Nutrient Intake Associated with Anemia Status of Primary School Children
Get PDFThis study aims to analyzse nutrient intake associated with the anemia status of primary school children in Bogor, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 500 children aged 8–14 years from 16 primary schools in Bogor, Indonesia. Anemia status was determined using hemoglobin level and analyzed using the cyanmethemoglobin method. Meanwhile, the dietary intake was assessed using 3x24 hours food recall. Anemia prevalance is 58.8%. Most of the subjects had indequate energy and nutrient intake. In this study, vitamin C adequacy level is the only nutrient associated with anemia status (p=0.03; OR=2.3; 95% CI:1.1–5.1)
Milk Supplementation as a Potential Intervention for Overcoming Anemia and Chronic Energy Deficiency during Pregnancy
Get PDFThis study aimed to determine the effect of milk supplementation on Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and hemoglobin level in pregnant women. It is a quasi-experimental study conducted from May to August 2019. The sampling was done by purposive sampling, and 108 pregnant women were recruited and divided into two groups: intervention group and non-intervention group. The intervention group received Fe-fortified milk supplementation, and the non-intervention group received education on anemia prevention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test. The result was that providing milk supplementation to pregnant women for three months could significantly increase MUAC and prevent further decline in hemoglobin levels
The Effect of Semangit Tempeh Cookies on MUAC, Hb, and Serum Ferritin in Pregnant Women with CED
Get PDFThis study aimed to analyze the effect of semangit tempeh cookies on Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), Hemoglobin (Hb), and Serum Ferritin (SF) of pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in Lebak, Banten. The study included 47 pregnant women with MUAC<23.5 cm who were divided into Control Group (CG) (n=22) and Intervention Group (TSG) (n=25). The mean increase in MUAC in the intervention group was 0.72±0.97 cm, while that in the control group was 0.75±1.23 cm (p>0.05), and there was an increase in hemoglobin levels of 0.84 mg/dL in the control group and 0.18 mg in the intervention group. The level of adherence to consumption of semangit tempeh cookies in the intervention group was lower than in the control group (p>0.05). The supplemental feeding of semangit tempeh cookies to pregnant women in intervention group did not have a significant effect on MUAC, Hb and serum ferritin compared to control group
Dietary Diversity, Stunting, and the Impact of an Education Program on Parents’ Knowledge and Attitudes in West Sumba, Indonesia
Get PDFThis pre- and post-test quasi-experimental study aimed to assess dietary diversity and its association with stunting among toddlers (13–60 months), examine the levels of knowledge and attitudes towards balanced and diverse diets among parents or caregivers, and evaluate the impact of customized flashcards and meal boxes as educational tools on parents’/caregivers’ knowledge and attitudes in three selected villages in West Sumba, Indonesia. A total of 59 parents/caregivers were recruited, 30% of whom had stunted toddlers. The levels of parents’/caregivers’ knowledge and attitudes were moderate. The results from the pre-test study show that Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) did not correlate with stunting status. Furthermore, neither knowledge nor attitudes was discovered to be related to DDS. The use of flashcards and meal boxes in the educational program improved the scores of knowledge (p<0.05) and attitudes (p<0.05) from the pre-test scores. There was a positive correlation between knowledge and attitudes, either before or after the education program (r=0.362, p<0.05 and r=0.562, p<0.05, respectively). To summarize, this study has the potential to be applied in other rural and remote areas
Hepatoprotective Effect of Parijoto Fruit Extract (Medinilla speciosa Blume) on Male Mice Fed with High-Fat Diet
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the effectiveness of parijoto fruit extract (Medinilla speciosa Blume) in improving the condition of fatty liver in male balb/c mice (Mus musculus L.) fed with a high-fat diet. Thirty male balb/c mice weighing 20 to 30 g were randomly divided into six groups, i.e: 1) Standard feed and Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium or CMC-Na 0.5% (K1); 2) High-fat diet and CMC-Na 0.5% (K2); 3) High-fat diet and simvastatin 0.026 mg/day (K3); 4) High-fat diet and parijoto fruit extract 5.6 mg/20 g BW (P1); 5) High-fat diet and parijoto fruit extract 8.4 mg/20 g BW (P2); 6) High-fat diet and parijoto fruit extract 11.2 mg/20 g BW (P3). Standard feed, high-fat diet, simvastatin, and parijoto fruit extract were administered for 56 days. On the 57th day, the total of 30 mice were terminated and the livers were then removed for H&E staining histopathological slides. Data on the degree of fatty liver on histopathological slides were collected and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and followed by the Mann-Whitney test. The histopathological analysis showed Medinilla speciosa Blume extract at a dose of 5.6 mg/20 g BW in group P1 prevent the steatosis degree compared to high-fat feed mice in group K2 (p>0.05). Parijoto fruit extract could act as the potential treatment for fatty liver
Factors Associated with Malnutrition in Adolescent Girls during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFThis study aimed to analyze the factors associated with malnutrition in adolescent girls. The study design was a cross-sectional study with a stratified proportional random sampling, which resulted in samples of 156 adolescent girls aged 10 to 24 years in high schools in Tasikmalaya City. Chi-square test is used to analyze factors associated with malnutrition in adolescent girls. Menstrual cycle, knowledge, physical activity, and stress were significantly associated with malnutrition, while a history of infectious disease was not significantly associated. The implication of this research is that during the pandemic, adolescent girls need to maintain knowledge, physical activity, and coping skills to avoid malnutrition
A Review of Nutritional and Health Risk Factors for Low Birth Weight Infants in Indonesia
Get PDFThis review aimed to identify the determinants of nutritional and health factors associated with high risk of Low Birth Weight (LBW) among infants in Indonesia. The review was conducted systematically based on all articles published between 2012–2022 in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SAGE databases. In the end, four articles were used in this review. The results showed that potential risk factors associated with LBW are maternal nutritional factors such as Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) (25%) and pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index (BMI) (50%), and maternal health factors that can be assessed during routine Antenatal Care (ANC). Therefore, identification of risk factors for LBW is important to minimize the incidence of LBW
Effects of Micronutrient Fortification, Baking Temperature, and Baking Time on Sensory Acceptance of Butter Cookies
Get PDFThis research aims to evaluate the effect of multiple-micronutrient fortification, baking temperature, and baking time on the sensory acceptance of butter cookies. Unfortified and fortified cookies with 3.2% (w/w) multiple-micronutrient mix were baked with different treatments: 170°C for 15 minutes and 190 °C for 9 minutes. Untrained adult female panelists (n=50) did a sensory test using a 9-point hedonic scale. Interaction between treatments significantly affected texture and aroma (p<0.05). Cookies fortified with micronutrients baked at 190°C had a lower mean hedonic score for texture (5.90±1.91) and aroma (6.54±1.61) among other treatments (p<0.05). These findings indicate that micronutrient fortification and baking profile affect the aroma and texture acceptance of butter cookies
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Food Security at the Household Level: Cross-Sectional Survey in Jakarta and Depok, Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aimed to describe when the effects of the pandemic on food security started to be felt by families in Jakarta (urban area) and Depok (semi-urban area). A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 517 respondents. Data were collected using an online questionnaire. The study revealed that effects of economic decline, reduced purchasing power, and increased food prices occurred early during the pandemic. Those living in semi-urban areas were affected earlier than those living in urban areas. However, more semi-urban families perceived that they were prepared to face food shortage during the pandemic. It is recommended to consider these results for public health nutrition program in food security and disaster
