Full text linkBackground Probiotic banana milk is a product containing potassium from Ambon Banana developed to address gastrointestinal motility issues in surgical patients. However, two important parameters to be considered for surgical patients are viscosity and energy density.Objectives: To analyze the viscosity and energy density of probiotic banana milk and its potential as a nutritional intervention for surgical patients.Methods: This study employed an experimental design with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replications in laboratory test. The treatment in this study was to differentiate the proportion between Green Ambon Bananas (Musa acuminata colla) and starter before cooking, which was divided into 3 formulations. Viscosity measurement was assessed using a digital viscometer NDJ-5 (Vevor, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The energy density of probiotic banana milk was measured using the energy ratio formula [kcal] to weight (g). Energy density data were analyzed using ANOVA test.Results: The results showed that both the highest viscosity and density were in F3 (1630 m.pa.s with 0,35 kcal/g) and the lowest was in F1 (472 m.pa.s with 0,31 kcal/g). The ANOVA test showed a difference in energy density in the three formulations with a p-value of 0,003. The results of the post-hoc test showed that there was a difference between each formulation (F1 and F2; F1 and F3; F2 and F3).Conclusion: Sample F3 has the highest viscosity and energy density compared to F1 and F2, so it has the highest potential to be given to pre-and post-surgical patients to help speed up the recovery process

The effect of interactive nutrition education through Instagram on complementary feeding practices among infants 6-12 months
Full text linkGrowth disorders are also common in children. The Health Belief Model (HBM) predicts that maternal perception of child vulnerability to growth disorders motivates adequate feeding practices. Addressing these concerns can effectively drive intervention. This study examined the impact of nutrition education delivered via Instagram on complementary feeding (MPASI) practices in infants aged 6–12 months. This quasi-experimental study was conducted in Bogor City in the year 2024. The sample consisted of 76 breastfeeding mothers, selected using a randomized method. Participants were divided into two groups: the intervention group, which engaged in interactive Instagram discussions after receiving nutrition education (n= 38), and the control group (n= 38), which only received nutrition education. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires. Educational materials were provided twice a week for four weeks via Instagram. The data were analyzed using t-tests. Results: A significant difference (p < 0,05) was observed in the effect of nutrition education delivered via Instagram, both within each group and between groups, in terms of dietary diversity, feeding frequency, and adequacy. In conclusion, interactive education through Instagram has a more significant impact on improving scores in most components of the Health Belief Model (HBM) related to complementary feeding practices

Determinants of malnutrion in children aged 6-36 months
Full text linkStunting in children increases their risk of mortality, cognitive impairment, motor development, and poor body function. This study aimed to examine the relationship between low birth weight, low birth length, sex, age, and weight growth status and the prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting in children aged 6–36 months in West Lombok Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2023 and May 2024 with 544 children. Secondary data were obtained from two community health centers in the study area. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test and chi-square test. Results: Birth weight and length were significantly associated with nutritional status in children. Higher birth weight was positively correlated with a better weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ; p = 0,001), height-for-age Z-score (HAZ; p = 0,009), and weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ; p = 0,0001), indicating a strong influence on overall growth and nutritional outcomes. Similarly, a greater birth length was significantly associated with WAZ (p = 0,0001), HAZ (p = 0,002), and WHZ (p = 0,006). Age was also correlated with HAZ (p = 0,005) and incidence of stunting (p = 0,0001), suggesting an age-related cumulative effect on linear growth. Moreover, children with low birth weight had a significantly higher risk of stunting (p = 0,0007), whereas those with low birth length were more likely to be underweight (p = 0,050). In conclusion, LBW and LBL are significant risk factors for stunting, wasting, and underweight in children aged 6–36 months in West Lombok Regency
