Abstract

Background: Nutritional issues in school-age children remain a concern due to their impact on health, learning ability, and the quality of human resources. Food intake is a direct factor in determining nutritional status, but the relationship is not always linear. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between food consumption and nutritional status in school-age children. Methods: The study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were 32 school-age children aged 11–12 years at Modangan 5 State Elementary School Blitar, East Java. Food intake data, including energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates, were obtained through a 24-hour food recall interview. Nutritional status data were determined based on anthropometric measurements of weight and height, which were then converted into a Z-score for body mass index for age (BMI/A). Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically using the Pearson correlation test. Results: The results showed that energy and macronutrient intake were not significantly related to the nutritional status of school-age children (p > 0.05). All correlation coefficients were in the very weak category. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the nutritional status of school-age children is influenced by various factors beyond daily food consumption.

Abstract

Background Previous studies have shown that Averrhoa bilimbi leaves can help lower blood pressure. These leaves also act as diuretics and antioxidants. Combining Averrhoa bilimbi leaves and turmeric is expected to create a herbal beverage healthy drink. This study aimed to analyze the organoleptic and acceptability tests of a functional herbal drink made with Averrhoa bilimbi leaves and turmeric that could benefit health. Methods: The research employed an experimental quantitative design with a factorial design (one factor). A total of 30 respondents participated by completing a questionnaire. Sampling was done using a convenience sampling method. Results: There were significant differences in color, aroma, and taste (p < 0.05), but not in texture (p = 0.104). The formulation without Averrhoa bilimbi leaves (P0) was the most preferred overall compared to P1 and P2. Conclusions: The addition of turmeric significantly affected the color, aroma, and taste, but not the texture. The formulation without turmeric (P0) was the most preferred by the panelists.

Abstract

Background: Unilateral facial muscle dysfunction in peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) involves network vessel vacuity and wind pathogen invasion. While traditional acupuncture uses fixed points, it lacks dynamic adaptation, which can be optimized through force-sensitive acupuncture (FSA) targeted at mechanically sensitized points. This study evaluates the clinical efficacy and safety of FSA compared to traditional acupuncture for PFP. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted from January 2025 to January 2026 on 60 PFP participants randomly assigned to either the FSA group (n=30), treated at palpated mechanically sensitized points, or the control group (n=30), treated at fixed points. Treatments were administered once daily for 14 days. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, day 7, and day 14 using the Sunnybrook Facial Nerve Function Score and House-Brackmann (H-B) Grading System. Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups (p > 0.05). No statistical differences emerged at week 1 (p > 0.05). However, after 14 days of cumulative treatment, the FSA group achieved significantly superior Sunnybrook scores (median FSA: 76.50, control: 73.00; Z = -2.030, p= 0.042) and H-B grades (median FSA: 2, control: 3; Z = -2.610, p = 0.009) compared to the control group. Overall clinical efficacy was 100% for FSA and 96.67% for control. No adverse reactions were reported. Discussion: FSA is a safe and effective treatment for acute PFP. It yields greater facial nerve recovery than traditional acupuncture, supporting its cumulative efficacy and broader clinical application.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease and a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Functional foods have attracted growing attention as complementary approaches to blood pressure management. Moringa oleifera leaves are rich in essential nutrients and bioactive compounds with potential antihypertensive properties through multiple physiological mechanisms. This literature review aimed to analyzed the nutritional composition and bioactive compounds of Moringa oleifera leaves and to evaluate, based on evidence from national and international studies, their mechanisms and potential role in reducing blood pressure among patients with hypertension. Methods: A literature review was performed across five databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Restricted to articles published between 2015 and 2026. The research string comprised the terms “Moringa oleifera”, “blood pressure”, and “hypertension”. Records identified through database searching were exported and de-duplicated. Title and abstract were subsequently screened against a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria, and reports considered potentially relevant were retrieved for full-text appraisal. Of 2,316 records initially identified, 238 remained after preliminary screening; 229 of these were excluded at the eligibility stage, yielding a final sample of nine studies eligible for narrative synthesis.   Results: Moringa oleifera leaves contain potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, quercetin, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid, and other phenolic compounds that contribute to blood pressure reduction. Evidence indicates that consumption of Moringa oleifera as herbal tea, decoction, extract, or nano-extract significantly decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The antihypertensive effects are mediated through enhanced nitric oxide bioavailability, inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, reduced oxidative stress, improved endothelial function, increased sodium excretion, and decreased peripheral vascular resistance. These benefits appear to result from the synergistic interaction of nutrients and bioactive compounds rather than a single constituent. Conclusion: Moringa oleifera leaves show promising potential as a functional food for hypertension management. However, larger randomized controlled trials with standardized formulations, dosages, and longer intervention periods are needed to confirm their clinical efficacy and safety.
