Nutrient deficiencies during pregnancy are worsened by poor intake and low adherence to supplementation. This study aimed to assess the impact of a food-based intervention using soy-hydrolysate and iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation on the nutrient intake of pregnant women.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into critical care medicine represents one of the most transformative developments of the modern era, particularly in the domain of nutritional support. Nutrition in critically ill patients is a complex, dynamic, and individualized component of care, intimately linked with outcomes such as morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and recovery trajectories. Historically, the approach to nutritional management in intensive care units (ICUs) has been guided by static protocols, clinician experience, and limited data-driven personalization. However, the advent of AI has heralded a new paradigm—one where algorithms are capable of synthesizing massive volumes of patient-specific and population-level data to optimize nutritional strategies in real-time. This abstract explores the evolving role of AI in the nutritional management of critically ill patients, elucidating its current capabilities, transformative potential, and the nuanced challenges inherent in its implementation.

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) poses a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, contributing to 75% of anemia cases among pregnant women and 42% among children under five years. Clinical diagnosis typically relies on biomarker evaluation, including hemoglobin levels, serum iron concentration, and transferrin saturation. While diagnostic protocols emphasize specificity, population-level screening efforts prioritize sensitivity to effectively identify at-risk individuals.

Previous studies indicated a rising number of university students affected by malnutrition, primarily due to poor diet quality. Considering the growing emphasis on precision nutrition as a strategy to address diverse health needs This study was conducted to assess the eating patterns, evaluate the quality of diets, and determine the association between diet quality and socioeconomic characteristics among students at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a 16-week nutrition intervention that integrated Behavior Change Communication (BCC)-based nutrition education with the provision of local food-based supplementary feeding (≥350 kcal/day) in improving the nutritional status of pregnant women.

Dietary protein is essential for preserving muscle mass and preventing adverse outcomes in a wide range of patient populations. However, achieving sufficient protein intake remains a major challenge, particularly in disease states where requirements are elevated—often double the normal needs—while intake is impaired

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain a leading global health concern, with hyperhomocysteinemia recognized as a contributing metabolic disorder linked to cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative conditions, and developmental anomalies. This presentation explores the pivotal role of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms—particularly C677T and A1298C variants—in disrupting homocysteine metabolism through impaired folate and vitamin B pathways.

Palembang is the city with the highest incidence of anemia in 2023, a condition that linked to maternal malnutrition. Gestational weight gain (GWG) is one of the indicator of maternal nutritional status. One of the factor that may influence the nutritional status is household income because it determines how a person afford their own nutrition. This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted from August to October 2024. Data collection involved body weight measurement using the TANITA BC-601 and structured questionnaires. GWG was calculated as the difference between current body weight and pre-pregnancy weight, then the adequacy of GWG was assessed by comparing current weight with the ideal weight for gestational age. Eligible participants included singleton pregnant women without chronic illnesses who had completed the triple elimination program and received antenatal care at public health centers or private midwifery practices. Data analysis was performed with Chi Square analysis by using SPSS 27th version.

Moringa oleifera (MO) is a plant-based food source that lasts during certain seasons, and some societies still consider it to be known as superfood. The use of MO has been linked up to its inconsistency and advances as a supplementation in resolving maternal anemia and stunted infants. This study aims to synthesize an updated efficacy and safety aspect of MO supplementation in pregnant women and infants.
