Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage V in pediatric patients requires renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis and is often accompanied by complications including hypertension and cardiovascular disorders, such as suspected rheumatic heart disease (RHD). These conditions increase the risk of fluid overload, pulmonary edema, and nutritional problems, thus requiring comprehensive nutritional management. This study used a descriptive observational case study design conducted at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta. The subject was selected using purposive sampling based on the risk of malnutrition using the STRONG-kids screening form. Data were collected through interviews, medical records, anthropometric measurements, biochemical and clinical assessments, and a 24-hour food recall. Nutritional care was carried out using the standardized Nutrition Care Process, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, education, and monitoring for three days. The subject was a 13-year-old pediatric patient with CKD undergoing hemodialysis, presenting with edema, hypertension, and suspected RHD. Dietary intake was inadequate (<70%). Anthropometric assessment based on Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) indicated normal nutritional status despite the presence of edema. Biochemical examination showed anemia and increased creatinine and urea levels. Nutritional intervention showed an increasing trend in intake over three days, although energy and carbohydrate intake remained deficient. Clinical parameters, including blood pressure and respiratory rate, showed improvement, along with decreased creatinine and urea levels. Nutritional therapy in the form of a hemodialysis diet and low-sodium diet contributed to improved intake, fluid balance, and clinical outcomes. Sodium restriction played an important role in controlling blood pressure and preventing fluid overload, including the risk of pulmonary edema. Integrated nutritional management combined with hemodialysis improved intake, clinical condition, and biochemical parameters in pediatric CKD patients with hypertension and suspected RHD.

Abstract

Abstract : Proper nutritional intake is a key factor in supporting optimal athletic performance during competition . Bananas are a natural source of energy that can help improve endurance due to their carbohydrates content and essential nutrients such as potassium . Potassium plays an important role in carbohydrates metabolism , including the formation and storage of glycogen and glucose as energy sources , thereby helping to maintain muscle function . This study aimed to determine the effect of Ambon banana consumption on improving VO₂ Max. Methods : This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a quantitative approach using a one-goup pretest-posttest design . A total of 37 participants were given an intervention in the form of 150 gams of whole Ambon banana daily for 7 days . Results : The results showed that the mean VO₂ Max value increased from 36,360 before the intervention to 39,570 after the intervention . Statistical analysis indicated a significant effect of Ambon banana consumption on improving VO₂ Max (p < 0.05). Conclusion : The consumption of Ambon bananas has a significant effect on Improving VO₂ Max in Futsal players .

Abstract

Pregnancy is a critical period during which women’s nutrition knowledge and practices can affect the health and nutrition status of both mother and child. This study aimed to assess the nutrition knowledge, practices and factors associated with nutrition practices among pregnant women attending antenatal care at Yangon Worker’s Hospital, in Tamwe Township, Yangon Region, Myanmar. A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to December 2025 using a face-to-face interview method with structured questionnaires. The study included 169 pregnant women of aged 20 to 45 years. The majority of participants (86.4%) were aged 35 years or younger. In terms of educational attainment, the largest proportion (36.1%) had completed middle school education, while the remaining participants had either primary or high school education. A small fraction of participants (1.2%) illiterate. More than half of the participants (53.3%) were in their first pregnancy, and (89.3%) were in the third trimester. The total nutrition knowledge scores were 33 and the median score (IQR) of participants was 10 (4). A total (65.7%) of the participants had good nutrition practices. Nutrition knowledge scores and ethnicity were significantly associated with nutrition practices; (AOR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04–1.37), and (AOR = 3.46, 95% CI: 1.12–10.67). This study highlighted the needs in nutrition education, particularly in awareness about the importance of micronutrients and culturally sensitive counseling to address food taboos for promoting healthy dietary practices and reducing preventable complications during pregnancy.

Abstract

Overnutrition remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with increasing prevalence among young adults. Fast food consumption, characterized by high fat and low nutrient content, has been associated with various behavioral and environmental determinants, including media exposure. This study aimed to analyze the association between fast food–related media exposure and consumption frequency among young adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 158 individuals aged 19–29 years in Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia, using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured electronic questionnaire assessing media exposure and frequency of fast food consumption. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were highly influenced in fast food–related media exposure (68.4%) and reported frequently in fast food consumption frequency (51.9%). However, no significant correlation was found between media exposure and consumption frequency (p = 0.296), with a very weak positive correlation coefficient (r = 0.084). These findings suggest that media exposure alone is not a strong determinant of fast food consumption behavior. Other factors such as individual preferences, social influences, and environmental conditions may play a more substantial role. Future interventions should adopt a multifactorial approach by addressing not only media exposure but also individual, social, and environmental determinants of dietary behavior. Strengthening nutrition education and improving healthy food accessibility are essential to reduce fast food consumption among young adults.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW), defined as a birth weight of less than 2,500 grams, remains a significant public health concern due to its considerable impact on infant mortality and long-term growth dan development outcomes. This study aims to examine the relationship between maternal dietary patterns (non-vegetarian and vegetarian) and other maternal factors on the incidence of LBW in selected areas in Indonesia. Methods: This research uses a cross-sectional design involving 122 respondents, data were collected through structured questionnaires and a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The study was conducted from March to May 2025 using purposive sampling. Results: A LBW prevalence of 5.7% in Indonesia, with prevalence rates of 8.3% among vegetarian mothers and 5.1% among non-vegetarian mothers. Bivariate analysis revealed no statistically significant associations between LBW incidence and dietary type (p = 0.623), frequency of staple food consumption (p = 0.272), frequency of animal protein consumption (p = 0.751), frequency of plant protein consumption (p = 0.113), pre-pregnancy nutritional status (p = 0.941), gestational weight gain (p = 0.707), interpregnancy interval (p = 1), parity (p = 0.709), ANC visit frequency (p = 1), maternal education level (p = 0.650), and supplement consumption (p = 0.555). Conclusions: There is no significant relationship between all independent variables with the incidence of low birth weight
