Introduction: Undernutrition prevalence in East Nusa Tenggara is very high. One of the intervention to overcome this problem is by providing foods enriched with vitamins and minerals. One of the plant that contains great amount of vitamins and minerals is Moringa which thrives in almost all of the mainland of Timor. This study aims to determine whether there is an effect of Moringa leaf powder supplementation on weight gain of children under five years of age at the working area of Naibonat Health Center in Kupang Regency.Methods: Experimental study with pre-test post-test control group design was conducted among children aged 2-5 years in the working area of the Naibonat Health Center in Kupang Regency. The study was conducted with consecutive sampling technique with a total subjects of 50 children consisting of 25 children in the treatment group and 25 children in the control group. The intervention group was given 25 grams of Moringa leaf powder for 14 days. Results: There was a significant increase in body weight of the treatment group after supplementation of 25 grams of Moringa leaf powder for 14 days (p< =0.,001). In the control group, there was no significant difference of body weight after the study.Conclusions: Moringa oleifera leaf powder supplementation of 5-10 grams has been able to increase body weight by 0.53 kg on children under five years of age at the working area of Naibonat Health Center in Kupang Regency by increasing the child's appetite.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is possible in the form of aerosol and fomite. Thus, hand hygiene is of utmost significance. Hand sanitizer is often used as a practical hand washing method. Purpose: This study aims to study the effectiveness of Moringa leaves extract as an antibacterial ingredient in hand sanitizer gel. Methods: Moringa leaves extract was obtained by maceration in 70% alcohol solution. The hand sanitizer formula consists of carbomer, propylene glycol, glycerin, methylparaben, and triethanolamine. The hand sanitizer gel was prepared using three formulas with different extract concentrations. The quality of the hand sanitizer gel was analyzed, including the gel acidity (pH), organoleptic, the inhibitory ability of bacterial growth against Staphylococcus aureus, and the gel dispersion.Results: This study showed that Formula III has the highest inhibitory area against S. aureus. The gel acidity (pH) was found at around 4 for all the formulas, safe for use on the skin. The organoleptic test showed no irritation to the skin for all three formulas. However, they demonstrated low dispersity. Conclusion: Moringa leaves extract is effective as an antibacterial in hand sanitizer gel.

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is still a major health problem in Indonesia. The duration of TB treatment is 6-8 months, the long treatment period for TB disease causes many TB sufferers to be lazy to do routine treatment because they feel bored, tired, saturated, and depressed, causing stress and ultimately treatment is not optimal.

The result of basic health research in Indonesia shows that the prevalence of metabolic disease in Indonesia is increasing from year to year. Diabetes Mellitus type two (DM type 2) has the highest prevalence of diabetes thus increasing the risk of hypercholesterolemia. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) contains flavonoids. This compound is very effective and safe in reducing glucose level that it can be used as a preventive of DM type 2. Moreover, flavonoid also have hypocholesterol effect. The purpose of the research is to determine the effect of moringa leaves juice on blood glucose level and total cholesterol on adults in East Nusa Tenggara Islands. The design of the study is quasy experimental with pre and post-test on non-equivalent control group. Samples were selected with purposive sampling technique. The total sample consisted of 42 people that were divided into two groups namely intervention group (16 samples) who consumed 200 ml of moringa leaves juice for three days and control group (27 samples). The result show that there is no significant differences before and after intervention. In other words, there is no effect of consuming moringa leaves juice on blood glucose level (p=0,432) and total cholesterol (p=0,134).
