Abstract

Children under two years old are a critical period in child development, characterized by rapid growth and development. One nutritional issue, stunting, can arise from inappropriate feeding practices and leads to impaired brain development, intelligence, physical growth, and metabolic function. To address this, we implemented Emotional Demonstration education on baby and child feeding schedules for young mothers. This study aimed to analyze the impact of Emotional Demonstration education on mothers’ knowledge and attitudes regarding toddler feeding practices at Dahlia Posyandu, Pabuaran Village, Bogor Regency. A Pre-Experimental One Group Pre-Test Post-Test design was employed involving 32 young women from the Bojonggede Community Health Center. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test questionnaires, analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results indicate a significant improvement in mothers’ knowledge following Emotional Demonstration education. However, no significant change was observed in their attitudes. In conclusion, Emotional Demonstration education effectively enhances maternal knowledge about baby and child feeding schedules but does not influence their attitudes

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of substituting red bean flour and red spinach flour on the organoleptic properties and nutritional value of fried meatballs (Basreng). Three treatments were tested: P1 (5% red bean flour and 5% red spinach flour), P2 (10% red bean flour and 10% red spinach flour), and P3 (15% red bean flour and 15% red spinach flour). Fifty third-semester nutrition students evaluated taste, texture, aroma, and color using a 5-point hedonic scale. Statistical analysis included normality tests, ANOVA for normally distributed data, and Kruskal-Wallis tests for non-normally distributed data, followed by Duncan or Mann-Whitney tests for significant differences. Results indicated that P1 was most favored in all sensory aspects. Increasing concentrations of red bean and red spinach flours resulted in a stronger taste and aroma of these ingredients, which overshadowed the chicken flavor. P3, though less preferred organoleptically, provided the highest nutritional value with 0.06 mg of iron per slice. This study highlights the balance between sensory acceptance and nutritional enhancement using local ingredients. While P1 is optimal for consumer preference, P3 offers significant nutritional benefits. The findings suggest that red bean and red spinach flours have potential in improving the health benefits of traditional snacks like Basreng

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of biscuits made from haruan fish flour and yellow pumpkin on the nutritional status of toddlers in the working area of Puskesmas Mangkupalas. A quasi-experimental pre-post test with control group design was employed, with a single-blind approach. The study was conducted from September to November 2021. A total of 22 toddlers were selected using purposive sampling. Respondents were divided into two groups: the intervention group, which received biscuits made from haruan fish and yellow pumpkin flour, and the control group, which received government-provided biscuits. Data on energy and protein intake were collected using a Food Recall, and nutritional status was assessed based on Weight-for-Age index using anthropometric measurements. In the control group, the average Z-score before the intervention was -1.4345 (normal nutritional status), which increased to -1.3536 post-intervention (still normal). The intervention group had an average Z-score of -2.0009 before the intervention, which decreased to -2.1691 (indicating moderate malnutrition). The control group's average energy intake was 956.864 kcal before the intervention and 792.564 kcal during the intervention. In the intervention group, energy intake was 1010.891 kcal before and 793.109 kcal during the intervention. Protein intake in the control group was 34.436 g before the intervention and decreased to 31.691 g during the intervention. The intervention group saw an increase from 38.164 g to 58.75 g. The intervention with biscuits made from haruan fish flour and yellow pumpkin flour did not significantly affect the nutritional status or energy and protein intake of the toddlers.

Abstract

Research on coconut flour and desiccated coconut substitution cookies has been conducted by several researchers, but variations of desiccated coconut crispy cookies have not been widely developed. The nutritional content of desiccated coconut can be used as a source of fiber when substituted in crispy cookies products. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of desiccated coconut substitution in making crispy cookies on physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics, and obtain the best desiccated coconut substitution. This study used a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) with one factor, namely the ratio of the percentage of desiccated coconut and wheat flour with 6 treatment levels (0:100), (25:75), (50:50), (75:25), (85:15), and (100:0) with 3 repeats. The data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA test (α=5%). If the effect is significant (Sig < 0.05), then proceed with the Honest Real Difference Test (BNJ) with a test level of 5%. Analysis of sensory characteristics data using the Kruskal Wallis test. The best treatment is tested using an effectiveness index test. This study obtained the best sensory and physicochemical characteristics of desiccated coconut crispy cookies in treatment (25%: 75%). The physicochemical characteristics produced are crude fiber content of 2.73%, fat content of 30.43%, ash content of 1.52%, water content of 16.86%, carbohydrate content of 51.11%, and protein content of 0.08%. The resulting sensory characteristics are taste 4.36 (prefer), aroma 4.13 (prefer), color 3.97 (like), and texture 4.26 (prefer).

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of impaired growth in toddlers due to prolonged nutritional deficiencies. This issue is a significant global nutritional problem, particularly in poor and developing countries, including Indonesia. This study aims to examine the relationship between macronutrient intake, food security at the household level, and nutrition-related knowledge on the incidence of stunting among toddlers in the working area of Cimarga Health Center. This study employed a cross-sectional design. The sample size consisted of 99 toddlers from 11 villages within the Cimarga Health Center's jurisdiction. Analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test. The findings reveal a stunting prevalence of 34.3% among toddlers. There is a significant relationship between household food security (p=0.014) and the incidence of stunting (OR=1.630; 95% CI=1.381-1.923). However, no significant relationships were found between energy intake (p=0.140), carbohydrate intake (p=0.544), protein intake (p=0.607), fat intake (p=0.439), and maternal nutrition knowledge (p=0.411) with the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Cimarga Health Center area. This study underscores the importance of enhancing household food security as a primary strategy to reduce stunting despite the lack of significant relationships between macro-nutrient intake and maternal nutrition knowledge

Abstract

The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia is 31.0%, which means that many Indonesians have obesity problems, including teenagers. Palu City is ranked tenth out of 33 provinces, with a percentage of 32.9%. Fast food consumption, sedentary lifestyle, and physical activity affect Body Mass Index (BMI). This study aims to determine the relationship between fast food consumption, sedentary lifestyle, and physical activity and the Body Mass Index (BMI) of grade X and XI students of MA Alkhairaat Pusat Palu. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The study population was 246, and a sample of 159 respondents was used using a proportional random sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using FFQ, ASAQ, and physical activity questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test. The univariate analysis results of respondents with abnormal BMI were 64 people (40.3%), and those with normal BMI were 95 people (59.7%). Based on bivariate analysis, the results of variables that have a relationship with Body Mass Index (BMI) are fast food consumption (p = 0.000). In contrast, variables that have no relationship with Body Mass Index are sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.917), and physical activity (p = 0.256). It is expected that adolescents can adopt a healthy lifestyle under the principles of balanced nutrition.

Abstract

Irritant Contact Dermatitis is an immunological local inflammatory response of the skin characterized by redness and swelling after exposure to irritants such as solvents, detergents, and sawdust. This study aims to determine the relationship between age, gender, length of contact, personal hygiene, and nutritional status with symptoms of irritant contact dermatitis in seaweed farmers, using quantitative methods and cross-sectional study design on 139 respondents who work as seaweed farmers in Seppong Village, North Belopa District, which were selected using random sampling techniques using questionnaires and then analyzed using chi-square. The findings revealed significant associations between symptoms of irritant contact dermatitis and the following variables: age (p-value = 0.005), gender (p-value = 0.003), duration of contact (p-value = 0.006), length of service (p-value = 0.003), and personal hygiene (p-value = 0.002). In contrast, nutritional status was found to be unrelated (p-value = 0.147). The conclusion of this research is that age, gender, length of contact, length of service, and personal hygiene have a strong influence on irritant contact dermatitis, so it is recommended that seaweed farmers pay attention to personal health by maintaining personal hygiene and also avoiding direct contact with irritants by using complete and standard PPE

Abstract

Rainwater is a vital water source in island regions, including North Bulagi District, Banggai Kepulauan Regency, Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of harvested rainwater and assess associated health risks from microbiological and chemical contaminants. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving the collection of eight rainwater samples from household reservoirs using purposive sampling and data from 94 respondents to support an exposure assessment. The parameters analyzed included Total Coliform, Escherichia coli, Nitrate (NO₃⁻), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), and Fluoride (F). Water quality analysis was conducted following APHA standard procedures. Health risk assessments were conducted using the Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) framework for chemical exposure and Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) for microbial hazards. Results showed that microbiological contamination, particularly Total Coliform, exceeded the acceptable limit at all sampling points, with the highest level recorded at Point VIII (2,600 CFU/100 mL). Most chemical parameters were within permissible levels; however, Nitrate concentrations at several locations approached the WHO guideline limit, notably at Point II (11.8 mg/L). Health risk assessment indicated a higher potential for non-carcinogenic effects among children due to Fluoride exposure (HQ > 1). Carcinogenic risks from Cadmium and Lead were within acceptable tolerable limits (ILCR < 1.0E-04). These findings underscore the importance of regularly monitoring rainwater quality and implementing mitigation strategies such as first-flush systems, filtration, and disinfection. The integrated methodological approach adopted in this study provides a robust evidence base for the formulation of effective environmental health interventions and policies, particularly in remote and island communities.
