Stunting bayi dan balita merupakan permasalahan gizi kronis yang membutuhkan penanganan komprehensif dan melibatkan berbagai sektor. Pada tahun 2018 ditetapkan penanganan stunting merupakan prioritas pembangunan nasional melalui Rencana Aksi Nasional Gizi dan Ketahanan Pangan. Kabupaten Sumedang termasuk 160 kabupaten/kota prioritas penanganan stunting. Upaya penanganan stunting dengan mengoptimalkan kondisi pada 1000 hari pertama kehidupan (HPK) dapat dilaksanakan di Posyandu. Posyandu sebagai bentuk pemberdayaan masyarakat bidang kesehatan memiliki peran strategis, namun karena kader posyandu memiliki latar belakang pendidikan serta sosial budaya yang beragam pengetahuan dan keterampilannya perlu terus menerus mendapatkan pembaruan. Pada kasus stunting, berbagai penelitian menunjukkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader terkait stunting dan upaya pencegahannya sebagian besar belum baik, karena itu upaya peningkatan kapasitas kader posyandu penting dilakukan. Pada bulan Juli 2018 dilakukan pelatihan peningkatan kapasitas kader posyandu mendeteksi dan mencegah stunting di Desa Cipacing Kecamatan Jatinangor Kabupaten Sumedang. Pelatihan ini merupakan rangkaian pengabdian masyarakat yang terintegrasi Kuliah Kerja Nyata Mahasiswa Universitas Padjadjaran yang dilaksanakan pada periode April - Juli 2018. Kegiatan pelatihan pada 42 orang kader posyandu dari 18 RW tersebut dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahap yaitu sosialisasi program, persiapan dan pelaksanaan pelatihan, menggunakan pendekatan model deduktif, materi pelatihan disusun berdasar data pengamatan lapangan yang kemudian didiskusikan dengan narasumber ahli. Setelah pelatihan kader posyandu dapat memahami mengenai gizi seimbang, deteksi dini stunting dan peran penting kader posyandu menginformasikan gizi optimal pada 1000 HPK sebagai upaya pencegahan stunting serta mengidentifikasi faktor risiko penyebab stunting di wilayah kerja posyandu. Diharapkan peningkatan kapasitas ini dibuat sebagai pelatihan berkesinambungan bersifat periodik dan terprogram dengan baik.
Background: Non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has the highest prevalence among hematologic malignancies. The prognosis and response to therapy in NHL patients may worsen in the presence of malnutrition. The aim of the study was to describe the malnutrition status in NHL patients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Nutritional status was assessed using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) obtained from the medical records of all NHL patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital registered in 2017. Results: In total, there were 78 medical records of NHL patients that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. All NHL patients had experienced malnutrition, categorized as mild-moderate malnutrition (70.5%) and severe malnutrition (29.5%). In NHL patients with mild-moderate malnutrition, 29% had 5-10% weight loss; 60% had suboptimal solid diet; 56.4% experienced anorexia; and 50.9% had subcutaneous fat loss. In NHL patients with severe malnutrition, 78.3% had more than 10% weight loss; 73.9% had suboptimal solid diet; 78.3% experienced anorexia; and 100% had subcutaneous fat loss. Conclusions: Based on subjective assessment, all NHL patients were malnourished and experienced change of food intake and loss of subcutaneous fat, therefore, a better nutritional support scheme are crucial for NHL patients.
Background: Nutrition is still a global health issue, and improving nutrition is among the targets of the Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs). One of Indonesia's SDGs indicators is to reduce prevalence of malnutrition in children. Indonesia, as a developing country, implements a comprehensive malnutrition treatment program for children, including various aspects related to management of children with acute malnutrition. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the outcome of children hospitalized with acute severe malnutrition. Methods: This cross sectional study enrolled 195 children with severe acute malnutrition, admitted to hospital from November 2016 to August 2017. Statistical Analysis was conducted using multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with the outcome. Adjusted Ratio with Confident Interval 95% and the value of P <0 .05 was considered significant. Result: A total of 195 children were diagnosed havings acute severe malnutrition. A history of complete immunization status (p value <0.001) was proved to be directly proportional to the recovery rate of patients with acute severe malnutrition. Provision of other types of antibiotic (p value 0.001) showed to increase recovery rates of patients with acute severe malnutrition. Several comorbid diseases reduced recovery rates such as pneumonia (Crude OR 0.619) tuberculosis (Crude OR 0.606) and HIV (p value 0.08). Conclusions: This study shows that although the provided treatments are appropriate with the standard treatment for severe malnutrition, they still encounter high levels of morbidity. Further large-scale studies should be conducted to develop better interventions and management of acute severe malnutrition, in order to achieve better outcome.
Background. Stunting is a major health problem in developing countries. Animal-based supplements can increase the height of children with stunting. This study was aimed at determining the effect of eel biscuit supplementation on increase in the height of children with stunting aged 36–60 months. Methods. A pilot study with pretest-post-test design. The study was conducted in two villages in the Priangan Region, West Java Province, Indonesia. The participants were divided into two groups: intervention group (10 supplemented eel biscuit pieces) and control group (biscuits from the government’s biscuit programme). A total of 56 children aged 36–60 months with the height-for-age z-score of <−2 SD were recruited voluntarily for sampling. Results. The initial height-for-age z-score of the intervention group was −3.45 SD and that of the control group was −3.11 SD. After 3 months of supplemented eel biscuit consumption, the height-for-age z-score of the intervention group changed to −2.52 SD and that of the control group changed to −2.51 SD. The average shift of the height-for-age z-score after 3 months of supplemented eel biscuit consumption was 0.93 SD in the intervention group and 0.6 SD in the control group. There were significant differences in delta and percent increase in the height-for-age z-score between both groups. Conclusions. Consumption of supplemented eel biscuits for 3 months increased the height-for-age z-score of children with stunting aged 36–60 months by 0.93 SD.
The aim of this study is to develop and assess the validity of the Iron-Food Frequency Questionnaire (Iron-FFQ) in assessing the iron intake of reproductive age women. This cross-sectional study involved randomly selected female under graduate students at Jantinangor, Sumedang district, West Java (n=94) as respondents. The validity test compared the iron intake using Iron-FFQ with the 3-Days Food Diary (FD). The iron contents of each food from both methods were obtained from Indonesian Food Composition Table (2017). Iron contents were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and Spearman's rank correlation. The results showed significant correlation in iron content between Iron FFQ and the 3 Days FD with r=0.25 for the tubers, nuts, and vegetables group, and r=0.21 for milk and fish (p<0.05). While, statistically non-significant correlations were found for the rest of the food groups (cereal, meat, poultry, eggs, fruits, fats, sugar, syrup, confectionary, and spices) with r ranged from r=0.19 to r=0.01. The average assessment value using Iron-FFQ was lower than the 3-Days Food Diary, especially in the food and beverages group (-100%), sugar, syrup, and confectionary (-93.8%), and vegetables (-88.5%). In conclusion, Iron-FFQ can be declared valid for measuring iron intake from some food group such as starchy tubers, fish, shellfish and shrimp, nuts, vegetables, and milk as they have an acceptable correlation value.
Background: Hypovitaminosis D is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This conditionmay increase CKD progression and cause various complications, since kidney has a pivotal role in metabolizing the vitamin D. The aim of this study was to find the difference in vitamin D levels among CKD stage 3 to 5. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving patients aged over 18 years with CKD stage 3 to 5 who visited Dr.
