Abstract

Background: Food security is a fundamental challenge to improving the health of children and adolescents. West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, Indonesia, and East Lombok Regency face child nutrition issues, with one in three under-fives suffering from stunting linked to food security. Objectives: This study will analyse food security, dietary patterns, and the role of mothers with under-fives in stunting-prone and non-stunting-prone areas. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 228 families with children under five years of age. Data collected included maternal characteristics (age, education, occupation, income and nutritional status) and child characteristics (age, sex, nutritional status and health status, maternal knowledge level, dietary patterns, household food security and data on the mother’s role in infant care). Maternal nutritional status was determined using BMI-for-age, whilst infant nutritional status was determined using weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height indices. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and t-test.  Results: A total of 59.7% of mothers were overweight and 64.0% of children were underweight. Families with varying levels of vulnerability (mild, moderate and severe) accounted for 75.0%, whilst only 25.0% were food secure; 71.1% of families had inadequate dietary patterns, and 54.4% of mothers practised good childcare practices. There was a significant difference between mothers’ knowledge, parenting practices and household food security (p-value<0.001). Conclusions: A mother’s role in her child’s upbringing determines the child’s nutritional status. This upbringing encompasses appropriate feeding, health monitoring and emotional support. Strengthening the mother’s role in her child’s health could serve as a strategy to reduce stunting rates.

Abstract

Background: The nutritional management of CKD has traditionally focused on total protein intake. While animal proteins provide high bioavailability, their acid load production may contribute to CKD. Plant proteins serve as alternative sources due to their protective properties. Thus, the optimal plant-to-animal protein ratio is essential for developing dietary strategies that balance nutritional requirements with long-term renal preservation. Objectives: This review aimed to synthesize current evidence on the association between plant protein intake and kidney-related outcomes across different populations and CKD stages. Methods: Cohort studies were included, investigating adult populations with or without CKD. Exposure variables comprise plant protein intake or the proportion of plant-to-total protein, compared with lower plant protein or higher animal protein consumption. Outcomes assessed included eGFR, CKD incidence, and all-cause mortality. Literature searches used predefined keywords related to protein sources and kidney outcomes. Data were extracted and narratively synthesized following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. Results: Seven studies conducted between 2016 and 2025 across China, Iran, the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom were included. Higher intake of plant protein was consistently associated with better kidney outcomes, including higher eGFR, slower decline in kidney function, reduced CKD, and lower mortality risk among individuals with impaired kidney function. Additionally, plant protein intake may mitigate the negative impact of sedentary behavior on CKD risk. Conclusions: Plant proteins play a protective role in kidney health. Incorporating plant-based protein into a healthy lifestyle may be a modifiable strategy for preventing and managing CKD.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a growing global health concern, including in Indonesia, where its prevalence continues to rise. Persistent hyperglycemia and the resulting oxidative stress contribute to hepatic injury, including steatosis and hepatocellular necrosis. Cocoa contains polyphenolic compounds such as catechin and epicatechin, which are known to exert antioxidant effects and may help attenuate oxidative damage. Objective: This study evaluated the effect of chocolate drink administration on liver histopathological changes, particularly necrosis and steatosis, in a diabetic rat model. Methods: A post-test-only control group design was employed using 25 male Sprague Dawley rats divided into five groups: normal control (K–), diabetic control (K+), and three treatment groups receiving chocolate drinks at concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6% (equivalent to 40, 80, and 120 mg/200 g body weight/day) for 14 days. Diabetes was induced through a high-fat diet followed by streptozotocin injection. Liver tissues were stained with hematoxylin–eosin. Necrosis was assessed using the Manja Roenigk scoring system, while steatosis was evaluated based on percentage criteria. Results: A significant difference in hepatocyte necrosis was observed among groups (p=0.016), with treated groups showing lower necrosis compared to the diabetic control. In contrast, steatosis did not differ significantly between groups (p=0.515). Conclusion: Chocolate drink administration was associated with reduced hepatocellular necrosis in diabetic rats, suggesting a protective effect likely mediated by antioxidant mechanisms. However, no significant improvement in steatosis was observed within the short intervention period. Longer treatment duration or alternative dosing strategies may be required to influence lipid accumulation in the liver.

Abstract

Background: Food security remains a major challenge for low-income households, especially in geographically and socioeconomically diverse regions such as tropical forests, coastal areas, and urban settings. Food coping strategies are crucial mechanisms used by households to address food insecurity. Objectives: This study aims to examine the relationship between food coping strategies and food security among low-income households in coastal, tropical forest, and urban areas of East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted in three regions: Samarinda City (urban), Muara Badak (coastal), and Muara Wahau (tropical forest). Respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires on socio-demographics, food coping strategies (RCSI), and food security status (US-HFSSM). Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, t-tests, ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Results : The majority of households in tropical forest areas demonstrated high coping strategies (72.5%) and good food security (82.4%). Coastal households had the lowest coping capabilities (56.4%) and the highest rate of food insecurity (50%). In urban areas, 44.3% of households remained food insecure despite better access to food markets. Conclusions:There is a significant relationship between food coping strategies and food security, particularly in tropical forest and urban areas. Households in tropical forests benefit from local natural resources and traditional knowledge, enhancing their food security. In contrast, coastal and urban areas require targeted interventions to strengthen adaptive capacities and food access among low-income households.

Abstract

Background: Hemodialysis therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease carries a high risk of malnutrition and chronic inflammation, contributing to poor clinical outcomes. Dietary intake is a key consideration in nutritional management, yet its relationship with nutritional status and inflammation remains inconsistent. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between dietary intake, nutritional assessment, and inflammatory markers in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This study employs a cross-sectional design, involving 80 adult patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Data on macronutrient and micronutrient intake were obtained using a 24-hour dietary recall method. Nutritional assessment was evaluated using body fat percentage, mid-upper arm circumference, serum albumin and the Malnutrition Inflammation Score. Inflammatory profile was assessed using hs-CRP and TIBC. Spearman correlation and multivariate linear regression analyses was applied. Results: Energy and protein intake per kilogram of body weight were inversely correlated with body fat percentage (r=−0.379 and −0.417, respectively; p-value<0.01) and MUAC (r=−0.270 and −0.338; p-value<0.05). Multivariate analyses showed that dietary intake, age and dialysis duration were not independent predictors of serum albumin or MIS. However, regression models for body fat percentage and MUAC were significant (p-value<0.05), explaining 17% of the variance. No statistically significant associations were observed between dietary intake and inflammatory profiles. Conclusions: Dietary intake contributes to variations in body composition but is not an independent determinant of biochemical or inflammatory indicators. Nutritional and inflammatory status in hemodialysis patients is multifactorial, highlighting the need for comprehensive nutritional assessment.

Abstract

Background: Repeatedly heated cooking oil promotes dyslipidemia and oxidative stress, both major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Spirulina platensis, a microalga rich in bioactive compounds, has been proposed as a protective agent against these effects. Objectives: This study evaluated the protective effects of Spirulina platensis on dyslipidemia and oxidative stress induced by repeatedly heated cooking oil in Wistar rats. Methods: Eighteen male Wistar rats (220–250 g) were divided into three groups (n=6): a negative control (standard diet), a positive control (standard diet plus heated cooking oil, 2 mL/rat/day), and a treatment group (heated oil plus spirulina, 330 mg/kg BW/day). After 28 days, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, atherogenic index, MDA, GSH, and SOD were measured spectrophotometrically. Results: Compared with the positive control, spirulina lowered total cholesterol from 180.0±15.6 to 140.0±9.5 mg/dL (−22.2%, p-value<0.001), triglycerides from 150.0±18.7 to 100.0±10.3 mg/dL (−33.3%, p-value<0.001), and LDL-C from 120.0±16.8 to 80.0±8.7 mg/dL (−33.3%, p-value<0.001). HDL-C rose from 30.0±4.2 to 45.0±6.1 mg/dL (+50.0%, p-value<0.001), while the atherogenic index fell from 5.0±0.8 to 2.1±0.4 (−58.0%, p-value<0.001). Oxidative stress markers also improved: MDA decreased from 7.28±0.92 to 4.33±0.58 nmol/mL (−40.5%), GSH increased from 2.20±0.38 to 3.44±0.46 µmol/L (+56.4%), and SOD from 4.18±0.72 to 6.97±0.83 U/mL (+66.7%) (all p-value<0.001). Conclusions: Spirulina supplementation (330 mg/kg BW/day) significantly attenuated dyslipidemia and oxidative stress induced by repeatedly heated cooking oil, improving lipid parameters by 22–50% and antioxidant status by 40–67%. These findings suggest spirulina has cardioprotective potential against oxidized dietary fats.
