The Realtionship Between Worm Infection and Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) in Students of MI Nurul Falah Jatimulya Village, Sepatan Timur Subdistrict, 2024

2025-01-16T01:16:10+00:00

Worms are one of the infectious diseases that are susceptible to occur in school-age children in Indonesia. The highest prevalence of worms occurs in underprivileged population groups and poor environmental sanitation. Children aged 6-12 years are more susceptible to worm infections due to their high curiosity to play intensely with the ground. At that age, children still depend on their parents to maintain personal hygiene. The consequences of worm infections that occur in toddlers or school-age children can cause malnutrition so that children's growth and development are disrupted due to reduced protein and carbohydrate energy and can cause anemia. Worm infections will be reduced and can even be eliminated if efforts are made to live a clean and healthy life such as washing hands with soap, managing food properly, a clean environment and nutritious food. The specific objective is to reduce the prevalence of worms in school-age children in poorly sanitation areas of Indonesia, as well as improve children's health and quality of life through evidence-based interventions. The research was conducted by the purposive sampling method, fecal samples were examined by the sedimentation method using a centrifuge and the behavior of PHBS was assessed using a questionnaire and then analyzed with the Chi-Square statistical test. Results there was no significant association between hand washing behavior with soap, snack habits and rigid mat habits and the incidence of worms

Fructose and Its Impact on Uric Acid Levels in Humans: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials from PubMed Database

2025-01-07T08:27:18+00:00

Worldwide fructose consumption continues to increase annually. It is well-established that high-dose fructose consumption can lead to metabolic disorders in humans. One of the indicators affected is uric acid, with several studies reporting increased uric acid levels following fructose intake. This study employs a systematic literature review and meta-analysis approach. We conducted a literature search exclusively in the PubMed database using keywords related to hyperuricemia, uric acid, fructose, and human health. The search was based on the PICO strategy: human health (population), fructose (intervention), glucose (comparison), uric acid (outcome). Nine eligible documents were analyzed for meta-analysis out of 81 documents retrieved from the PubMed database. Based on the Random Effects model (RE), the Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) value was -0.37 (95% CI; -1.34 to 0.59). The RE value crosses the vertical 0 line. Across various clinical studies, fructose consumption did not significantly show negative effects. Although some studies demonstrated dynamic changes, they remained within the normal range. However, these conclusions cannot be directly generalized due to limited knowledge on the long-term effects of fructose. Additionally, aspects such as dosage, duration, type of fructose, anthropometry, and subject characteristics need further attention and analysis in each fructose-related study, as they may be significant factors contributing to variations in study outcomes.

Adolescent nutrition remains a significant issue in Indonesia. This study aims to describe the nutritional status, taste perception, energy, and macronutrient content of canteen food among students at SMAN 104 East Jakarta. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, 85 samples were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected via anthropometric measurements, taste perception questionnaires, and canteen food nutrient analysis. Chi-Square analysis was used to test the relationship between characteristics and taste perception. Results showed 78.8% of respondents had good nutritional status, with significant differences between genders and age groups. Taste perception was generally good (97.6%), varying by age but not significantly by gender. Macronutrient analysis revealed varying content, with some menus exceeding 30% of daily nutritional needs for lunch. Significant relationships were found between nutritional status and age (p=0.047) and gender (p=0.009). In conclusion, while most students have good nutritional status and taste perception, there is room for improvement in macronutrient balance in canteen menus.
