Abstract

The 2023 SKI data shows that conventional complementary feeding is still inappropriate for the 6-11 month age group. Foods high in sugar still make up a large part of commercial complementary foods. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of cold-processed vegan instant complementary foods made from local ingredients, including various types of tomatoes, mushrooms, and seaweed, on infants aged 9-11 months. The study utilized experimental methods with physical test parameters such as water solubility, water absorption, viscosity, and color, as well as proximate tests such as fat content, protein content, water content, ash content, carbohydrate content, and total calories. The research was conducted with one sampling and three tests. The addition of tomatoes, mushrooms, and nori had a significant effect (p<0.050) on protein content (p=0.027), carbohydrate content (p=0.001), total calories (p=0.000), absorbency (p=0.030), viscosity (p=0.000), and color a* (p=0.003) and color b* (p=0.050). The addition of tomato, mushroom, and nori did not have a significant effect (p>0.005) on fat content (p=0.066), ash content (p=0.051), water content (p=0.301), solubility (p=0.107), and L* color (p=0.422). The addition of tomatoes, mushrooms, and seaweed to instant vegan complementary foods has a significant effect on the following parameters: protein content, carbohydrate content, total calories, water absorption, viscosity, and color a* and color b*. The addition of tomatoes, mushrooms, and seaweed to instant vegan complementary foods did not have a significant effect on the following parameters: fat content, ash content, water content, solubility, and L* color.

Abstract

Abstract: According to FAO data, by 2023, around 152 million people experienced food insecurity, and 733 million were undernourished. It is estimated that nearly 600 million people will still face hunger by 2030. This review aims to explore the association between nutrition and food literacy with food security and nutritional status. A scoping review was conducted using literature searches from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The inclusion criteria involved general population groups, with nutrition or food literacy as the exposure and food security or nutritional status as the outcome. A total of 293 studies were identified, and 11 met the inclusion criteria. Four studies demonstrated a direct association between nutrition or food literacy and food security, indicating that poor literacy was associated with higher food insecurity, especially among adolescents and adults. Among the eight studies examining the association with nutritional status, six found no significant association, while two showed a positive association. Results varied depending on the participant characteristics, study design, and measurement instruments. Several factors were identified as predictors of adequate food and nutrition literacy, such as urban residence, higher education level, working participants, number of children, having received nutrition education, and the presence of chronic diseases. Food and nutrition literacy is directly linked to food security and indirectly to nutritional status through improved dietary behaviors. This review supports future research and programs to strengthen food and nutrition literacy to enhance food security and nutritional outcomes.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a major public health concern due to its adverse effects on maternal and fetal outcomes. Nutritional inadequacy and poor adherence to iron–folic acid (IFA) supplementation are key contributors to anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the association between nutritional adequacy levels and IFA tablet consumption with anemia incidence in pregnant women. A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2024 at Pulo Armyn Public Health Center, Bogor City, involving 86 pregnant women in their first and second trimesters selected through purposive random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and 2×24-hour dietary recalls, while hemoglobin levels were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis employed the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed no significant association between macronutrient (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate) and micronutrient (calcium, folate, iron, vitamin C) adequacy levels with anemia incidence (p > 0.05). However, a significant negative correlation was found between adherence to IFA tablet consumption and anemia incidence (p = 0.004; r = –0.311). Pregnant women with good adherence to IFA supplementation exhibited lower anemia prevalence compared to those with poor adherence. These findings underscore the importance of improving adherence to IFA supplementation alongside efforts to enhance dietary quality as part of comprehensive anemia prevention strategies in maternal health programs.

Abstract

Overweight among adolescents is multifactorial, including lack of physical activity and an unbalanced diet. Adolescents tend to follow trends such as consuming junk food without paying attention to nutritional content. This study aims to examine the factors associated with junk food consumption among adolescents in the Jakarta area. This Study is an observational analysis using a cross-sectional research design. A total 130 respondents were obtained using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires related to respondent characteristics (included gender, age, and pocket money), frequency of junk food consumption was tested using the chi-square test. The results of this tudy indicate that the mmajority of respondents 58,3% often frequently junk food consumption and 41,7% rare frequently junk food consumption. There is significant relationship between gender (p<0.005) and pockey money (p<0.05) with frequency of junk food consumption on adolescents.

Abstract

Obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are interrelated conditions that can exacerbate each other, requiring comprehensive and individualized nutritional management. This case report aims to describe the implementation of targeted nutrition therapy in a client with Obesity Grade III and a history of GERD through an approach focused on moderate energy deficit, balanced macronutrient composition, and gradual physical activity improvement. The 14-day intervention included daily monitoring to assess dietary changes, nutritional status, and digestive symptoms. The results demonstrated improved dietary patterns, weight reduction, and enhanced digestive comfort, highlighting the strong relationship between nutritional regulation and GERD symptom control. This case underscores that consistent lifestyle modification, through dietary adjustment and increased physical activity can positively impact nutritional status and quality of life. Such individualized nutrition approaches may serve as practical and evidence-based strategies in managing obesity with comorbid GERD

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to inadequate insulin production or impaired insulin utilization. In Indonesia, the prevalence of DM reaches 11.7% in adults, with a significant burden in Batam, particularly at Puskesmas Sei Langkai. This study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity and nutritional status with blood glucose levels in type 2 DM patients aged 45–69 years. This is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design conducted in October 2025, involving 120 respondents selected purposively. Physical activity was measured using a short IPAQ questionnaire and converted to MET-minutes/week, nutritional status was measured using Body Mass Index (BMI), and random blood glucose levels were measured using a glucometer. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 45–59 years (76.7%), female (70.8%), had a high school education (65.8%), were unemployed (67.5%), and had suffered from DM for 1–5 years (62.5%). Most had moderate physical activity (65.8%) and normal nutritional status (77.5%), but 53.3% had uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Analysis showed a significant negative relationship between physical activity and blood glucose levels (r = -0.305, p = 0.001), while nutritional status showed no significant relationship (r = 0.159, p = 0.083). These findings confirm that physical activity plays an important role in blood glucose control, while nutritional status alone is not the main determining factor. DM management should include regular physical activity, a balanced diet, adherence to therapy, and routine glucose monitoring.

Abstract

Arsenic contamination from artisanal gold mining poses significant public health and nutritional risks. This cross-sectional study assessed arsenic levels in drinking water and urinary biomarkers among 100 residents of Poboya Village, Central Sulawesi. Eight drinking water sources were tested, and all showed arsenic concentrations far above the permissible limit (>10 µg/L), ranging from 40–70 µg/L. Elevated urinary arsenic levels (≥35 µg/L) were found in 75% of participants. Duration of residence was significantly associated with urinary arsenic concentration (p = 0.026), while occupation, nutritional status, and distance from pollutant sources showed no significant associations. These findings indicate widespread arsenic exposure through contaminated drinking water, underscoring the need for improved water safety and integrated public health and nutrition interventions in the community.
