BACKGROUND: The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Gorontalo Province is still high at 194.7/100,000 live births. Causes of high MMR include bleeding and anemia. AIM: This study aimed to assess the effect of giving Moringa oleifera extract on the hemoglobin concentration of preconception women in the area of the health center Tibawa. METHODS: This research method was a true experiment with a type of randomized controlled double-blind intervention of WUS aged 15–35 years with a sample of 44 people selected using purposive sampling techniques collected by trained personnel, including general data of respondents. RESULTS: The results showed nutritional status and hemoglobin concentration in the treatment group of 12 people (54%) with an increase in Hb 0.1–1.0 g/dl and ten people (45%) with an increase in Hb 1.5–2.0 g/dl after the intervention, whereas in the control group of five people (22%) with an increase in Hb 0.1–1.0 g/dl and 17 people (77%), there was no increase in Hb after the intervention. There was a significant difference in hemoglobin concentration in the treatment group with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) with an average increase of 1.54. There was a significant difference in hemoglobin concentration in controls with p = 0.025 (p < 0.05) with an average increase of 0.22. CONCLUSION: There is a difference in the effect between administration of M. oleifera extract that is more effective on hemoglobin concentration compared to MMN. It is hoped that in supporting government programs in reducing anemia in women of childbearing age, M. oleifera extract can be an alternative to giving blood-added tablets MMN.

Introduction: Worm infections will affect the intake, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food.Worm infection can cause nutritional deficiencies in the form of calories, protein, and vitamins andblood loss which results in a decrease in endurance and cause disruption to child development.Objective: This study aims to describe the incidence of helminthiasis (soil transmitted helminth),intake of vitamin B12 and vitamin C in primary school-aged children in Makassar City. Materials andMethods: The type of research used is descriptive.

Datacollection on children's characteristics was carried out by interviewing questionnaires and intakeusing a 2 × 24 hour food recall method, worm examination performed with the Kato Katz technique.Descriptive analysis was carried out using the SPSS application. Results: A total of 15.9% of childrenhad helminthiasis. Children who were positive for helminthiasis were more prevalent in male sexes,namely (22.9%) aged 10 years as much (17.6%) and living in coastal areas as much (23.3%). VitaminB12 intake showed more children who had more helminthiasis with adequate vitamin B12  intake whichwas as much as (85.7%). Whereas the status of helminthiasis based on vitamin C intake shows thatchildren who are positive have more worms with less vitamin C intake which is as much as (100%).Conclusions and Suggestions: Suggestions for the community, especially mothers and children, tomaintain home environmental sanitation, as well as the importance of consuming nutritious food

Both under-and over-nutrition problems exist among Indonesian adolescent girls which was around 7.5% at aged 16-18 years was thin, and 5.7% was obese. The problem of the menstrual disorder is also common among adolescent girls as 13.5% of Indonesian women aged 10-59 years had an irregular menstrual cycle. This research aims to investigate the relationship between nutritional status and macronutrient intake and menstrual disorders at adolescent girls. The study design was a cross-sectional with chisquare test. A total of 114 convenience sample was recruited from high school girls at grade 1 and 2 who attended Islamic Boarding School. The collected data was macronutrient intakes, body weight, height, and menstrual disorders which respectively using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, a weighing scale and a microtoice, and a self-administrative questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of school girls reported menstrual disorders (61.4%). A significant relationship between inadequate fat intake and menstrual disorders (p=0,033) was discovered. Meanwhile, no significant relationship was found between carbohydrate intake (p=0,348), protein intake (p=0,667), and nutritional status (p=0,178) and menstrual disorders. The researchers concluded that inadequate macronutrient intakes and menstrual disorders could be the critical nutrition and reproductive health issues to be addressed among adolescent girls at a boarding school setting.

BACKGROUND: The low adherence to consumption of Fe tablets in adolescent girls illustrates that the iron supplementation program has not been maximized, so the proportion of anemia in the adolescent group is still high. School-based weekly Fe tablet intervention together with education is effective and ideal in preventing anemia. AIM: This study aims to determine the effect of the PAKEM education model on adherence to Fe tablet consumption. METHODS: This research was quasi-experimental with the randomized pre-test-post-test control group design. The population of this study was 249 young women in Class XI of several high schools, SMAN 12 Makassar and SMAN 1 Makassar, based on the results of the initial survey with low adherence to taking Fe tablets. The research sample was obtained by simple random sampling; 70 respondents were divided into intervention and control groups. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann–Whitney U-test. RESULTS: There was an increase after the PAKEM educational intervention on knowledge (10.91–17.88), attitudes (56.11–73.60), motivation (38.05–53.49), and actions (0.83–7.34). There was a significant difference between the PAKEM intervention group and the leaflet and audiovisual controls on all study variables with p=0.000 (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The PAKEM education model was more influential than a leaflet and audiovisual media on the compliance of female adolescent Fe tablet consumption. It is recommended for health workers and educators to apply the PAKEM education model to prevent anemia in adolescent girls.

BACKGROUND: Prediabetes is a condition that precedes the onset of diabetes mellitus (DM), DM disagreement, and penalties are needed through the management of prediabetes. AIM: This study aimed to study the effect of giving cinnamon stems (Cinnamomum burmannii) for 14 days on the levels of fasting adult blood sugar (glukosa darah puasa [GDP]) in prediabete adults in Makassar City. METHODS: This research method uses a quasi-experimental randomized pre-test design with a control group. There are 28 samples from a total of 167 communities in the working area of Pampang and Antara Community Health Center who have diabetes risk factors. Levels of GDP, Anthropometry, knowledge level, and 24-h recall were taken from samples that were divided into two groups of cinnamon stew studio with a dose of 10 g + education for the intervention group and education for the control group. Data were analyzed using the will-coxon test and the Mann–Whitney test. RESULTS : The results showed that significant changes in GDP after giving cinnamon stew and education in the intervention group (p = 0.032), there was a change in GDP levels but not significant after providing education in the control group (p = 0.197), for the average difference change in GDP in the group intervention (−4.14) is greater than the control group (−2.50) but the magnitude of change in GDP is not significant, whereas there is no significant difference in GDP levels between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention (p = 0.270). Consumption of 10 g of cinnamon stew for 14 days can reduce fasting blood sugar levels. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the study, there were significant changes in GDP after giving cinnamon stew and education in the intervention group, there was a change in GDP levels but not significant after providing education in the control group, the average change in the intervention group was greater than the control group but the change in GDP not significant, there was no significant difference in GDP levels between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention.
