ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: Poor nutritional status of female adolescents does not only have an impact on themselves but also have an impact on the next generation. Food intake and dietary quality are important to support nutritional status during adolescence. This study aims to determine the relationship between food intake and dietary quality with nutritional status of female adolescent in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia. Methods: This research was an observational study using a cross-sectional design. The subjects of this study were female adolescents aged 12-18 years with a total sample of 222 people. Data of food intake and dietary quality were measured using recall method, while nutritional status data were calculated using BMI for Age Z scores (BAZ). A linear regression model was used to predict the relationship of food intake and dietary quality to the nutritional status of female adolescents. Results: The average BAZ was 0.1±1.0, with an average dietary quality of 34.6±6.6%. The average energy intake was 1507.9±472.3 kcal, protein 32.4±11.0 g, carbohydrates 258.6±84.4 g, fat 44.9±19.9 g and fiber 3.88±2.7 g. Food intake (energy, protein, and fiber) and dietary quality were related to nutritional status (BAZ) in female adolescents (p<0.05). Conclusion: The balance of food intake and dietary quality is important to maintain the nutritional status of female adolescent properly. Nutritional interventions are needed to support female adolescent entering pregnancy with good nutritional status.
ABSTRACT
Ma lnutrition, HIV and tuberculosis (TB) disease is a triangle of death that should be given attention. This study was comparing nutritional status of HIV patients with and without TB in Semarang , Indonesia, to describe the effect of TB burden to their nutrit ional status. The study design was cross - sectional study. The study began with an examination of sputum and chest X - ra ys , then examined by anti - HIV antibodies using the method of screening of 3 times. About 5 6 subjects were recruited to the HIV group and 3 6 subjects to the HIV - TB . The a nthropometric examination was carried out b y using scales, microtoise , Mid Upper Arm Circumference ribbon, an d Body Impedance Analyzer to measure body fat. Interviews were conducted to the subject on ph ysical activity examin ation , 24 hours dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire. Data analysis using Independent t - test or Mann - Whitney test. The results showed that group of HIV - TB had worse nutritional status than those suffer from TB. Body weight, BMI, MUAC, BMR, and Vitamin A blood serum in HIV patients with TB was significantly lower than the HIV group. The nutritional status of HIV patients with TB was significantly more malnourished than counterparts ( underweight: 25.7% vs 14.3%). Dietary intake of vitamin A, Fe, Z n, energy, protein and fat was better in HIV group compared to HIV - TB group. Respondents who are 19 years old on average were stunting , an indicator of malnourished in a long time . TB can worsen the nutritional sta tus of HIV patients if not supported by go od nutrition.
ABSTRACT
@#Malnutrition, HIV and tuberculosis (TB) disease is a triangle of death that should be given attention. This study was comparing nutritional status of HIV patients with and without TB in Semarang, Indonesia, to describe the effect of TB burden to their nutritional status. The study design was cross-sectional study. The study began with an examination of sputum and chest X-rays, then examined by anti- HIV antibodies using the method of screening of 3 times. About 56 subjects were recruited to the HIV group and 36 subjects to the HIV-TB. The anthropometric examination was carried out by using scales, microtoise, Mid Upper Arm Circumference ribbon, and Body Impedance Analyzer to measure body fat. Interviews were conducted to the subject on physical activity examination, 24 hours dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire. Data analysis using Independent t-test or Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that group of HIV- TB had worse nutritional status than those suffer from TB. Body weight, BMI, MUAC, BMR, and Vitamin A blood serum in HIV patients with TB was significantly lower than the HIV group. The nutritional status of HIV patients with TB was significantly more malnourished than counterparts (underweight: 25.7% vs 14.3%). Dietary intake of vitamin A, Fe, Zn, energy, protein and fat was better in HIV group compared to HIV-TB group. Respondents who are 19 years old on average were stunting, an indicator of malnourished in a long time. TB can worsen the nutritional status of HIV patients if not supported by good nutrition.
