Abstract

BackgroundFlavonoids have positive effects on health, including the nervous system. High flavonoid content can be found in chocolate, especially dark chocolate. Verbal working memory is important for reasoning, language comprehension, planning, and spatial processing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single dose of dark and white chocolate administration on verbal working memory in medical students. MethodsA study of experimental pre-post test design with controls was conducted on 60 students. These were simply randomized into two groups: the first group was supplemented with white chocolate as control, and the second group received dark chocolate, at an identical single dose of 100 g. Working memory was measured with the digit span forwards (DSF) and the digit span backwards (DSB) tests, before, at 1 hour, and at 3 hours after intervention. Independent t and Mann-Whitney tests were used for data analysis. ResultsScores for DSF and DSB in control and treatment groups were similar at baseline. At 1 hour after dark and white chocolate administration, DSF and DSB scores were not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.832; p=0.683). Supplementation of dark chocolate at 3 hours after intervention significantly increased DSB scores compared to white chocolate (p=0.041), but DSF scores were not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.204). ConclusionsDark chocolate as a single dose is capable of improving verbal working memory in students, 3 hours after its consumption. Since cocoa contains multiple bioactive compounds, one approach might be to examine the neurocognitive effects of combinations of potential functional ingredients.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a medical emergency caused by poor or blocked blood flow to the brain resulting in brain damage and death. In the efforts to lower the number of stroke related mortality and encourage a higher quality of public health, knowledge and understanding of the definition, risks, signs and symptoms, and complication associated with stroke must become publicly available and further research should be encouraged. Higher education level and experience are expected to raise awareness of stroke disease. Objective: This study is conducted in order to determine the relationship between education level in correlation to knowledge of stroke at Paris Jaya in 2020. Method: The study is a descriptive analytic with a cross-sectional approach using 165 population of Poris Jaya. Population answered the provided questionnaire about sociodemographic and knowledge of stroke. The data collected was analyzed and scored using the Spearman test to see the correlation between educational level and knowledge while the Chi-square test was used to score the association between experience and knowledge. Result: There was a correlation between education level and knowledge score (p<0,05). There was also association between experience having stroke (p=0,01) and experience taking care stroke patient (p=0,03) with knowledge score. The most common education level that respondents have is graduated from senior high school. The average score of knowledge based on questionnaire was 68,667. Internet mostly used to find further information about this disease. Conclusion: Strong relationship are shown between education level and experience with knowledge of stroke at Poris Jaya in 2020
