Abstract

Background: Glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Evaluating these factors is essential to achieve optimal glycemic control. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the determinants of glycemic control among patients with T2DM in the Karangmalang Primary Health Care area. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 51 participants selected using purposive sampling. Data on participant characteristics and nutritional status were collected through questionnaires. Dietary adherence was assessed using the Perceived Dietary Adherence Questionnaire (PDAQ), while stress levels were measured using the Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (DDS-17). Glycemic control data were obtained from fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurements recorded over the previous three months in medical records. Data were analyzed using Pearson and Spearman correlation tests, followed by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Glycemic control was significantly associated with age (p<0.001), education (p=0.007), income (p=0.016), duration of diabetes (p<0.001), family history of diabetes (p=0.016), medication adherence (p=0.016), nutritional status (p=0.004), dietary adherence (p=0.016), and stress level (p=0.016). Gender was not significantly associated with glycemic control (p=0.378). Multivariate analysis identified income, family history of diabetes, and medication adherence as the factors most strongly associated with glycemic control. Conclusion: Glycemic control among patients with T2DM was associated with age, education, income, duration of diabetes, family history of diabetes, medication adherence, nutritional status, dietary adherence, and stress level. Income, family history of diabetes, and medication adherence were the strongest determinants of glycemic control.

Abstract

Background: Anemia caused by iron deficiency is a common medical condition experienced by adolescent girls. Providing high-protein and iron-rich foods, such as chicken liver nuggets and red spinach, can serve as an alternative snack for individuals with anemia, given in a portion of 120 grams per day. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of administering chicken liver nuggets and red spinach on the increase in hemoglobin levels in anemic adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 19 Palembang. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a two-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 50 anemic adolescent girls, divided into two groups. The treatment group received chicken liver and red spinach nuggets, while the control group received commercial chicken nuggets, through simple random sampling. The intervention was conducted over 10 days. Data analysis was performed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests to assess significant differences between groups. Results: The mean hemoglobin level in the treatment group before the intervention was 10.98 g/dL, which increased to 12.99 g/dL after the intervention, with an increase of 2 g/dL. Based on the independent t-test, there was a significant difference in the mean hemoglobin level between the treatment and control groups, amounting to 1.23 g/dL and a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Conclusion: The administration of chicken liver nuggets and red spinach significantly increases hemoglobin levels in anemic adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 19 Palembang.

Abstract

Background: Knowledge and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels are important factors in the prevention of metabolic diseases, particularly prediabetes. Adolescents, as a vulnerable age group, often pay limited attention to nutritional information on food packaging, thereby increasing the risk of unhealthy dietary behaviors. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels and the incidence of prediabetes among adolescents aged 16–18 years. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 62 adolescents aged 16–18 years in Weleri, selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments included questionnaires assessing knowledge of nutrition facts labels and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels, as well as random blood glucose testing to determine prediabetes status. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The findings showed that most respondents had poor knowledge of nutrition facts labels (54.8%) and poor attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels (56.5%). The prevalence of prediabetes among adolescents in this study was 53.2%. There was a significant association between knowledge level (OR = 0.047; 95% CI = 0.013–0.172; p = 0.000) and attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels (OR = 0.021; 95% CI = 0.005–0.096; p = 0.000) and the incidence of prediabetes among adolescents. Conclusion: The Chi-square test results demonstrated a significant relationship between knowledge of nutrition facts labels and the incidence of prediabetes (p = 0.000), as well as between attitudes toward reading nutrition facts labels and the incidence of prediabetes (p = 0.000).

Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a significant public health problem, particularly among adolescent girls in Indonesia. This condition is characterized by low hemoglobin levels in the blood, which can impair concentration, reduce productivity, and negatively affect reproductive health. One strategy to address this problem is through interventions using locally available food sources, such as pais formulated from chicken liver flour (a source of heme iron) and mung bean flour (a source of non-heme iron). To enhance iron absorption, the intervention was fortified with vitamin C derived from orange topping. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of Pikhaya consumption on improving hemoglobin levels among anemic female students at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Palembang. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. A total of 50 tenth-grade students were selected as participants and assigned into two groups: the intervention group (provided with an 80 g pai per day for 10 consecutive days, accompanied by nutrition education) and the comparison group (received nutrition education only). Results: The mean hemoglobin level in the intervention group increased from 9.57 g/dL (pre-intervention) to 10.76 g/dL (post-intervention), with a mean difference of 1.19 g/dL. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the intervention and comparison groups (p-value = 0.000; α < 0.05). Conclusion: The administration of pikhaya has been proven effective in increasing hemoglobin levels among anemic adolescent girls at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Palembang.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women remains a nutritional problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 16.9% in 2023. In South Sumatra Province, the prevalence of CED among pregnant women was reported at 4.2% in 2022. CED increases the risk of various maternal and fetal complications, highlighting the need for effective nutritional interventions. Cornfish nuggets, made from snakehead fish and corn, are a local food-based supplementary product rich in energy and protein that may improve nutrient intake, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and body weight among pregnant women with CED. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Cornfish nugget supplementation on nutrient intake, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and body weight among pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED). Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted among 56 pregnant women with CED, who were assigned to either an intervention group or a control group (n=28 each). The intervention group received 200 g/day of Cornfish nuggets for 14 days. Nutrient intake, MUAC, and body weight were measured before and after the intervention and analyzed using a paired t-test and an independent t-test. Results: Cornfish nugget supplementation for 14 days significantly increased nutrient intake (p<0.05). Improvements in MUAC and body weight were observed in the intervention group following the intervention. Weight gain was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (0.48 kg vs 0.21 kg; p<0.05), whereas the increase in MUAC did not differ significantly between groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Cornfish nuggets were effective in improving nutrient intake and body weight among pregnant women with CED; however, they did not demonstrate a significant effect on increasing MUAC during the 14-day intervention period.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a serious health problem with an increasing number of cases. This increase in prevalence necessitates prevention and control efforts to help stabilize blood glucose levels. Rome Beauty apples are known to contain antidiabetic compounds, such as pectin fiber, flavonoids, and vitamin C, which play a role in increasing insulin sensitivity and regulating blood glucose levels. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of Rome Beauty apple juice on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the working area of the Karang Asam Samarinda Community Health Center. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The intervention consisted of 150 grams of apple juice blended with water to make 250 mL, administered once a day for seven days. A sample of 18 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Primary data included fasting blood glucose levels measured three times: before the intervention (pretest on day 0), after 3 days of intervention (control on day 4), and after 7 days of intervention (posttest on day 8), as well as a respondent characteristics questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software with the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results showed that the mean fasting blood glucose (FBG) level before the intervention was 170.89 ± 61.82 mg/dL and decreased to 150.72 ± 41.21 mg/dL after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test produced a p-value of 0.021 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of Rome Beauty apple juice consumption on fasting blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: The seven-day Rome Beauty apple juice intervention had a significant effect on fasting blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of severely underweight and underweight nutritional status among adolescent girls aged 16–18 years in Indonesia increased between 2018 and 2023. The prevalence of severely underweight nutritional status increased by 1.4 times, while the prevalence of underweight nutritional status increased by 1.16 times compared to the previous year. If left unaddressed, these nutritional issues can lead to further nutritional problems, such as Chronic Energy Deficiency. One factor that may influence this condition is the body image perception of these late-adolescent girls themselves. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between body image perception and nutritional status in late-adolescent girls. Method: This is a quantitative cross-sectional study using random sampling. The sample size consisted of 67 respondents aged 15–19 years. The data collected included height, weight, and body image perception. The Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05 was used to determine the relationship. Results: A total of 74.6% of respondents had normal nutritional status, and 65.7% had moderate body image perception. The Chi-Square test yielded a p-value of 0.011. This indicates a significant relationship between body image perception and the nutritional status of adolescent girls. Conclusion: There is a relationship between body image perception and the nutritional status of adolescent girls.
