Abstract

Background: Adequate nutrient intake in early childhood is critical for growth, cognitive development, and immune function. The first two years of life are a sensitive period where nutritional deficiencies may lead to long-term consequences. However, many children in low- and middle-income countries fail to meet dietary needs due to limited diversity and poor feeding practices. Objectives: To describe the intake of energy, macronutrients, and key micronutrients among Indonesian children aged 6–24 months

Abstract

Background: Animal-source foods (ASF) are a source of high-quality protein and bioavailable micronutrients such as iron and zinc, which are important for the growth of preschool children. However, despite high ASF intake, malnutrition in Jakarta is above the national prevalence. The types of ASF consumed may have contributed to this. Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between ASF intake and height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ) among preschool children aged 4–6 years in Jakarta.

Abstract

Background: Good nutritional knowledge is important for athletes to develop positive attitude and proper dietary practices, especially supporting training, competition, and peak performance. Lack of knowledge can lead to energy and nutrient imbalances, which can disrupt physiological adaptation, recovery, and athletic performance. Unlike previous studies on knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP), which generally only assess questionnaire scores on eating practices without directly analyzing dietary intake, this study takes a different approach by directly analyzing dietary intake and considering differences between rest days and training days. Objectives: To analyze the association between nutritional knowledge and attitudes towards dietary intake among competitive elite athletes in DKI Jakarta.

Abstract

Malnutrition remains a significant but often under-recognized challenge in the management of surgical patients worldwide. It is estimated that a substantial proportion of patients undergoing major surgery, particularly those with gastrointestinal or oncologic diseases, suffer from some degree of malnutrition1,2. The physiological stress induced by surgery, characterized by a hypermetabolic state and systemic inflammatory response, exacerbates existing nutritional deficits3. This synergistic effect leads to impaired immune function, delayed wound healing, increased muscle wasting, and a higher predisposition to postoperative complications such as sepsis and anastomotic leakage1,4. Consequently, malnutrition is directly linked to prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and higher mortality rates [2, 5]. Therefore, early and systematic nutrition assessment is no longer optional but a fundamental pillar of perioperative care4.

Abstract

Background: Office workers are prone to sedentary behavior and low physical activity, which can increased oxidative stress. The effect of dietary carbohydrates on oxidative stress can be assessed through changes in Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, typically observed 2-4 hours of postprandially. In Indonesia, white rice remains the dominant carbohydrate source, whereas brown rice is known to contain antioxidants and dietary fiber that help counteract free radicals. Objective: The study aimed to compare the effect of brown rice and white rice consumption on postprandial plasma MDA levels. Methods: A total 28 sedentary workers subjects from FKUI Salemba participated in this open label, randomized, parallel clinical trial using consecutive sampling. Subjects were allocated to consume either 150 g of white rice (IR-64/Setra Ramos variety) or 150 g of brown rice (Aek Sibundong variety). Each meal was given once accompanied by 60 g of omelette, 70 g of tofu stew, and 220 ml of water. The participants were aged 23-48 years, with 80% being female, and all had normal BMI. Results and Conclusion: Significant differences in energy intake (p=0.026) and protein intake (p=0,014) were observed between the groups. Postprandial plasma MDA levels in the brown rice group tended to decrease, though not -significantly. (p=0.0649), whereas the white rice group showed a significant increase (p=0.01). No significant difference was found between the two groups (p=0.065). Nevertheless, brown rice can still be considered a better alternative staple food than white rice, as its antioxidants and higher fiber content can protect the body's cells from diet-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract

Background: Patients undergoing major surgery for gynecologic cancer often experience postoperative complications. Postoperative complications are influenced by various factors, one of which is nutritional status. The preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI), calculated from serum albumin levels and lymphocyte count, is used as a preoperative nutritional parameter and has been associated with postoperative outcomes. Objective: To investigate the association between preoperative PNI and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing major gynecologic oncology surgery. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital in August-December 2024. Subjects were gynecologic cancer patients aged 18-65 years who underwent major surgery. PNI was calculated based on preoperative serum albumin levels and lymphocyte count. Postoperative complications were assessed within 30 days following surgery using the Clavien-Dindo classification. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test, followed by multivariable logistic regression. Results: A total of 56 subjects were included, with a mean age of 47.8 ± 12.3 years and a median PNI of 50.2 (28.9-61.3). Postoperative complications occurred in 35.7% of subjects, with surgical site infections being the most common. The median PNI was lower in the complication group, although the difference was not statistically significant. In multivariable analysis, advanced tumor stage was the only independent predictor of postoperative complications (odd ratio [OR] 4.74, 95% CI 1.26–17.83, p = 0.021). Low PNI showed a nonsignificant trend toward higher odds of complications (OR 1.71, 95% CI 0.47–6.28, p=0.420). Conclusion: PNI was not statistically significant but showed a trend toward association with postoperative complications, suggesting its potential importance of preoperative nutritional status. Advanced tumor stage was an independent predictor of complications. Further multicenter studies are needed to confirm the prognostic role of PNI in gynecologic oncology surgery.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition significantly impacts outcomes in elderly critically ill patients. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) are two established tools to assess nutritional status and predict mortality. However, their comparative prognostic performance in this population remains unclear. Objective: This study aimed to compare the predictive ability of GNRI and PNI for mortality among elderly ICU patients. Methods: We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies assessing GNRI and/or PNI in relation to mortality in ICU patients aged ≥60 years. We extracted mean and standard deviation values for survivors and non-survivors. Meta-analyses were conducted to calculate pooled mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and heterogeneity was evaluated using the I² statistic. Results: Eight studies involving 6,217 ICU patients were included. Both GNRI and PNI scores were significantly lower in non-survivors. The pooled MD for GNRI was −8.99 [95% CI −9.71 to −8.27] (I² = 86%), and for PNI was −4.45 [95% CI −4.94 to −3.96] (I² = 47%). GNRI showed a larger effect size but greater heterogeneity, while PNI results were more consistent. Most studies had low to moderate risk of bias based on the ROBINS-E tool. Conclusion: GNRI and PNI are valid prognostic tools for predicting mortality in elderly ICU patients. GNRI may provide stronger predictive value, whereas PNI offers more consistent prognostic performance.

Abstract

Introduction: Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a complex metabolic syndrome. It affects 0,5-1% of the general population and 60-83% of cancer patients. Vitamin D has a potential immunological role in cancer cachexia. However, the mechanism remains unclear. Method: This review outlines the complex mechanisms of CAC, a metabolic syndrome marked by muscle loss affecting 80% of cancer patients and the potential action of vitamin D. We highlight the limited studies exploring vitamin D’s impact on CAC, based on cachexia parameters. Result: The Warburg effects in CAC are understood to involve elevated energy use, driven by the tumor microenvironment (TME) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. This present review explores the mechanism of cachexia on skeletal, adipose tissue, liver and tumor microenvironment. At the same time vitamin D deficiency in cancer correlates with poor prognosis due to its critical role in immune modulation. Notably, various clinical trials showed the beneficial roles of vitamin D in reducing inflammation, pain and increasing weight. Conclusion: Few studies had explored the beneficial effects of vitamin D in cancer; However, limited evidence exists on immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D. This critical gaps stressing the need for further clinical research across various cancer types.

Abstract

Background: Iron nanoparticle formulation is an innovative approach to enhance the stability and bioavailability of iron, which is crucial in addressing global iron deficiency. However, conventional iron supplementation strategies, like oral ferrous sulfate, face limitations in absorption and bioavailability. Specifically, dietary inhibitors and gastrointestinal conditions can impede iron uptake. Moreover, oral iron supplements often cause side effects such as nausea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort, affecting patient compliance. These challenges highlight the need for innovative approaches to enhance iron delivery. In this context, nanotechnology offers a promising solution to conventional iron supplementation limitations. Iron nanoparticles provide improved solubility, targeted delivery, and controlled release, thereby enhancing therapeutic effectiveness. Both in vitro and in vivo bioavailability studies have demonstrated that nanoparticle-based formulations improve iron absorption and reduce side effects. By improving iron absorption and reducing side effects, nanoparticle-based formulations represent a significant advancement in IDA management. Maltodextrin, a water-soluble and neutral starch-derived polysaccharide, serves as an effective encapsulating agent in nanoparticle formulation, enhancing stability, solubility, and controlled release, thereby overcoming limitations of traditional iron supplementation. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the potential of maltodextrin-based iron nanoparticles to improve bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes. Objective: This scoping review aims to explore the role of maltodextrin in iron nanoparticle formulations based on the latest scientific evidence. Methods : A systematic literature search was conducted across four databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and SpringerLink, using structured keywords. Inclusion criteria consisted of original English language articles published between 2019 and 2024 that discussed the use of maltodextrin in iron nanoparticle systems. Exclusion criteria The selection and data synthesis process followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Results : Out of 8620 articles identified, three met the inclusion criteria: Arazo-Rusindo et al. (2023), Kumari et al. (2023), and Baldelli et al. (2023). These studies demonstrated that maltodextrin acts as a carrier, stabilizer, and bioavailability enhancer, while also improving encapsulation efficiency and nanoparticle stability. Conclusions : These findings highlight the potential of maltodextrin in developing functional food products and pharmaceutical formulations based on iron nanoparticles; however, further research is needed to optimize formulations and evaluate long-term safety.
