Background: Pencak silat is a traditional martial art from Indonesia that requires sufficient energy to avoid nutritional problems. Malnutrition can reduce endurance, which can be caused by a lack of knowledge about nutrition.Objective: Knowing the relationship between nutritional knowledge and nutritional status in martial arts athletes.Methods: Cross sectional design, the sample was 66 martial arts athletes with total sampling technique. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Bawang, Tapak Suci Wanadadi hermitage and SMP Negeri 3 Banjarnegara, in May -September 2024. The research instrument used a questionnaire to assess nutritional knowledge by providing 30 questions and assessing nutritional status using the Body Mass Index (BMI). Statistical analysis using Chi-square test at α ≤ 0,05.Results: Nutrition knowledge in the domain of nutrient composition was partial at 53,0%, knowledge in the domain of nutrient-rich foods was also lacking at 51,5%. However, knowledge in the domain of the impact of nutritional deficiencies on athletes was good at 80,3%. Nutritional status is mostly normal 63,6%. There is no relationship between nutritional knowledge and nutritional status in martial arts athletes (p = 0,205).Conclusion: There is still low knowledge of athlete nutrition in the domain of nutrient composition and nutrient-rich foods that can have an impact on the nutritional status of athletes
The effect of soybean tempeh and gembus tempeh on obesity parameters, blood glucose, and short-chain fatty acids
Obesity contributes to hyperglycemia and metabolic dysfunction globally. Soybean and gembus tempeh, traditional Indonesian fermented foods, contain distinct dietary fiber compositions that may differentially influence metabolic outcomes through short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. However, comparative evidence regarding their metabolic effects is limited. This study aimed to compare the effects of soybean and gembus tempeh on obesity parameters, fasting blood glucose, and SCFA profiles in a rat model of hyperglycemic obesity. Methods: A randomized controlled pre–post trial was conducted at the Food and Nutrition Study Center, Universitas Gadjah Mada (April–June 2019). Forty-two rats were assigned to seven groups: normal, hyperglycemic-obese + AIN-93, AIN-93 + gembus tempeh, AIN-93 + soybean tempeh, high-fat high-fructose diet (HFFD), HFFD + gembus tempeh, and HFFD + soybean tempeh. The obesity index, fasting blood glucose, and SCFA concentrations were measured. Both types of tempeh significantly reduced the obesity index and fasting glucose levels in rats fed either the AIN-93 or HFFD diet, with greater reductions observed in the AIN-93 group (p < 0.001). Butyrate levels were significantly higher in the tempeh-supplemented groups than in the control group (p < 0.01), whereas propionate levels did not differ significantly (p = 0.079). In conclusion, soybean tempeh and gembus tempeh improved fasting glucose levels, obesity index, and SCFA production in hyperglycemic-obese rats. Gembus tempeh demonstrated a greater effect on reducing obesity index and fasting blood glucose than soybean tempeh
The relationship of parity, education and maternal knowledge with complementary feeding at the Jeulingke Primary Health Center, Banda Aceh
Inappropriate complementary feeding negatively affects children under two years. Parity, education, and maternal knowledge were associated with inappropriate complementary feeding. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parity, education, and maternal knowledge of complementary feeding at the Jeulingke Primary Health Center in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This analytical, observational study used a cross-sectional design. Data will be collected from September to October 2024 through interviews using questionnaires and 1 × 24-hour food recalls. This study included 76 mothers selected using consecutive sampling at seven integrated health service points in the Jeulingke Primary Health Center area. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s test with a 90% confidence interval and an alpha level of 0.1. The study showed that 65.8% of the mothers provided appropriate complementary feeding practices. Parity was not significantly associated with complementary feeding (p = 0.194; r = -0.151). Maternal education (p = 0.049; r = 0.227) and knowledge (p = 0.028; r = 0.253) had weak relationships with complementary feeding practices. In conclusion, to implement appropriate complementary feeding, the education and knowledge of mothers as primary providers of complementary feeding at the Jeulingke Primary Health Center in Banda Aceh must be improved
Analisis kadar protein dan uji hedonik pada cookies berbasis tepung singkong dan tepung kacang hijau sebagai alternatif pmt untuk stunting
Background: Malnutrition in infants and children, especially those under five years old, can hinder physical and mental growth. The Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) reported that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia in 2024 is 19,8%. Protein plays a role in the regeneration of damaged cells as well as the formation of important enzymes and hormones in the body. Cookies are a popular snack among the public, thus chosen as a medium for innovative nutritional intake for children in the form of Supplementary Feeding.Objectives: This study is to determine the most preferred cookie formulation with the highest protein content, which could serve as an alternative supplementary food to help prevent stunting in children.Methods: This research employed an experimental design using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to examine differences among cookie formulations and identify the best one. Four formulations are tested: 100% wheat flour (control), 75% cassava flour and 25% mung bean flour, 50% cassava flour and 50% mung bean flour, and 25% cassava flour and 75% mung bean flour. Organoleptic tests assessed appearance, aroma, color, taste, texture, and overall acceptability using a 5-point hedonic scale. The sensory evaluation involved 30 children as panelists. Protein content was analyzed using the Kjeldahl method at the Food Quality Analysis Laboratory of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Excel to identify significant differences among formulations.Results: Among the four formulations tested (F1, F2, F3, and F4), it was found that the highest protein content was in F3 (11,62%) with a cassava flour to mung bean flour ratio of 50:50, while in the hedonic evaluation, Formula 3 received the highest average score for the taste attribute (4.46) and was the most preferred after the control (F1) in the overall attribute (4,40).Conclusion: The best formulation was F3, with a protein content of 11,62%, the highest among all samples. Although F3 ranked second in the acceptance test, after the control (F1), it holds strong potential as an alternative locally based supplementary food (PMT) due to its nutritional value
Efektivitas telehealth nutrition counseling yang dipimpin perawat untuk pasien hemodialisis: Tinjauan sistematis
Background: Hemodialysis is the main renal replacement therapy for end-stage chronic kidney disease, yet global dietary compliance among patients remains low (30–70%), including in Indonesia. Limited nutritional knowledge, entrenched eating habits, and inadequate access to counseling contribute to this problem. Nurse-led telehealth nutrition interventions supported by digital platforms have emerged as innovative strategies to enhance patient education and adherence.Objective: To review current evidence on the effectiveness of nurse-led, telehealth-based nutritional interventions in improving dietary compliance among hemodialysis patients.Methods: A systematic narrative review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches in Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar identified studies published between 2015 and 2025 using the keywords telehealth, nutrition counseling, and hemodialysis. Twelve out of ninety-five studies met the inclusion criteria: original research involving adult hemodialysis patients receiving nurse- or healthcare worker–delivered telehealth nutrition counseling. Data were synthesized narratively, and risk of bias was evaluated descriptively based on study design and reporting quality.Results: Most studies demonstrated significant improvements in nutritional knowledge, dietary compliance, and self-management (9/12 studies, p < 0.05). Effects on clinical outcomes such as hemoglobin, serum phosphate, and interdialytic weight were inconsistent, influenced by intervention duration, study design, and methodological quality. Telehealth approaches were feasible, acceptable, and beneficial in contexts with limited in-person care.Conclusion: Nurse-led telehealth nutritional interventions effectively improve dietary compliance and patient self-management in hemodialysis populations. Integration into primary and hospital-based care may strengthen continuity of care
Efek ekstrak etanol biji adas (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) pada berbagai dosis terhadap produksi susu tikus laktasi dan pertambahan berat anak tikus
Background: Breastfeeding is highly recommended to support infant growth and development. However, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain at 55,5%. One contributing factor is low milk production. Fennel seeds are one ingredient thought to increase milk production.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the phytochemical content and effects of ethanol extract of fennel seeds on milk production and pup weight gain.Methods: This animal study was conducted from March to September 2019. Animal maintenance was carried out at Biopharmaceutical Study Center, Bogor. A total of 24 lactating rats were grouped into four treatments (EA1:88,75 mg/kg, EA2:177,50 mg/kg, EA3:355,00 mg/kg, and N:control). The interventions were administered from day 3 to 21 of lactation. Data included phytochemical, milk production, and pup weight gain. The milk production was calculated indirectly based on the pup weight gain. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at α=0.05.Results: Extract of fennel seed contains flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, and steroids. Milk production up to day 15 of lactation in N, EA1, EA2, and EA3 was 1,65 g/day, 2,67 g/day, 2,34 g/day, and 1,95 g/day, respectively. Up to day 15, there was a significant difference in milk production in EA1 compared to the control (p=0,047). However, milk production up to day 21 of lactation showed no significant difference (p=0,055). Pup weight gain was also not significantly different (p>0,05).Conclusion: Administration of EA1 significantly increased milk production up to day 15 compared to the control, but milk production up to day 21 and the pup weight gain showed no significant results
Peningkatan nilai tambah ulat sagu dan mujair asap melalui inovasi pengolahan higienis dan pemberdayaan masyarakat di Kampung Yoboi, Papua
Yoboi Village, Sentani, Papua, has the potential for local food resources, including sago caterpillars and tilapia. These commodities are important sources of animal protein and play a strategic role in supporting food security among Papuan communities; however, their utilization has been limited to household consumption, often using simple techniques without adherence to hygiene standards, packaging, or labeling. This community service program aimed to improve community capacity in hygienic processing, vacuum packaging, labeling, and marketing of smoked sago caterpillars and tilapia products. The method applied was a community-based participatory action research approach, covering needs assessment, module development, structured training, hands-on practice, and rapid reflection. A total of 60 participants were involved, representing fishermen, sago caterpillar collectors, homemakers, and youth. Evaluation was conducted through observation, station checklists, and pre- and post–knowledge tests. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, with the proportion of participants having high knowledge rising from 11,6% to 71,7% after the training (p = 0,023). Sample products of smoked sago caterpillars and smoked tilapia were successfully produced with vacuum packaging and minimal labeling, showing more consistent quality and longer shelf life. Participants also agreed to establish a community group/MSME and initiate early marketing strategies, both online and offline. This program, as a participatory training, strengthened both the community’s technical skills and institutional readiness
Association between nutrition intervention program indicators and stunting prevalence among toddlers in Indonesia
The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains high, reaching 21,6% by 2022. The government has established a stunting reduction strategy using 11 specific nutrition intervention indicators and one sensitive nutrition intervention indicator. However, the implementation of these programmes is suboptimal. This study aimed to identify the nutritional factors that influence the reduction in stunting and evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition intervention programs on the prevalence of stunting. The study utilized a cross-sectional design with Spearman correlation analysis to examine the relationship between intervention indicators and stunting prevalence, and linear regression analysis to assess their impact. The results showed significant indicators (p < 0,05) included antenatal care performed six times (r= -0,666), iron tablet supplementation for pregnant women (r= -0,362), exclusive breastfeeding (r= -0,501), growth monitoring of toddlers (r= -0,386), treatment of malnourished children (r= -0,503), complete basic immunizations (r= -0,404), adolescent health screenings (r= -0,394), adolescent iron tablet supplementation (r= -0,441), and open defecation-free villages (r= -0,448). In conclusion, increased program coverage correlated with a decrease in stunting prevalence, with antenatal care (ANC) interventions showing the strongest correlation
The role of stimulation, affection, and parenting patterns in stunting among children aged 24-59 months
Stunting remains a chronic nutritional issue in Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting has decreased from 30,8% in 2018 to 21,5% in 2023; this rate is still above the WHO threshold of less than 20%. Proper stimulation, affection, and parenting patterns influenced optimal growth in terms of height and weight. This study aimed to analyze the association between stimulation, affection, and parenting practices in stunting among children aged 24–59 months. This case-control study was conducted from March to April 2024 at the Made Health Center, Surabaya City, which consists of 50 toddlers, both stunting and non-stunting, selected using purposive sampling. Stimulation patterns were measured using the Home Observation of Measurement and Environment Inventory (HOME), affection patterns using the Child Adult Relational Experimental (CARE), parenting patterns using the parenting feeding style questionnaire, and nutritional status using anthropometric measurements. Data analysis was performed using the chi-squared test. The results showed that the stimulation patterns were significantly correlated with stunting (p=0,000; OR= 5,90). Affection patterns were also significantly correlated with stunting (P =0,000; OR=13,75). Parenting patterns were significantly correlated with stunting (P =0,000; OR=26,35). In conclusion, stimulation, affection, and parenting patterns were significantly correlated with stunting among children aged 24-59 months
