La malnutrition infantile est un problème majeur de santé publique dans les pays à faible revenu. L’objectif de cette étude était d’étudier les facteurs associés à la malnutrition chez les enfants de la naissance à l’âge de cinq ans dans le Groupement Sala, qui est composé de onze villages de la Provence du Kwilu en République Démocratique du Congo : Miah, Muyene, Kimputu, Molili, Mpukumlu, Sala Matadi, Sala Budimbu, Sala Mangaba, Sala Kitambo, Sala Père Père et Sala Wane. Parmi les 50 ménages interrogés et 60 personnes malnutries de tous sexes et de tous villages ont été identifiées, 34% des cas soit 0,34Fr, répartis comme suit : les villages de Miah et Muyene avec 15 cas chacun, soit 25%, contre 8 cas de malnutrition à Sala Wane, soit 13%, suivis de Mpukulu avec 7 cas, soit 11%, par ordre décroissant, Sala Kitambo, Sala Mpère-Mpère, Sala Budimbu, Kimputu, Molili, Sala Matadi et enfin Sala Mangaba. La lutte contre la malnutrition dans le Groupement Sala doit impliquer les parents et les grands-parents (garants de la tradition), pour faire évoluer les comportements nutritionnels des ménages. Elle sera complétée par la stratégie de prise en charge intégrée des maladies de l’enfant, qui sera appliquée dans les établissements de santé.

THE INDUCE DAMAGE TO LIVER AND KIDNEY OF WISTAR RAT BY SPENT VEGETABLE OIL AND THE AMELIORATING POTENTIALS OF COCONUT OIL

It has been a regular practice in this part of the world to continually use spent edible oil and consumed it without knowing the harmful effects of such. Heating results in the formation of free reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is responsible for oxidative stress and changes to various organs in the body. The study aimed at investigating the changes caused on liver and kidney by consumption of repeatedly used (spent) oil and possible ameliorating potential of virgin coconut oil (VCO) on spent vegetable oil-induced liver and kidney changes in Wistar albino rats. Blood samples were obtained and assayed for biomarkers of liver and kidney damage; It was observed that spent vegetable oils induced severe damage on liver and kidney. While administration of virgin coconut oil significantly (p<0.05) reversed the changes induced by the spent oil as observed in the biomarkers AST, ALT, ALP, Urea, Creatinine, Uric acid, Total serum protein, Albumin. These findings suggest that VCO could ameliorate the adverse effect of consumption of spent oil on liver and kidney indices in rats.

Crude fiber is the remainder of plant cell walls that are not hydrolyzed by human digestive enzymes. One fruit that contains fiber is Siamese oranges. Citrus fruit can be used in various types of preparations so that its shelf life is longer. Preserving citrus fruit can be done by processing oranges into orange marmalade. Marmalade is a semi-solid food that has a gel-like texture. Substitution using date juice can be done to increase the nutritional content of orange jam which has decreased due to the heating process during production. Therefore, this study aims to determine the fiber content in the Siam orange jam formulation as a substitute for sukari date juice. This research is an experimental study with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using the crude fiber test using the Weende method. The formulation of orange marmalade is carried out in 3 formulas with a ratio of orange flesh: orange peel and dates, namely F1 (100%:0); F2 (80%: 20%); F3 (85%: 15%). The research results showed that the most preferred formulation was F3 and the formulation with the highest crude fiber content was F3 with a content of 3%, followed by F2 with a content of 2.5% and F1 with a content of 2%.

Background: Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents aged 16-18 years in East Java is 10.2% and 4.7% (SKI, 2023). Data from SSGI in 2022 shows that the prevalence of overweight in adolescents aged 15-18 years in East Java is 23%. This study was conducted on students as an effort to increase knowledge, change attitudes, and energy consumption, one of which is with nutritional interventions in the form of nutrition education. Objective: This study aims to determine the differences in knowledge, attitudes and energy consumption before and after online media-based nutrition education (VitaNutriHealth) in overweight students at SMAN 1 Bululawang Malang. Methods: This study used pre-experimental research with a quantitative approach with the design of One Group Pretest and Posttest Design conducted at SMAN 1 Bululawang Malang with purposive sampling technique and obtained a sample of 50 students. The intervention used was counseling using VitaNutriHealth media. Data collection instruments in the study used questionnaires and 24-hour recall forms. Data analysis used univariate, and bivariate using Paired Sample T-Test if the data is normally distributed and Wilcoxon Signed Test if the data is not normally distributed. Results and Conclusion: There is a significant difference between before and after nutrition counseling on knowledge, attitude and energy consumption of overweight students at SMAN 1 Bululawang Malang (p=0.000).

Abstrak

Latar belakang: Anemia pada ibu hamil banyak terjadi akibat peningkatan kebutuhan zat besi dan peru- bahan fisiologis selama kehamilan. Sekitar 95% kasus anemia pada ibu hamil disebabkan oleh defisiensi zat besi. Konsumsi buah dan sayur yang rendah dapat menurunkan ketersediaan zat besi karena zat besi non-heme dalam makanan ini bergantung pada vitamin C untuk meningkatkan penyerapan dan pemben- tukan hemoglobin. Sebaliknya, zat penghambat seperti tanin dalam teh dapat mengurangi penyerapan zat besi, sehingga berisiko memperburuk anemia pada ibu hamil. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara konsumsi buah, sayur, dan teh dengan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil. Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain ob- servasional Case-control. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Palimanan, Kabupaten Cirebon, pada bulan Januari. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 60 ibu hamil, terdiri dari 30 kelompok kasus dan 30 kelompok kontrol. Pengambilan sampel untuk kelompok kasus menggunakan purposive sampling, sedangkan kelompok kontrol menggunakan random sampling. Data konsumsi buah dan sayur diperoleh melalui Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), sedangkan data konsum- si teh diperoleh melalui Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Anemia dinilai berdasarkan kadar hemo- globin yang diukur menggunakan alat Easy Touch. Hasil: Hasil penelitian berdasarkan uji Chi-square menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi buah, sayur dan teh dengan kejadian anemia tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan dengan kejadian anemia (p>0,05). Simpulan: Penelitian ini tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara konsumsi buah, sayur, dan teh dengan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil.
