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.
