Pengaruh Pemberian Omlet Daun Katuk Terhadap Kejadian Kurang Energi Kronis (KEK) pada Ibu Hamil di Puskesmas Bukit Kemuning

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a nutritional problem in pregnant women which is currently a nutritional problem in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) explains that the prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in general in pregnancy is 35% to 75% (Abadi Putri, 2020). Lampung Province, KEK pregnant women is 13.62%, while in North Lampung Regency it is 9.92% (Riskesdas, 2018). The aim of this research is to find out whether there is an effect of giving katuk leaf omlet on the incidence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women at the Bukit Kemuning Community Health Center. This type of research uses a quasi-experimental method (quassy experiment) with a one group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study was all pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), namely 16 pregnant women. The sampling technique uses the total sampling method. Data were collected using observation sheets and body weight measurements using digital scales and LILA measurements using LILA tape. The statistical tests used were the paired test to the T-Test and the Wilcoxcon Test. The results of the study. Giving katuk leaf omlet affected the weight of KEK pregnant women at the Bukit Kemuning Community Health Center (p-value = 0.000) and giving katuk leaf omelette had an effect on the LILA of KEK pregnant women in Bukit Kemuning Community Health Center (p-value = 0.027). Giving katuk leaf omelette for 30 days had an effect on the incidence of KEK at the Bukit Kemuning Community Health Center. In this research, it is hoped that health workers can provide mothers with the ability to consume nutritious food, and can introduce other local PMT which are consumed by pregnant women. Pregnant women with CED must consume food according to their needs to meet their nutritional intake.

Food poverty as a barrier for a healthy and climate-friendly nutrition in Austria

Abstract Background The food system plays a crucial role in promoting healthy and climate-friendly living. One fundamental aspect is accessibility. However, in Austria, there is a lack of systematic and regularly conducted studies on food system accessibility. To address this gap, a comprehensive study on food poverty has been conducted for the first time in Austria. Methods We used a mixed methods approach, combining expert workshops, a representative questionnaire survey (n = 2004) using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES), and focus groups (n = 20) with affected individuals. Results Approximately 12 percent of people living in Austria are affected by moderate and/or severe food poverty. These individuals struggle to afford sufficient quantities and quality of food due to financial constraints or limited access in general. Over four percent experience severe food poverty, leading to skipped meals or even days without food. People affected by food poverty would like to focus more on healthy shopping and quality of food (prioritizing fresh food over cheap high-processed food). The biggest hurdles relate to a lack of financial resources, too little time and a lack of affordable (healthy and climate-friendly) options. Conclusions Food poverty is a phenomenon in Austria that has received little attention to date. Public discourse often attributes nutritional problems to information gaps or individual competence, neglecting the impact of structural conditions. Addressing food poverty requires holistic approaches that avoid stigmatization. Recognizing it as a social, health, climate, and agricultural policy concern necessitates robust monitoring and considering the social and environmental aspects of nutrition holistically.

Providing Advanced Processed Food in an Effort to Reduce Stunting Rates in Sigar Penjalin Village

Stunting is a nutritional problem in Indonesia for toddlers and toddlers which is characterized by a height that is shorter than the average age of other children, apart from that, a body weight that is not appropriate for age also affects the child's growth and development, so the child is said to be stunted. There are several problems that cause children to become stunted, not from the age of one year or 2 years, but from within the womb, such as a child in the stomach lacking nutrition and when the child is born, the child does not receive exclusive breast milk from the mother, so the nutrition of the food consumed is not paid attention to by the mother. it will be difficult for the child to develop. Stunting is also a common form of malnutrition in children. How to care is the most important thing to avoid inhibiting growth and development in children. This research aims to determine the number of stunting in toddlers and toddlers aged 20-49 months, and to seek changes to reduce the number of stunted children from the total data of 128 children in Sigar Penjalin village. This research uses qualitative research with a case study approach. Data was obtained by means of in-depth interviews and observations on 40 target children by collecting key information from the B2SA Sigar Penjalin food house, nutrition officers, and posyandu cadres, in areas throughout the Sigar Penjalin village hamlets. The results of the research using in-depth interviews were carried out in collaboration with Rumah Pangan B2SA Sigar Penjalin, following their program, namely providing 4 healthy 5 perfect breakfasts to 40 targets over a period of 3 times a week, 60 times. And our efforts are 6 times providing further preparations (providing vegetables as further preparations at home for children targeted at reducing stunting). Overall, it is hoped that the local government can pay more attention to the community to find out the causes of stunting earlier

Implementing Dynamic Systems Development Method for a Web-Based System to Evaluate Child Health and Growth

The Simpang Gambir UPTD Community Health Center has developed an innovative digital system to monitor the growth of toddlers. Previously, the recording of toddler growth data was done manually, often leading to data loss or damage. This new system is designed to address these issues and provide a more efficient and accurate solution. The system not only facilitates health center staff and posyandu cadres in monitoring toddler development but also assists them in creating digital growth reports. With this system, toddler growth data can be accessed quickly and easily, facilitating decision-making regarding child health management. One of the key features of this system is its ability to track toddler growth based on weight-for-age charts. This feature allows health workers to easily identify toddlers with nutritional problems and promptly provide necessary interventions. Additionally, the system is equipped with a fast data search feature, enabling staff to easily find specific toddler growth data. The development of this system utilizes the Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM), allowing for a structured and efficient development process. With this method, the system can be developed rapidly and in accordance with user needs.

The Effectiveness of Temulawak (Curcuma Xanthorriza) Plus Honey in Increasing Children Under Five Years’ Body Weight

While the control group just received 250 gr powdered Temulawak mixed with 125 cc mineral water. All the subjects drank two times in every day (morning and evening before eating) lasts for 30 days. Body weight was measured before and after the treatment. Independent t-test was employed to test the difference mean of body weight in treatment and control group. Results: The study resulted that the average mean in the treatment group was 1.247 kg while in the control group was 0.393 kg. There was difference mean of body weight gain between treatment and control groups. The treatment group resulted the body weight gain statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusions: This study approved that Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorriza) plus honey effective in increasing children under five years old body weight. It is strongly recommended to give Temulawak plus honey for children who have loss of appetite to prevent them from malnourished status.

Analysis of Nutritional Composition of the Pearl Oyster Pinctada radiata as a New Mediterranean “Bioresource” for Human Consumption

Protein intake inadequacy has been considered to be one of the major nutritional problems worldwide for many years and it appears that this issue will continue to increase sharply in the coming decades. This deficiency can be partly overcome by the effective use of protein-rich bioresources such as mollusks. In the present study, the oyster Pinctada radiata, collected from the Aegean Sea, is fully nutritionally characterized as a new non-indigenous bioresource concerning mainly its protein, carbohydrate and fat composition during the different seasons of the year. The results showed that the protein content of the pearl oyster is at satisfactory levels, with its maximum value in winter and minimum in summer. On the contrary, its fat and carbohydrates are at low levels, with their maximum values in the summer period. Regarding the profile of fatty acids, polyunsaturated fats are in the highest proportion, which is very encouraging, as a diet rich in this kind of fat is desired. The entire nutritional profile of the studied oyster demonstrates its high nutritional value and supports its possible use as a “new” seafood source for human consumption in the Mediterranean.

Technique of functional simulation as a tool for providing the required quality of fortified bakery products

Relevance. The problem of irrational and unbalanced nutrition is relevant for almost all regions of Russia. There is a need to enrich everyday products with micronutrients that are of particular importance in the diet. Fortified bread and bakery products with specified consumer properties in the diet can be one of such valuable products.Methods. The methodology of structural analysis and design of systems (Structured Analysis and Design Technique, SADT) is often used in life cycle management of complex high-tech products and has not found wide application in the food industry. The authors substantiate the need to introduce tools for functional and graphical modeling of business processes that implement the SADT methodology in life cycle management to ensure the quality of finished bakery products.Results. An original generalized functional and logical model of the process “To produce enriched bread (bakery products) with regionally significant micronutrients” has been developed. The analysis of the technology of enriched bakery products, carried out at various levels of decomposition of the process, revealed that the quality of the finished product is significantly influenced by the choice of the technological stage of applying the components of the mixture proposed for the enriching composition. It has been established that preference should be given to organic forms of additives — components of the enriching composition. To preserve the nutritional properties of bakery products, an enriching composition is proposed to be applied to the surface of the finished product. The proposed method has been tested in experimental production conditions. Its manufacturability and controllability of the proposed technical solutions are proved. The approach to functional and graphical modeling of food technologies developed by the authors on the example of bakery products opens up prospects for improving the quality of finished products and can be widely used in food engineering.

Nutritional diagnoses in people with type 2 diabetes: association with metabolic, anthropometric, and dietary parameters.

Nutritional diagnosis involves identifying a nutritional problem, its cause, and the signs that indicate it to guide appropriate treatment. Few studies report on the most prevalent nutritional diagnoses in people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D). To define nutritional diagnoses across different domains and their association with metabolic, anthropometric, and dietary parameters in individuals with T2D. A personalized nutritional intervention was conducted using the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) model, which encompasses assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation, utilizing standardized terminology from the Nutrition Care Process Terminology (NCPT). Two dietitians, trained and standardized in applying the NCP and NCPT, performed patient assessments and established the diagnoses. Patients over 18 years old with a diagnosis of T2D for less than 5 years were included. Data from 2,050 patients were analyzed, of whom 55.3% were women, and 44.7% were men, with a median age of 57 and 54 years, respectively. The most prevalent nutritional diagnosis was excessive energy and carbohydrate intake. Diagnoses were distributed across domains: Intake (55.9%), Behavioral/Environmental (32.7%), Clinical (10.2%), and 1.2% without nutritional diagnosis. Significant intergroup differences were observed in anthropometric variables such as BMI, waist circumference, and body fat percentage (p < 0.05). HbA1c and glucose levels were significantly higher in the Intake and Behavioral groups (p < 0.001). Albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) was higher in the ingestion group (p = 0.007). Caloric and carbohydrate intake were higher in the ingestion group, while protein and fat intake were higher in the clinical and behavioral groups (p < 0.001). Nutritional diagnoses in the intake domain, followed by behavioral/ environmental and clinical domains, are highly prevalent in people with T2D and are associated with worse metabolic control, higher BMI, and increased energy and carbohydrate intake. Timely identification of issues in these domains can support targeted nutritional therapy to improve disease management and promote a healthy lifestyle. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02836808?term=caipadi&rank=2, Identifier (NCT02836808).

Nutritional Status of Toddlers Aged 0-59 Months: a Descriptive Study

toddlerhood is called the golden age where a person experiences rapid growth and development. However, in 2022 based on the results of the Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) showed that toddlers with stunting were 21.6%, toddlers with malnutrition were 7.7%, toddlers with undernutrition were 17.1% and toddlers who were obese were 3.5%. The purpose of this study was to describe the nutritional status of toddlers aged 0-59 years in Kedalon Village. The quantitative descriptive research method with observational analytics on data from nutritional status measurements in toddlers aged 0-59 years. The total sample was 192 toddlers in Kedalon Village, the data was subjected to descriptive analysis. The results of toddlers with normal height were 182 (94.79%), short height 7 (3.65%) and very short height toddlers 3 (1.56%). Toddlers with normal weight 164 (85.42%), underweight toddlers 18 (9.37%), overweight toddlers 7 (3.65%) and very underweight toddlers 3 (1.56%). Toddlers based on weight according to height with normal results 163 (84.90%), undernutrition 10 (5.21%), overnutrition 3 (1.56%) and obesity 2 (1,045) and severe malnutrition 2 (1.04%). Toddlers who are identified as having nutritional problems can be given adequate nutritional interventions so that growth and development problems do not occur in the future.

Literature Study: The Role of Health Cadres in Stunting Prevention to Support the Realisation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's)

Introduction: Stunting is one of the chronic nutritional problems of global concern, including in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) agenda. In Indonesia, stunting is still a major health problem and contributor to child morbidity and mortality. To overcome this problem, prevention efforts are needed that involve various parties, including health cadres at the community level. This study aims to analyze the role of health cadres in stunting prevention to support the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's). Methods: This study used a literature study by collecting and reviewing previous research, especially looking for information about the involvement of the role of health cadres in stunting prevention. Results: Health cadres have a role and function as the main driver at the community level to provide education, monitor children's nutritional status, and conduct nutrition intervention activities. Through increased capacity and knowledge, health cadres can help reduce the prevalence of stunting and support the achievement of the SDGs, namely ending hunger and ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all. Conclusion: Support and commitment from all parties are needed to strengthen the role of health cadres in supporting the realization of the SDGs. With the right support and good collaboration, this program can have a significant impact in improving the health and welfare of the community.

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) of Anganwadi Teachers and Asha Workers with Regard to Nutrition Education Intervention

Nutrition is one of the important aspects that deals with good health and wellbeing of people. Nutrition education helps to resolve the nutrition problems by imparting nutrition education and bring desirable changes in terms of Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP). The existing study was conducted to know the knowledge, attitude, and practices of AWW and ASHA’s with regard to nutrition education for pregnant women and lactating mother. Data was gathered using pre-tested questionnaires with a sample size of 90 respondents chosen from three mandals (area) in the Guntur district. Random sampling procedure was used for selection of the respondents. The results of the study found that Anganwadi teachers and ASHA Workers had low to medium level of knowledge, poor attitude and poor practices during baseline test. After implementing intervention programme to the Anganwadi teachers and ASHA Workers for a period of one month a significant improvement in the Knowledge, Attitude and Practices was observed during Endline test (t=10.5; t=10.3). The above findings can be used to plan a digital material on nutrition education interventions which aiming at bringing change in the behavior of the respondents i.e., KAP and it can be used as ready reckoners during sudden epidemics.

Magnitude of multiple drug use and determinants of vulnerability among chronic kidney disease inpatients in Ethiopia: a multi-center study

BackgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease frequently face various nutritional and metabolic problems that necessitate the use of multiple medications. This multiple drug use can lead to several drug-related problems including adverse drug events, hospital admissions, poor medication adherence, harmful drug interactions, inadequate therapeutic outcomes, and death. Despite these challenges, there is a notable lack of studies on the extent of multiple drug use and its determinants among patients with chronic kidney disease in Ethiopia. This study aims to assess the magnitude of multiple drug use and identify the determinants of vulnerability among patients with chronic kidney disease in Ethiopia.MethodA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with chronic kidney disease. Eligible participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Frequency and percentage calculations were performed for categorical variables, while means and standard deviations were used for continuous variables. The chi-square test and t-test were used to compare the proportions and means, respectively. Binary logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of multiple drug use, with statistical significance determined by a p-value of less than 0.05 and a 95% confidence interval. Guidelines and previous literature were utilized to assess the magnitude of multiple drug use.ResultsA total of 230 patients were enrolled, with more than half being male. The overall magnitude of multiple drug use was 83.0%. Diuretics being the most frequently prescribed medication class followed by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. Patients aged 65 years and above (AOR = 4.91 (95% CI 1.60-15.03)), CKD stage five (AOR) = 5.48 (95% CI 1.99–15.09)), and the presence of comorbid conditions (AOR) = 3.53 (95% CI 1.55–8.06)) were significantly associated with multiple drug use.ConclusionChronic kidney disease patients exhibited a high rate of multiple drug use. The presence of comorbid conditions, disease progression and older age are significant determinates of this vulnerability. Health care providers should pay particular attention to these factors to manage and mitigate the risks associated with multiple drug use.

The Analysis of Risk Factors in Toddlers on The Occurrence of Stunting In Pidie

Nutritional issues in toddlers continue to be a primary concern in population settings. Among these issues are stunting, wasting, and overweight (World Health Organization, 2020). Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in developing countries such as Indonesia. Stunting, or chronic malnutrition, is a nutritional issue resulting from prolonged inadequate nutrient intake from food (Andriani et al., 2017). Short stature in toddlers (stunting) is determined by body length or height that is less than -2 SD according to WHO global references for children compared to other children of the same age (World Health Organization, 2013). The global prevalence of stunted toddlers, according to WHO, is 21.9%. According to the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) by the Ministry of Health, the prevalence of stunted toddlers in this province was 31.2% last year. The highest incidence of stunting in Aceh is in Kota Subulussalam, which had the highest prevalence of stunted toddlers in Aceh in 2022, reaching 47.9%. This number jumped 6.1 points from 41.8% in 2021. Pidie Regency, with 27.8%, ranks fifth highest in Aceh. This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 334 toddlers chosen using the Slovin formula. Sampling was conducted randomly among mothers of underweight toddlers in local health center in Pidie Regency, which has a toddler population of 1,979. Statistical software SPSS 23 with Chi-square was used for data analysis. The findings from this study, derived from bivariate statistical analysis using the Chi-square test at a 95% confidence level, yielded a p-value of 0.268 (p &gt; 0.05). This indicates that the Antenatal Care variable does not affect the risk of stunting. For the immunization variable, the test results showed a p-value of 0.515 (p &gt; 0.05), indicating no relationship between immunization and the risk of stunting. For the exclusive breastfeeding variable, a p-value of 0.038 (p &lt; 0.05) was obtained, indicating that exclusive breastfeeding affects the risk of stunting. The maternal nutrition during pregnancy variable resulted in a p-value of 0.037 (p &lt; 0.05), indicating that maternal nutrition affects the risk of stunting. As for the parenting pattern variable, the test resulted in a p-value of 0.007 (p &lt; 0.05), indicating that parenting patterns greatly influence the risk of stunting.

ASPEN survey of parenteral nutrition access issues: How the system fails the patient.

Product shortages and a lack of qualified providers to manage care may impact the safety and efficacy of parenteral nutrition (PN). This survey assessed the frequency and extent to which limitations to PN-related access affects patients. Outpatient/patients receiving home PN were surveyed. Questions were developed to characterize the population and determine the extent and severity of PN access issues with components, devices, healthcare professionals, and transfers of care. Reimbursement issues surveyed included insurance coverage, contribution of healthcare costs to annual income, and the extent to which adjunctive therapy was reimbursed. Burdens surveyed included impact on disease symptoms and medical outcomes as well as the types and frequency of medical or system errors experienced, adverse events, or resultant nutrition problems. Respondents (N = 170) were well educated, rented or owned their own home, and were either employed or retired. All age populations were represented. Patients made frequent contact with care providers. Most were able to manage PN costs but feared losing insurance or changes to insurance. Patients used additional prescribed therapies that are poorly covered by insurance. Patients reported symptoms or exacerbation of disease, development or worsening of malnutrition, and episodes of nutrient deficiency. Patients noted errors occur, especially during periods of transitions of care, when they also often encounter clinicians with little understanding of PN. These are high-acuity patients who have difficulty finding providers for their care. This patient survey provides evidence that access issues can result in the "failure of the PN system" to assure care is consistently safe and effective.

Pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam peningkatan gizi balita melalui olahan produk berbasis pangan lokal jagung di Desa Mekarjaya

Nutritional problems can hinder the momentum of development of Indonesia's golden generation in 2045. Nutritional problems are also related to the availability of food, where local food that is high in nutrients can be used to fulfill the nutrition of children under five. The local food commonly grown in Mekarjaya Village is corn. Therefore, this community service aims to increase the understanding of posyandu cadre mothers and parents of PAUD students regarding the importance of toddler nutrition and provide insight regarding the processing of local corn-based food products. The methods used are observation, lecture, discussion and demonstration. The activity was held on August 28 2023 with 17 participants, namely posyandu cadres and parents of PAUD students. The material is delivered by expert. The demonstration was carried out by providing a practical guide to processing corn into corn juice, corn pudding and corn dregs nuggets. From the results of the activity satisfaction questionnaire, it was found that the time for organizing the activity, preparation and media used were good. The participants were satisfied with the method and clarity of the material.

The history of orphanages in Central Kazakhstan in the 1940–1950s.

In thearticle the functioning of orphanages in Central Kazakhstan during the war and the first years after it based on archival materials and memoirswas analyzed. The focus of the study is orphanages and children/adolescents who were left without families and placed in public care for various reasons (famine, deportations, the Great Patriotic War, evacuation, political repressions and arrests of parents, death of parents, etc.). The children’s contingent and their composition in the regional orphanages, highlighting the main sources of children's enrollmentwere studied by the authors. Authors analyzed children’s material, housing, sanitary and hygienic living conditions. Special attention was paid to health issues and the quality of medical care, problems of nutrition and supply of food and non-food products, education. The authors concluded that a sharp increase in the number of children in orphanages in Central Kazakhstan occurred in the 1940s. The situation in orphanages was extremely difficult: high overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, hunger, diseases, abuse, etc. Detectable improvements were noted only by the mid-1950s. They were explicit in the enhancement of the orphanages’ material conditions: quality of food, clothing, education and general appearance of orphanages and the inmates themselves.

Technological and technical solutions to the problem of basic soil nutrition in the system of precision agriculture in Northern Kazakhstan

Climatic-soil conditions of Kazakhstan allows to produce demanded grain at the international level. However, as a result of low technologies for land cultivation and application of mineral fertilizers, soil fertility decreasesin the production of grain. There is only one way that raises the low fertility of the soil is transfer of missing elements, that is, the application of mineral fertilizers. In the application of minimum and zero technologies of grain production, it is not provided for the introduction of the main amount of mineral fertilizers under the ground and such machines are not producedin the market of agricultural machinery of the CIS countries. At the request of farmers, the production of their subseries has begun.

Body fat percentage, mid-upper arm circumference, and menstrual cycle in female students at x high school

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Irregular menstrual cycle in adolescent girls is an indicator of reproductive organ disorders. One of the risk factor for menstrual cycle disorders is nutritional status problem. Nutritional status can be measured using several anthropometric indicators such as body fat percentage and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives&lt;/strong&gt;: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between body fat percentage and MUAC with the menstrual cycle in girls of X High School Sidoarjo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: The type of this research was cross-sectional. The sample used 66 students with stratified random sampling technique. Body fat percentage was obtained by using the Mi Body Composition Scale 2, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) was measured by using midline, and the menstrual cycle was obtained by using a menstrual cycle questionnaire for the last 3 months. Data were analyzed with Rank Spearman test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that average of body fat percentage was 26.8%, MUAC was 23.8 cm, and menstrual cycle was 35 days. Based on the test of the relationship between body fat percentage and the menstrual cycle, p-value 0.000 (r-value -0.875) were obtained, while MUAC and the menstrual cycle showed p-value 0.000 (r-value -0.916). The higher the body fat percentage, the shorter the menstrual cycle. The smaller the MUAC, the longer the menstrual cycle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions&lt;/strong&gt;: There was a significant relationship between body fat percentage and MUAC with the menstrual cycle within girls in X High School Sidoarjo. Adolescent girls are expected to maintain normal nutritional status in order to maintain the regularity of their menstrual cycle, so as to minimize the risk of infertility in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
