<![CDATA[The most influential factor in the anemia is severe menstrual bleeding on each cycle. Heavy menstrual bleeding that can periodically reduce iron stores in the body so that the body has an iron deficiency and lead to anemia. This study aimed to find out the relationship between menstrual blood counts and nutritional intake with hemoglobin (Hb) levels in girls. The study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 169 young girls in middle school in Banyumas District, Central Java, Indonesia. The amount of menstrual blood was seen using a questionnaire menstrual pictogram. The nutritional intake studied was the intake of protein, fibre, iron, and vitamin C using an FFQ semi-quantitative questionnaire and Hb levels through the insertion of peripheral blood. Data analysis using is chi-square and Fisher exact tests. There was no significant relationship between the amount of menstrual blood with Hb levels (p = 0.54 CI 95% = 0.36-1.74), protein intake (p = 0.26), fibre intake (p = 0.78) and iron intake (p = 0.44). There was a significant relationship between vitamin C intake and Hb levels (p = 0.03 CI 95% = 1.04-4.10). There is a significant relationship between vitamin C intake and hemoglobin levels in young girls. ]]>

<![CDATA[Abstrak. Stunting dan wasting saling terkait dengan peningkatan mortalitas terutama ketika keduanya dialami oleh anak yang sama serta meningkatnya angka kematian dan kesakitan perinatal di Indonesia diakibatkan oleh kehamilan dan kelahiran pada usia remaja. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis besarnya risiko kehamilan usia remaja terhadap kejadian stunting dan wasting pada anak usia 6-24 bulan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain nested case-control study dengan menganalisis data Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) periode ke-5. Hasil analisis bivariabel kejadian stunting dan wasting  tidak berhubungan secara statistik terhadap kehamilan usia remaja dengan nilai p=0, 39 (OR=1, 30; CI 95 = 0, 67-2, 48). Hasil analisis multivariat kejadian stunting dan wasting dengan kehamilan usia remaja dengan mengikut sertakan variabel berat badan lahir, tinggi badan ibu, penyakit infeksi, dan lokasi tempat tinggal tidak berhubungan secara statistik dengan nilai p=0,47 (OR=1,25; 95% CI=0,67-2,35). Penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa tidak berhubungan secara statistik antara kehamilan usia remaja dengan kejadian stunting dan wasting, namun tetap di perlukan startegi untuk menurunkan angka kehamilan usia remaja melalui sosialisasi dan edukasi bahaya pernikahan dini guna mendapatkan generasi dengan status kesehatan yang lebih baik.]]>

<![CDATA[East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) occupies the first position in the incidence of malnutrition in Indonesia, with Kupang City as the third highest position in cases of malnutrition in NTT Province. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of supplemental feeding based on local food (Moringa nuggets) on improving status. Nutrition for toddlers. This research was conducted in 2020, using a quasi experimental research method with a pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 90 respondents were selected using purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using a questionnaire, anthropometric measurements to measure nutritional status, and recording weight gain at the beginning and end of moringa nuggets. Each research subject in the case group was given Moringa nuggets for 30 days as many as 3 pieces of nuggets per day, where each piece contained 11.4% protein. Data analysis was performed bivariately using the Pearson correlation test with α = 0.05 and pre-post comparison analysis with paired samples T-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in changes in nutritional status of children under five before and after giving Moringa nuggets to underweight children under the anthropometric index of weight / age indicated by p = 0.041 (p <0.05). Meanwhile, the anthropometric index weight / height did not show a significant difference with a value of p = 0.052.]]>

<![CDATA[Globally, helminthiasis is one of the infectious diseases that are often associated with the incidence of tuberculosis. Helminth co-infection modulates the immune system of TB patients by reducing Th-1 response that functions as protector against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This condition disrupts the process of eliminating bacteria so that its development becomes more progressive. The impact is the activation of latent TB and the success of TB treatment. A Soil-transmitted Helminth (STH) is a group of intestinal worms that often infect humans. Previous studies prove that environmental sanitation and personal hygiene are risk factors associated with STH infection. The study to determine the relationship of environmental sanitation and personal hygiene with the incidence of STH co-infection in TB patients at Puskesmas Puger, Jember in September until December 2019. This study uses a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique uses total sampling. A total of 32 TB patients met the criteria as study sample. The data analysis uses Fisher Test. Results showed the prevalence of STH co-infection was relatively low (18.8%); most of the respondents had good environmental sanitation and personal hygiene conditions. Bivariate analysis showed p-value (0,476) for environmental sanitation and p-value (1,000) for personal hygiene. This study concludes that there is no correlation between environmental sanitation, personal hygiene, and STH co-infection in TB patients at Public health center in Puger.]]>

<![CDATA[The development of child motor skills is closely related to nutritional status. Stunted children generally experience delays in motor development. The objective was to determine the relationship between stunting, socioeconomic status, and children’s motor skill development. This research was conducted in 2018 using a cross-sectional method. Respondents were 80 children aged 48-60 months in urban and rural areas of West Java. The researcher used a simple random technique data collection on anthropometric, socioeconomic, and motor skills development. Then it was analyzed using chi-square and Fisher exact methods. The researcher used a simple random technique data collection on anthropometric, socioeconomic, and motor skills development. Then it was analyzed using chi-square and Fisher exact methods. We found that stunting prevalence in rural areas was higher than in urban areas. As much as 30 % of children in rural areas and only 12.5 % of children in urban areas were categorized as stunted. There is no significant association between stunting with the family’s socioeconomic status and motor skill development. The weight for the age variable showed a significant association with stunting. Children who are malnourished have a stunting risk of 10.9 times greater than normal children (OR 10.9 p < 0.001).]]>

<![CDATA[Wet cupping therapy can remove toxins and prevent atherosclerosis. This process will stimulate the sensitivity of the arterial baroreflex which will stimulate a decrease in blood pressure. This is to determine the impact of cupping therapy on the sensitivity of arterial baroreflex with blood pressure indicators in the elderly suffering from hypertension. Quasi-experimental research using pre and post-test and group control design approaches. The sampling technique was simple random sampling, consisting of 21 respondents which was carried out from January to April 2020. The statistics used the General Linear Model Repeated Measures (GLM-RM) test. There was a significant difference between the sensitivity of arterial baroreflex on blood pressure measurement indicators before and after 2 weeks of follow-up period at systolic BP p-value = 0.000 (24.29 ± 8.11 mmHg) and diastolic BP p-value = 0.001 (5.24 ± 6.02); between 2 weeks and 4 weeks at systolic BP p-value = 0.000 (10.95 ± 6.25 mmHg) and diastolic BP p-value = 0.000 (9.05 ± 6.25 mmHg); Between 4 weeks and 6 weeks there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of arterial baroreflex on the measurement indicator systolic BP p-value = 0.267 (-1.43 ± 5.73) and BP diastole p-value = 0.771 (-0.48 ± 7.40). Wet cupping therapy effectively increases the sensitivity of arterial baroreflex with an indicator of decreasing blood pressure in the elderly suffering from hypertension to a limit of 4 weeks after therapy and measurement after 6 weeks of having increased blood pressure.]]>

<![CDATA[High-intensity physical exercise causes physical stress that will suppress immune system in athlete’s body. Decreased immune system function can cause physiological and pathological changes such as fatigue, reduce athlete performance, and increase risk of infection. Regulation diets of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) are known to help control blood glucose during exercise so the immune system can be maintained.The purpose of this study was to determine differences effects of low and high glycemic load diets on immune responses in adolescent football athletes. This study was a quasi experimental with multiple time series design, conducted on 22 adolescent football athletes aged 15-17 years old. The subjects were divided into two groups, low GL diet group was given carbohydrate-source foods with GL 9.15, high GL diet group was given foods with GL 27.29. Diet was given once in the morning and 2 hours later subjects doing RAST (Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test) to trigger physical stress. Immune response was measure using total leukocytes and leukocytes differential count. There were no significant differences in blood glucose levels, leukocyte counts, and leukocytes differential count between low GL and high GL groups (p>0.05). Low GL diet causes an increase in blood glucose and total leukocytes smaller than high GL diet. ]]>
