Abstract

Background: According to Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) 2018, obesity prevalence in Jakarta is higher among women. In adolescent girls, obesity can persist into adulthood, causing reproductive issues. The factors contributing to obesity include energy and fat intake, body image perception, and physical activity. Objectives: This study analyzes the relationship between energy intake, fat intake, physical activity, and body image with obesity. Methods: This study is quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at SMAN 98 Jakarta and SMAN 105 Jakarta, involving 108 female students aged 15-18 years from April to May 2024. Data were collected using stratified random sampling and analyzed using Spearman Rank for non-normally distributed variables and Pearson for normally distributed variables. Obesity variables were measured using BMI for age (BMI/A) and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis; energy and fat intake were assessed using a 24-hour food recall instrument; body image was measured using the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire Appearance Scales. Results: The correlation between energy and fat intake with obesity showed coefficients of r=0.035 (p=0.722) and r=0.074 (p=0.448) for body fat percentage, and r=-0.016 (p=0.869) and r=-0.034 (p=0.726) for BAZ. Physical activity correlated with obesity at r=0.197 (p=0.041) for body fat percentage and r=0.156 (p=0.107) for BAZ. Body image correlated with obesity at r=0.291 (p=0.002) for body fat percentage and r=0.309 (p=0.001) for BAZ. Conclusion: The variables significantly associated with the occurrence of obesity are physical activity (when measured using body fat percentage) and body image. Meanwhile, the variables not associated with the occurrence of obesity are physical activity when measured by Body Mass Index for age (BMI for age), energy intake, and fat intake.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of an infant's life and appropriate complementary feeding are essential for child growth and development. However, the low knowledge and attitudes of mothers and caregivers on Gili Iyang Island pose a challenge in achieving optimal infant feeding practices. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of emo-demo in improving knowledge and attitudes regarding exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding in Gili Iyang Island. Methods: This pilot study used a pre-test-post-test design with two post-intervention measurements. Respondents consisted of 20 pregnant women and 16 caregivers. The sample was taken by total sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The analysis showed a significant increase in the knowledge score of pregnant women after (p=0.008) and 30 days after the emo-demo activity (p=0.008). However, there was no significant change in maternal attitude (p=0.417). In the caregiver, there was a significant increase in knowledge after (p=0.003) and 30 days after the activity (p=0.003) and in the attitude of the caregivers 30 days after the activity (p=0.013). Conclusion: Emo-demo is effective in improving the knowledge of pregnant women and their caregivers regarding exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding. However, the effect on participants' attitudes requires additional approaches for more optimal results.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has a higher potential to experience an increase in stunting cases, because around 31% of children under the age of five experience stunting. The prevalence can be influenced by direct and indirect factors, from pregnancy to early childhood growth. The increasing number of stunting cases affects the quality of human resources, resulting in various significant impacts, such as declining public health, economic stagnation, poverty, and social inequality. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the correlation between maternal nutrition, toddler feeding patterns, and household economic status with stunted cases in Kelurahan (Urban Village of) Arjowinangun and Kelurahan Mergosono, Malang City. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach, utilizing a retrospective cross-sectional design with correlation analysis methods. As many as 60 respondents (mothers and stunted toddlers) participated in the study. Statistical analysis includes Spearman’s Rank test for bivariate analysis with a 95% significance level (p=0.05) and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: Bivariate analysis revealed significant positive correlations between maternal nutrition (p=0.000), toddler feeding patterns (p=0.000), and household economic status (p=0.000) with stunted cases. Among these variables, household economic status demonstrated the strongest correlation, with a correlation coefficient of 0.617. Multivariate analysis showed that the household economic status variable had a greater chance of correlating with stunted cases by 30.989 times. Conclusion: All three independent variables were significantly correlated with stunted, with household economic status being the strongest determinant.

Abstract

Background: In 2021, Indonesia recorded 19.5 million cases of diabetes mellitus. Women exhibit a 1.02 fold higher risk of developing diabetes mellitus when accounting for physical factors. Dietary management using the special concept (schedule, amount, and type) is an appropriate choice for diabetes mellitus patients to control blood glucose levels. Aron rice, a processed white corn variety typical of the Tengger tribe, is high in fiber and may help control blood glucose levels. Objectives: This objective of this research is to examine the effect of Tengger tribe's special Aron rice on 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose levels in healthy adult women. Methods: This experimental method involved interventions with control food (pure sugar) and test food (Aron rice). The research design used a pre-test post-test one-group design. The sample consisted of 16 participants selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. The study was carried out from July to September 2024. The instruments in this study utilized the observation method of 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose measurements following the administration of control and test foods. The data were analyzed using a paired t-test to examine the effect of Aron rice on changes in 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose levels. Results: The study findings indicate an average blood glucose level before the control food was 87.75 mg/dL, while before the test food, it was 85.88 mg/dL, with a p-value of 0.107>0.05, indicating no significant difference in fasting blood glucose levels at minute 0. After the control food, the average blood glucose level was 115.63 mg/dL, while after the test food, it was 90.00 mg/dL. There was a mean difference of 25.63 mg/dL with a p-value of 0.000<0.05, indicating a significant difference in fasting blood glucose levels in 2 hours. Conclusion: Tengger tribe's special Aron rice affects changes on 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose levels in healthy adult women, resulting in lower levels compared to pure sugar. Aron rice can be an alternative staple food for diabetes mellitus patients as an effort to improve blood glucose control in the body.

Abstract

Background: High blood pressure or hypertension is a non-communicable disease, but it is one of the leading causes of death in the world. In 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that 46% adults   suffer from hypertension and most are unaware of it. One of the treatments for hypertension is to use non-pharmacological, namely apigenin-type flavonoids. Apigenin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptosis activity so it has the potential to lower blood pressure with a decrease in oxidative stress. Objective: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of apigenin on blood pressure reduction based on existing literature. Methods: Secondary data were obtained from searching scientific articles through the PubMed and Science Direct databases within the last five years (2020-2024). After screening, four scientific articles met the criteria and could be used to continue this research. Result: The results of the literature review reported that apigenin is a type of flavonoids that lower blood pressure by preventing blood vessels from narrowing by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Apigenin is known to have a Pthalide element that can relax blood vessels, allowing blood output from the heart to be smooth and slowly blood pressure will return to normal. Apigenin is also known to help prevent kidney damage caused by low-fat diets. Studies also show that apigenin can increase nitrate oxidation, reduce oxidative stress, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Conclusion: This review concluded that apigenin can be a non-pharmacological drug in lowering blood pressure by decreasing oxidative stress. In addition, apigenin can be antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial. However, the right dose to lower blood pressure still needs further research.

Abstract

Background: The nutritional condition of adolescents is a crucial element of their general health and development, shaped by several factors, including physical activity and sleep quality. Nutritional challenges in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) encompass both under-nutrition and over-nutrition among adolescents. According to Riskesdas data from 2018, the prevalence of malnutrition among adolescents in NTT was 25.7% for those aged 13-15 years and 26.9% for those aged 16-18 years, while the obesity rate was 16% for adolescents aged 13-15 years. This issue is further intensified by insufficient physical exercise and poor sleep. Despite the existence of several interventions targeting dietary behaviors, the correlation between these elements and nutritional health remains underexplored, particularly in NTT. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the correlation between physical activity, sleep quality, and nutritional status in teenagers aged 15 to 18 years at SMK Negeri 3 Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. This study sought to determine the primary determinants factors affecting the nutritional status of teenagers, particularly in regions experiencing intricate dietary challenges such as NTT. Methods: This research used a cross-sectional study design, conducted in April 2024 at SMK Negeri 3 Kupang. A total of 221 students were selected using the probability sampling technique. Physical activity was categorized into mild, moderate, and vigorous activities, assessed by the Physical Activity Level (PAL) questionnaire. Sleep quality was assessed via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while nutritional status was determined by body mass index (BMI). The correlation test was carried out using Goodman and Kruskal gamma and strengthened by the Chi-square test to compare the distribution of nutritional status in various categories of physical activity and sleep quality. Results: This study showed no significant correlation between physical activity, sleep quality, and nutritional status, with a p-value greater than 0.05. Despite variations in exercise levels and sleep quality among groups with differing nutritional statuses, the correlation between these characteristics and nutritional status was not statistically significant.  Conclusion: Physical activity and sleep quality alone are sufficient to determine adolescent nutritional health. A more holistic approach that incorporates additional aspects such as nutrition, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics, is required. Effective therapies should focus on enhancing dietary behaviors, augmenting physical activity, managing stress, and fostering improved sleep patterns to elevate adolescent nutritional status.

Abstract

Background: The current dating style of teenagers is quite worrying because it has exceeded normal limits, such as premarital sexual behavior which has impacts such as unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and even sexual violence. Lack of knowledge about the impact of premarital sex is one of the causes of sexual behavior. Reproductive Health Education as one of the efforts to provide knowledge about the impact of premarital sexual behavior on teenagers. Objectives: To determine the relationship between knowledge of the impact of premarital sexual relations and dating style among students at SMA GIKI 2 Surabaya. Methods: Analytical observation study with cross-sectional research design. The research sample was 60 students from 150 populations. The independent variable in this research is knowledge of the impact of premarital sex and the dependent variable in this research is the dating style of students at GIKI 2 High School Surabaya. The research was conducted in May 2022 using a questionnaire research instrument. The analysis used in this research was the Spearman rank correlation test analysis. Results: Gender with knowledge about the impact of premarital sex has a relationship with a p-value =0.031 (<0.05) with a relationship strength of 0.279. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between knowledge about the impact of premarital sex and students' dating styles because p-value=0.000 (<0.05) with a relationship strength of -0.464. Conclusions: There is a relationship between knowledge about the impact of premarital sexual relations and dating styles among students at SMA GIKI 2 Surabaya. Students who have higher knowledge do not have a risky dating style, while students who have low knowledge will have a risky dating style.Teenagers who have low knowledge should be given premarital sexual education so that they can avoid premarital sexual behavior.
