Abstract

Stunting and anemia are prevalent nutritional problems that often concurrently occur in young children, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. The coexistence of these conditions can have long-lasting adverse effect on a child’s health, cognitive development, and future productivity. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of concurrent anemia and stunting in children aged 6–36 months in Semarang City. A cross-sectional study design was employed from June to September 2024, involving 100 stunted children selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews using questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, hemoglobin testing, and observations of caregiving practices. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with the occurrence of concurrent anemia and stunting. Several factors were found to be significantly associated with concurrent anemia and stunting, including birth length <48 cm (OR = 6.190; p = 0.027), incomplete immunization history (OR = 16.024; p = 0.035), preterm birth (OR = 6.539; p = 0.015), poor maternal attitudes toward feeding practices (OR = 33.459; p = 0.018), and inappropriate complementary feeding practices (OR = 7.889; p = 0.007). A paternal history of smoking also showed a tendency to be a risk factor (p = 0.080). The co-occurrence of anemia and stunting is a complex issue influenced by a multitude of factors, including biological, behavioral, and household or environmental determinants. To effectively address this issue, integrated interventions should be implemented, focusing on enhancing immunization coverage, providing targeted nutrition education, strengthening antenatal care, and promoting positive caregiving practices.

Abstract

Tea consumption in Indonesia is associated with calming effects. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to quantitatively evaluate the relaxation potential of different tea samples by analyzing the induced alterations in facial expressions. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a moderate-to-strong positive association between total phenolic content and positive mood (r = 0.686, p < 0.01). Moreover, sex significantly affected most facial landmark measurements (p < 0.05), except for lip length, indicating distinct male and female facial geometry changes in response to tea consumption. Oolong tea elicited the strongest relaxation response, followed by green tea, with high-altitude Bali teas outperforming those from Banten (p < 0.05). Tea producers can leverage these findings to develop targeted relaxation beverages by selecting specific tea types and plantation elevation. Methodologically, total phenolic compounds were measured using the Folin–Ciocalteu assay. Sensory evaluation employed Sensomaker software to track emotional dynamics and dominant flavor sensations via Rate-All-That-Apply descriptors and a 15-point stress scale. An AI-powered tool was used for Facial Emotion Recognition and Landmark Detection to quantify subtle expression changes.

Abstract

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing globally due to various factors that influence the progression of this syndrome. Identifying the factors that influence the development of metabolic syndrome is important, especially among working populations. This study aimed to explore the association between job-related stress and metabolic syndrome in mining workers, with emotional eating and mood disorders as mediating factors. An observational analytic method with a cross-sectional study design was employed. The research subjects were 131 workers from a mining contractor company in East Kalimantan, who were chosen after the research objectives were explained and their informed consent was obtained. The independent variable examined was work stress, and the dependent variable was metabolic syndrome. Emotional eating and mood disturbances were included as mediating variables in the analysis. Data were collected through measurements and questionnaire completion. The data were analyzed using path analysis techniques, and SPSS version 26 was used for statistical processing. The results showed that there was no relationship between work stress and metabolic syndrome mediated by emotional eating and mood disturbances. However, a relationship was found between work stress and the mediator variables of emotional eating and mood disturbances.

Abstract

Atherosclerosis is predominantly an inflammatory process that is the key pathophysiological cause of ischemic coronary heart disease (CHD). Some studies suggest that sorghum can reduce atherosclerotic parameters through many biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-thrombotic properties. The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of an enteral sorghum tempeh formula on the levels of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in an atherosclerotic rat model. A total of 24 male rats were utilized, with the experiment structured into an 8-week atherogenic diet induction period, followed by a 4-week intervention phase. The rats were divided into four groups: a healthy control, an atherogenic control, and two treatment groups supplemented with the formula at 0.75g/200 g and 1.50g/200 g body weight (BW), respectively. IL-6 and PAI-1 levels were quantified using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The atherogenic diet successfully induced a significant elevation in both IL-6 and PAI-1 levels compared to the healthy control group (p=0.000), indicating a heightened inflammatory and thrombotic state in the atherosclerotic group. Conversely, the groups receiving the sorghum tempeh-based formula exhibited a significant reduction in both IL-6 and PAI-1 levels compared to the atherogenic control group (p=0.000), suggesting potent anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic properties of the sorghum tempeh.

Abstract

Mung bean (Vigna radiata) is a widely consumed legume rich in high-quality protein. The development of enteral formulas using mung beans as a raw material represents a promising alternative nutritional approach for dementia patients with impaired oral intake. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different pre-treatment methods on the nutritional density, physical properties, and amino acid profile of mung bean–based enteral formulas. Three formulations were prepared: boiled mung bean blenderized formula (FA), steamed mung bean blenderized formula (FB), and powdered mung bean blenderized formula (FC). Proximate composition and viscosity were assessed in all formulas. The formula with the highest protein and most favorable proximate profile was further analyzed for amino acid composition and antioxidant activity. Pre-treatment significantly affected energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and water content (p <0.05) but not viscosity. The powdered mung bean formula exhibited the highest protein concentration, with glutamic acid (5340.93 µg/g) and isoleucine (3033.71 µg/g) being the most abundant amino acids. It also demonstrated antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 60,719.07 mg/L.This study provided that the powdered mung bean formula has potential to become an enteral formulation for dementia.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in densely populated provinces with a high rates of stunting cases, such as Central Java. The research aimed to investigate determinants of stunting among children under five in Central Java, utilizing the Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) 2022. The analyses included 65,323 children under five, applying a multistage cluster sampling design with complex-sample logistic regression. The strongest predictors of stunting were older child age (AOR=3.27; 95% CI: 2.36–4.53) and low birth weight (AOR=2.39; 95% CI: 2.02–2.84). Stunting occurred more frequently among children whose mothers had less education and from high parity, as well as those living in household with food insecurity. A consistent social gradient was observed, with children from the poorest households being more than twice as vulnerable to stunting as those from the wealthiest households (AOR=2.24; 95% CI: 1.87–2.68). Health care services gaps, including incomplete immunization, lack of Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) monitoring, and absence of deworming tablets, significantly increased stunting risks, as did a history of pneumonia. Rural dwelling of children increased the odds for stunting when compared to residing in urban areas (AOR=1.20; 95% CI: 1.09–1.32). These findings underscore the combined influence of biological, maternal, socioeconomic, health service-related, and urban-rural disparities underlying stunting in Central Java. To accelerate stunting reduction, it is important to prioritize the implementation of multisectoral actions for strengthening maternal education, and early childhood optimum nutrition, food security, and reducing rural-urban disparities in access to quality primary health care.

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension has continued to increase in recent years, highlighting the importance of dietary compliance among patients. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the dietary compliance of patients with hypertension. The study procedures were carried out using an observational analytical method with a cross-sectional design from April to October 2023 in the working area of the Kedaton Public Health Center in Bandar Lampung City. The sample population comprised 100 patients diagnosed with hypertension for at least the last 3 months who agreed to participate. The study variables were age, sex, knowledge, education, family income, attitude, motivation, self-efficacy, family support, food availability, psychological factors, health worker support, and diet compliance. Data were collected through interviews and validated questionnaires. Diet compliance was measured based on 2×24-hour food recall and compared with the standards (Recommended Daily Allowance). The data obtained were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression analyses. The results showed that only 19% of patients with hypertension were compliant with the diet. In addition, knowledge, level of education, family income, attitude, motivation, self-efficacy, family support, food availability, psychological factors, and health worker support influenced diet compliance in patients with hypertension (p<0.05). The most influential factors were education and family support. The results of this study show the importance of educational interventions and increasing the role of the family in supporting the successful diet management of hypertensive patients to maintain normal blood pressure and prevent complications.

Abstract

In Indonesia, stunting remains a public health problem, with a prevalence of > 20%. The objective of this study was to find the determinants of under five children stunting in family characteristics, maternal factors, birth history, and environmental factors. This case-control study was conducted on 1,093 children in ten villages with high stunting rates in Demak District based on stunting loci from the Ministry of Health. A total of 537 stunted children and 556 non-stunted children were found. Data were collected through structured interviews, maternal and child health cards, and anthropometric measurements of children using an infantometer, stadiometer, and digital weighing scales, conducted by trained personnel. The data were analyzed using Chi Square, and multiple logistic regression. Factors associated with stunting were: number of children (OR=1.441; CI 95%= 1.096-1.895), child food expenditure (OR=1.379; CI 95%= 1.087-1.750), Maternal height (OR=2.633; CI 95%=1.994-3.478), MUAC (p=0.04; OR=1.350; CI 95%=1.013–1.798), maternal knowledge (OR=1.630; CI 95%=1.262–2.105), complementary feeding (OR=1.387; OR 95%=1.087–1.771), Birth weight (OR=2.178; CI 95%=1.397–3.396). Birth length (1.638; CI 95%=1.263-2.125). Upper respiratory tract infection (OR=1.302; 95% CI=1.023 – 1.658). The main determinants of stunting were the number of children >2, low birth weight, low expenditure for child' food, upper respiratory tract infection, stunted mother and early complementary feeding.
