Volume 26 Supplement

▪ Keyword : nutrition research methodology, econutrition, ecosystem health disorders, livelihoods, health systems, food systems

▪ Content : Despite progress with the food-associated health agenda in the public health and clinical domains, much remains to be done in Indonesia. There are reasons to be optimistic which include economic development, increasing literacy, progress towards universal health coverage and community organizational arrangements across the archipelago which focus on health through some 10,000 puskesmas.

▪ Keyword : fatigue, cooking methods, deep frying/stir frying, depressive symptoms, domestic migrant women, Taiwan

▪ Content : Background and Objectives: Fatigue is a critical occupational health risk among migrant workers. Globally, more than half of migrant workers are women. However, the prevalence rate and risk factors for fatigue in domestically employed migrant women are unknown. Methods and Study Design: In total, 194 Indonesian women migrants aged 20–50 years who were working in Taipei were studied. Self-perceived acculturation, dietary acculturation, BMI and haemoglobin were evaluated.

▪ Keyword : vitamin D status, tuberculosis contact, under-five children, latent tuberculosis

▪ Content : Background and Objective: Serum vitamin D influences cellular immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly in under-five children. Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency as well as tuberculosis (TB) are highly prevalent in Indonesia. This study described the association of serum vitamin D in the incidence of latent TB in under-five children with a history of close TB contact.

▪ Keyword : tuberculosis, malnutrition, free fatty acids, retinol binding protein 4, asymmetric dimethylarginine

▪ Content : Background and objectives: Energy metabolism may be dysfunctionally integral between host and infective agent in active tuberculosis, mediated by adipocytokines and free fatty acids (FFA) as the products of triglyceride lipolysis in fat, blood or other tissues. Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) are candidate adipocytokines. The possibility of a deleterious metabolic nexus in chronic energy deficiency (CED) (BMI <18.5 kg/m 2) is explored.

▪ Keyword : malnutrition, enteropathogen, intestinal inflammation, protein-losing enteropathy

▪ Content : Background and Objectives: A vicious cycle of infection, malabsorption, and malnutrition has been implicated in the perpetuation of diarrheal disease. This study examined whether persistent diarrhea is associated with changes in selenium status and stool alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) concentration.

▪ Keyword : acylated ghrelin, appetite, obesity, energy homeostasis, hunger

▪ Content : Background and Objectives: The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia has increasing. We have assessed the relationship between plasma acylated ghrelin hormone and self-reported appetite ratings (hunger and desire to eat) in obese and normal weight men. Methods and Study Design: Thirty-two men participated in an experimental study, where acylated ghrelin and self-reported appetite ratings were compared between a test group of 16 obese men and a control group of 16 men with normal body mass indices.

▪ Keyword : developing countries, newborn, birth weight, birth length, head circumference, omega-3 fatty acids, pregnancy

▪ Content : Background: Omega-3 fatty acid intake during pregnancy has been confirmed to affect newborn birth outcomes in the developed world. However, the association between maternal omega-3 fatty acid intake and birth size is unknown in developing countries. Objective: To examine the association of maternal omega-3 fatty acid intake with newborn birth size.

▪ Keyword : intergenerational, maternal birth weight, maternal BMI, maternal body composition, infant birth weight

▪ Content : Background and Objectives: Infant birth weight might be partly contributed to by maternal nutritional status at birth and maternal nutrition during pregnancy. The objective of this study was to analyze intergenerational maternal birth weight, maternal BMI, weight change during pregnancy, and maternal body composition (FM, FFM, and TBW) changes during pregnancy.

▪ Keyword : hydration status, urine specific gravity, urine osmolality

▪ Content : Background and Objectives: During pregnancy, the body exhibits dynamic changes in fluid composition. More than 50%of women experience nausea and vomiting during the first trimester. Studies of hydration status in pregnant women are limited, and not in tropical countries, like in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to investigate the hydration status and appropriate biomarkers for determination of hydration status in pregnant women in West Jakarta.

▪ Keyword : exclusive breastfeeding, family support, paternal education level, working mothers

▪ Content : Background and Objectives: Exclusive breastfeeding provides many benefits to both infants and mothers. Despite the introduction of laws aimed at protecting the practice of exclusive breastfeeding, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding remains low, particularly for working mothers.

▪ Keyword : maternal obesity, inflammation, insulin resistance, fetal heart rate variability

▪ Content : Background and Objectives: Recent studies show that maternal obesity is associated with impaired offspring neurodevelopmental outcomes. The mechanism underlying the association is unclear. However, there is evidence to suggest a role for intra-uterine exposure to inflammation and insulin resistance (IR). We aimed to determine if maternal IR and inflammation were associated to fetal neurodevelopment as indicated by fetal heart rate variability (HRV), an index of fetal cardiac autonomic nervous system development.

▪ Keyword : tumour necrosis factor-α, overfatness, adolescents, blood pressures, lipid profile, insulin resistance

▪ Content : Background: Overfatness (overweight and obesity) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including elevated blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, and insulin resistance. Chronic inflammation may play a role in mediating these associations. Objective: To investigate the association between plasma tumour necrosis factor-α and risk factors for cardiovascular disease among overweight and obese adolescents.

▪ Keyword : malnutrition, growth failure, chronic liver disease, risk factors

▪ Content : Background: Despite distinct advancements in nutritional therapy, malnutrition and growth retardation remain inevitable consequences of chronic liver disease. The global prevalence of chronic liver disease in children is about 3%, with a quarter undernourished. Malnutrition itself is a negative prognostic indicator of survival. Further research is necessary for delivering adequate nutritional support to reduce morbidity and mortality. O
