Abstract

The prevalence of anemia is 32%, meaning that 3 to 4 out of every 10 adolescents have anemia. One way to address anemia is through the consumption of foods rich in iron and vitamin C. Jackfruit seeds and pumpkin are local food ingredients that contain iron, protein, and vitamin C, and can be processed into functional food products such as cookies. This study aimed to determine the effect of substituting jackfruit seed flour and pumpkin flour on the organoleptic properties and nutritional value of cookies as an effort to diversify nutritious local foods to prevent anemia in adolescent girls. This research was an experimental study using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments of jackfruit seed flour and pumpkin flour ratios: P1 (20%:25%), P2 (25%:20%), and P3 (30%:15%). Organoleptic tests were conducted by 30 student panelists from the Nutrition Department of Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to examine differences between treatments. Results: Conversion results showed that 1,000 grams of jackfruit seeds produced 650 grams of flour (conversion ratio 1.53:1), while 1,500 grams of pumpkin produced 400 grams of flour (conversion ratio 3.75:1). The organoleptic test results indicated that all treatments received average scores close to 5, categorized as “liked very much.” Treatment P3 (30%:15%) received the highest scores for color (4.90), aroma (4.73), texture (4.80), and taste (4.73). ANOVA results showed no significant differences (p>0.05) in all organoleptic aspects. Based on nutritional analysis, cookies from P1 (20%:25%) had the highest nutritional content, with protein 0.66 g, iron 0.17 mg, and vitamin C 0.36 IU per piece. To meet 10% of the daily iron requirement for adolescent girls, it is recommended to consume 11 pieces of P1 cookies. Conclusion: Substitution of jackfruit seed flour and pumpkin flour up to 45% (P3) produced cookies with a high level of preference without reducing organoleptic quality. P1 cookies are recommended because they have higher nutritional content, especially iron, protein, and vitamin C, which are beneficial in helping prevent anemia in adolescent girls.

Abstract

The nutritional status of women before marriage significantly impacts their physical readiness and reproductive health. An unbalanced diet—whether due to deficiency or excess—can affect fertility and fetal health. Women with undernutrition may experience menstrual irregularities, difficulty conceiving, or give birth to low-birth-weight babies. Meanwhile, overnutrition can lead to obesity and pregnancy complications. Therefore, maintaining a balanced diet before marriage is crucial for supporting pregnancy and the health of both the mother and the baby. According to the results of the 2023 Indonesia Health Survey, the prevalence of BMI-based nutritional status in NTT Province was 14.5% wasting, 56.3% normal, 12.1% overweight, and 17.1% obese, while the prevalence of KEK was 28.0% among pregnant women and 35.7% among non-pregnant women. This study aims to determine the nutritional status (BMI, mid-upper arm circumference, and waist circumference) of premarital women. The study design used was a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The study results show that the majority of respondents had a BMI-based nutritional status in the normal category (65.3%), while 27.8% were overweight and 6.9% were underweight. Based on LILA measurements, the majority of respondents fell into the normal category (88.9%), while 13.9% were at risk of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED). Meanwhile, waist circumference measurements indicated that 37.5% of respondents were in the obese category. The nutritional status of premarital women in the Alak Community Health Center’s service area is mostly normal. However, some still suffer from obesity; therefore, regular nutrition education and monitoring are necessary.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus occurs when the body can no longer produce sufficient insulin or is unable to use insulin effectively. According to SKI 2023, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes among individuals aged ≥15 years reached 50.2%, while East Nusa Tenggara Province reported a prevalence of 45.9% in the same year. Medical record data from Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes Kupang Regional General Hospital indicated that there were 797 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus from January to December. This study was conducted to assess the relationship between magnesium and vitamin C intake and random blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study employed a descriptive analytical approach with a cross-sectional design, conducted from June 17 to July 17, 2025. Samples were selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 40 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The variables examined included magnesium intake, vitamin C intake, and random blood glucose levels, all analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The findings revealed that 42.5% of respondents (17 individuals) had deficient magnesium intake. The Chi-Square test produced a p-value of 0.002, indicating a significant association between magnesium intake and random blood glucose levels. Meanwhile, 20 respondents (50%) had deficient vitamin C intake, but the statistical test showed a p-value of 0.184, demonstrating no significant relationship. Additionally, 39 respondents (97.5%) had high random blood glucose levels, with only one respondent (2.5%) falling within the normal category. Overall, the study concludes that magnesium intake is significantly associated with random blood glucose levels, whereas vitamin C intake shows no such association among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Stunting remains a prominent nutritional issue in Indonesia, including in the city of Kupang, where the prevalence reaches 31.9%. Identifying local risk factors is crucial for determining appropriate intervention strategies. This study aims to analyze the relationship between direct breastfeeding, a history of low birth weight (LBW), maternal knowledge level, and family income with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 52–104 weeks. This study employed a cross-sectional design. A sample of 76 toddlers was selected from a population of 301 toddlers in the service area of the Oesapa Community Health Center, Kupang City. Data analysis showed no significant association between stunting and direct breastfeeding (p=0.204), a history of LBW (p=0.204), maternal knowledge level (p=0.824), or parental income (p=0.699). These findings indicate that these factors are not the sole determinants in this region, and there is a possibility of influence from other external factors not examined in this study, such as environmental sanitation, access to clean water, or the frequency of infections among toddlers. The internal and socioeconomic factors tested were not found to have a direct effect on stunting at the Oesapa Community Health Center. A more comprehensive approach is needed through nutrition education, improved child-rearing practices, interventions targeting environmental factors, and the strengthening of cross-sectoral health services.

Abstract

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) remains a major nutritional issue among toddlers and significantly contributes to Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) remains a major nutritional problem among infants and young children and contributes to high child mortality rates. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that approximately 54% of child deaths are caused by Protein-Energy Malnutrition. One preventive measure involves utilizing local foods, such as skipjack tuna—which is high in animal protein—and red beans as a source of plant-based protein, by processing them into stick-shaped products. These stick products are designed as snacks weighing 50 grams per serving to help meet the daily nutritional needs of healthy infants and toddlers, supplementing their daily nutritional requirements beyond main meals. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of adding red bean flour on the organoleptic acceptability (color, aroma, taste, and texture) as well as the nutritional value of skipjack tuna sticks. An experimental research method was used with three treatments: the addition of 42% red bean flour (L1), 47% (L2), and 52% (L3). Organoleptic testing was conducted by panelists using the Kruskal-Wallis test, while nutritional value analysis was based on TKPI 2020. The results of the organoleptic test showed no significant differences among the treatments (p > 0.05), but all formulations fell into the “like” category (scores of 3.6–4.0). In terms of color, L1 and L2 were the most preferred; for aroma and texture, L2 and L3 were preferred; while L2 received the highest score for taste. Nutritional analysis showed an increase in energy and protein as the proportion of red beans increased, with the highest values in L3 (Energy 2,413.4 kcal; protein 93.8 g; fat 97.75 g; carbohydrates 293.25 g). Based on the nutritional analysis results, the recommended formulation is skipjack fish sticks with 52% red bean flour added (L3). As a snack, this product has higher energy and protein levels than the other treatments, which can help meet the energy and protein needs of undernourished toddlers. Further research is needed regarding the content or analysis of other micronutrients in the fish stick formulation.

Abstract

The final year of college is a transitional period prone to high stress, which theoretically can affect eating behavior and macronutrient intake, thereby impacting nutritional status. Nutrition students are expected to have better self-control; however, the pressure of final projects remains a risk factor for psychological well-being and dietary management. This study aims to analyze the relationship between stress levels and macronutrient intake (protein, fat, carbohydrates) with nutritional status among final-year students in the Department of Nutrition at the Kupang Ministry of Health Polytechnic in 2025. This is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in May–June 2025 at the Department of Nutrition, Kupang Public Health Polytechnic. The sample consisted of 100 final-year students selected using purposive sampling. Data were statistically analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The majority of respondents experienced very severe stress (89.0%). Most respondents had an inadequate intake of macronutrients, including protein (70.0%), fat (93.0%), and carbohydrates (92.0%). The distribution of nutritional status based on BMI showed the following categories: severely underweight (18.0%), underweight (19.0%), overweight (12.0%), and obese (1.0%). Statistical test results showed no significant association between stress levels (p=0.111), protein intake (p=0.396), fat intake (p=0.582), and carbohydrate intake (p=0.616) and nutritional status. Conclusion: There was no significant association between stress levels and macronutrient intake and nutritional status among senior college students. High stress levels and low macronutrient intake did not directly reflect the nutritional status of the respondents in this study, which was likely influenced by other factors such as the duration of stress or physical activity.
