The role of early life nutrition in the determination of healthy ageing
Full text linkNutrition plays an important role at all life stages—before and during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, and childhood, as well as during adult life. Maternal nutrition has a major impact on the infant, not only because the nutrient exchange through the placenta and breast milk is involved in fetal and infant growth, but it also plays a role in determining the offspring’s risk of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) during adulthood
Micronutrients intake as risk factor of stunting in toddlers aged 6-24 months in Kintamani District, Bali
Full text linkReducing stunting is a priority program for the Indonesian government. Kintamani District is one of the areas in Bali Province with a stunting prevalence above the provincial average. Micronutrients play an essential role in growth and development, but their intake in children is often overlooked. This study aimed to investigate micronutrient intake as a risk factor for stunting in toddlers aged 6-24 months in the Kintamani district, Bali
Comparison of diet quality on weekdays and weekends among high school students in a semi-military education system
Full text linkAdequate nutrition is critical for the growth, academic, and physical performance of adolescents. In semi-military schools, the regimented weekly schedules may influence students' eating patterns, potentially causing variations in diet quality between weekdays and weekends. This study aims to explore the differences in diet quality between weekdays and weekends among high school students enrolled in a semi-military education system
Lessening morbidity and mortality in surgery
Full text linkSurgeons always try to improve outcomes of patients by lessening morbidity and mortality and. Proper plan during perioperative period is essential as nutritional support influence short-term and long-term outcomes in malnourished or undernourished patients
The impact of prebiotic, probiotic, and synbiotic supplements on CD4, CD8 counts and inflammatory markers in HIV patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Full text linkHIV infection compromises immune function and depletes CD4+ T-lymphocytes. Prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics are potential dietary supplements to improve immune status and manage inflammation in HIV patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated their effects on CD4 count, CD8 count, and inflammatory markers in HIV patients
Correlation between total animal and plant protein intake, with body mass index in tuberculosis patients during the intensive phase in Dili and Oecusse
Full text linkTuberculosis causes decreased appetite and hypermetabolism, disrupting protein breakdown and synthesis, leading to malnutrition. Proteins, as the primary source of amino acids, support immune cells and help prevent malnutrition and susceptibility to other infections. The intensive phase of tuberculosis therapy is crucial for enhancing immune defense, reducing the bacterial load, and decreasing energy expenditure, thereby increasing body weight
Analysis of macronutrient and micronutrient intake with the incidence of stunting and wasting in toddlers 0-59 months of age at public health center Bojong, Bogor regency
Full text linkBackground : Stunting is defined as not achieving optimal height for age. One of the factors of stunting is caused by unbalanced nutrition. This is due to long-term nutrient intake inadequacies that potentially lead to insufficient nutrient requirements from food. Wasting often has symptoms of severe weight loss in the short term. It usually occurs when toddlers do not get a good quality and quantity of food and/or they suffer from recurrent or chronic illnesses.
Objective : Assessing the relationship between macro-micronutrient intake with the incidence of stunting and wasting in the Bojong Health Center working area, Bogor Regency July-August 2023 Period.
Methods : This research using cross-sectional study was conducted in the working area of Public Health Centre Bojong, Bogor Regency, Indonesia, from July 2023 to August 2023. The number of subjects is 93 subjects. Subjects were recruited using consecutive sampling, toddlers aged 0-59 months and mothers were the respondents who answered questions during interviews, 2x24-hour food recall, SQFFQ. The data in this study was obtained through direct interviews with respondents.
Results : Subject macronutrient and micronutrient intake tended to be deficient refer to RDA 2019. There was an association (p=0.000) between the intake of energy, protein, carbohydrates, fat, Fe, Omega 3, Zn, vitamin D, and Ca with the incidence of stunting and wasting.
Conclusions : Intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, iron, omega-3, zinc, vitamin D, and Ca were significantly lower in children with nutritional problems (stunting and wasting) compared to RDA Indonesian Ministry of Health 2019
Role of folic acid supplementation in level of c-reactive protein in metabolic syndrome : evidence based case report
Full text linkIntroduction: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing, its progression involves an inflammatory response that has an important impact on the initiation, progressivity, and complications of several diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the inflammation markers increased in patients with metabolic syndrome. Folic acid has a role in metabolizing homocysteine and improving endothelial function. There have been many studies conducted, but the results are still inconsistent.
Method: Literature searching was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases. MeSH terms, advanced search and eligibility criteria were used for title/abstract screening before journal review.
Results: One systematic review and meta-analysis (SR-MA) and one RCT met the PICO and eligibility criteria. The SR-MA found that folic acid administration can reduce CRP level (WMD -0.94 (95% CI -1.56 – 0.32; p=0.00) at a dose of 0.15 mg/day for 12 weeks to 10 mg/day for 2 weeks, while the RCT found an insignificant result.
Conclusion: Folic acid supplementation has a potential benefit to decrease CRP levels in metabolic syndrome
