This study aimed to determine the Glycaemic Index (GI), Glycaemic Response (GR) and Glycaemic Load (GL) of soy flour-based snack bars in healthy volunteers. An open label randomized controlled trial with crossover study design was done involving eighty adults aged 18‒50 years. The glycaemic index was calculated using Incremental Area Under the Blood Glucose Response Curve (iAUC). Friedman’s test was used to determine difference of glucose iAUC between WF and SF. Wilcoxon test was used to determine difference of blood glucose peak, time to blood glucose peak, GI and GR between snack bars. The result observed that median (Q1‒Q3) of GI were 88.4 (42.3‒115.8); WF: 36.6 (21.8‒47.9) (Product SF3, Banana); 36.3 (18.9‒49.2) (Product SF6, Crispy White Chocolate Macadamia); 29.9 (22.0‒43.3) (Product SF5, Crispy Vanilla); 25.9 (17.8‒35.4) (Product SF4; Strawberry); 20.2 (15.3‒22.2) (Product SF1, Almond Chocolate); and 7.1 (5.4‒17.0) (Product SF2, Raisin Almond). We found that GL of WF was (17.7). While, the GL of snack bars made from SF were 4.9 (Product SF3, Banana), 4.1 (Product SF4, Strawberry), 1.9 (Product SF1, Almond Chocolate); 1.8 (Product SF6, Crispy White Chocolate Macadamia), 1.6 (Product SF5, Crispy Vanilla), and 0.9 (Product SF2, Raisin Almond). Friedman statistical test showed significant differences on the blood glucose iAUC between SF and WF (p

Nutrition counseling is used as one of the strategies to improve nutritional status and reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome through information transfer about balanced diet. As part of the community service program, Faculty of Human Ecology, IPB University collaborated with Bogor Municipality Health Office launched a mobile health counseling services in July 2014 to increase access to health services in Bogor, Indonesia, which includes nutrition counseling, detection of non-infectious diseases, HIV detection, and family counseling. The service runs across areas in Bogor city two to three times per month, attracted approximately 50 visitors per run. The program aimed to identify the nutritional status of visitors of mobile health counseling services. Primary data collected in this program were obtained using interview and direct measurement. Counseling was initiated by obtaining age and body height data through interview, while the body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and total body fat was measured using a portable body composition analyzer. Based on data collected between March 2015 and November 2017 (n = 1769) showed that majority of visitors were female (61.8) with largest age group were 40 to 49 years old (23.6) followed by age group of 50 to 59 years old (20.9). Half of the clients (50.4) have a normal nutritional status (BMI 18.5–25 kg/m2), but more than half (61.3) had a percentage of total body fat above normal value. Although the results have not been able to describe the nutritional status profile of Bogor residents, it can be a reference in formulating a nutrition program suitable for healthy populations.

Background: One of the highest nutritional problems in Indonesia is stunting.Cirebon Regency has a stunting prevalence of 25.6%. The prevalence of stunting above 20% is considered high according to the WHO.This study aims to analyze the differences in nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers of children under five before and after nutrition education interventions as well as to analyze nutrient intakes and nutritional status of toddlers before and after being given eggs and milk supplementation. Methods: Pre-experimental study, with one group pre and posttest design. Subjects were 58 toddlers. The intervention given to mothers of toddlers was nutrition education which was carried out in three meetings, and supplementary feeding in the form of eggs and milk for 90 days for toddlers.The data collected consisted of household socio-demographic, toddlers characteristics, nutritional knowledge, attitude and practice, nutrient intakes, nutritional status and hemoglobin levels. Conclusion: Nutrition education interventions increased the nutritional knowledge and practice of mothers with children under five, whiles upplementary feeding for 90 days increased nutrients intake for toddlers but did not improve their nutritional status and did not increase the hemoglobin levels.

Background: Chronic energy malnutrition and anemia are nutritional problems in pregnant women that often occur in developing countries. Nutritional intervention in pregnant women is needed to prevent any nutritional problems in both the mother and the fetus. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nutrition education along with egg and milk supplementation on the knowledge and nutritional attitudes and nutritional status of a pregnant women. Methods: The study design was pre-experimental with one group pretest posttest. Subjects were 45 pregnant women in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Nutritional interventions were given in the form of nutrition education along with egg and milk supplementation for pregnant women (90 days). The data collected consisted of pregnancy history, food consumption, household food security, nutritional knowledge and attitudes, mid upper arm circumference, and hemoglobin levels. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test and Wilcoxon tests.Conclusions: Nutrition education intervention had an effect on increasing nutritional knowledge of pregnant women, and supplementation of egg and milk for three months increased the mid-uppper arm circumference. Nutritional intervention is needed as an effort to prevent chronic energy malnutrition in pregnant women.

Nutrition education among adolescents is lacking in Indonesian schools. Whereas adolescent girls, in particular, need adequate nutrients to prepare them for their future pregnancy which may improve their nutrition status in the long term. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of a teacher-led nutrition education program on the nutrition and anemia status of adolescent girls. A quasi-experimental design was applied in junior high and high schools in Bogor which compared the findings between the intervention (n=112) and the control group (n=129). Teachers in the intervention group received training on health and nutrition for adolescents and were asked to deliver nutrition education for their students for 14 weeks. The control group did not receive any exposure to the topics. The weight, height, and hemoglobin level were measured before and after the program. Paired and independent t-test statistical analysis was used to assess the impact of the intervention for continuous variables and the Chi-Square test was used for categorical data. After the program, although there were no significant improvements in BMI-for-age z-score, however, significant improvements were observed for hemoglobin level among the treatment group. This was consequently shown in the anemia status, where the prevalence of anemia was significantly lower compared to the control group (p

This study aimed to determine the effect of high-protein milk intervention on weight gain and renal function in malnourished children. This research is a randomized controlled trial (RCT). A total of 52 wasting children (BAZ -3

Background : Cirebon Regency is one of the priority areas that becomes the locus in efforts to accelerate the reduction of stunting in 2018. Objective : This study aims to analyze the relationship between feeding parenting pattern with nutrient intake of under two-years infants and the relationship between nutritional behavior and clean and healthy lifestyle behavior (CHLB) with nutritional status of under two-years infants in Cirebon Regency. Methods : This study used a cross-sectional study design using secondary data from previous studies conducted at the same two locations in Cirebon Regency. The data processing was carried out in November to December 2019. The subjects involved were 70 mothers who had infants aged 0-24 months. Analysis of the relationship between variables using the Rank Spearman test. Results : The results of the correlation test showed that there was no significant relationship (p> 0.05) between feeding parenting pattern with nutritional intake. In addition, maternal nutritional behavior also did not have a significant relationship (p> 0.05) with nutritional status. This study found that there was a significant relationship between clean and healthy living behavior on the indicators of a smoke-free home environment with the nutritional status using HAZ index. Conclusion : Imbalance between knowledge and socio-economic factors of income can lead to inequality in the application of feeding parenting pattern, nutritional behavior, and CHLB to the nutritional status of under two years. Therefore, a continuous monitoring and evaluation system is needed to ensure that the stunting acceleration program runs effectively and efficiently. ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Kabupaten Cirebon merupakan salah satu daerah prioritas yang menjadi lokus dalam upaya percepatan penurunan stunting pada tahun 2018. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pola asuh makan dengan asupan zat gizi baduta serta hubungan antara perilaku gizi dan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat dengan status gizi baduta di Kabupaten Cirebon. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi cross-sectional dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari penelitian sebelumnya yang dilakukan pada dua lokasi yang sama di Kabupaten Cirebon. Proses pengolahan data dilakukan pada bulan November hingga Desember 2019. Subjek yang terlibat adalah 70 orang ibu baduta yang memiliki bayi berusia 0-24 bulan. Analisis hubungan antar variabel menggunakan uji Rank Spearman . Hasil: Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan (p >0,05) antara pola asuh makan dengan asupan zat gizi. Selain itu, perilaku gizi ibu juga tidak memilki hubungan yang signifikan (p>0,05) dengan status gizi. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat pada indikator lingkungan rumah bebas asap rokok terhadap status gizi baduta. Kesimpulan: Ketidakseimbangan antara pengetahuan dengan faktor sosio-ekonomi penghasilan dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya ketimpangan dalam penerapan pola asuh makan, perilaku gizi, dan PHBS terhadap status gizi baduta. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sistem monitoring dan evaluasi secara kontinu untuk memastikan bahwa program percepatan stunting berjalan secara efektif dan efisien.
