Diet Quality Index of Infants Aged 6–9 Months of the Baduy Luar Ethnic Group in Lebak Regency, Indonesia
Get PDFThe study aim was to determine the quality of food consumption using the Diet Quality Index for Infants aged 6 to 9 months from Baduy Luar Ethnic Group. The study was conducted in 16 hamlets of Kanekes Village and the sample size was 79 infants. The data were consumption data of infants for one week based on Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Diet quality results are classified into good, fair and poor. Most of the toddlers consumed breast milk and had low intake of protein, vegetables, fruits while their carbohydrate consumption was in accordance with recommendations. This study shows that quality of food consumption is not associated with nutritional problems in infants
Quality of Chicken Sausage during Storage with Addition of Andaliman Fruit Powder
Get PDFThe study aimed to evaluate the impact of Andaliman Fruit Powder (AFP) concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 1.5% on the quality of chicken sausages over a 4-week storage period. The result showed that a higher concentration of AFP had a significant (p<0.05) increase in total phenolics and total flavonoids, while the total microbes and free fatty acid content decreased. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) observed in the protein content, pH, texture, and panelists\u27 acceptance of color, aroma, and taste in comparison with the control. The incorporation of 1.5% AFP can be applied to maintain the quality of chicken sausage during storage at 10°C
Carotenoid and Moisture Stability of Red Fruit (Pandanus conoideus) Oil Powder during Storage
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to evaluate the carotenoid and moisture stability of spray-dried and freeze-dried red fruit oil with different wall materials during storage. Red fruit emulsion was prepared by mixing sodium caseinate, maltodextrin and whey protein isolate in different ratios (1:0 (MW1), 3:1 (MW2), 1:3 (MW3) and 0:1 (MW4)), water, and red fruit oil followed by spray or freeze drying. The result showed that the carotenoid content of all samples was stable, but the moisture content changed during storage. Freeze-dried samples showed higher carotenoid and moisture content compared to spray-dried samples throughout the storage
Risk Factors of Subjective Cognitive Decline among Older People with Low Socioeconomic Status
Get PDFThe aim of the study is to investigate the predictors associated with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD)especially among older people with low socioeconomic status. This was a cross- sectional study involving older people with low socioeconomic status in Kelantan, which is one of the poorest states in Malaysia. Data of anthropometry, body composition, cognitive function, sarcopenia, depressive symptoms, medical history, blood pressure and polypharmacy were obtained via face-to-face interview. SCD was determined by a single item in the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Variables were analysed using the binary logistic regression model for identification of risk factors. A total of 293 older people with mean age of 69.1 years old was recruited. The SCD proportion in this study was 24.6%. One unit increase in Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) score increases risk of subjective cognitive decline by odds of 1.814 (OR=0.595: 95% CI:1.441–2.283; p<0.001). Meanwhile, those with diabetes have a tendency of 2.972 to have SCD as compared to non-diabetics (OR=1.089: 95% CI:1.062–8.315; p<0.038). The prevalence of SCD in this study is high and may contribute to cognitive impairment. The predictors of SCD were larger waist circumference, having diabetes, and increasing score in GDS. SCD must be screened earlier and healthy lifestyle must be emphasized. Routine screening and monitoring of non-communicable disease risk factors are important for the prevention of SCD
Anemia and Wasting in Adolescent Girls: A Cross-Sectional Study in Aceh, Indonesia
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to assess the anemia and nutritional status in adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 348 senior high school girls. Nutritional status was determined by BMI-for-age Z-score for those younger than 19 years and BMI for those older than 19 years. Anemia was determined using the standard of severely low hemoglobin level of less than 12 mg/dL. Data analysis used the logistic regression test at the 95% confidence interval. The results showed that 40.5% of adolescent girls had anemia, 50.9% were wasted, and 14.4% were overweight/obese. Wasting and obesity are risk factors for anemia in adolescent girls. Intervention is needed to prevent anemia and wasting by improving balanced diet and nutrition education
Association between Pre-Conception Health and Nutrition Knowledge- Attitude-Practice and Anemia among Pre-Marital Women in Sleman, Indonesia
Get PDFThe study aimed to assess the association between pre-conception health and nutrition Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) and anemia among Pre-Marital Women (PMW). In this cross-sectional study, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measurement, 24-hour food recall interview, blood sample collection, and validated KAP questionnaire interview were conducted to 111 PMW in Sleman in 2021. The study found that 21.6%, 14.4%, and 49.1% of PMW had Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), anemia, and lack of minimum dietary diversity, respectively. The proportions of PMW with adequate KAP were 70.5%, 67.8%, and 64.3%, respectively. Pre-conception health and nutrition practices are associated with anemia (p<0.05), but knowledge and attitude are not
Predicted Glycaemic Index Values of Rice Prepared with Different Cooking Methods
Get PDFThe current study investigated how the preparation methods impact the nutritional composition and estimated Glycaemic Index (eGI) of the white and brown rice samples. The analysis of proximate and eGI was conducted after the white and brown rice were prepared through these cooking methods: (1) cooking rice without additional coconut oil and not being refrigerated (control); (2) cooking rice without additional coconut oil and being refrigerated (XCOR); (3) cooking rice with additional coconut oil and not being refrigerated (COXR); and (4) cooking rice with additional coconut oil and being refrigerated (COR). The result showed that the COR method recorded the lowest calorie for both white and brown rice (223.93 kcal and 169.90 kcal per 100 g, respectively). Meanwhile, the COR method also recorded the lowest eGI for both white rice (2.31, 6.36, 6.07, 4.55, 3.02, 2.22 nm/min) and brown rice (1.44, 1.92, 1.92, 1.36, 0.66, 0.27 nm/min) at 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 min, respectively. In conclusion, consuming refrigerated rice that has been cooked with coconut oil can be used as an alternative preparation technique to lower both calorific value and glycaemic index for the preparation of healthier rice meals for health-conscious individuals
Geophagia in Nigeria: Perceptions and Practices of Pregnant Mothers versus Possible Health Outcomes
Get PDFThis study aimed at ascertaining the perceptions and practices of pregnant mothers on geophagia, as well as highlighting possible health outcomes. For the cross-sectional survey, a structured questionnaire was designed, content-validated by experts, pre-tested and used for data collection. The questionnaires were administered to 200 pregnant mothers at health care facilities in southern Nigeria (particularly in Calabar and Onitsha), who consented to be part of the study. The findings of this study show that about 75% of the pregnant mothers admitted to consuming edible clays both during and after pregnancy with 60% of them stating that it was a safe practice during pregnancy. Also, the results show that income level and educational attainment significantly (p<0.05) influenced the perception and practices of the respondents regarding geophagia. Of the 2 edible clays explored in this study, kaolin clay was more popularly consumed than bentonite clay. With regards to respondents’ health status, none of them admitted to developing anaemia or any chronic disease during pregnancy. In conclusion, edible clays are still commonly consumed by women in Southern Nigeria, irrespective of age and exposure. Scientific reports show that these clays contain appreciable amounts of certain anti-nutrients and heavy metals, hence it is necessary to create awareness on the possible dangers related to their increased consumption, particularly during pregnancy
Supplementary Biscuits for the Recovery of Malnourished Children in Indonesia
Get PDFThe objective of this research was to study the nutritional status of children before receiving biscuits, the biscuit supplementation regularity, the adequacy of the biscuits received and consumed by the children according to recommendations, and the relationship between supplementary biscuits consumption and nutritional status. Using a cross-sectional study design, the study was conducted in 2017 involving 586 children in three regions (11 provinces) in Indonesia. A chi-square test was performed to see the relationship between supplementary biscuits consumption and nutritional status. The most common nutritional problems were stunting-wasting (34.1%), stunting (32.6%), and wasting (23.9%). The nutritional problems occurred most often in the eastern region (96.4%), followed by the central region (95.5%) and the western (87.1%). Within three months, 66–78% of respondents received supplementary biscuits regularly, but only 10–29% received the supplementary biscuits as recommended in the same period. Within the three months’ period, from respondents that received the supplementary biscuits as recommended, the region in which children consumed the biscuits according to the recommendations the most was the eastern region (45.2%), followed by the western (23.3%) and central regions (5.3%). Children who consumed biscuits as recommended in the three months’ period had a 2.9 times possibility of having a normal nutritional status (categorized based on the weight-for-age index) (p-value=0.049)
Awareness, Knowledge, and Practices towards Reading Snack Food Labels among Malaysian Adolescents
Get PDFThis study aimed to determine the awareness, knowledge, and practices regarding food labels and factors that influence their use; a cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 Malaysian adolescents aged 10 to 19. Participants completed an online Food Label Use Questionnaire (FLUQ) that included demographic, nutrition knowledge, label use, and factors affecting label use. SPSS version 28.0 was used for data analysis. The results showed that 93% of adolescents correctly identified the consequences of over-consuming calories. Still, only 84.5% performed well on the nutrition use task, struggling to interpret calorie and carbohydrate amounts in certain foods. The main reasons for not using food labels were time constraints (45.5%), unattractive or confusing labels (36%), absence of labels on certain foods (33%), lack of health concerns (32%), and insufficient knowledge (27%). However, 90.5% of adolescents were concerned about product expiration dates and often read this information. Taste and price were the main reasons for referring to food labels, while time constraints were the main barrier to their use. In conclusion, practicing reading food labels can guide adolescents in making informed decisions about their food choices and portion intake. Awareness campaigns can aid in promoting healthy habits and empowering adolescents to make the right choices for their health
