Stunting is one of the public health problems that has yet to be solved in Indonesia. This study developed synbiotic fermented milk with iron and zinc fortification that was then tested in a clinical setting. The product was made from skimmed milk and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum. A sample of 94 stunted children under five years old were randomly assigned to intervention or control groups. The intervention group received double-fortified synbiotic milk, while the control group drank non-fortified milk. After three months, the number of normal children in both groups, according to weight- or height-for-age z-score category, was found to be increasing. However, the difference between the two groups was not significant (p > 0.05). The study suggests that fermented milk may have a good effect on child growth. Further research is needed to deepen the potency of synbiotic fermented milk for stunted children.
Increasing potassium and reducing sodium intake have been identified as a priority intervention to reduce non-communicable diseases. A low sodium high potassium (LSHP) healthy diet can be a predictor of overall dietary quality and is associated with higher diet costs. The present study was a randomised controlled-feeding trial, formulating menus of low sodium and potassium-rich healthy diet and comparing with usual diet (a control diet based on typical Indonesian diet) to assess the association of potassium intake in the menus with other nutritional contents and diet cost. Totally seventy menus, which consisted of LSHP diets and the usual diets for a 7-d cycle, were composed from the analysis of the Indonesian food composition database. The correlation coefficient of the potassium content of all menus with nutritional quality and diet cost was analysed using the Pearson test. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the most important nutrient in determining diet cost. A comparison of nutrition quality and diet cost from the two menus was analysed using the independent t-test. LSHP diet had significantly higher carbohydrate, protein, fibre, magnesium, calcium, vitamin C, potassium density and diet cost but lower total fat, saturated fat and energy density than the usual diet (P < 0⋅05). Furthermore, there was a strong positive correlation between fibre, potassium and diet cost (coefficient correlation of >0⋅8). Potassium is a nutrient that is closely related to diet quality although the cost of the diet often may inhibit its intake. A targeted and effective strategy is required to provide affordable food for achieving a sustainable nutrient-rich diet.
BACKGROUND: Inadequate complementary feeding practices are known to contribute to children’s nutritional status. A minimum acceptable diet (MAD) is one of the simple, valid, and reliable indicators to assess complementary feeding practices in 6–23-month-old children on food diversity and meal frequency. Based on the UNICEF data, the MAD of 6–11 months in Indonesia was 26.3% in 2017 and the lowest compared to other groups. Hence, this study research question is posing toward several factors associated with the low MAD among 6–11 months infant. AIM: This study aimed to determine factors associated with MAD in 6–11-month-old children in Indonesia. METHODS: This study was a secondary analysis using the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. This is a cross-sectional study involving 17,848 children in Indonesia. Final sample to be analyzed were 1,441 children of 6–11-month-old. Logistic regression model was applied to identify the significant risk factors associated with MAD. RESULTS: The result showed that the prevalence of MAD in this study is 29%. From the multivariate logistic regression, wealth index, television ownership, and mother’s occupation were significantly associated with MAD of 6–11-month-old children in Indonesia. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, factors associated with MAD among 6–11-month-old children were wealth index, television ownership, and mother’s occupation.
Latar Belakang: Hipertensi merupakan gangguan kronis yang dapat menyebabkan timbulnya penyakit-penyakit berbahaya lainnya. Prevalensi hipertensi di Indonesia termasuk tinggi, Angka hipertensi di Kabupaten Jombang hampir mendekati angka hipertensi nasional. Prolanis merupakan program pengelolaan penyakit kronis di puskesmas yang diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kualitas hidup peserta.Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian edukasi terhadap pengetahuan mengenai hipertensi pada peserta Prolanis perempuan di Puskesmas Brambang Kabupaten Jombang.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pre-experimental dengan rancangan penelitian one group pretest-posttest. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode insidental sampling dan didapatkan responden sebanyak 19 orang dengan kriteria inklusi diantaranya memiliki jenis kelamin perempuan, memiliki tekanan darah tidak normal dan memiliki kemampuan untuk mendengar, membaca dan menulis. Data dianalisis menggunakan paired sample T-test (uji T berpasangan) untuk mengetahui pengaruh edukasi gizi terhadap pengetahuan mengenai hipertensi pada peserta Prolanis dengan nilai signifikansi 0,05 dan CI 95%.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa skor post-test meningkat 14,22% dari skor pre-test. Hasil uji t-test menunjukkan bahwa pemberian edukasi tentang hipertensi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan peserta Prolanis (p = 0,003).Kesimpulan: Pemberian edukasi mengenai hipertensi yang meliputi pengertian dan klasifikasi hipertensi, gejala, faktor penyebab, cara pengendalian, serta pemahaman terkait makanan yang harus dibatasi oleh penderita hipertensi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan peserta Prolanis.
ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Prevalensi remaja putri yang mengalami anemia defisiensi besi di Indonesia masih tinggi. Di Indonesia angka kejadian anemia pada remaja putri mencapai 21.7%. Anemia pada remaja dapat mempengaruhi konsentrasi dalam belajar, rendahnya produktifitas, dan mudah terkena infeksi. Pemerintah menjalankan program pemberian tablet tambah darah untuk menanggulangi anemia defisiensi besi pada remaja,. Tablet tambah darah diberikan pada remaja putri Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) dan Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA, dilakukan satu minggu sekali. Namun, program ini dirasa kurang efektif karena kepatuhan konsumsi tablet tambah darah pada remaja putri masih rendah. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi adalah rendahnya pengetahuan remaja tentang anemia. Rendahnya pengetahuan tentang anemia berhubungan erat dengan konsumsi dan kesadaran dalam mengkonsumsi tablet tambah darah Tujuan: Untuk mendiskusikan hubungan pengetahuan dan kepatuhan konsumsi tablet tambah darah dengan kejadian anemia pada remaja putri.Metode: Penulisan artikel ini adalah literature review dengan bersumber dari artikel yang diterbitkan dalam kurun waktu 10 tahun dan berhubungan dengan topik yang akan dibahas. Pencarian artikel melalui database Google Scholar dan Pubmed. Terdapat 25 artikel yang diperoleh, tetapi hanya 12 artikel yang dipilih untuk diulas karena sesuai dengan topik yang akan dibahas, tujuan, sasaran, dan hasil penelitianHasil: Dari beberapa artikel yang telah diulas menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan remaja terkait anemia dan kepatuhan remaja dalam mengkonsumsi tablet tambah darah berhubungan dengan kejadian anemia yang dialami oleh remaja. Pengetahuan yang baik tentang anemia dan gizi akan mempengaruhi pola makan pada remaja sehingga dapat mencegah anemia. Selain itu, patuh mengkonsumsi tablet tambah darah juga akan mempengaruhi kadar hemoglobin pada remajaKesimpulan: Pengetahuan remaja terkait anemia dan patuh mengkonsumsi tablet tambah darah akan mempengaruhi kadar hemoglobin pada remaja. Kata kunci: anemia, pengetahuan, kepatuhan, tablet tambah darah, remaja putri
