Abstract Objectives Nutrient intakes of pregnant women are essential for their health and the health of their fetus. This study aims to assess the nutrient intakes of pregnant women, residing in a rural eastern Indonesia. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in two sub districts of Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) district, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia in 2012. A total of 155 pregnant women, at all age of pregnancy, residing at least one year prior to this study in 14 villages of two sub districts KIE and Amanuban Barat involved in this study. Anthropometric data including BMI and MUAC of pregnant women were collected by trained enumerators from the department of nutrition, Health Polytechnic of Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. A validated Semi Quantitative-Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ) was used to collect the dietary intake of the last 3 months of pregnant women. Nutrisurvey was used to compute and analyze nutrient intakes of the study subjects. Statistical Analysis was performed using STATA version 15.1 MP. Results The average of energy and protein intakes in pregnant women were 1178.4 ± 449.6 kcal/day and 38.4 ± 18.7 gr/day respectively, representing to only 54.7% and 57.4% of the Indonesian nutrient requirement of energy and protein intakes for pregnant women. The average of vitamin C and iron intakes in pregnant women were 59.9 ± 40.1 mg/day and 7.7 ± 6.2 mg/day, representing to only 70.5% and 29.5% of the Indonesian nutrient requirement of vitamin C and iron intakes for pregnant women. The average energy and protein intakes among underweight pregnant women were 211.1 kcal/day (95% CI: 17.3 kcal/day - 404.9 kcal/day) lower and 8.2 gr/day (95% CI: 0.07 gr/day -16.3 gr/day) lower than among non underweight pregnant women adjusting for age of pregnant women, gestational age, and monthly household expenditure, education level, and race. Conclusions The present study suggests that pregnant women in rural Indonesian community experienced high deficit in energy, protein, vitamin C and iron intakes lead to poor nutritional status during pregnancy.

: This study aimed to describe the nutritional status and dietary patterns of Cambodian school-aged children compared with those in the South East Asian Nutrition Survey (SEANUTS; Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in 2011) and to clarify the urban-rural differences using data from a nationally representative sample. The survey was conducted in 2014/2015 with a sample of 2020 children aged 6–17 years from 136 randomly selected schools. Standardized anthropometric measurements and a 1-day dietary survey by 24-hour recall method were conducted. Extended analyses in the present study revealed that the difference between rural and urban areas was similar to that of the SEANUTS; the overall prevalence of stunting remained high (33.2%). Stunting was more prevalent in children living in rural areas than in those in urban areas (total: 36.4% vs 20.4%). In contrast, the overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was not as high (3.1%), but was higher among urban children in all age groups compared with those living in rural areas (total: 6.4% vs 2.3%). Overall, the dietary intake of children did not meet the local recommended dietary allowances, which was similar to the results of the SEANUTS and differed across urban and rural areas.

The Relationship

Evidence that dental status affects diet is equivocal. The hypothesis of this study was that diet was affected by dental status. The objective was to assess the relationship between numbers of teeth and diet and nutritional status in US adult civilians without prostheses. We examined 6985 NHANES (1988–1994) participants. Data included socio-economics, demographics, dental status, and diet and nutritional status. Dietary data were obtained from food frequency questionnaires and 24-hour dietary recall. Serum levels of beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C were measured with isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography. The population was classified by numbers of teeth. Covariance and Satterthwaite F-adjusted statistical comparisons were made between tooth groupings and the fully dentate population. Multilinear regression models adjusted for covariates. People with fewer than 28 teeth had significantly lower intakes of carrots, tossed salads, and dietary fiber than did fully dentate people, and lower serum levels for beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C. Dental status significantly affects diet and nutrition.

Concern has been expressed that high dietary concentrations of non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) may potentially compromise nutrient intakes in population groups with low energy intakes (Department of Health, 1991). The objective of the present study was to examine data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of Children Aged 1.5 to 4.5 years (Gregory et al. 1995) for evidence of an inverse association between energy from NMES and micronutrient intakes, and if possible to quantify a level of NMES-energy at which micronutrient intakes may, theoretically, be compromised. Energy and nutrient intakes were compared across quintiles of NMES-energy for boys (n 848) and girls (n 827). As the concentration of NMES increased, energy intake rose (in boys only) while percentage energy from fat fell from 40 to 32 % across quintiles 1 to 5. Intakes of most micronutrients also fell, while intakes of vitamin C rose. Mean intakes of most micronutrients (Ca, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate and vitamin C) were adequate in comparison with dietary reference values. However, intakes of Fe, Zn and vitamin D were low at all levels of NMES-energy and fell below the estimated average requirement for Fe and Zn for NMES concentrations exceeding 24 % of energy. Lower intakes of milk, meat, bread and vegetables, and higher intakes of fruit juice largely explain the observed trends in micronutrient intake. It is concluded that the inverse association of NMES with micronutrient intakes is of most significance for the 20 % of children with diets highest in NMES. However, further work is required to establish whether the associations observed have biological significance with regard to micronutrient status.

One of the efforts to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is to maintain optimal nutritional status so that it can increase immunity to infection and disease, increase energy and be more productive. This study aims to describe the nutritional status, physical activity, and perceived benefits and barriers to fulfilling the nutritional intake of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This research was a descriptive study using mixed methods. Data were collected on 5 female PLWH informants using a 2x24 hour food recall to determine consumption patterns and measure nutritional status based on BMI and the adequacy of nutritional intake (macro includes energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates; and micro including Vit. A, Vit. B, Vit. C, Zn); and the calculation of physical activity used the Physical Activity Level (PAL). In-depth interviews were conducted to explore perceived the benefits and barriers of PLWHA to fulfilling their nutritional needs and were analyzed using the Rapid and Rigorous Qualitative Data Analysis technique with triangulation informant. The BMI status of informants was 3 normal informants, 1 overweight informant, and 1 obese informant. Types of physical activity carried out were 4 informants doing light physical activity and 1 informant doing moderate physical activity. The frequency of eating the seams of informants is 3 times a day and the number of informants with normal adequacy of fat and energy intake is 1 informant each and 2 informants protein, carbohydrate nutrition intake is not sufficient. The adequacy of normal micronutrients is vitamin b for 2 informants, vitamin c, and b for 1 informant each. The informants know that nutrients can increase immunity, but the types of consumption by the informants have not varied. Assistance services, counseling, and nutrition education are also needed during the HIV / AIDS treatment process.ABSTRAKSalah satu upaya meningkatkan kualitas hidup Orang dengan HIV/AIDS (ODHA) adalah mempertahankan status gizi optimal sehingga dapat meningkatkan kekebalan terhadap infeksi dan penyakit, peningkatan energi dan akan lebih produktif.

Abstract Objectives There is high prevalence of micronutrient inadequacy among preschool-children in the Philippines. In addition, 60% of Filipino pre-school children do not consume any dairy on a given day despite the government recommendation of one serving of milk (180 ml) per day. Milk for pre-school children (milk henceforth), a source of energy, protein, and micronutrients, tailored to the nutritional needs of children in this age group, may improve nutrient adequacy in this population. This study models the nutritional impact of adding one serving of milk in the diets of Filipino children who currently do not consume any dairy products. Methods Dietary intake data of Filipino pre-school children aged 3 to 5 years were analyzed from the 8th National Nutrition Survey 2013. Non-dairy consumers were identified (n = 1313) and daily mean intakes of iron, calcium, folate, zinc, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamins C and D were calculated (pre-simulation). A serving of milk was added to each individual's diet and daily mean intakes of nutrients were recalculated (post-simulation). Mean nutrient intakes and percentage of children with inadequacy (using Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) cut-off method) were compared pre- and post-simulations. Results The mean nutrient intakes post-simulation were higher and closer to the Filipino dietary recommendations: iron (pre-simulation (mean ± SD) = 4.8 ± 3.4 mg/d; post-simulation = 6.5 ± 3.4 mg/d), calcium (191.5 ± 153.5 mg/d; 384.9 ± 153.5 mg/d), zinc (2.9 ± 1.9 mg/d; 4.3 ± 1.9 mg/d), thiamine (0.5 ± 0.3 mg/d; 0.7 ± 0.3 mg/d), riboflavin (0.5 ± 2.1 mg/d; 0.7 ± 2.1 mg/d), folate (120.3 ± 101.4 µg/d; 180.8 ± 101.4 µg/d), vitamin C (17.0 ± 29.2 mg/d; 35.8 ± 29.2 mg/d), and vitamin D (1.5 ± 2.2 µg/d; 3.0 ± 2.2 µg/d) respectively (P < 0.001). The proportions of children with inadequate nutrient intakes post-simulation were reduced by 13.3% for iron, 19.2% for calcium, 23.2% for folate, 35.2% for zinc, 34.8% for thiamine, 43.3% for riboflavin, 73.1% for vitamin C, and 4.9% for vitamin D. Conclusions The modeling study shows that if pre-school children (who do not normally consume any dairy) were to meet their dairy recommendations with a single serving of milk tailored to this age group, the proportion of pre-school children in the Philippines with inadequate micronutrient intakes could be reduced.

The prevalence of oral candidiasis and its association with malnutrition in terms of protein–energy malnutrition and mineral and vitamin depletion were evaluated in ninety-seven hospitalised older adults aged 82·1 (SD 8·6) years. Patients underwent a complete oral examination with microbiological investigation on admission to our geriatric rehabilitation unit. Patients were assessed nutritionally by evaluation of dietary intake and measurement of anthropometric variables, serum nutritional proteins, ferritin, Zn, folate, vitamins B12 and C. The prevalence of oral candidiasis was 37% (n 36); the proportion of patients with BMI <20 kg/m2 was 32% (n 31). The nutritional status of the population was studied by comparing two groups defined according to the absence (group I; n 61) or presence (group II; n 36) of oral candidiasis. The two groups did not differ on the basis of BMI and mid-arm circumference. However, group II had a smaller leg circumference, lower daily energy and protein intakes, lower albumin and transthyretin levels. Patients successfully treated with fluconazole increased their intake on day 30. The proportion of patients with hypozincaemia (<12·5 μmol/l) and vitamin C deficiency (<0·7 mg/l) was higher in group II. Treatment with antibiotics, poor oral hygiene, denture wearing, and vitamin C deficiency appeared as the most significant independent risk factors associated with oral candidiasis. The present findings show that oral candidiasis appears to be related to malnutrition and results in mucosal lesions that have a negative impact on energy intake, which may subsequently worsen nutritional status.

AbstractObjective:To examine the relationship between non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) concentration and micronutrient intakes and status in free-living older people.Design:The National Diet and Nutrition Survey of people aged 65 years and over; a cross-sectional study in Britain in 1994/5.Subjects and methods:Eight hundred and six men and women living in private households who were not on medication for nutritional disorders. Subjects were classified into four groups (Q1 to Q4), using cut-off points corresponding to quartiles of energy from NMES. Relationships were examined between dietary NMES concentration and intakes of calcium, iron, riboflavin, folate, vitamin C and vitamin D. Status indices were also assessed in each group.Results:Overall, a small proportion of men and women had intakes below the Lower Reference Nutrient Intake (LRNI) for calcium, iron, folate, riboflavin or vitamin C, while vitamin D intakes were universally low. Intakes of micronutrients tended to be highest at moderate levels of NMES in the diet (Q2 and Q3, equivalent to 8–15% of energy from NMES). Micronutrient status was low for riboflavin in 38% of the sample, while 15% had low vitamin C status and more than 10% were anaemic. There was little evidence that poorer nutrient status was associated with higher levels of dietary NMES. Although some indices of folate status were lower in Q4, this is most likely to reflect confounding by smoking. Energy intake accounted for 20–40% of the variance in micronutrient intakes, compared with less than 5% for NMES concentration.Conclusions:A diet moderately high in NMES (up to around 15% of energy) is unlikely to have a detrimental impact on micronutrient intake or status in this age group. Energy intake is the major determinant of micronutrient adequacy.
