 18 mg/dL, from 257.33 mg/dL to 239.48 mg/dL (p-value<0.05). Conversely, the participants’ triglyceride levels increased (p-value<0.05). However, blood glucose concentration was not significantly different (p-value>0.05). Conclusions: Therefore, sago rice consumption can help reduce body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and total cholesterol levels in overweight and obese individuals.

Abstract

Background: Regardless of social background, brownies are popular snack among people of all ages, including adults and children. The goal of developing brownies with modified banana flour is to lessen reliance on wheat flour and provide a gluten-free, healthier substitute. More inventive product creation is required because of disparity in sensory qualities of brownie items that are currently on the market. Since starch makes up majority of banana flour, modifying the starch can help to improve the flour's quality. Physical modification is one technique that can be applied to enhance the quality and functionality of banana flour in brownie recipes. Objectives: To determine the sensory properties and nutritional content of brownies with modified banana flour (Musa paradisiaca) substitution. Methods: The research design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments (K=5), 1 experimental unit and 3 repetitions. The treatment carried out was by substituting modified banana flour for wheat flour in brownies products with various different formulations. The resulting brownies products were then analyzed for sensory tests and nutritional content including water content, protein content, fat content, fiber content, ash content, carbohydrates and energy. Results: The results showed that the addition of 80% modified banana flour provided the most preferred sensory properties by respondents in terms of color, aroma, texture, and taste. The nutritional content of 80% modified banana flour substitute brownies including water content, protein content, fat content, fiber content, ash content and carbohydrates were respectively 11.77%; 5.69%; 20.31%; 2.25%; 1.08% and 58.90%. Conclusions: Brownies substituted with modified banana flour have high nutritional content, making it a good choice to meet daily nutritional needs.

Abstract

Background: Doping threatens sport and athlete health. Limited knowledge and insufficient access to anti-doping education increase the risk of intentional or unintentional violations. In Indonesia, very few studies have focused on athletes’ understanding of anti-doping regulations and their educational experiences. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the level of anti-doping knowledge and the sources of information that athletes received as a basis for strengthening clean sport practices. Methods: This cross-sectional quantitative study enrolled 149 Indonesian athletes who answered an online standardized questionnaire previously tested for validity and reliability. The instrument encompassed knowledge and educational experiences related to anti-doping. To examine differences in knowledge scores across demographic characteristics, data were analyzed descriptively and by bivariate comparisons. Results: Participants were predominantly 12–17 years old (58.4%), male (65.1%), and represented 18 sports disciplines. Only 36.9% had ever received anti-doping education, and most information was received from coaches. The mean knowledge score was 68.5 (SD=19.9), with 38% classified as having a good knowledge level. Age was the only demographic factor significantly associated with knowledge scores (p-value=0.039). Conclusions: Indonesian athletes generally have moderate anti-doping knowledge, with notable disparities between age groups and weaknesses in specific areas of understanding. Most athletes reported receiving anti-doping information from coaches and the Indonesia Anti-Doping Organization. These findings highlight the need to develop more targeted and experience-based education strategies that actively involve key stakeholders to ensure consistent and standardized delivery of information.

Abstract

Background: Growing burden of non-communicable diseases is a major public health concern in India, with nearly one in five individuals aged 15-49 overweight or obese. In this context, front of pack food labelling is often proposed to guide consumers towards healthier food choices. Yet, there is limited research on how Indian consumers actually interpret and respond to such labels, leaving a gap in understanding its real-world influence on purchasing decisions. Objectives: To examine nutrition label literacy and its influence on consumer behavior in India. The study aimed to assess label understanding, identify factors to effective use, and explore strategies to enhance label functionality. Methods: Scoping review was conducted adopting the PRISMA-ScR method. Literature published from January 2004 to July 2024 was systematically searched on Scopus, PubMed, and ProQuest databases. Studies were included if they examined knowledge, awareness or implementation of nutrition labelling among Indian consumers. Discussions: 12 of 1256 cited articles were included. Findings showed that barriers to effective label use included inadequate use of detailed information, inclination towards user-friendly format such as warning labels, and pervasive misinformation related to packaged foods. Educational interventions, especially among youth, had the potential to enhance label literacy. While FSSAI has made regulatory progress, the voluntary and inconsistent Front-of-Pack (FoP) labelling remains insufficient. Conclusions: Nutrition labelling in India has not reached its full effect. Mandatory warning labelling, standardized packaging, school-based education, and active regulatory action are proposed. Stepwise, multi-sectoral action is the key to labelling of food products becoming a stronger public health intervention.
