Abstract

Feeding practice videos containing nutritional content for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) are often found in English. This study aimed to develop an educational video of feeding practices for children with CP that is feasible in Indonesia to improve the nutritional knowledge and skills of caregivers regarding feeding and drinking. The Research and Development method was used with the ADDIE model, which consisted of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Small-group and field-group trials were conducted at the PNTC, IFA, and YPAC Surakarta pediatric physiotherapy clinics from February to April 2023. Video validation was performed by three experts: nutritionists, physiotherapists, and media experts who were competent in their fields. The video results based on nutritionist validation were 76,4%, physiotherapist validation results were 85,5%, and 82,4% media expert validation results. These results indicate that the video feeding practice developed as an educational media is suitable for use with minor improvements, according to expert advice. The trial results for the small group comprised ten respondents and obtained highly feasible results (90,3%). A field trial with 15 respondents obtained a result of 89,7% in the feasible category. In conclusion, an educational video of feeding practices for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy is feasible.

Abstract

Obesity is a chronic low-grade inflammatory condition that occurs in the White Adipose Tissue (WAT). Diet is the strongest factor regulating energy balance and influencing inflammatory responses in the body. This inflammatory response can be calculated using the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII). The aim of this research was to determine the differences between DII values for obese and non-obese people in the work area of the Sumbersari Public Health Center, Jember Regency, which was carried out from May to June 2023. This was a cross-sectional study with sample selection through a simple random sampling method. Thirty participants were included in each group. Data collection was carried out using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), and the data were analyzed using an independent t-test. The normality test was performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the data were normally distributed. The results obtained that There was a significant difference (p=0,000) between the DII values of the normal and obese groups. It is known that the average DII value in the normal group was +2,29 and in the obese group was +1,32, indicating that the normal group had a higher pro-inflammatory diet than the obesity group. In conclusion, there was a significant difference between the DII values in obese and non-obese groups in the working area of the Sumbersari Community Health Center, Jember Regency.

Abstract

Antioxidants are important for the prevention of oxidative stress, which can cause various degenerative diseases. Bangles contain bioactive components with antioxidant potential. Processing affects the active compounds in food, including angle. This study aimed to determine the effects of the blanching and extraction methods on the antioxidant activity of Bangle. This study focused on three factors: blanching treatment extraction technique, time, and type of extraction solvent. Analyses of antioxidants using the DPPH and ABTS methods were conducted in triplicate for each sample.  Data were analyzed using ANOVA. The results of this study show that the method, time, and type of solvent significantly affect the antioxidant activity of bangle rhizome extracts. The best treatment for antioxidant activity of Bangle rhizome was blanching treatment by adding 0,05% citric acid solution in the sonication extraction method for 30 min with ethanol as the solvent. The IC50 value on the DPPH method was 20,61±0,76 mg/g, and the percent free radical scavenging value was 87,11±3,04%. The IC50 value on the ABTS method is 20,79±0,29 mg/g and a percent free radical scavenging activity value of 92,75±0,13%. This study provides key insights for choosing effective extraction methods to increase antioxidant activity in natural materials, such as Bangle rhizomes.

Abstract

Normal-weight central obesity (NWCO) has a significant effect on Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and mortality, which are modulated by comorbidities. This systematic review aimed to identify comorbid diseases associated with NWCO. Search for articles published in 2013-2023 using the PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. Articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria, specifically articles about the relationship between NWCO and comorbid diseases, using English language, observational study design, and can be accessed in full text. Each article was assessed based on sample size, study design, response rate, outcome measurement, statistical analysis, confounding factors, ethics, and research limitations. The results of this study show that NWCO increases the risk of comorbid diseases such as hypertension, CVD, Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Metabolic Syndrome (MS), dyslipidemia, stroke, and hyperuricemia. Hypertension, MS, and dyslipidemia play a role in the incidence of CVD and DM. This study can increase awareness and attention to groups with normal body weights to improve lifestyle, routine health screening, and immediate intervention to prevent comorbid diseases.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that affects approximately 22% of the global population, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019. It also affects adults and the elderly (63,49%) more than the younger population (13,22%). This study aimed to determine the differences in the knowledge and food habits of patients after counseling using nutrition and hypertension flipcharts. The research used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. The research was conducted at the Tanjung Priok Public Health Center in 2022 with 30 outpatients with hypertension as respondents. Respondents who met the inclusion criteria were selected through accidental sampling. Knowledge levels were collected using questionnaires, and food habits were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using a paired t-test (80% CI). The results showed a significant increase in the knowledge scores of patients, from 76,67 to 93,00 after counseling using nutrition and hypertension flipcharts (p <0,001). After counseling, descriptive analysis showed a reduction in the number of respondents who frequently consumed high-sodium and high-saturated foods. It was concluded that the knowledge levels and food habits of patients with hypertension can improve after counseling using nutrition and hypertension charts.

Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide problem, particularly in Indonesia. Obesity and impaired glucose metabolism have an impact on vitamin D status in women with polycystic ovarium syndrome and are still controversial.  This study aimed  to examine vitamin D levels and the correlation between obesity and impaired glucose metabolism in PCOS patients. This research employed analytical observational techniques with a case-control approach with 40 women diagnosed with Rotterdam Criteria PCOS in Mother and Child Hospital Kasih Ibu Tegal during September-October 2023. This study used the Chemiluminescent Mikropartikel Immunoassay (CMIA) method to measure vitamin D levels in the laboratory. The statistical test utilized were Shapiro-Wilk, Paired T-Test and Mann Whitney and Chi Square. Results: There was no significant difference in the serum 25(OH)D levels between women with PCOS and controls (p>0,05; p=0,745). The group of patients with an obese waist circumference was 9.75 times more likely to develop PCOS than the group with a normal waist circumference (OR = 9,75; 95% CI = 1,16-82,11; p = 0,013). In conclusion, there was no substantial variation in vitamin D levels between PCOS and non-PCOS patients. Vitamin D deficiency correlates with obesity but does not correlate with impaired glucose metabolism.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia in adults over 18 years of age poses a significant health risk. Reproductive-age women are susceptible to this condition owing to unhealthy dietary habits, notably consumption of fast food. This study aimed to investigate the potential of edamame and almonds to lower blood cholesterol levels. This study employed a pre-test post-test group design following a 6-week intervention. Twenty-eight participants were recruited through consecutive sampling conducted in Purwokerto between March and August of 2022. Statistical analyses were performed using independent and paired t-tests. Results indicated no significant difference in the effectiveness of edamame and almonds in reducing total cholesterol levels among reproductive-age women (p= 0,534). After consumption of 48,8 g/d edamame for 6 weeks, a substantial decrease in total cholesterol levels was observed (p= 0,004), with a mean reduction of 17,79 ± 19,11 mg/dL. Conversely, the intervention with 42,5 g/d of almonds for 6 weeks did not significantly change total cholesterol levels (p= 0,193), yielding a mean reduction of 11,57 ± 31,51 mg/dL. In conclusion, the consumption of edamame for six weeks is effective in lowering total cholesterol levels among women of reproductive age.

Abstract

The prevention and management of hypertension through healthy lifestyle modifications is a challenge for public health. The prevalence of hypertension among Indonesians was 34,1%. Lifestyle behaviors such as body mass index, central obesity, and sodium intake are associated with the risk of hypertension. This study aimed to analyze the influence of nutritional status and abdominal circumference on blood pressure in adult men. This cross-sectional research was conducted in Sukajadi Village, Bogor, between 2022-2023. The subjects were 73 purposively selected adult men. Data on subject characteristics were obtained through interviews. Anthropometric data were obtained by measuring abdominal circumference, body weight, and body height to assess the body mass index (BMI). Consumption data were collected using SQ-FFQ. The data analysis was performed using a linear regression test with a significance level of 95%. The results showed that Body mass index (p=0,007) and abdominal circumference (p=0,005) affected systolic blood pressure, while sodium intake (p=0,906) was not related to systolic blood pressure in adult men. Conclusions: Body mass index and abdominal circumference greatly influenced the systolic blood pressure. Further studies are needed to determine the various factors that influence systolic blood pressure and the risk of hypertension.
