BACKGROUND: Insufficient nutrition intake at the age of <2 years has an impact on decreasing physical growth and development. AIM: Analyzing the effect of giving Moringa leaves on pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers toward the social development of children aged 18–23 months in Jeneponto, South Sulawesi. METHODS: This study was a longitudinal study after supplementation for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers with Moringa oleifera or folic acid, and iron. Research subjects were children whose was monitored from the age of 18–23 months in Jeneponto District. The number of samples that met the inclusion criteria at the age of 23 months was 344 children. The sample was divided into three groups: A group of children of mothers who got Moringa leaf powder supplements, iron-folic acid supplements, and Moringa leaf extract. Child development was measured using the denver development screening test. Data were analyzed statistically with Chi-square. RESULTS: There were 107 children (91.5%) with normal social-personal development in the Moringa leaves powder (MLP) group. This number was more than the children in the iron folic acid (IFA) group of 103 children (86.6%) and the Moringa leaves extract (MLE) group of 95 children (88.0%). Differences were also found in the social-personal development of children who were suspect in the IFA group more than children who were suspect in the MLP group or the MLE group. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in children’s social-personal development between the three study groups.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the oleic acid levels of mature breast milk (6-12 months) and to analyze the differences in oleic acid levels in mature breastfeeding mothers with chronic energy deficiency (CED) and normal nutritional status. Methods: This research was conducted in July - September 2020 in the work area of the Sudiang and Sudiang Raya puskesmas, Makassar City and the research laboratory of the State University Hospital (RSPTN) Unhas. The type of research used is analytic observation with a cross-sectional study approach. The population in the study amounted to 406 mothers. The sample in this study was breastfeeding mothers with 6-12 months of lactation. The sample size was determined by using the Dahlan formula with a total sample size of 38 participants consisting of 19 Chronic Energy Deficient breastfeeding mothers and 19   normal breastfeeding mothers. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed using the Manwithney test. Results: The average levels of oleic acid in breastfeeding mothers with nutritional status of chronic energy deficiency were 1.00 ± 0.37 and breastfeeding mothers with normal nutritional status was 0.95 ± 0.36. The results of statistical tests found no significant differences (p> 0.05) between the oleic acid levels of breastfeeding mothers in chronic energy deficiency and normal nutritional status. Most of the found levels of oleic acid in the low category (reference 1.5) are namely 94.7% in normal nutritional status and 78.9% in nutritional status of women with chronic energy deficiency. Conclusion: The average oleic acid levels of breast milk in chronic energy deficiency and normal breastfeeding mothers were still low compared to the standard. There was no difference in oleic acid levels in breastfeeding mothers and breastfeeding mothers with normal nutritional status. A further qualitative research is needed in nursing mothers whose oleic acid levels are equal or exceed the reference.

BACKGROUND: Compliance with food-base dietary guidelines has been known delivered positive effect on nutrition and public health. AIM: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of lemongrass stems in pallumara and anchovy pepes on changes in uric acid levels in elderly women in hyperuricemia. METHODS: This research is a quasi-randomized pre-test-post-test control group design experiment. The study sample was elderly women with hyperuricemia who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of 45 persons divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The first group was given lemongrass stems in pallumara anchovy, the second group was given lemongrass stems in anchovy pepes, and the control group only consumed family food. Data were analyzed using paired t test, one-way ANOVA, Chi-square, and Kruskal–Wallis. RESULTS: The results showed that a significant change in uric acid levels in both intervention groups (p = 0.001 < 0.05), whereas the control group was not significant. There was a difference in changes in uric acid levels between the intervention group and the control group (p = 0.000 < 0.05). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the large difference in uric acid levels between the intervention group and the control group was 26.5% and 28.3%. It is recommended to use lemongrass in preventing elevated blood uric acid levels.
