Abstract

Background: Adolescent girls are the group most vulnerable to decreased hemoglobin (Hb) levels. The habit of consuming ultra-processed foods is thought to be one of the factors contributing to low hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption patterns and hemoglobin (Hb) levels in adolescent girls. Methods: This study is an observational study using a cross-sectional design with 81 female students of SMP Negeri 2 Kota Tasikmalaya as subjects. The Hb level was measured using HemoCue® 201+. Pattern of UPF consumption (habits and amount of UPF consumption, as well as consumption of animal protein and heme iron from UPF) was measured using the SQ-FF. Data analysis used Spearman's Rank correlation and multiple linear regression modeling. Results: The mean Hb level of the subjects was 11.96 g/dL with an anemia incidence of 42%. The mean score of UPF consumption habits was 350. Statistical tests showed that UPF consumption habits (p=0.815), the amount of UPF consumption (p=0.906), animal protein consumption in UPF (p=0.743), and heme iron consumption in UPF (p=0.950) were not significantly related to hemoglobin levels. The results of multiple linear regression modeling showed that total animal protein consumption was the dominant factor related to subject Hb levels. Conclusion: The incidence of anemia among the subjects remains high. There is no significant relationship between UPF consumption and hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. However, the selection of UPF types still needs to be considered in the formulation of adolescent diets.

Abstract

Background: Visceral fat and skeletal muscle mass are important components in glucose metabolism regulation, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Visceral fat is aasociated with insulin resistance, while skeletal muscle serves as the primary site of glucose uptake after meals. Objective: To analyze the association between visceral fat and muscle mass with random blood glucose levels in patients with T2DM. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2024 at the Kota Agung Primary Health Center, Tanggamus Regency, involving 58 T2DM patients selected through purposive sampling. Visceral fat and muscle mass were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and random blood glucose levels were assessed using a glucometer. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test. Result: A significant positive association was observed between visceral fat and random blood glucose levels (r = 0.387, p = 0.003). Conversely, a significant negative association was found between muscle mass and random blood glucose levels (r = –0.386, p = 0.003). Female patients generally showed higher visceral fat, lower muscle mass, and higher random blood glucose levels than male patients. Conclusion: Visceral fat is positively associated, and skeletal muscle mass is negatively associated with random blood glucose levels in T2DM patients. These findings highlight the importance of body composition in glycemic control and suggest that interventions targeting visceral fat reduction and muscle mass preservation may be effective in managing T2DM.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in Indonesia and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Low hemoglobin levels are a common negative prognostic factor in cancer patients, influenced by chemotherapy, nutritional status, and deficiencies in hemoglobin-forming nutrients. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between protein, iron, and vitamin C intake, nutritional status, and frequency of chemotherapy with hemoglobin levels in breast cancer patients, and to assess differences in the consumption of nutrient-rich food sources between patients with low and normal hemoglobin levels at Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Jakarta. Methods: A cross-sectional design was applied from 11 November to 6 December 2024 involving 90 purposively selected respondents. Data were collected through interviews using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Correlation analyses were performed using Pearson and Spearman tests, while differences were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test. Results: Most respondents were in early elderly age (45–59 years). A significant and strong correlation was found between protein, iron, and vitamin C intake and hemoglobin levels (p=0.0001), while nutritional status (p=0.090) and frequency of chemotherapy (p=0.222) were not significantly associated with hemoglobin levels. Significant differences were found in the consumption of chicken (p=0.006), chicken liver (p=0.006), tempeh (p=0.046), spinach (p=0.010), guava (p=0.000), and papaya (p=0.032) between patients with low and normal hemoglobin levels. Conclusion: Indicating that protein, iron, and vitamin C intake were associated with hemoglobin levels, while nutritional status and chemotherapy frequency were not.

Abstract

Background: Anaemia is a common health problem among adolescents and can affect academic performance. In 2023, the WHO reported that the prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls was 48.9%, up from 37.1% in 2018. The SKI study in 2023 recorded a national prevalence of 16.2%, while in Central Java and the city of Semarang, the prevalence was around 30%. These high figures highlight the importance of providing effective nutrition education to improve adolescent girls' knowledge and attitudes towards anaemia, including through e-booklets. Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of e-booklet nutrition education on knowledge and attitudes about anemia among adolescent girls. Method: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. Twenty respondents were included in each group. The data collected were knowledge and attitude scores obtained through a questionnaire. Statistical analysis used the Independent T-Test and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: E-booklets are considered a suitable educational medium. The treatment group demonstrated greater increases in knowledge (22) and attitude (12.90) than the control group, which increased by 11 and 7.90, respectively. Using e-booklets for education had a significant effect on the knowledge (p = 0.000) and attitude (p = 0.002) of adolescent girls. Conclusion: The e-booklet on anemia nutrition education effectively increased knowledge by 90% and attitudes by 88%.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is the excessive accumulation of fat resulting from a prolonged imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. According to the Surakarta City Health Profile, the number of obesity cases among individuals aged 18 years and above increased to 8,889 cases in 2021, up from 5,384 cases recorded in 2020. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of leaflet media versus educational games using PowerPoint with hyperlinks in improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes regarding obesity prevention. Methods: This study employed an experimental quantitative research design to examine the effectiveness of the experimental variables. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group approach was used, in which the intervention was applied to an experimental group and compared to a control group. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney test. Results: There was a significant difference in adolescents' knowledge between the leaflet and the PowerPoint hyperlink educational game media, with a p-value of 0.00 (< 0.05). The mean for the leaflet group was 10.13, higher than that of the PowerPoint game group, which was 8.57. However, there was no significant difference in adolescents' attitudes between the two media, with a p-value of 0.08 (> 0.05), and mean ranks of 40.31 for the leaflet group and 38.81 for the PowerPoint game group. Conclusion: Leaflet media is more effective in improving adolescents' knowledge compared to the PowerPoint hyperlink educational game. However, both media have a similar impact on enhancing adolescents' attitudes toward obesity prevention.

Abstract

Background: Basketball is a high-intensity and fast-paced sport, often leading athletes to experience fatigue before the game concludes. Players' performance in basketball is supported by good aerobic endurance, which constitutes approximately 65% of the game's physical demands. Infused water containing red ginger, strawberries, and mint leaves is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, thereby maintaining the athletes' aerobic endurance.Objective: To determine the difference in aerobic endurance before and after the administration of infused water with red ginger, strawberries, and mint leaves in basketball school athletes.Method: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, involving a single group measured for aerobic endurance before and after receiving the infused water. The infused water was administered six times over two weeks during each training session. The sample consisted of all members of the U-18 team, totaling 28 athletes, selected through total sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the Paired T-test.Results: The study found that the infused water containing red ginger, strawberries, and mint leaves exhibited an antioxidant activity of 89%, categorized as very strong. Following the two-week intervention, there was a significant difference in the aerobic endurance values of the basketball athletes before and after consuming the infused water, with a p-value of 0.005.Conclusion: Infused water with red ginger, strawberries, and mint leaves can serve as a natural sports drink alternative, as it effectively enhances aerobic endurance in basketball athletes.

Abstract

Background: Hemoglobin (Hb) played an important role in cognitive function and academic achievement. However, the direct association between Hb levels and student learning outcomes, particularly in Islamic boarding school–based campuses, has not been widely studied. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between hemoglobin levels and Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) as well as Pesantren Achievement Index (IPKS) among female students in a pesantren-based university.Methods: This was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach involving 84 sixth-semester female students. Hb levels were measured using the EasyTouch GCHb device, while GPA and IPKS data were obtained from academic records. The Fisher Exact Test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Most respondents had normal hemoglobin levels (95.2%), good GPA (98.8%), and good IPKS (89.3%). No statistically significant relationship was found between Hb levels and GPA (p = 0.952) or IPKS (p = 0.055), although a practically relevant trend was observed in the IPKS results. Conclusion: There was no significant association between hemoglobin levels and student learning achievement as measured by GPA and IPKS. Academic and pesantren achievements were likely influenced by other factors beyond hemoglobin status, suggesting that intervention approaches should be multidimensional.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and low-grade inflammation that disrupts cytokine production, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), which plays a key role in β-cell function and survival. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Centella asiatica ethanol extract on IL-1β expression in streptozotocin–nicotinamide (STZ-NA)–induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat models. Method: The study employed a randomized post-test-only controlled group design involving 48 male Wistar rats, which were randomly allocated into six experimental groups, including two control groups. Observations and outcome measurements were conducted on days 28 and 35. Treatments included Centella asiatica extract at doses of 300, 600, and 1200 mg/kgBW and metformin as a comparison. IL-1β expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry and scored using the Immunoreactive Score (IRS). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests. Results: Results showed that STZ-NA induction decreased IL-1β expression compared with normal controls. Administration of Centella asiatica extract significantly influenced IL-1β expression (p < 0.05). The 1200 mg/kgBW dose restored IL-1β expression to levels comparable with the normal control and metformin groups, especially at 35 days. Conclusion: In conclusion, Centella asiatica ethanol extract improves impaired cytokine production in T2DM rats, and the 1200 mg/kgBW dose for 35 days demonstrates the strongest effect in normalizing IL-1β expression.
