Hypertension is referred to as “the silent killer”, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 29% of the world's population will experience hypertension in 2025, the potential increase in essential hypertension in adolescents can continue into adulthood due to lifestyle changes. So, it is necessary to provide nutrition education as a prevention of hypertension through the media of card games. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nutrition education on the prevention of hypertension through card game media on increasing the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents at SMAN 1 Krian. This type of research is quasi-experimental with Two Group Pre test-Post test Control Group Design. The research sample was 48 adolescents at SMAN 1 Krian, divided into experimental and control groups. Knowledge data with multiple choice knowledge test and attitude from attitude questionnaire using linkert scale. Data analysis of the Wilcoxon test was 0.00 < 0.05 for the increase in knowledge in the control group and the experimental group, while the increase in attitude was 0.00 < 0.05 for the control group and the experimental group. Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney Test (p>0.05), obtained a different test for increasing knowledge (0.22> 0.05), while a different test for increasing attitudes (0.02 < 0.05).  The results showed that there was no significant difference in nutrition education on the prevention of hypertension through card game media on improving knowledge, while there was a significant difference in nutrition education on the prevention of hypertension through card game media on improving adolescent attitudes at SMAN 1 Krian.

The development of the era and technological advances can make it easier for humans to do everything, one example is the development of types of food in Indonesia which is growing rapidly, one of which is junk food or fast food. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of eating culture on Body Mass Index in adolescents. The type of research used is quantitative descriptive with a Cross Sectional Study approach, namely to determine the effect of dependent and independent variables observed in the same time period. This study was conducted in the Al-Fatah Natar Islamic Boarding School Area, South Lampung Regency, Lampung Province with a population of 30 students and a sampling technique of total sampling. The results of the statistical analysis of multiple logistic regression tests with results on the frequency of eating variables with a value of p (0.816)>α (0.05). While on the junk food consumption variable with a value of p (0.016)<α (0.05). The results of the statistical analysis show that only junk food consumption has an effect on Body Mass Index in adolescents. So it can be concluded that the culture of consuming junk food has an effect on Body Mass Index in adolescents.

College students are in early adulthood, a critical developmental stage marked by physical, psychosocial, and cognitive changes that can significantly impact dietary behaviors, including fruit and vegetable consumption. Adequate intake of fruits and vegetables is essential for maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, evidence indicates that fruit and vegetable intake among college students often falls below the levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). This study aimed to validate a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) for assessing total fruit and vegetable intake among college students in Surabaya City, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 30 active university students. The SQ-FFQ method produced higher intake estimates compared to the Estimated Food Record. A statistically significant and strong correlation was found between the two methods (p < 0.001, r > 0.7), indicating strong agreement. These findings support the SQ-FFQ as a valid tool for measuring total fruit and vegetable intake in this population.

Cardiovascular disease especially coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, is the main cause of global death, with increased blood lipid levels as one of the risk factors. This research offers the potential of anthocyanin-rich berry supplements in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and improving blood lipid profiles through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trial studies (RCTs). Data was collected from various databases and filtered based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Analysis shows that consumption of berry supplements containing anthocyanins can reduce LDL-C levels by 0.29 mmol/L compared to the control group, with a p value <0.05 and I2 = 79%, indicating that the variation between these studies is heterogeneous. These findings are in line with previous research which showed a 13.6% reduction in serum LDL-C levels in the group consuming anthocyanins. In the whortleberry exposure group, the results showed that of the two journal articles analyzed, the data points fell outside the confidence interval (CI), indicating there was no significant difference in the results of the studies. The use of anthocyanins on berries other than whortleberries showed a significant effect, while on whortleberries, the difference with or without anthocyanins was not significant. The results of this study emphasize the importance of consuming anthocyanin-rich berry supplements in improving blood lipid profiles and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, and support the development of anthocyanin-based nutritional supplements as an effective public health strategy.

Community-based childbirth assistance (MPPBM) is an important approach in efforts to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. Health cadres have a strategic role in assisting pregnant women and facilitating referrals to health facilities. This study aims to explore the knowledge and meaning of health cadres related to community-based childbirth assistance. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological design involving 8 cadres in the Baloi Permai Health Center work area. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Colaizzi phenomenological analysis method. The results showed five main themes that describe the knowledge and meaning of assistance according to cadres: Assistance as a form of social concern, Knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and referrals, Assistance as a form of spiritual and emotional service, Challenges in carrying out the role as a companion, and Expectations for health system support. These findings can be used to improve the quality of cadre training and strengthen community-based assistance policies.

Jamu is an Indonesian traditional medicine that has been used from generation to generation with the properties contained empirically proven. Herbs that will be marketed must meet safety and quality requirements and must not contain medicinal chemicals (BKO). However, the increasingly fierce competition in the herbal medicine industry has resulted in some herbal medicine makers adding medicinal chemicals (BKO) to the herbs they produce. Medicinal raw materials (BKO) commonly contained in herbal medicine, namely paracetamol. The research conducted analyzed the content of paracetamol in herbal medicine using the Uv-Vis spectrophotometric method with a wavelength of 240 nm to detect medicinal raw materials (BKO) and paracetamol levels contained in Fung seh cu tong wan herbal medicine. The analysis results from 3 replicates showed that the samples of jamu Fung seh cu tong wan were positive for paracetamol with levels of 0.0064%, 0.0104%, and 0.0184% and an average of 0.0117% was obtained.

Nutritional knowledge is knowledge about food and nutrients, sources of nutrients in food, food that is safe to consume so that it does not cause disease and how to process food properly so that the nutrients in food are not lost and how to live healthily. One of the factors that influences eating patterns is the level of nutritional knowledge. A person's level of nutritional knowledge influences eating behavior in choosing food which determines whether it is easy for a person to understand the benefits of the nutritional content of the food consumed. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between nutritional knowledge and instant noodle eating patterns among Papuan students at Halu Oleo University. This research uses quantitative research and the type of research is observational analytics with a cross sectional design. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a poor level of nutritional knowledge (75%), while only 25% of respondents had high nutritional knowledge. This shows that even though students are in a higher education environment, their knowledge about nutrition still needs to be improved. Most respondents (52%) consume instant noodles 2-3 times a week, with the main reasons being ease of preparation (65%) and affordable price (20%). This consumption is more dominant among students who live in boarding houses or dormitories compared to those who live with their families. It is hoped that this research will be useful for subjects to balance their eating patterns and have self-control because the majority of subjects have uncontrolled eating patterns due to living in boarding houses or dormitories so that their body health continues to be maintained. Apart from that, subjects can also pay more attention to nutritional balance in consuming food in order to achieve optimal nutritional status.
 

Elderly will experience changes in body composition which will affect the Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) and have an impact on blood pressure. Hypertension is often found in the elderly in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship and differences in WHR and body composition between hypertensive and non-hypertensive elderly. The design used in this research is case control. The population of this study included all elderly people in the Griya Werdha Jambangan Surabaya Regional Technical Implementation Unit (RTIU) with a total sample of 76 elderly people consisting of 38 hypertensive and 38 non-hypertensive. The results of the research were the relationship between getting WHR, fat mass, muscle mass (p = 0,000), bone mass (p = 0,026), and fluid mass (p = 0,049). The results of the study were differences in WHR, fat mass, muscle mass, bone mass (p = 0,000), and fluid mass (p = 0,001). The odds ratio (OR) value shows that elderly people with obesity WHR have a risk of 27,4, more fat mass and muscle mass below normal have a risk of 24,4, bone mass below normal has a risk of 5,8, and less fluid mass has a risk of 5,1 times developing hypertension. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between WHR and body composition and hypertension, and there are differences in WHR ​​and body composition values between hypertensive and non-hypertensive elderly.
