AbstrakKetidakteraturan makan seperti kebiasaan makan yang buruk, tergesa-gesa, dan jadwal yang tidak teratur dapat menyebabkan dispepsia. Penderita depresi harus ditangani dengan sungguh-sungguh karena dikhawatirkan penderita depresi sangat tidak memperhatikan kesehatan dirinya seperti tidak mematuhi pola makan atau pola makannya menjadi tidak teratur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pola makan dengan kejadian depresi pada penderita dispepsia fungsional. Penelitian bersifat analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Subjek penelitian adalah 40 orang penderita dispepsia fungsional. Penelitian dilakukan di kota Padang dengan menggunakan data pasien dispepsia fungsional bulan Januari-Desember 2011. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada periode Juni-November 2012 dan pengolahan data dilakukan dengan uji korelasi menggunakan sistem komputerisasi. Hasil penelitian didapatkan nilai peluang Odd Ratio (OR) dengan Confidence Interval (CI) 95% pada penderita depresi berpeluang sebesar 4.500 kali lebih besar memiliki pola makan tidak teratur dibandingkan dengan tidak depresi serta menunjukkan derajat hubungan yang cukup kuat dengan tarif signifikansi (p) 0.025 (p < 0.05). Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara pola makan dengan kejadian depresi pada penderita dispepsia fungsional.Kata kunci: pola makan, depresi, dispepsia fungsionalAbstractIrregularity of meals as poor eating habits, unhurried, and irregular schedules may cause dyspepsia. Patients with depression should be treated seriously because it was feared people with depression do not pay attention to their own health so as not to comply with the diet or eating patterns become irregular. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of diet to the incidence of depression in patients with functional dyspepsia. The research is analytic cross sectional design. The subjects were 40 people of functional dyspepsia patients. The study was conducted in the Padang City with functional dyspepsia patients using data from January to December 2011. Data collection was conducted during the period of June to November 2012 and the data processing used correlation test by computerized system. The result was the probability odds ratios (OR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) in patients with depression were 4,500 times more likely to have irregular diet compared with non-depressed ones and showed a strong degree of correlation with the significance of correlation (p) 0.025 (p <0.05). There is a significant relationship between the diet and the incidence of depression in patients with functional dyspepsia.Keywords:diet, depression, functional dyspepsia

Abstract Background The etiology of reflux esophagitis (RE) is multi-factorial. This study analyzed the relationship of depression, anxiety, lifestyle and eating habits with RE and its severity and further explored the impact of anxiety and depression on patients’ symptoms and quality of life. Methods From September 2016 to February 2018, a total of 689 subjects at Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University participated in this survey. They were divided into the RE group (patients diagnosed with RE on gastroscopy, n = 361) and the control group (healthy individuals without heartburn, regurgitation and other gastrointestinal symptoms, n = 328). The survey included general demographic information, lifestyle habits, eating habits, comorbidities, current medications, the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) questionnaire (GerdQ), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 depression scale and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 anxiety scale. Results The mean age and sex ratio of the two groups were similar. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following factors as related to the onset of RE (p < 0.05): low education level; drinking strong tea; preferences for sweets, noodles and acidic foods; sleeping on a low pillow; overeating; a short interval between dinner and sleep; anxiety; depression; constipation; history of hypertension; and use of oral calcium channel blockers. Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed a positive correlation between sleeping on a low pillow and RE severity (p = 0.025). Depression had a positive correlation with the severity of symptoms (rs = 0.375, p < 0.001) and patients’ quality of life (rs = 0.306, p < 0.001), whereas anxiety showed no such association. Conclusions Many lifestyle factors and eating habits were correlated with the onset of RE. Notably, sleeping on a low pillow was positively correlated with RE severity, and depression was positively related to the severity of symptoms and patients’ quality of life.

The nexus between academic performance, nutrition and eating habit is globally recognized to the extent that it has inspired various strategies such as ‘school feeding programmes’ in many nations including Nigeria. This correlational study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between the eating habits of primary school pupils and their academic performance, using a survey design. Fifty pupils in two intact classes from two schools in rural areas, formed the sample. Data was collected using interviewer-questionnaire, coupled with naturalistic observation, for the eating habits and their results from the term’s examination done within the same periodin the schools. The data was analyzed using SPSS – 23 to determine the correlation coefficients. The results suggest that there is strong relationship between pupils’ eating habits, in terms of frequency of feeding, quality of feeding pattern, and quality of breakfast and their academic performance. In addition, the pupils perceived that eating light breakfast enhances their attention span to learn unlike, skipping of breakfast and eating heavy breakfast. The results of this study provide empirical evidence which can be used to encourage parents in rural areas to provide adequate nutrition for their wards/children to enhance their performance in school as recommended in this paper.

Introduction: the term drunkorexia refers to the act of self-imposed utilization of extreme weight control methods to compensate for alcohol consumption typically observed among university students. Despite its diffusion, there is a lack of research investigating the presence of this new alarming trend in Italy. Aim: this study estimates the frequency of drunkorexia behaviours in a sample of Italian youth aged 14-24, explores the motivations for alcohol consumption among those presenting drunkorexia-type behaviours, and examines the relationship between drunkorexia and disordered eating. Methods: drunkorexia behaviors, eating habits and motives for alcohol use were investigated in 403 subjects (F=301, M=102) aged 14-24 through self-report questionnaires. A series of analyses, including descriptive statistics, univariate analysis of the variance and multiple regressions were run. Results: 62.5% of the sample showed drunkorexia-type behaviours. Drunkorexia was related to disordered eating, especially among females older than eighteen. Discussion and Conclusions: this the first study investigating the incidence of drunkorexia behaviors in a sample of youth living in Northern Italy. Evidence-based interventions for eating disorders and drinking problems should inspire the development of ad hoc preventive and treatment actions for drunkorexia.

Background. Incidence of dental caries in primary school children is stillrelatively high. This corresponds to a pattern of wrong eating habits, asupportive environment such bad habits like sweet snacks, less fibrous andeasily sticky. In addition the frequency of irregular brushing teeth also contributeto the occurrence of dental caries.The purpose this study was to determine the relationship between thefrequency of brushing teeth with dental caries incidence of grade 2 studentsSDN Sumberagung II Klego. The hypothesis taken by the researchers issuspected there is a relationship between the frequency of brushing teeth withdental caries incidence in Class 2 SDN Sumberagung II Klego. This study wasconducted in SDN II Suberagung Klego.Methods used is the correlation method with cross sectional approach, thenumber of samples of 50 people the sampling technique used is total samplingThe conclusion From the results of data processing, the chi squere obtained x2count equal to 9.314 and 3.841 on the table at the 0.05 significance level anddegrees of freedom equal to 1 so that the count is greater than x2 table whichmeans there is a relationship between the frequency of brushing teeth withdental caries incidence in 2nd grade students of SDN Sumberagung II Klego.This shows that with regular brushing can minimize the occurrence of dentalcariesKeywords : Dentis caries, Dental Care and Teeth Brushing

The experimental reliability of measuring CO2 production rates (rCO2) with the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique was assessed in five young healthy men (23 (DLW) technique was assessed in five young healthy men (23 +/- 4 yr; 66.1 +/- 4.6 kg). To minimize the confounding effects of fluctuations in physical activity and eating patterns on variation in energy expenditure, the subjects lived under sedentary living conditions by confinement to their own room at a Clinical Research Center and were maintained on a fixed and known level of energy intake. rCO2 was determined in duplicate over two identical 9-day study periods after separate loading doses of deuterium and oxygen-18. Turnover rates were determined from multipoint sampling to reduce error from analytical uncertainty. Dilution spaces were determined by both the intercept and plateau methods. The average experimental variation for rCO2 estimates was approximately +/- 8.5% and was not significantly different among three published calculation models that differ in their assumptions regarding the relationship between the dilution spaces of deuterium and oxygen-18. The experimental reliability of +/- 8.5% exceeds theoretical values generated from calculations based on propagation of error from analytical uncertainty. Between subjects, the experimental variation ranged from 1 to 21%, and the half-width of the 95% confidence interval for the precision of rCO2 estimates was high (+/- 12 mol/day) relative to the mean reported value of approximately 16 mol/day.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate eating behavior and the subjective symptoms of oral frailty, and to examine the relationship between them. A total of 744 subjects with ages over 65 years were included. The questionnaire comprised 18 question items indicating eating behavior and seven question items indicating oral frailty. All items were assessed according to 4 grades on a scale of 1 (not applicable) to 4 (applicable). The total score of oral frailty gradually increased with age. Regarding the scores for “eating recognition” and “eating habits”, no changes were observed, however the scores for “eating action” demonstrated a decreasing tendency with age and the scores of ≥ 85 years age group was significantly lower than the 65–69, 70–74, and 75–79 years age groups. As a result of multiple regression analysis, among the significant independent variable, the scores of “I do not chew foods well” under the category of “eating action” showed the highest standard partial regression coefficients for dependent variable of symptoms of oral frailty. The significant association was found between the eating behavior and subjective symptoms of oral frailty, and this study suggests that the good chewing habit might be an important criterion for the prevention of oral frailty.
