Abstract

Stunting remains a burden on national health development. One contributing factor to stunting is maternal child‐feeding patterns. Identifying maternal child‐feeding patterns is vital for selecting priority interventions. This study aims to analyze which maternal child‐feeding patterns most influence the incidence of stunting among toddlers aged 24-59 months in Jombang Regency and Pasuruan City. The study used a case-control design involving 292 respondents (146 cases and 146 controls) and collected data through interviews with structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The results showed that family size (p = 0.045), the starting time of early initiation of breastfeeding (p = 0.002), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.006), complementary feeding (p = 0.031), and formula feeding before 6 months (p = 0.003) affected the incidence of stunting among toddlers. Multivariate analysis revealed that the start time of early initiation of breastfeeding was the most influential factor in the incidence of stunting (p = 0.029; OR = 0.537; 95% CI: 0.307-0.939). Health workers should encourage mothers to initiate breastfeeding early and maintain it for an adequate duration.

Abstract

Indonesia still faces the Triple Burden of Malnutrition, which can impact the dietary choices of adolescents to balance their nutritional intake and, simultaneously, emphasize the need for effective nutrition education. This study aimed to determine the effect of nutrition education delivered through the UNAGI game and videos on knowledge and nutritional intake of high school students. This quasi-experimental study was conducted with students from Public Senior High School 12 in Bekasi City, where the participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention was provided once a week for two consecutive weeks. Knowledge was measured using a questionnaire, and food intake was assessed through 24-hour food recall. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test for the difference between groups and paired t-test/Wilcoxon for pre-post comparisons, with α significant level of 5%. Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in knowledge and dietary intake between the two groups. Post-intervention, a significant improvement in nutrition knowledge (p-value of 0.000) was noted in the intervention group exposed to the snake and ladder nutrition game. However, there were no significant changes in energy intake (p-value of 0.162), fat intake (p-value of 0.144), sugar consumption (p-value of 0.066), and salt consumption (p-value of 0.944). The findings support the recommendation of utilizing UNAGI games for nutrition education in the digital era as a valuable alternative to visual media, effectively contributing to enhanced nutritional understanding among adolescents.

Abstract

Cookies serve as an alternative snack option and an additional food source for toddlers. These cookies are widely enjoyed due to their taste, soft, and crunchy texture. This study aimed to analyze the chemical and organoleptic quality of Lekamer Fortir cookies, made from local food ingredients consisting of catfish, forte, oyster mushrooms, and red beans. This study used ANOVA test and analyzed the chemical, physical, and sensory quality of cookies, exploring their potential to prevent malnutrition. The selected cookies, formula D, consisted of 40 grams of red bean flour, 10 grams of oyster mushroom flour, 40 grams of catfish flour, and 10 grams of tempeh formula flour. Organoleptic test results showed an average score of 3.79, indicating a strong preference. Further examination of the nutritional composition of Formula D revealed that carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber were below 100% of the 2019 Recommended Daily Allowance (AKG) requirement. In contrast, calcium, zinc, and iron (Fe) content exceeded 100% of the 2019 AKG requirement. The results of the panelists’ preference for cookies using red bean flour, catfish flour, white oyster mushroom flour, and forte showed no significant differences in color, texture, and taste in each sample.

Abstract

Stunting, a chronic condition arising due to nutritional deficiencies during pre- and postpartum periods, is a significant public health issue in Indonesia, with a nationwide prevalence of approximately 29.6% and about 22.6% in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. This research aimed to identify the risk factors associated with stunting in toddlers aged 12-35 months and calculate the economic losses incurred by this condition. To achieve this, a cross-sectional design was employed. The population in this study were toddlers aged 12-35 months in Pedamaran sub-district, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. A sample of 77 toddlers were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, and calculations based on the Konig 1995 and Horton 1999 formulas were used to analyze the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita. The research found a stunting prevalence rate of 51.9% in toddlers. Additionally, dietary diversity emerged as a significant factor related to stunting (p-value of 0.0001) and was identified as the most dominant factor. In contrast, economic status, toddler participation, and history of infectious diseases were not significantly related to stunting (p-value > α). The estimated potential economic losses incurred by stunting amounted to IDR 170 billion and IDR 765 billion, respectively, or 0.67%-3.03% of OKI’s GRDP, resulting from a 2% and 9% decrease in productivity. Hence, this research suggests that food consumption diversity is the most dominant factor significantly related to stunting in toddlers in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) generally occurs in adults and becomes more prevalent with age. Most e-health tools are often described as web-based platforms or applications designed for the general public, rather than specifically for MetS patients. Mobile applications, however, have great potential in providing internet-based health education and supporting the self-management of MetS patients, particularly in diet management and physical activity. This study aimed to synthesize the findings on the impact of mobile app interventions in enhancing self-management practices among MetS patients. A comprehensive literature search covering the years 2019 to 2023 was conducted across Science Direct, ProQuest, and PubMed databases. From 16,628 articles analyzed, 11 were selected for review. The interventions were categorized into short-term (> 12 months) and long-term (≥ 12 months). Eleven mobile applications were identified. These applications were primarily free and designed to facilitate the management of diet and physical activity. The study observed significant changes in the components of metabolic syndrome, including weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, body mass index, fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, and High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol. Furthermore, these mobile applications demonstrated a positive impact on the lifestyle of MetS patients, influencing factors such as eating behavior, physical activity, self-efficacy, sleep quality, and sleep duration.

Abstract

Smoking habits have been shown to impact omega-3 food intake, and cigarette smoke can increase lipid peroxidation through the induction of oxidative stress.  Omega-3, an essential fatty acid, can be obtained through the consumption of fish, milk, eggs, and supplements. This cross-sectional research aimed to assess the relationship between omega-3 food intake and smoking habits. The research was conducted from March to June 2022 in Rungkut District, Surabaya, Indonesia. Data collected included the respondents’ quantities and frequency of consuming foods containing omega-3, namely fish, milk, and eggs. Additionally, the level of nicotine dependence among smokers was evaluated using the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). The method for data analysis was the chi-square test. The total respondents in this study were 116 people, consisting of 41 smokers and 75 non-smokers. No significant differences were observed in the consumption patterns of omega-3-rich foods, including eggs, fish, and milk, between smokers and non-smokers (p > 0.01 for each food item). However, a significant difference was observed in the consumption of supplements containing omega-3 between the smoker and non-smoker groups (p < 0.005). However, the overall omega-3 intake did not exhibit a significant difference between smokers and non-smokers. Notably, a higher proportion of respondents who smoked reported consuming omega-3 supplements compared to the non-smoker group. Consequently, there is a need to conduct further research to identify the underlying factors that influence the habit of smokers toward consuming omega-3.

Abstract

High disaster risk in Indonesia necessitates the development of emergency food products (EFP). One potential EFP is cookies made from foxtail millet and snakehead fish. This study aimed to examine the sensory, chemical, and physical properties of EFP cookies with different formulations. This research used a completely randomized design. Variations in the composition of wheat flour, foxtail millet flour, and snakehead fish flour were P0(100:0:0), P1(8:76:16), P2(8:66:26), and P3(8:56:36). All treatments were analyzed for organoleptic quality using hedonic tests and proximate analysis, water activity analysis using an aw meter, and physical quality analysis using tensile strength. The Zeleny method was applied to identify the most optimal treatment, revealing that P1 emerged as the best formulation. P1 has the color, aroma, and taste that the panelists like, while maintaining a neutral rating in texture. P1 contains 241.51 kcal/50 grams of energy, 10.97% protein, 41.16% fat, 47.86% carbohydrates, 1.93% ash content, 4.93% water content, 0.55 water activity, and 17.16 N breaking strength. These results are in accordance with EFP and SNI 2973:2011 standards. The recommended daily consumption is 18 pieces (each piece weighing 25 grams) if not accompanied by any other food, or only 4-5 pieces if consumed as a snack.

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has been increasing. This study aimed to develop Food for Special Dietary Use (FSDU) for individuals with diabetes. Different combinations of food ingredients were added to the basic formula, consisting of brown rice and mushroom flour in a ratio of 70% and 11%. The combinations used in the formulation were F1 = 9% moringa and fish flour, F2 = 10% carrot and fish flour, F3 = 11% moringa and tempeh flour, and F4 = 12% tempeh flour. The results showed that the FSDU contained energy, fat, and fiber ranging from 391.33–404.33 Kcal, 5.53–7.75 g, and 4.22–7.60 g per 100 g product, respectively. These values were slightly higher than the respective value of a commercial product. The panelists expressed positive acceptance of the developed FSDU products, with F2 chosen as the most preferred. The developed FSDU exhibited lower scores for feeling of hunger, desire to eat, and prospective food consumption compared to the commercial product. The product provided a feeling of fullness similar to the commercial counterpart. In conclusion, the FSDU based on brown rice and oyster mushroom with an additional 10% carrot fish flour would be the most preferred option for further use as FSDU for diabetics.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant health problem that can affect the growth and development of toddlers. It is measured according to WHO standards using the height-per-age index, with a score below -2 SD indicating stunting. Supplementary feeding is one of the factors influencing stunting in toddlers, and it can be influenced by birth interval and mother’s education level, which in turn influence changes in the child’s nutritional status. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between birth interval and maternal education level with the rate of supplementary feeding in stunted toddlers aged 24-59 months in Cumedak Village, Jember Regency. An observational analytic method with a cross-sectional study design was used, involving 54 respondents of stunting toddlers aged 24-59 months. Data were collected through interviews and a 2x24-hour food recall method. The results show that the supplementary feeding practices were categorized as less (53.7%). A Chi-square statistical test revealed no significant relationship between birth interval and supplementary feeding rate (p = 0.715, p > 0.05), but there was a significant relationship between the mother’s education level and supplementary feeding rate (p = 0.002, p < 0.05). In conclusion, there is no relationship between birth interval and the quality of supplementary feeding, but there is a significant relationship between maternal education level and the quality of supplementary feeding.

Abstract

Obesity plays a significant role in estrogen production, which can lead to menstrual cycle disorders. This study aimed to determine differences in estrogen levels and menstrual cycles between obese and normal-weight female students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas. This study used the comparative cross-sectional design involving 32 obese respondents and 32 respondents with normal-weight status, selected through a systematic random sampling method. The study was conducted from November 2021 to July 2022. Estrogen levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immune assay (ELISA) method, and the menstrual cycle data were collected via interview. Statistical analysis was performed using an unpaired t-test and a Chi-square test. The results showed no significant difference in estrogen levels between the obese group (188.31±47.56 pg/mL) and the normal-weight group (181.76±51.06 pg/mL) (p > 0.05). However, abnormal menstrual cycles were more common in the obese group (29.7%) compared to the normal group (9.4%), with a p-value of 0.002. In conclusion, there are no differences in estrogen levels between the normal nutrition and obese groups; however, the menstrual cycles of these groups are different.
