Abstract

Background: The increasing use of plastic in daily life has contributed to the growing abundance of microplastics in Indonesia. Improperly managed plastic waste is frequently found in rivers, seas, and lakes. In aquatic environments, microplastics are persistent pollutants that can remain for extended periods. Their presence poses significant threats to environmental sustainability, disrupting ecosystem balance, threatening aquatic biota, and potentially impacting human health. Objective: This study aims to identify and describe the abundance of microplastics in Indonesia's coastal areas. Methods: This research employs a literature review approach, analyzing relevant articles and studies that report the occurrence and distribution of microplastics, particularly in the coastal regions of Indonesia. Results: Microplastics have been identified in various aquatic ecosystems across Indonesia, including in water columns, sediments, and the digestive tracts of fish. The types of microplastics commonly found include fibers, films, fragments, pellets, and foams. These microplastics primarily originate from the degradation of larger plastic materials that accumulate and pollute aquatic environments. Conclusion: Microplastic pollution represents a critical environmental challenge for Indonesia's aquatic ecosystems. The western part of Indonesia tends to exhibit a higher abundance of microplastics, primarily due to intensive human activities and higher population density. The presence of microplastics can adversely affect aquatic organisms, disrupt ecological balance, and pose potential health risks to humans through the food chain.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition is a condition of nutrient deficiency or imbalance that affects growth, cognitive development, and overall health, and remains a significant health problem both globally and regionally. In the long term, high rates of stunting can threaten national welfare and resilience. The provision of Supplementary Feeding (Pemberian Makanan Tambahan or PMT) is an intervention aimed at addressing undernutrition in toddlers by providing safe, high-quality snacks that meet the nutritional needs of children, while also ensuring food safety and appropriate nutrient content. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of supplementary feeding programs using local food ingredients in addressing nutritional problems in Indonesia. Method: This research is a systematic review conducted using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method. Articles included in the review focus on interventions involving supplementary feeding with local food to improve the nutritional status of toddlers. Results: The findings show that supplementary feeding programs based on local food ingredients are effective in improving the nutritional status of toddlers, particularly in reducing the prevalence of stunting and underweight. These programs support the principles of food diversity, balanced nutrition, and food safety. Several studies report improvements in anthropometric indicators such as weight-for-age and height-for-age after consistent provision of supplementary food sourced from local ingredients, such as fortified snacks, traditional food modifications, and nutrient-enriched complementary feeding. Conclusion: Supplementary feeding programs (PMT) utilizing local food ingredients are effective interventions for improving the nutritional status of toddlers in Indonesia. These programs not only address malnutrition but also promote food security and support local food resource utilization. Keywords: Nutritional status, stunting, supplementary feeding, local food, toddler nutrition

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, resulting from the body’s inability to produce sufficient insulin or to utilize insulin effectively. This condition leads to hyperglycemia, which manifests through typical symptoms such as frequent urination in large volumes with a sweet odor, commonly referred to as “sweet urine.” A blood glucose concentration exceeding 200 mg/dL indicates an abnormality in the body’s glucose regulation. Objective: This study aims to identify the risk factors contributing to the incidence of diabetes mellitus in coastal areas. Methods: This research employed a systematic literature review (SLR) design, utilizing a structured library research approach. References were collected from secondary data derived from previous studies. The data sources consisted of scientific articles and journals accessible through the Google Scholar database. Results: The review revealed that factors such as age, sex, occupation, dietary patterns, physical activity, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle were significantly associated with the incidence of DM in coastal areas. In contrast, dietary habits related to specific food consumption and smoking behavior did not show a significant association with DM incidence in these regions. Conclusion: Risk factors contributing to diabetes mellitus in coastal areas include individual characteristics, family history, lifestyle, fruit consumption, and physical activity levels. Conversely, vegetable consumption and general dietary patterns were not identified as primary risk factors. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, characteristics, genetics, physical activity, lifestyle, coastal areas

Abstract

Background: Gastritis, or inflammation of the gastric mucosa, is a common global health problem, including in Indonesia. Coastal populations have a higher vulnerability to this disease due to a combination of lifestyle, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. Irregular eating patterns, frequent consumption of spicy or acidic foods, smoking, and coffee consumption are major contributing factors. Additionally, heavy labor such as fishing and malnutrition further increase the risk in this population. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the risk factors for gastritis through a systematic literature review of 15 studies published between 2018 and 2024. Method: This study employed a systematic literature review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach. Data were collected from 15 relevant research articles published between 2018 and 2024. Results: The main risk factors for gastritis include irregular eating patterns, consumption of spicy or acidic foods, smoking, and coffee intake. Low socioeconomic status and physically demanding occupations, such as fishing, exacerbate vulnerability. Coastal adolescents with low energy intake have a fourfold higher risk of developing gastritis. Stress increases the risk of gastritis by 2.8 times. Health education interventions have been shown to improve public understanding, with knowledge scores increasing from 43 to 76 points. Conclusion: Gastritis in coastal regions is a multifactorial health problem influenced by lifestyle, socioeconomic, and psychological factors. Comprehensive prevention strategies should include nutritional education, stress management, and improved access to quality healthcare services.
