The Relationship of Fatty Acid Consumption with Total Cholesterol Level in Coronary Artery Disease Patients

2024-03-14T15:11:41+00:00

Coronary artery disease is one of the significant causes of death and is still a health problem for developed and developing countries. Increased cholesterol in the blood is caused by heredity and high-fat consumption. The effect of dietary fat on artery disease is related to the impact of fatty acid components and cholesterol on blood cholesterol. This study aims to determine the relationship between consumption of Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA), Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA), and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) with total cholesterol levels in patients with coronary artery disease. The research design used was descriptive-analytic in clinical nutrition with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were 405 patients with coronary artery disease at the artery clinic of RSUD Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu. The sample was 32 patients collected using a purposive sampling technique. Using the Chi-Square test, data analysis was used to determine the relationship between the consumption of SFA, MUFA, and PUFA with total cholesterol levels in patients with coronary artery disease. The study's results found a significant relationship between SFA consumption and coronary artery disease. Still, conversely, there was no significant relationship between MUFA and PUFA consumption with total cholesterol level in coronary artery disease patients, namely that SFA consumption was inadequate (p-value = 0.043, OR = 0.407), inadequate MUFA consumption (p-value = 0.710), and inadequate of PUFA consumption (p-value= 0.465). Saturated fatty acids are related to total cholesterol in coronary artery disease while conversely to monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The Effect of Providing Nutritional Counseling on the Level of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Compliance with Fe Tablets Consumption for Pregnant Women with Anemia in the Grogol Community Health Center Area

2024-03-14T15:13:09+00:00

Background: Anemia contributes to maternal mortality during pregnancy, with a 2021 prevalence of 5.02% in Grogol. Non-compliance with Fe tablet consumption is a key factor. Nutritional counseling can effectively improve mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with Fe tablet intake.

Objective: This study examines the impact of nutritional counseling on knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with Fe tablet consumption among anemic pregnant women at Grogol Community Health Center.

Method: Using a pre-experimental one-group pre-post-test design, 35 anemic pregnant women in their second and third trimesters were randomly sampled from clinic records. They received 15-20 minutes of counseling with leaflets. Knowledge and attitudes were assessed via interviews and questionnaires, while compliance was measured using the pill count formula. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test evaluated changes from baseline to post-counseling.

Results: Nutritional counseling increased knowledge (28.60%), attitudes (17.10%), and compliance (22.80%). Significant improvements were found in knowledge (p=0.001), attitude (p=0.001), and Fe tablet compliance (p=0.002).

Conclusion: Nutritional counseling at the Grogol Community Health Center should be provided periodically to carry out promotive and preventive functions in the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.

2024-02-16T14:05:26+00:00

Excessive sugar consumption, primarily through sugar-sweetened beverages, has been linked to the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Ministry of Health of Indonesia recommends that the maximum sugar consumption for the general population not exceed 50 g per day. One type of sugar-sweetened beverage that has been massively distributed in Indonesia is ready-to-drink (RTD) tea and coffee. This study examined the energy and sugar content of the RTD coffee and tea marketed in the modern retail market and their contribution to the Indonesian recommended dietary allowance. This study was conducted in June 2022. Ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee and tea were purchased from five supermarkets and three minimarkets in South Tangerang City, Banten, Indonesia. Data obtained from the product label was recorded and then analysed descriptively. 47 coffee (17 brands) and 58 tea (20 brands) products were obtained during the survey. Most coffee (55.3%) and tea (86.2%) products are distributed in plastic bottles. The median serving size of coffee (240 mL) is slightly smaller than that of tea (250 mL). On average, one serving size of coffee and tea products contributes to 35.7% and 34.8% of the recommended dietary allowance of sugar, respectively. Consumers are advised to take caution while consuming RTD coffee and tea products as they might contribute to excessive sugar consumption. The government must impose regulations to limit sugar content in food and beverage products and increase consumer education to reduce sugar consumption, especially sugar-sweetened products.

Differences in Macronutrient and Micronutrient Intake of Stunted Toddlers in Rural and Urban Areas of Bengkulu Province

2024-03-06T11:35:02+00:00

Stunting prevalence in Kepahiang District is the highest compared to other districts. In Bengkulu, the incidence rate is lower than in other districts. Dietary intake is a direct factor causing stunting. This study examines the differences in macronutrient and micronutrient intake in stunted toddlers in rural and urban areas of Bengkulu Province. The study, with a cross-sectional design, was conducted from August to September 2020. A sample of 134 toddlers aged 12-24 months was selected using accidental sampling. Dietary intake data were collected using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SFFQ), and other data were collected through questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with T-tests and Mann-Whitney tests. Macronutrient intake in stunted toddlers in rural areas was lower than in urban areas. Micronutrient intake in rural areas was also lower than in urban areas, except for vitamin A. Statistically, there were no differences in macronutrient (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and micronutrient (vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc) intake between rural and urban toddler in relation to stunting (p > 0.05). Based on the data obtained, the overall nutrient intake provided to the toddlers has not met the toddlers' nutritional needs. Regular counselling sessions from house to house for mothers with stunted toddlers are necessary. This would enable mothers to understand better their toddlers' dietary needs and how to monitor their growth.
