Alzheimer's disease is one of the leading causes of dementia caused by a progressive decline in cognitive function. In Indonesia, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease continues to increase from year to year. Nutritional intake and physical activity are associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease. The objectives are to describe the intake of macronutrients, micronutrients, and cognitive function of the elderly and to analyze the relationship between intake of macronutrients and micronutrients with cognitive function. The research design used cross-sectional. The subject was 60 older women who met the inclusion criteria. The data collected in primary data include characteristics, intake of macronutrients, and micronutrients (fiber, folic acid, vitamin B12) using 24-hour Food Recall; cognitive function data using the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire depression level data using the Geriatric Depression Scale questionnaire. The relationship between nutritional intake and cognitive function was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The average intake of macronutrients except for fat and micronutrients of the subjects was in the lower category. There was a significant relationship between fiber and folic acid intake with cognitive function (P<0.01). As many as 53.33% of the elderly have a normal cognitive function, and the rest (46.67%) have impaired cognitive function, ranging from mild to severe. There is a significant relationship between fiber and folic acid intake with cognitive function.

Study causes of chronic energy deficiency of pregnant in the rural areas

Background: Chronic energy deficiency (CED) is one of the malnutrition problems that often occurs in pregnant, caused by lack of energy in a long period of time. One of the effects of pregnant suffering from CED is to increase the risk of maternal and short baby mortality.Method: The study was conducted in 8 villages of Kemranjen Subdistrict, Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia in 2019. A cross sectional research design with population is that has pregnant. A sample of 130 pregnant was taken incidentally, with inclusion criteria that be able to do interviews and anthropometric measurements, while as the exclusion criterion was that pregnant were suffering from illness that could not be measured.Results: Most of the age was over 30 years and 9.2% suffered from CED. Nutrient intake is mostly less than 80.0% of the nutrition adequacy rate (RDA). The average intake of macro nutrients is 28.05%, the average micronutrient intake is 27.70%. Most graduated were from high school, worked as housewives, consumed supplements, additional food, and added blood tablets and drank milk, suffered from upper respiratory infections (ARI), high blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus, did not get complete immunizations.Conclusion: There were no significant differences in CED based on energy intake (p=1.00), protein intake (p=1.00), fat intake (p=0.179) and carbohydrate intake (p=0.460), work status (p=0.216) and education (p=0.553) and consuming additional food (p=0.225).
