“…However, the results showed that both ODM and ODF had a better level of physical activity and psychological state than PDM and PDF, respectively, with the differences being significant in competence in the case of females and relatedness in the case of males. Regarding the level of physical activity, the results were similar to those from previous research, in which adolescents with a higher AMD showed a higher level of physical activity [ 80 ]. This could be because one of the main determinants for adopting other healthy lifestyle habits during adolescence is the practice of physical activity [ 81 ].…”

Adolescence is a crucial stage in human development, and differences in psychological, physical and body composition variables between males and females have been amply demonstrated. However, the role played by certain healthy habits, such as the practice of physical activity, adherence to the Mediterranean diet (AMD) or the maintenance of an adequate weight status, in compensating for the differences found between males and females in these variables, is not well known. For this reason, the study aimed to analyze whether the practice of physical activity, optimal AMD, and adequate weight status can compensate for the differences between adolescent males and females in anthropometric variables, psychological state, and physical fitness. The sample was composed of 791 adolescents (404 males and 387 females) aged twelve to sixteen years old, whose anthropometric, psychological (autonomy, competence, relatedness, and life satisfaction), and physical fitness variables (cardiorespiratory fitness, upper strength and explosive lower limb power, hamstring and lower back flexibility, and speed) were measured. All measurements were carried out in a single day using the sports pavilion of the four participating schools. The most novel results of this research show that the practice of physical activity was determinant mainly in females, as it reduced the differences found in comparison with males in psychological (p < 0.001–0.045) and anthropometric variables (p < 0.001). Regarding weight status and AMD, these were still relevant for the adolescent population, mainly the achievement of optimal AMD, but males continued to present higher values in physical fitness tests (p < 0.001) and lower values in fat accumulation (p < 0.001), regardless of weight status or AMD. Thus, physical activity seems to be the most determining factor that compensates for the differences between adolescent boys and girls.

“…Selanjutnya dilakukan analisis risiko PTM berdasarkan varibel yang telah diukur. Adapun tingkat risiko PTM dilihat dari kombinasi antara indeks massa tubuh (IMT) dan rasio lingkar pinggang terhadap tinggi badan atau waist-height ratio (WHtR) (Bibiloni et al, 2022) Tabel 3 menunjukkan dengan jelas bahwa setelah dilakukan analisis lebih lanjut, ternyata hampir 40% mahasiswa memiliki risiko yang tinggi untuk menderita PTM, dengan 10% diantaranya bahkan memiliki risiko yang sangat tinggi. Hal ini sangat mengkhawatirkan terutama jika mengingat bahwa mahasiswa adalah masa depan daerah ini dan mahasiswa juga merupakan kelompok yang berpotensi untuk terabaikan sebagai target penerima layanan program Kesehatan.…”

“…Hasil penelitian sebelumnya menyebutkan bahwa remaja yang masuk dalam kategori berisiko tinggi dan sangat tinggi berdasarkan indikator gabungan antara IMT dan rasio lingkar pinggang terhadap tinggi badan (WHtR) memiliki karakteristik yang mendukung munculnya PTM. Karakteristik tersebut antara lain tingkat aktivitas yang tidak sesuai anjuran, menggunakan gadget lebih dari 2 jam per hari, memiliki pola makan yang tidak sehat, serta memiliki skor perilaku obesogenic yang tinggi (Bibiloni et al, 2022). Di Indonesia sendiri, factor risiko PTM pada remaja adalah tingkat aktivitas fisik yang tidak sesuai anjuran, konsumsi sayur dan buah yang rendah, konsumsi minuman ringan dan makanan cepat saji yang tinggi (Rachmi et al, 2020;Rosdewi et al, 2020).…”

In 2019 non-communicable diseases (NCDs) were the cause of 62,6% of deaths in low-middle-income countries. These groups of diseases are the manifestation of the unhealthy lifestyle of an individual. Nutritional status, activity level, environmental sanitation, smoking, and alcohol drinking habits are the risk factors for NCDs, which have been adopted since adolescence. College students, the group of people who are between late adolescence and young adults period, are at high risk of being neglected as a target in health programs. Therefore, community service was held by Puskesmas Kampung Baru (PKM KB), collaborating with Poltekkes Kemenkes Palu Prodi D-III Keperawatan Luwuk. The aims of this community service are to provide health services for college students and to analyze their risk of having NCDs in later life through a series of anthropometric measurements. There were 96 college students as participants. The average height is 154,4 cm, weight is 53,6 kg, and waist circumference is 75,4 cm. Further analyses show that 40% of the participants were at high and very high risk of developing NCDs. With this result, support from stakeholders such as local health authorities and College institution is needed to ensure that college students are included as targets in health programs, especially in NCDs prevention programs. Abstrak Pada tahun 2019 sebesar 62,6% kematian di negara-negara berkembang disebabkan oleh penyakit tidak menular (PTM). Penyakit tidak menular merupakan manifestasi dari pola hidup yang tidak sehat dari seseorang. Status gizi, tingkat aktivitas, sanitasi lingkungan, kebiasaan merokok dan minum alcohol merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya PTM, dimana faktor risiko ini biasanya telah diadopsi oleh individu tersebut sejak masih remaja. Mahasiswa, yang masih dalam periode remaja dan dewasa awal, merupakan kelompok yang sangat berpotensi untuk terabaikan dalam hal sasaran program kesehatan. Melihat hal tersebut, Puskesmas Kampung Baru (PKM KB) bekerjasama dengan Poltekkes Kemenkes Palu Prodi D-III Keperawatan Luwuk melakukan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) melalui pelayanan kesehatan terhadap mahasiswa dari perguruan tinggi yang ada di wilayah kerja PKM KB. Tujuannya adalah untuk mendeteksi risiko PTM pada mahasiswa melalui pengukuran antropometri. Hasil pengukuran pada 96 mahasiswa menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata mahasiswa yang diukur berusia 19,25 tahun, memiliki tinggi badan 154,4 cm, berat badan 53,6 kg, dan memiliki lingkar perut 75,4 cm. Analisis lebih lanjut menunjukkan hampir 40% mahasiswa memiliki risiko yang tinggi dan sangat tinggi untuk menderita PTM. Dengan hasil ini disarankan agar adanya peningkatan dukungan otoritas Kesehatan setempat dan institusi Pendidikan tempat mahasiswa menimba ilmu dalam upaya untuk menyertakan mahasiswa sebagai target pelayanan program Kesehatan terutama program pencegahan PTM.

“…As consequence, most children of western populations do not achieve the dietary goals of nutritional guidelines [11,12]. Spain is not an exception [13,14]. A recent study pointed out that ultra-processed foods have replaced fresh foods in the dietary pattern of Spanish children in last years [13].…”

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of a new nutritional intervention focused on improving the quality of the diet in children aged 6 to 12 years. METHODS A 2-month parallel, controlled randomized trial was conducted. Children were randomized to ALINFA nutritional intervention which consisted of a normocaloric diet that incorporates products, ready-to-eat meals and healthy recipes specifically designed for the study, or to a control group, who received usual advice on healthy eating. Primary outcome of this study was diet quality, that was assessed with the KIDMED index. Secondary outcomes were anthropometry, body composition and biochemistry variables, and changes in diet and lifestyle. RESULTS In total, 55 volunteers completed the intervention, 44 on the intervention group and 11 in the control group. Mean score in the KIDMED index increased in the intervention group. Besides, a decrease in the intake of calories, total, saturated and monounsaturated fat, together with cholesterol and an increase in fiber intake were observed in intervention group. Regarding food groups, we observed a higher intake of white fish, pulses, whole grains and nuts and a lower intake of fatty meat, refined grains, pastries, fast food, sugars, and sweetened foods. Moreover, a significant decrease in BMI, BMI z-score, waist circumference and fat mass were observed. In biochemical variables, a reduction in LDL-cholesterol and leptin were observed. Participants in the control group did not report significant changes in diet quality, although an increase in weight, lean and muscular mass and insulin were observed. CONCLUSION The ALINFA nutritional intervention was effective to increase diet quality in children, which was associated with improvements on anthropometry.
