Pattern of fiber intake in different socio-demographic settings among elderly in Jakarta, Indonesia and its associated factors
Get PDFIntroduction Despite many health benefits from dietary fiber, inadequate intake is prevalent among elderly population. This study aims to obtain the pattern of fiber intake in different socio-demographic backgrounds among elderly in Jakarta area, Indonesia and its’ associated factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among elderly aged > 60 years in 5 community health center across Jakarta province. A total of 126 elderly were interviewed using two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recall methods to obtain dietary intake data. Socio-demographic backgrounds on age, sex, education, income, marital status, and energy intake were assessed using structured questionnaire. Mann-Whitney or independent t-test was performed to measure the different of fiber intake in each socio-demographic variable. Linear regression test was performed to analyze the variables that associated with fiber intake.
Results: Majority of 98.4% of elderly have total fiber intake <80% of Indonesian Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) with average intake of 6.6 g/d. Lower fiber intake was significantly found in females, widowed/separated, have lower education and income, and have inadequate energy intake. Factors associated with total fiber intake were income (adjusted β=0.20, p=0.01) and energy intake adequacy (adjusted β=0.65 p=0.00).
Conclusion: Fiber intake among elderly in urban area is inadequate and the pattern was worse in the low socio-demographic settings. By this finding, it is important to give priority to the socially disadvantages group when formulating nutrition intervention policy in this population setting
Pengaruh puasa intermiten 5:2 terhadap kadar malondialdehida pada karyawan pria dewasa dengan obesitas
Get PDFEffect of intermittent fasting 5:2 on plasma malondialdehyde levels in adult male employees with obesityBackground: Obesity is a major risk factor for various non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. In obesity, the free radical product will be produced, such as malondialdehyde (MDA) which plays a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Intermittent fasting (IF) is an alternative way to reduce free radical levels in the body therefore it can prevent complications of obesity. However, the effect of IF on MDA level in an obese adult male in Jakarta has not been reported.Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of IF on malondialdehyde levels in adult male employees with obesity in Jakarta.Methods: This study used a randomized controlled clinical trial. The subjects were men aged 19-59 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2, divided into fasting and control groups, each group consists of 25 subjects. Intermittent fasting 5:2 is calorie restriction up to 20-25% was done every Monday and Thursday, and not allowed to eat and drink during 14 hours of fasting. Before the intervention, both groups were given education about balanced nutrition. Association of intermittent fasting with MDA and catalase was analyzed by means of difference formula with a significance limit of 5%.Results: MDA levels post-intervention significantly decreased compared to the pre-intervention both in the fasting group [1,3(0,9-2) nmol/mL to 0,4(0,3-0,6) nmol/mL] and in the control groups [1,4(0,9-1,9) nmol/mL to 0,5(0,3-0,7) nmol/mL]. MDA level post-intervention in the fasting group was significantly lower (p<0,05) compared to the control group.Conclusions: Intermittent fasting 5:2 during 8 weeks can decrease MDA levels in adult males with obesity in Jakarta

Association of Parenting Style and Mindful Eating with Sodium Intake among Adolescents in Indonesia
Get PDFBackground: Most adolescents have an excessive sodium intake associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Parents have an important role in controlling adolescents’ nutritional intake, including sodium, through healthy eating. Mindful eating is considered healthy eating with the potential to control nutritional intake. This study aims to analyze the association of parenting style and mindful eating with sodium intake among adolescents.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved adolescents aged 15–18 years. Sodium intake was measured by repeated 24-hour food recall. Parenting style was examined with a validated parenting style and dimensions questionnaire self-administered by the adolescent parent. Mindful eating was evaluated using a mindful eating questionnaire (MEQ) self-administered by the adolescent. Data were analyzed using Kruskal–Walls and Spearman correlation.
Results: Parenting style has no significant association with sodium intake, and mindful eating has a negatively significant correlation with sodium intake (p \u3c 0.05; r = −0.17).
Conclusions: Parenting style has no direct association with sodium intake. However, mindful eating has a significant association with sodium intake and parenting style. Mindful eating shows potential as a mediator between parenting style and sodium intake
Protein and iron intake adequacy among high school girls in Depok, Indonesia
Get PDFIntroduction: Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia among adolescent girls. The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women increased from 2013 to 2018, and females age 15-24 years had the highest prevalence of anemia. Therefore, knowing the baseline status of protein and iron intake —particularly animal-sourced protein as the main source of heme iron—is important to design future intervention program. Thus, this study was aimed to assess the protein and iron intake adequacy of High School girls in Depok, Indonesia.
Methods: 211 girls from Senior High School in Depok, Indonesia participated in this study. Subjects were selected using a multi-stage random sampling method. A questionnaire was administered to obtain general characteristics. Dietary intake data were obtained using a 3-day non-consecutive 24hr recall 1 weekend 2 weekdays interview. Anthropometric status was measured and calculated. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 20. Spearman’s correlation (significance p<0.05) was used to determine the factors related to protein and iron intake.
Results: This population had inadequate intake of energy (97.2%), protein (59.7%), and iron (98.6%). However, intake of fat was higher than recommended in 59.2% of participants. Protein and iron intake were not correlated with age, father’s education, mother’s education, and the number of household member
The effect of intermittent fasting 5:2 on IL-6 levels in obese male employees in Jakarta
Get PDFBackground: Obesity is a condition of excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue. This condition causes endothelial damage, increase macrophage infiltration, and inflammation in adipose tissue. Inflammation happens due to the increase of interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a proinflammatory cytokine which responsible for the occurrence of chronic diseases. Intermittent fasting is a potentially effective method for losing weight and suggested can reduce levels of proinflammatory cytokines.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 5:2 intermittent fasting on IL-6 cytokine levels in obese employees in Jakarta.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional method conducted on 50 healthy male employees aged 19–52 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2. Subjects were divided into two groups, the 5:2 intermittent fasting group and the non-fasting group. Intermittent fasting 5:2 was observed every Monday and Thursday for eight weeks. IL-6 levels were obtained through examination using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis test.
Results: The results showed that the median of IL-6 levels decreased in fasting group from 5,10 (1.06–9.81) pg/mL to 4.64 (1.00–13.39) pg/mL and increased in non-fasting group from 3.65 (1.17–38.70) pg /mL to 6.35 (2.44–19.86) pg/mL, but the change was not significant.
Conclusion: Intermittent fasting 5:2 tend to decrease IL-6 levels in obese male employees in Jakarta although the change of IL-6 level was not significant
A Simple Photometer as a Helping Device in Measuring Blood Glucose
No full textMeasurement of non-invasive blood glucose is one way to increase the frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). For NIR reflectance spectroscopy, its application in non-invasive constrained by high value of standard error of prediction. The mean standard error of prediction was 25 mg/dL. Theoretically, NIR reflectance spectroscopy still can be used to predict blood glucose levels in certain conditions such as hypoglycemia (225 mg/dL), which the difference between the three conditions is more than 25 mg/dL. The results showed that there are significant differences in standards values of photometer measurement between controlled FBG and hyperglycemic conditions (P = 0.002). The results also showed that the photometer can be used to assist the monitoring of blood glucose in FBG under control and hyperglycemic conditions. It can be seen from the average percentage of the daily controlled FBG conditions in patients conducting SMBG in photometer-assisted compared to in patients only use SMBG once a day (28% versus 18%, P = 0.344)
