The association between animal source food intake and growth among preschool children in Jakarta
Full text linkBackground: Animal-source foods (ASF) are a source of high-quality protein and bioavailable micronutrients such as iron and zinc, which are important for the growth of preschool children. However, despite high ASF intake, malnutrition in Jakarta is above the national prevalence. The types of ASF consumed may have contributed to this.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between ASF intake and height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ) among preschool children aged 4–6 years in Jakarta

Positive effects of probiotics against alzheimer’s disease: A scoping review
Full text linkAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease related to elderly with subtle onset and progressive impairment of behavior and cognitive functions that is projected to increase without medical breakthroughs. Recent medication effectiveness is limited, only symptomatic treatment is available, none are curative, and variably palliative. Studies suggest an association between gut health and Alzheimer's progression through the “microbiome-gut-brain axis”. A scoping review was conducted to further explore the positive effects of probiotics on AD, highlighting potential of enhancing cognitive function, mitigating inflammation, and improving lipid profiles

Full text linkThe yearly burden of stomach cancer is expected to rise to 1.8 million new cases and 1.3 million deaths by 2040. These indicate rises of almost 63% and 66%, respectively, from 2020. This case aim to describe medical nutrition therapy in patients with unresectable gastric cancer and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)
Association between consumption of ultra-processed foods and beverages with nutritional status of private senior high school students in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia
Full text linkBackground: Many low- and middle-income countries are now facing the “double burden” of malnutrition, one of them is overweight/obesity. Over 340 million children and adolescents were overweight and obesity in 2016. Obesity among adolescents may increase, in part due to changes in the food system, which now offers a wide range of ultra-processed foods (UPF) that minimize preparation time. Indonesia has also a large and rapidly growing market for unhealthy drinks, which are sold in various places including schools and hospitals.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association of UPF and beverages consumption and other related factors with nutritional status of senior high school students in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted in Pontianak investigated the association between UPF consumption and nutritional status of SHS students. Data collection was conducted at Imanuel and Petrus SHS Pontianak in June 2023, involving 273 students from grades 10th and 11th. Weight and height measurement was obtained for calculating the BMI for age Z-scores, while UPF and beverages consumption was obtained by FFQ. Structured questionnaire, 24-hours recall, and IPAQ-S were used for assessing sociodemographic status, Total Energy Intake and Physical Activity Level. Data analysis used SPSS version 26.
Results: The result found 40.3% of students were overweight-obesity; 51.6% consumed excessive UPF and beverages. It showed an inverse association between UPF consumption and nutritional status. The study identifies UPF and beverages consumption, gender, mother's education level, and family income as factors associated with nutritional status among adolescents.
Conclusion: The consumption of ultra-processed Foods was high, with the highest UPF intake came from snacks and sweets (22.4%). There was inverse association between UPF and beverages consumption with nutritional status. There was also significant association between UPF and beverages, gender, mother education level and family income with nutritional status
Child rearing workplace policy for working mothers: A scoping review
Full text linkIntroduction: Straddling work and childcare harms working moms' health, potentially their children too. To address this, child rearing workplace policies are needed. These would promote work-life balance and ensure both mothers' and children's well-being, ultimately protecting pregnant and parenting women at work.
Objective: This study aims to explore the gaps between available child rearing workplace policy for working mothers and the implementation on the field while taking its implications into account.
Methods: We reviewed literature from PubMed electronic database. Predefined keywords were developed and chosen. Relevant articles were filtered according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Furthermore, all articles were reviewed independently and those that match were included and charted through Microsoft Excel based on each articles’ characteristics.
Results: There are 13 workplace policies related to childcare for working mothers in the included articles. The most common policy was paid maternity leave. Other frequently mentioned policies included lactation support and facilities, flexible work arrangements, and daycare facilities. All policies have different implementation rates and implications to both working mothers and their children.
Conclusion: Supportive child rearing policies at work benefit everyone: employers, employees, and their families, leading to a better nutritional and health status, hence increase overall quality of life
Validity test of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) diagnostic criteria compared with the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) criteria in inpatients at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital: A cross-sectional study
Full text linkBackground: Malnutrition experienced by numerous inpatients is linked to various complications. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM), which established the latest malnutrition criteria, recommends a two-step methodology for diagnosing malnutrition in adult inpatients. This study aims to evaluate the validity of the GLIM criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition in hospitalized patients at Cipto Mangunkusomo Hospital Jakarta by comparing them with the ASPEN criteria.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusomo Hospital, Jakarta. Secondary data was taken from 100 inpatients from October 2021 to February 2022 selected by consecutive sampling technique. The diagnosis of malnutrition in the patients applied the ASPEN and GLIM criteria. Furthermore, data were analyzed using Cohen's Kappa and chi-square tests.
Results: Of 100 inpatients, 63% were diagnosed with malnutrition according to the GLIM diagnostic criteria. Meanwhile, 48% of them were found to be malnourished according to the ASPEN criteria. The GLIM criteria have a specificity of 69.2%, a sensitivity of 97.9%, a PPV of 74.6%, and an NPV of 97.3%.
Conclusion: The GLIM diagnostic criteria are valid as an instrument for diagnosing malnutrition but require further research to assess the severity of malnutrition
