Abstract

Brushing teeth at night is an important habit in maintaining dental hygiene and preventing caries and can clean food debris attached to the teeth so that plaque formation during sleep can be inhibited. However, this habit is still low practiced by children. Dental caries is one of the most common dental health problems, especially in school-age children. This study aims to determine the relationship between the habit of brushing teeth at night with the incidence of dental caries in children aged 10-12 years in Gampong Laksana, Kuta Alam District, Banda Aceh City. This study used an analytic design with cross-sectional technique. The sample amounted to 38 children aged 10-12 years who were selected using proportional sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and direct examination using the DMF-T/def-t index. Analysis was done univariately and bivariately using the Chi-square test. This study was conducted on May 1-3, 2025. The results showed that the majority of children had poor nighttime brushing habits or did not brush their teeth at night as much as 71.1% and 28.9% of children had very high caries levels. Statistical test results showed a significant relationship between nighttime brushing habits and the incidence of dental caries (p-value = 0.001). There is a significant relationship between brushing teeth at night and the incidence of dental caries in children aged 10-12 years.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Adolescence is a strategic period for establishing diabetes-preventive behavior, but conventional health messages may not sustain attention. Pantobet is an interactive pocket-board medium that combines picture cards, group discussion, categorization, feedback, and game points. Objective: To evaluate changes in diabetes-prevention knowledge and attitudes after Pantobet education among grade VIII Islamic boarding school students. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study involved all 54 eligible students at Tahfizul Quran Hadiqotu Qozahul Jamil Islamic Boarding School, Merangin, in May 2026. Participants completed 15-item knowledge and 15-item attitude questionnaires before and immediately after a 15–20-minute Pantobet session. Paired analyses used the paired t test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with sensitivity analyses based on the distribution of paired differences. Results: Participants were predominantly aged 15 years (83.3%) and female (61.1%). Mean knowledge increased from 5.50 (SD 2.31) to 10.11 (SD 2.29), with a mean change of 4.61 points (95% CI 4.33–4.89; p<0.001). Median attitude increased from 51.0 (IQR 41.25–55.0) to 60.0 (IQR 54.5–65.0); all 54 participants had higher posttest scores (Wilcoxon Z=−6.398; p<0.001; r=0.87). Conclusion: Knowledge and preventive attitudes were higher immediately after Pantobet education. Because the study lacked a control group and follow-up, the findings indicate short-term pre-post change rather than definitive causal effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Nipah fruit (Nypa fruticans) is an underused mangrove fruit containing flavonoid and phenolic compounds. Objective: To evaluate sensory characteristics and total flavonoid and phenolic contents of pudding with different nipah substitution levels. Methods: A completely randomized experiment was conducted in Aceh, Indonesia, in August 2024. Three formulations containing 10%, 20%, and 30% nipah fruit were prepared in triplicate. Twenty-five moderately trained panelists evaluated color, aroma, texture, and taste using a hedonic scale. Total flavonoids and phenolics were quantified by UV-Vis spectrophotometry using quercetin and gallic acid standards. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Duncan's test. Results: Substitution significantly affected texture (p=0.007), flavonoids (p=0.002), and phenolics (p<0.001), but not color, aroma, or taste. The 20% formulation had the highest texture score (4.41), whereas the 30% formulation had the highest flavonoid (9.99 mg/L) and phenolic content (80.25 mg GAE/100 g). Conclusion: Nipah fruit increased measured bioactive compounds while maintaining acceptable sensory properties. Clinical glycemic-response studies are needed before health recommendations are made.

Abstract

Background: Pumpkin and modified cassava flour (MOCAF) can be used in composite bakery products, but sensory acceptance must be established before claims are made for a target population. Objective: To compare color, aroma, texture, and taste acceptance among three pumpkin-MOCAF muffin formulations. Methods: A comparative laboratory experiment evaluated formulations P0, P1, and P2. On 9 December 2025, 30 adult nutrition students rated each formulation using a five-point hedonic scale. The source manuscript reported Friedman tests and Wilcoxon follow-up tests at α=0.05. Results: No statistically significant differences were reported for color (p=0.107), aroma (p=0.592), or texture (p=0.120). Taste differed among formulations (p=0.006), with reported mean scores of 3.61 for P0, 3.41 for P1, and 3.22 for P2. Conclusion: The formulations differed in taste but not in the other evaluated attributes. The average assessment score for all parameters is above 3; therefore, all products are generally acceptable.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional problems among school-age children are related to growth, learning capacity, and later health risks. The original manuscript referred to nutrition literacy, although the reported instrument assessed only knowledge of balanced nutrition, foods and nutrient functions, healthy snacks, and breakfast. Objective: To examine the associations between four nutritional knowledge domains and nutritional status among elementary school students in Simeulue. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at SDN 7 Wel-Wel in 2021. All 33 fifth- and sixth-grade students were included through total sampling. Knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire, and nutritional status was determined from anthropometric measurements. The 3×3 contingency tables were reanalysed using the Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test because most expected cell counts were below five. Association strength was estimated using Cramér’s V. Results: The largest proportion of students had normal nutritional status (13; 39.4%), while 11 (33.3%) were undernourished and 9 (27.3%) had overnutrition. Knowledge of balanced nutrition, foods and nutrient functions, healthy snacks, and breakfast was associated with nutritional status (exact p=0.028, 0.006, 0.005, and 0.028, respectively). Cramér’s V ranged from 0.404 to 0.458. Conclusion: All four nutritional knowledge domains were associated with nutritional status in the studied school. The findings require cautious interpretation because of the small sample, cross-sectional design, incompletely documented instrument, and lack of control for confounding factors.

Abstract

Childhood obesity continues to increase, highlighting the need for healthier snack alternatives based on local food ingredients. This study developed Lumoca Muffin, a muffin made from pumpkin and modified cassava flour (MOCAF), as a nutritious snack. This study employed an experimental design with three formulations (P0, P1, and P2). Organoleptic testing was conducted on 30 semi-trained panelists, and the data were analyzed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests. The results showed no significant differences in color, aroma, and texture (p>0.05), while taste differed significantly (p<0.05). Formulation P0 achieved the highest overall preference, whereas P1 showed the highest acceptance for most sensory attributes. MOCAF substitution did not significantly affect most sensory characteristics of the product. The combination of wheat flour and MOCAF produced muffins with acceptable sensory quality. Lumoca Muffin has the potential to serve as a healthy snack alternative for children with obesity. Further studies are needed to evaluate its nutritional value and consumer acceptance among the target population.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent obesity is a growing public health problem, and limited knowledge may hinder healthy food and activity choices. Printed booklets allow students to revisit concise information and may support classroom nutrition education. Objective: To assess changes in obesity-related knowledge after booklet-based nutrition education among junior high school students. Methods: This pre-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design among all 30 eighth-grade students at SMPN 1 Lhoknga, Aceh Besar. Knowledge was measured before and after the intervention using a questionnaire. The intervention content, duration, questionnaire characteristics, statistical test, and software require author confirmation. Results: Participants were aged 15 years (76.7%) or 16 years (23.3%); 66.7% were boys. The mean knowledge score increased from 5.03 (SD 1.69) before education to 10.20 (SD 2.26) afterward, a mean difference of 5.17 points. The original analysis reported p<0.001. Conclusion: Knowledge scores were higher after booklet-based nutrition education. Because this study had no comparison group and limited methodological detail, the finding should be interpreted as a pre-post change rather than definitive evidence of effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Antenatal breastfeeding counseling can strengthen maternal readiness, while booklets allow key messages to be reviewed repeatedly. This study assessed changes in knowledge and attitudes among third-trimester pregnant women after booklet-based exclusive breastfeeding counseling. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study involved all 20 third-trimester pregnant women registered in the Ingin Jaya Community Health Center area, Aceh Besar, selected by total sampling. Knowledge and attitude were measured using interviewer-administered questionnaires before and after counseling. Data were summarized descriptively and analyzed using paired t tests at a 95% confidence level. Results: Mean knowledge scores increased from 14.15 +/- 2.94 to 19.35 +/- 2.41, with a mean difference of 5.20 +/- 2.50 (95% CI, 4.10-6.30; p<0.001). Mean attitude scores increased from 34.75 +/- 2.99 to 44.45 +/- 3.58, with a mean difference of 9.70 +/- 4.30 (95% CI, 7.70-11.70; p<0.001). Conclusion: Booklet-based exclusive breastfeeding counseling was associated with substantial improvements in knowledge and attitudes among third-trimester pregnant women. Because the study had no control group and measured immediate intermediate outcomes, controlled studies with postpartum follow-up are needed to determine effects on exclusive breastfeeding practice.

Abstract

Background: The “Me Bu Gateing” supplementary feeding programme adapts a Bireuen tradition to support maternal nutrition education, but Posyandu implementation showed inconsistent portions and limited menu variation. Objective: To develop and assess a pocket guide for cadres. Methods: A research and development study was conducted at Gandapura Community Health Center from August 2023 to February 2024 through needs assessment, media design, stakeholder focus group discussion, expert appraisal, revision, and field testing. Qualitative findings were analysed thematically; feasibility ratings used a five-point Likert scale and are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Results: The needs assessment identified the absence of a concise guide, non-standard portions, limited local-food use, and the need for pregnancy-appropriate menus. The final A6 guide contained 36 pages. Expert scores were 4.33 ± 0.82 for layout, 4.79 ± 0.25 for content, and 4.71 ± 0.34 for comprehensibility. Field testing produced 4.85 ± 0.11. Conclusion: The guide was highly feasible and acceptable as a cadre job aid; effectiveness on cadre competence and maternal outcomes requires further evaluation.
