Abstract

Background: Glucose intolerance is a hallmark of gestational diabetes mellitus in the early stages of pregnancy.  Maternal and perinatal problems such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, cesarean delivery, macrosomia, and still birth are frequently caused by gestational diabetes mellitus. Another treatment option for preventing gestational diabetes mellitus is exercise, both before and during pregnancy. Physical activity plays a role in regulating glucose homeostasis, indirectly or directly, and impacts insulin sensitivity through several mechanisms. Objectives: This study to assemble strong evidence regarding the relationship between a woman's preconception or prenatal physical activity and her risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods: This research was conducted through a systematic literature review using Google Scholar, EMBASE, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, compiled according to the PRISMA guidelines. The literature search used the PICO framework with inclusion and exclusion criteria and found seven studies that were included. Results: The results showed that physical activity before or in early pregnancy, such as walking, jogging, cycling, aerobics, swimming, yoga, etc., which routinely performed, reduced the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. When doing physical activity, muscles will use glucose to reduce stored glucose. In filling the glucose deficiency, the muscles take blood glucose, causing blood glucose to decrease so that it can control one's blood sugar. The best strategy to reduce the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus is to be physically active both before and throughout pregnancy. Conclusions: Exercise during preconception and the first few months of pregnancy lowers the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Packaged food is a very popular food among teenagers because it is part of teenage socialization. Teenage consumers generally choose food according to taste without paying attention to nutritional content. The ability to understand labels on food products is expected to increase teenagers awareness of being more selective in choosing packaged foods. Increased understanding is achieved through nutrition education in an effort to improve food label reading behavior. Audio-visual learning media was chosen because it is able to activate the senses of sight and hearing, thus helping to increase focus in learning. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of food label literacy nutrition education through audiovisuals on the behavior of high school students of SMA Negeri 4 Kendari in choosing packaged food. Method: This research used a pre-experimental method with one group pretest-posttest, which involved 93 students of classes X and XI in SMA Negeri 4 Kendari. Samples were selected using proportional random sampling. Data analysis in this study was carried out with the McNemar test at the α=0.05 significance level. The event took place at SMA Negeri 4 Kendari using audiovisual media. A validated questionnaire instrument was used to measure food labeling behavior before and after the intervention. Results: Based on the research, it was found that all respondents had sufficient knowledge (100%), good attitudes (100%), and good actions (100%). Thus, there is an effect of food label literacy nutrition education through audiovisual on knowledge (ρ=0.000), attitudes (ρ=0.000), and actions (ρ=0.000) in choosing packaged food at SMA Negeri 4 Kendari students. Conclusion: Thus, food label literacy nutrition education through audio visuals can significantly affect knowledge, attitudes, and actions about food labels in choosing packaged foods.

Abstract

Background: The chronic metabolic condition known as type There is a positive correlation between the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat percentage. Signs of type 2 diabetes mellitus are hyperglycemia caused by insulin resistance or insulin deficiency. Pro-inflammatory adipokines are produced as adiposity increases, which interferes with insulin sensitivity, causing blood glucose to accumulate. As a result, the body has difficulty absorbing blood sugar. When blood sugar continues to rise, diabetes develops. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI), total body fat percentage, and random blood glucose levels in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach, an analytical design, and quantitative methodology. The research was conducted at the Kotaagung Public Health Centre from October to December 2024 with a population of 87 and a research sample of 58 Diabetes Mellitus patients using the method of random sampling. A questionnaire was employed as the research tool, measuring body weight and body fat percentage with a Karada scan tool, measuring height using a microtome, and measuring blood sugar levels with a glucometer. Data analysis used the Pearson test. Results: The respondent characteristics by gender showed 19 men (32.8%) and 39 women (67.2%). The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22.23±3.25 kg/m² for men and 25.36±3.58 kg/m² for women. For total body fat percentage, the mean was 20.93±2.95% for men and 36.65±5.82% for women. The mean Random Blood Glucose (RBG) level was 211.00±67.4 mg/dL for men and 258.05±96.24 mg/dL for women. Conclusion: In type 2 diabetes patients treated at Kotaagung Health Center, there was a correlation between random blood sugar levels with body mass index and body fat percentage, with a p-value=0.000.

Abstract

Background: Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are complications of obesity. Consuming phenolic compounds found in plant-based foods can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Phenolic compounds are phytochemicals with antioxidant properties that play an important role in health. Objectives: This article aims to examine the role of phenolic compounds in obese individuals. Methods: This article uses a literature review method with predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles were searched for in several electronic databases, namely PubMed and Wiley Online Library. Results: Phenolic compounds can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress through several mechanisms. One of these is that fermented flaxseed extract improves neural health and reduces obesity markers in experimental models. Polyphenolic compounds from pigmented rice effectively reduced lipid peroxidation and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The findings highlight the anti-adipogenic, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic regulation properties of phenolic compounds. Conclusion: Phenolic compounds play an important role in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in obesity. Their effectiveness varies depending on the source of the compounds, with promising results from pigmented rice, fermented black beans, and fermented flaxseed. However, most results are from in vitro or animal studies, so further clinical trials are needed to validate these benefits in humans.

Abstract

Background: Puskesmas (Primary Health Care) is the entry point or basic services accessible to all levels of society at the village level. However, the utilization of health services in Indonesia, including Madura, remains low. Objectives: To analyze community perceptions of the quality of health services and their influence on the utilization of health services at Puskesmas Jaddih, Bangkalan Regency, Madura. Methods: This was an explanatory research with a cross-sectional design. The population included all residents in the working area of Puskesmas Jaddih, with an average of 500 patient visits per month. A total of 149 patients who used health services at the Puskesmas Jaddih and met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Spearman test with a significance level of p<0.05. This study was conducted from January to December 2024. Results: Most patients had a primary education. More than half of the patients were not working. The majority rated the competence of health workers as very good. In terms of affordability, effectiveness, continuity, safety, convenience, and information, most rated it as excellent or good. In the SERVQUAL assessment, it was found that almost half of the total patients rated it as excellent (45.3%), just under half of the total patients rated it as good (44.1%), and a small proportion reported it as poor (10.6%). Most patients reported health care utilization in the order category (73.2%). A small proportion reported repeat orders (8.9%) and recommendations (17.9%). The results of statistical analysis showed that competence, affordability, effectiveness, continuity, safety, comfort, and information were related to health care utilization with p<0.05. Overall, in the SERVQUAL assessment, it was found that the results of SERVQUAL analysis with health care utilization showed p<0.05. Conclusion: The quality of health services at Puskesmas Jaddih is perceived by the community, effectiveness, and convenience. However, service utilization remains limited to initial use, with low levels of repeat visits and recommendations. All quality dimensions showed a significant relationship with healthcare utilization, indicating that community perceptions of service quality strongly influence decisions to use, re-use, and recommend health services.

Abstract

Background: Junior High School (JHS) students are teenagers who are vulnerable to having health problems with the occurrence of problems in their nutritional status. One of the causes of abnormal nutritional status is through eating patterns such as excessive consumption of food with additional food ingredients such as sugar, salt, and fat (oil). Recommendations for consuming these additional ingredients have been written in Ministerial Regulation of the Ministry of Health No. 30 of 2013. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between knowledge and attitudes with practices about sugar, salt, and fat consumption of students at State Junior High School 17 Surabaya. Methods: This study is included in quantitative research with a cross-sectional research design. The sample used was 82 students. Data collection included anthropometric measurements and filling out questionnaires regarding sugar, salt, and fat. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The results showed that there was an association between knowledge and practices regarding sugar, salt, and fat consumption (p=0.000) as well as attitudes and practices regarding sugar, salt, and fat consumption (p=0.000). Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that knowledge and attitudes are related to practices regarding sugar, salt, and fat consumption, and practices about sugar, salt, and fat consumption have a relationship with the nutritional status of students. Suggestions that can be given are that schools can evaluate school canteens related to food and drinks with high sugar, salt, and fat content to reduce the chances of students having poor consumption behavior, and students are expected to always increase their insight and be careful in consuming food and drinks that contain additional food ingredients.

Abstract

Background:  Pregnancy-related anemia is an important women’s health issue with worldwide implications due to its impact on the mother and baby. Nutritional education can increase hemoglobin (Hb) levels through improving women’s knowledge and encouraging more frequent consumption of iron-rich foods and taking folic acid. Despite this, the results that have been produced in previous research are inconsistent. In this regard, the aim of the present systematic review with meta-analysis is to establish whether nutritional counseling is among the best intervention approaches to boost Hb levels and prevent anemia. Objective: To study the effect of nutrition education on hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. Methods: The present systematic review  and meta-analysis adhere to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A literature review was conducted using the main databases from January 2019 to April 2025. Seven relevant studies were comprised of RCTs and quasi-experimental designs. A statistical analysis using MD of hemoglobin level in the intervention group compared to the control, along with 95% CI was also calculated. The data was analyzed with the aid of a random effect model. Heterogeneity was tested with the aid of the ‘I² statistics and Cochran’s Q test. Sensitivity analysis was also conducted to check the robustness of the pooled data after harassing the study by eliminating each one individually. Results: The meta-analysis included seven studies, including a total of 1,120 pregnant participants. Combined data indicated that the subjects in the nutrition education group had a greater increase in the level of their hemoglobin compared to those in the control group, with a mean difference of 0.73 g/dL (95% CI=0.62–0.84; p<0.00001). There was marked heterogeneity (I²=94%). Additional research demonstrated the efficacy of an integrated approach in this case, counselling bolstered by digital and visual tools over other methods employing only lectures (MD=0.85 g/dL; 95% CI=0.71–0.99). In this case, lectures yielded weaker results (MD=0.52 g/dL; 95% CI=0.41–0.64). Sensitivity analysis verified that the aggregated data were consistent enough that no single study had a disproportionate impact on the overall findings. Conclusion: Nutrition education, with systematic nutrition sessions and practice, has been found to be more effective in improving hemoglobin levels in pregnancy as compared to disorganized education. In light of the continued burden of anemia in pregnancy, the inclusion of systematic and comprehensive nutrition education into antenatal care programs holds the main key to reducing this problem.

Abstract

Background: Toddler diarrhea is a major Indonesian health concern. Toddler diarrhea rates differ in the 2021 SSGI data. West Sulawesi, NTB, and Maluku have the most diarrhea. This study investigates the causes of Indonesian toddler diarrhea. Objectives: This research is intended to systematically analyze host-related determinants that contribute to the occurrence of diarrhea in Indonesian toddlers from 2021 to 2025. Methods: PRISMA 2020 guided systematic reviews. Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed provided data. Eight 2021–2025 studies examined Indonesian toddler diarrhea risk variables. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and internal validation questions rated quality. Results: From the screening process, eight studies were determined to satisfy the inclusion criteria.  The synthesis of these studies showed that several host characteristics, including toddler’s age, practice of exclusive breastfeeding, and immunization completeness, show a meaningful association with diarrhea prevalence among young children in Indonesia. Conclusion: Age, exclusive breastfeeding, and immunization status significantly affected Indonesian toddler diarrhea incidence, although nutritional condition and gender did not.

Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a prevalent digestive disorder among university students. The factors included impaired lifestyle habits, including inadequate sleep, elevated stress, and unhealthy eating patterns. Objective: To examine the correlation between sleep quality, stress levels, and eating patterns with the incidence of GERD among university students in Yogyakarta. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2025 in PGRI Yogyakarta University, involving 410 university students. We used validated questionnaires for data collection, including the GERD-Q, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21), and an eating pattern questionnaire. We used chi-square tests and correlation tests with a 5% level of significance for the statistical analysis. Results: About 20% of respondents were identified as having GERD symptoms. Students with poor sleep quality were 2.94 times to develop GERD (p=0.001). There was a strong association between stress levels and GERD (p<0.001; r=0.382). Students who have disordered eating were 3.2 times more likely to get GERD (p=0.000). Conclusion: The prevalence of GERD among university students is significantly associated with poor sleep quality, increased stress levels, and disordered eating patterns. Health education aimed at promoting lifestyle changes plays a crucial role in preventing GERD among university students.

Abstract

Background: The double burden of malnutrition, including rising obesity rates, has become a global health challenge, including in Indonesia. In 2024, 23.4% of Indonesian adults were classified as obese, exceeding the national target of 21.8%. Papuan students pursuing higher education in Surabaya City face a similar situation, which is closely linked to unbalanced dietary habits and inadequate nutritional intake. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship between balanced nutrition, nutrient intake, and nutritional status among Papuan college students in Surabaya City. Methods: This quantitative observational study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 97 Papuan students enrolled in universities in Surabaya City were selected using probability sampling. Data collected included respondent characteristics, height, weight, dietary patterns, and nutrient intake. Dietary patterns were assessed using a 5-point scoring system based on Isi Piringku compliance. Data were gathered through questionnaires and 24-hour dietary recalls. Chi-square and Spearman’s rho tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The findings showed that most respondents were 19 years old (24.7%), female (56.7%), and had a monthly allowance greater than IDR 1,000,000 (66%). More than half of the respondents had imbalanced dietary patterns, excessive nutrient intake, and were categorized as obese. There were significant relationships between dietary patterns (p=0.001; r=0.017), nutrient intake (p=0.001; r=0.869), and nutritional status among Papuan university students. Conclusion: This study concludes that balanced dietary patterns and adequate nutrient intake are associated with nutritional status. The more inappropriate the dietary intake, the higher the risk of abnormal nutritional status. Efforts to increase nutrition knowledge among Papuan students are necessary to promote healthy and balanced eating behaviors.
