2024-12-02T11:54:16+07:00

Indonesia is in 65th place out of 130 countries, and the average quality of Indonesian human resources is still relatively low. Improving the quality of human resources can be done by optimizing the learning process of children and teenagers during school, where the factor that can increase the success of this process is having good learning concentration. The research aimed to determine factors related to female students' learning concentration at SMA Negeri 2 Limboto, Gorontalo Regency in 2023. This type of research was an analytical and observational study with a cross-sectional design. The population was female teenagers totaling 523 with a sample size of 235 female students. This research was conducted on May - November 2023 at SMA Negeri 2 Limboto, Gorontalo Regency. The instruments used were questionnaires and measuring instruments in the form of microtoices, digital Hb meters, digital scales, and the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), then analyzed using the chi-square test and presented in table form. Based on the results of the analysis, the chi-square test showed that there was a relationship between breakfast habits (p=0.002) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels (p=0.014) on study concentration, while nutritional status (BMI) (p=0.146) and MUAC (p=0.30) are not factors related to female students' study concentration at SMA N 2 Limboto in 2023. Female students are expected to be able to routinely measure their weight, height, and mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) at least once a month.

2024-11-13T08:52:38+07:00

Wasting is still a widespread nutritional problem. Wasting refers to a state of acute malnutrition resulting from body weight that is disproportionate to body size or height. The cause of wasting is acute hunger due to lack of nutrition through feeding patterns. The aim of this research is to understand the relationship between feeding patterns and the incidence of wasting in toddlers aged 12-59 months in Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi. The research was carried out from July to August 2023 in the working areas of the Toili I Health Center and the Sinorang Health Center. The method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. Samples were taken using purposive sampling with the number of subjects being 172 toddlers who had experienced wasting. Data were collected using the Child Feeding Questionnaire and anthropometric measurements (BB, TB/PB, and LiLA). The chi-square test was used in data analysis. The research results showed that 25% of toddlers experienced wasting and most mothers (62.2%) had appropriate feeding patterns. In terms of types of food, 59.3% of mothers rarely provide food sources of vitamins, and in terms of meal schedules, 62.7% of mothers rarely provide snacks and 73.8% of mothers rarely provide fruit and vegetables. This research concludes that there is a relationship between feeding patterns and the incidence of wasting in toddlers aged 12-59 months in Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi. In subjects experiencing wasting, there were more inappropriate feeding patterns found at 33.8%. On the other hand, subjects who did not experience wasting were more likely to get the right feeding pattern by 80.4%. So it is hoped that mothers can improve various skills and knowledge that focus on responsive feeding eating.

2025-01-13T16:39:12+07:00

Diabetes mellitus has a significant impact on health and, in the long term, can lead to complications. Women are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to men. For women of reproductive age, diabetes mellitus can affect reproductive health and pregnancy quality, which may influence the next generation. The study aimed to determine risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in women of reproductive age at Bekasi City. This was matched case control study, involving 72 subjects selected by purposive sampling. The study was conducted at community health centre in Bekasi. Results: There were no significant differences in nutritional status (p=0.083) and age at menarche (p=0.234) of women of reproductive age with T2DM and non-T2DM. Long menstrual cycles increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus by 6.2 times higher than normal menstrual cycles (p=0.005). A history of gestational diabetes in women of reproductive age increases the risk 2.2 times higher for women of reproductive age to experience T2DM in the future (p=0.027). Long menstrual cycles and gestational diabetes are important factors contributing to the increased risk of T2DM in women of reproductive age.

Determinant factors of obesogenic conditions and eating behavior of Jakarta urban adolescents (socio-ecological approach)

2024-11-16T08:38:59+07:00

Indonesia is classified as having a high risk of obesity in school-age children and adolescents who are predicted to become obese by 2030. This study aimed to identify the determinant factors of obesogenic conditions and eating behavior of urban Jakarta adolescents using a socio-ecological approach. This research was carried out using descriptive-analytical methods in the urban area of Jakarta. The population in this study was teenagers aged 15 – 19 years. The research results showed that 36.45% were male, and 63.55% were female. Subjects aged 15-17 years were 85.98% and 18-19 years old were 14.02%. As many as 66.34% of subjects had good nutritional status, and 33.64% had more nutritional status. Obesogenic conditions in the form of 24-hour recall results and SQ-FFQ results where energy intake is mostly less by 49.53%, protein intake is mostly more by 55.14%, fat intake is mostly less by 53.74%, and carbohydrate intake was mostly less with 64.02%. As for eating behavior, it was found that aspects of nutritional knowledge were mostly poor at 54.7%, nutritional attitudes were mostly positive at 50.5%, adolescent eating practices were mostly positive at 56.1%, and food availability was mostly good at 51.9%. The conclusion from this research is that the majority of subjects have good nutritional status, their eating patterns and food consumption are still unhealthy. Lack of energy and carbohydrates, as well as high protein consumption, reflect an unbalanced diet influenced by an obesogenic environment. Low nutritional knowledge is an important factor that needs to be corrected to improve adolescent eating patterns. This research shows that to overcome obesity among adolescents, interventions are needed that include nutritional education, access to healthy food, and changes in the obesogenic environment at school and home.

Product acceptance test based on formulation and sensory test of liquid organic MSG BAHARAT

2024-11-06T09:33:24+07:00

Organik MSG needs to be developed because now many foods found in supermarkets, restaurants, and school cafeterias use MSG additives which can have negative consequences for public health. The purpose of this article is to determine the public's acceptance of liquid organic MSG based on tempe and pineapple. The method used is the product acceptance test by the 50 panelists through experiencing the product directly with 3 kinds of formulations. The results of the product acceptance test are complemented by the results of the sensory test and hedonic test from the BPSMB laboratory. The data obtained were processed using the Krusskal Wallys test and the Mann-Whitney follow-up test. The results of all tests showed that the level of preference for the color, aroma, taste, and texture of liquid organic MSG (BAHARAT) with the substitution of hydrolyzate tempe and pineapple extract was not significantly different (P> 0,05) in F1 and F2. However, there was a significant difference (P<0,05) in F1 with F3 and F2 with F3 in the level of preference for color, aroma, taste, and texture of liquid organic MSG with the substitution of tempe hydrolyzate and pineapple extract. The best liquid organic MSG (BAHARAT) product formula is at F2 or with product code 758 or the composition of tempe hydrolyzate with pineapple extract is 1:2 based on differentiation and hedonic tests.

Comparative analysis antioxidant activity of virgin coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil on malondialdehyde levels in hyperglycemic obese white rats

2025-01-20T10:24:14+07:00

Obesity is specification by extreme accumulation of body fat, which can make to oxidative stress due to an disproportion among free radicals and antioxidants. Conditions associated with obesity, such as hyperglycemia, are significant markers for diabetes mellitus. The increase prevalence of obesity and diabetes in Indonesia underscores the need for effective management strategies such as administering compounds that have antioxidant properties to protect body cells against oxidative damage. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) in reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in hyperglycemic obese white mice. Both VCO and EVOO contain antioxidants, including phenolics and α-tocopherol. Notably, EVOO is rich in hydroxytyrosol, a potent antioxidant compound, and has a total phenolic content ranging from 42.35 to 190.98 mg GAE (gallic acid equivalent), while VCO contains only 1.16 to 12.54 mg GAE. This true experimental study involved three groups of hyperglycemic obese rats: a negative control, VCO, and EVOO, with interventions lasting 14 days. MDA levels were measured on days 0, 7, and 14. Results indicated that both oils effectively reduced MDA levels, with EVOO demonstrating a more significant reduction of 0.43 μmol/l compared to VCO's reduction of 0.16 μmol/l, highlighting EVOO's superior efficacy to reduced oxidative stress.

Literature review: the role of vitamin D supplementation in immune modulation in HIV-1 patients

2024-11-19T09:46:27+07:00

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that attacks immune cells such as CD4+ cells and macrophages, causing a decline in the immune system that can develop into Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The purpose of this study was to review the role and mechanism of vitamin D supplementation in immune modulation in adults with HIV-1. This study used the literature review method and PICOS to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on immune modulation in adult HIV-1 patients. Data were collected from PubMed, Elsevier, and Google Scholar databases for the period 2014-2024, using the related search terms “Vitamin D supplementation” or “Cholecalciferol” and “Immune Modulation” or “Immune System” or “Immune” and “Adult” and “HIV-1” and “RCT” or “Randomized Controlled Trial”. Vitamin D supplementation has a positive impact and role in immune modulation, including increased CD4+ T cell counts and markers of immune response. Six relevant articles that met the inclusion criteria were identified and analyzed. Although vitamin D supplementation increases blood levels of vitamin D and aids immune modification, its effect on viral load has not been confirmed. The common dose of vitamin D used in studies ranged from 7.000 IU for 12 months or 12 weeks. Vitamin D supplementation shows potential as an adjunctive therapy for HIV-1, but further trials with larger populations are needed to confirm the optimal dose and long-term effects.
