Nutrient intakes and nutritional status of children of Samin indigenous people in Indonesia

Undernutrition is still a problem in the world. In Indonesia, the problem of undernutrition is high especially underweight, stunting and wasting among children under five years old. Some indigenous people usually have lower economical levels, educational levels and health status compared to the rest of the population and as a result indigenous people are usually prone to malnutrition. Samin is one example of indigenous people in Indonesia. The main objective of this study was to compare nutrient intakes and nutritional status of children under five years in Closed and Opened Samin indigenous people in Indonesia. Closed Samin people tend to hold on to their culture firmly and are less receptive to some government programs, while Opened Samin tend to be more receptive to government programs. This was a cross-sectional study design. Participants were selected by snowball sampling technique; 120 households with children under five years were selected. Food consumption of the children was collected through direct interviews using 1x24 hours recall procedure. Nutritional status was assessed by weighing the children’s body weights. Children’s anthropometric data were analyzed using the WHO Anthro Plus software. T-test and Mann-Whitney were used to analyze the difference between groups. The study showed that nutrient intakes (energy, protein, vitamin A, iron and calcium) of children in Closed Samin were significantly lower than those in Opened Samin (p&lt;0.05). The vitamin C intake of both groups was not significantly different (p&gt;0.05). The mean of energy, vitamin C and calcium intake in both groups did not meet Indonesian Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Based on the RDA reference, protein and vitamin A adequacy of children in Closed Samin and Opened Samin were sufficient. Iron adequacy was different in Closed Samin classified as inadequate, whereas Opened Samin was normal. The prevalence of underweight in Closed Samin was 49%, while in Opened Samin it was 21%. The weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ) of children in both groups showed significant differences (p=0.006) with mean z-score -1.8±1.4 for Closed Samin and -1.1±1.4 for Opened Samin. In conclusion, the mean of nutrient intakes and nutritional status of children in Opened Samin was higher than Closed Samin. That was due to the household economic levels and maternal nutritional knowledge, which was also higher in Opened Samin. The local government must find the best approach in resolving problems related to child nutrition of Closed Samin indigenous people and be more active to encourage participation in government programs

This study aims to: formulate operational concepts to measure the level of household food endurance, to analyze indicators of household food endurance in terms of aspects of education, economics, and food consumption, identify the characteristics of households that experienced food unendurance. Household sample was pre-prosperous, prosperous I, prosperity II, prosperous III, and prosperous III +. Selection random sample coated with proportional allocation. Types of data collected include demographic characteristics of household, ownership of land, the economic characteristics of households, household social characteristics. Based on discriminant analysis, it found five variables that can be indicators of household food enduracnce is the wife of education backgaround, ownership of chickens, the frequency of eating rice consumption , cassava consumption frequency and the frequency of consumption of salted fish. The higher the wife's education, the more resistant the household food. While ownership of the chicken and salted fish consumption is indicated that is the opposite of more domesticated chickens and the higher the frequency of consumption of salted fish is the household food unendurance. Striking characteristic is the average frequency of consumption of salted fish, the frequency of household consumption of food endurance just 0.7 times per week, while the household does not endurance as much food frequency 3.9 times per week

Pengaruh Pemberian Suplemen Selenium Dan Iodium Terhadap Status Gizi, Skor IQ Dan Jumlah Tanda Khas Kretin Pada Anak Sekolah Dasar

Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) and Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is still a public health problem in school-aged children living in endemic area. This study was aimed to investigate some biochemical parameters, nutritional status and IQ score in children in endemic area of Boyolali Regency, Central Java. Before and after quasi experimental study design was implemented. A number of 115 school-aged children (9-12 years) with iodine deficiency, PEM problem and attributed to 6-10 sign of cretinism were selected as study sample. Sampling was conducted by using random sampling procedure. The Group of treatment were selenium supplement (n=34), iodine supplement (n=35), selenium and iodine (n=18) and placebo (n=28). The study found that selenium, iodine, selenium and iodine supplement intervention were significantly reduce the stunted (p=0.04, r=0.587) and underweight (p=0.01, r=0.87). Selenium and iodine were able to improved IQ score of those who were deficient with IQ score under 20 (14.8% student) to IQ score 20-35. The children with very severe deficiency of iodine and selenium (17.4%) and IQ score under 20 could be corrected by iodine supplement and IQ score increased to 20-35. A reduction of the cretinism attributes were found among the children after intervention (from 6-11 sign to 5-10 sign). Anomaly of erythrocytes and leucocytes were found to be associated with severity of stunted and underweight, number of attributes and deficiency level of selenium and iodine

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengevaluasi peranan paparan sinar matahari pada wanita usia subur terhadap status vitamin D dan tekanan darah. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen tanpa kelompok kontrol pada 21 wanita sehat. Penelitian ini membandingkan status vitamin D dan tekanan darah sebelum dan setelah mendapat paparan sinar matahari pada wajah dan lengan tiga kali seminggu selama 12 minggu. Analisis data menggunakan uji t-berpasangan. Paparan sinar matahari dapat meningkatkan vitamin D. Serum 25(OH)D meningkat 15,9% dari 15.7 ng/dL menjadi 18,2 ng/dL. Paparan sinar matahari menurunkan tekanan darah sistolik (nilai p = 0,004) dan diastolik (nilai p = 0,011). Ultraviolet B dari sinar matahari 30 menit tiga kali seminggu selama 12 minggu dapat memperbaiki status vitamin D dan tekanan darah.Ultraviolet B sunlight exposure is a primary source of vitamin D, but women of childbearing age who worked in room every day had low serum vitamin D despite Indonesia is a tropical country. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of sun exposure in women of childbearing age on vitamin D status, and blood pressure. An intervention before-after study without group control was conducted on 21 healthy women. This study compared vitamin D status, and blood pressure before and after receiving ultraviolet B (UVB) from sun exposure on the face and both arms three times a week for 12 weeks. Anthropometric parameter and blood pressure were measured, were determined at baseline and after 12 weeks of sun exposure. The effect of sun exposure can improve vitamin D. Serum 25 (OH)D increase 15.9% from 15.7 ng/dL to 18.2 ng/dL. Sun exposure significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (p value = 0.004), and diastolic blood pressure (p value = 0.011). Ultraviolet B from sun exposure for 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 12 weeks improves the vitamin D status, and blood pressure

The Supplementation Effects of Iron and Folic Acid Compared with the Multivitamin and Mineral on Female Workers of Childbearing Age in the Pineapple Agribusiness

Female workers of childbearing age (WUS) as a major of&nbsp; human&nbsp; resources&nbsp; in&nbsp; many&nbsp; agribusiness&nbsp; exposed&nbsp; to&nbsp; anemia.&nbsp; This&nbsp; study&nbsp; aims&nbsp; to&nbsp; improve&nbsp; the&nbsp; iron&nbsp; status&nbsp; of&nbsp; anemic WUS&nbsp; workers&nbsp; with low&nbsp; hemoglobin (Hb) levels,&nbsp; who&nbsp; work in a pineapple agribusiness by&nbsp; iron supplementation. This study&nbsp; was&nbsp; conducted&nbsp; two&nbsp; periods,&nbsp; using&nbsp; a&nbsp; double-blind&nbsp; randomized&nbsp; trial&nbsp; design.&nbsp; Subjects&nbsp; were&nbsp; divided&nbsp; into&nbsp; two &nbsp;treatment groups supplements, namely IF that was given iron + folic acid and MVM that was given multi vitamin and mineral&nbsp; containing&nbsp; 15&nbsp; different&nbsp; vitamins&nbsp; and&nbsp; minerals&nbsp; including&nbsp; iron&nbsp; and&nbsp; folic&nbsp; acid. The&nbsp; subjects&nbsp; of&nbsp; period-1&nbsp; were&nbsp; 25 married WUS (IF=13, MVM=12) and of period-2 were 15 single WUS (BF=7, MVM=8). Supplementation performed three times weekly&nbsp; for 10 weeks.&nbsp; After supplementation, the levels of Hb, haematocrit (Hc) and serum&nbsp; ferritin of BF-group increased, whereas there were declines in MVM-group. The increase in Hb and Hc in married WUS was higher than&nbsp; the&nbsp; single.&nbsp; However,&nbsp; their&nbsp; Hb&nbsp; was&nbsp; fallen&nbsp; down&nbsp; when&nbsp; supplementation&nbsp; was&nbsp; continued&nbsp; without&nbsp; supervision&nbsp; and getting down when not given the supplements anymore. Supplementation with iron is a must for WUS workers, because they are not able to increase their Hb if only rely on their food
