Journal of Nutrition and Health Care
The scope of research in nutrition and health is the range or limitation of topics that can be researched in the field of nutrition and health. The scope of research in nutrition and health can vary depending on the purpose, method, and approach of the research. However, in general, the scope of research in nutrition and health can include: 1. Clinical nutrition aspects, which are nutrition aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to nutrition, such as diabetes, obesity, anemia, etc. 2. Public health nutrition aspects, which are nutrition aspects related to the nutritional status of a population or a specific group, such as children under five, pregnant women, elderly, etc. This aspect also includes factors that affect nutritional status, such as dietary patterns, food access, nutrition education, etc. 3. Sports nutrition aspects, which are nutrition aspects related to the physical performance and health of athletes or people who exercise. This aspect covers nutritional needs, dietary supplements, hydration, recovery, etc. 4. Molecular nutrition aspects, which are nutrition aspects related to the molecular and cellular mechanisms of nutrients in the body. This aspect includes nutrient-genetic interactions, nutrient-metabolism interactions, nutrient-immunology interactions, etc. 5. Biochemical nutrition aspects, which are nutrition aspects related to the chemical structure and biological function of nutrients in the body. This aspect covers nutrient metabolism, nutrient enzymes, nutrient biomarkers, etc. 6. Functional food aspects, which are nutrition aspects related to food that has additional benefits besides its nutritional value. Functional food can be natural or processed food that contains bioactive components that can modify body functions and provide health effects.

<![CDATA[Indonesia has abundant fishery resources, but the level of fish consumption among school children is still low. This study aims to review the literature related to the utilization of marine fish consumption, especially tuna, in improving the health and learning achievement of students from elementary school to high school/vocational school/Islamic high school. Marine fish, especially tuna, are rich in protein, omega-3, DHA, and EPA which play an important role in brain development and endurance. Studies show that regular fish consumption can improve memory, focus on learning, and prevent stunting in children. However, low education, access to quality fish, and children's preference for fast food are the main challenges. Various government programs such as the Gerakan Memasyarakatkan Makan Ikan (GEMARIKAN) have been implemented to increase fish consumption among students. This study proposes innovative strategies such as diversification of fish processing in a form that is more attractive to children and more intensive education about the benefits of fish consumption for health. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for agency/institution policies in increasing fish consumption in educational environments in order to create a healthier and smarter generation.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigated the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on psychological stress and immune function in healthy adults. In a randomized controlled trial, 68 participants were assigned to either an 8-week MBSR program or an active control condition consisting of health education. Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Outcome measures included psychological questionnaires (Perceived Stress Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire) and immunological parameters (pro-inflammatory cytokines: IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β; anti-inflammatory cytokine: IL-10; C-reactive protein; natural killer cell activity; T-cell proliferation). Diurnal cortisol patterns were also assessed. Results demonstrated that MBSR participants, compared to controls, showed significant reductions in perceived stress, anxiety, and depression, along with increases in mindfulness facets (all p < 0.001). MBSR also led to significant decreases in pro-inflammatory markers IL-6 (p = 0.002) and TNF-α (p = 0.005), increases in anti-inflammatory IL-10 (p = 0.004), enhanced natural killer cell activity (p = 0.003), and normalized diurnal cortisol patterns (p = 0.002). Many of these effects persisted at the 3-month follow-up. Correlation analyses revealed significant associations between changes in psychological measures, particularly the non-reactivity facet of mindfulness, and changes in immune parameters. These findings suggest that mindfulness meditation may reduce psychological stress and simultaneously modulate immune function through psychoneuroimmunological pathways, potentially offering a complementary approach to stress-related immune disorders and preventive healthcare strategies. Future research should extend these findings to clinical populations and investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these effects.]]>

<![CDATA[Sleep disturbances have become an increasingly common public health issue in modern society, with potentially significant metabolic consequences. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and duration with key metabolic health markers. In this cross-sectional observational study, data from 1,250 adult participants (aged 25-65 years) were collected using a combination of polysomnography, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires, and anthropometric and biochemical measurements. Parameters assessed included fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles, insulin sensitivity, inflammatory markers, and indicators of body composition. Results revealed significant inverse correlations between sleep duration and fasting blood glucose levels (p<0.001), insulin resistance (p<0.001), and inflammatory markers including CRP (p<0.01). Additionally, poor sleep quality was independently associated with unfavorable lipid profiles, including elevated triglycerides (p<0.01) and reduced HDL (p<0.05), after adjusting for potential confounding factors such as age, gender, and body mass index. Subgroup analyses revealed that sleep effects on metabolic parameters were more pronounced in individuals with higher body mass indices and those with pre-existing metabolic syndrome. These findings affirm the importance of adequate sleep patterns in maintaining metabolic homeostasis and suggest that interventions targeting sleep improvement may have therapeutic applications in the management of metabolic disorders.]]>

<![CDATA[Chronic diseases represent a significant global health burden, necessitating innovative approaches to enhance management and improve outcomes. Digital health interventions have emerged as promising tools to address the complex challenges of chronic disease management. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on the effectiveness, implementation factors, and economic implications of digital health interventions across multiple chronic conditions. Implementation success was associated with user-centered design, simple interfaces, and healthcare provider involvement, while technical difficulties and limited digital literacy emerged as significant barriers. Economic analyses, available for 18 studies, indicated cost-effectiveness for interventions targeting respiratory conditions and diabetes. Digital health interventions offer effective approaches to enhance chronic disease management, with benefits spanning clinical outcomes, patient experience, and potentially healthcare resource utilization. Future research should prioritize longer-term evaluations, standardized outcome reporting, and studies in diverse populations to ensure equitable access and benefit. Successful implementation requires attention to design, integration with healthcare systems, and accessibility across diverse patient populations.]]>
