Background: Anemia occurs due to the body's loss of red blood cells and decreased iron absorption. Globally, it is known that the prevalence of anemia is 1.62 billion, with the majority of anemia sufferers being a group of women who are not pregnant, as many as 468.4 million people. In addition, the highest prevalence of anemia in the group of school-age girls is 47.4%, while in men, only 12.7%. Objective: This study aims to determine the correlation between macronutrients and nutritional status with the anemia accident in adolescents at Islamic Boarding schools. Methods: This study used a case-control design with matching criteria aged 15-19 years, not menstruating, not fasting. Sampling with quota sampling of late adolescents with a population of 15-19 years 1,359 people, anemic case sample of 46 people and control without anemia 46 people, intake questionnaire using the SQ-FFQ, statistical test with Chi-Square. Results: There was a significant relationship between macronutrient intake [energy p=0.048; protein p=0.036;] and nutritional status [p=0.024;] with anemia incidence. Less energy intake has a risk of 3.3 times anemia, lack of protein intake has a risk of 3.98 times, and malnutrition has a risk of anemia of 5.35 times. Conclusions: There was a significant correlation between energy, protein intake, and nutritional status with anemia incidents. Nutritional status has the strongest association with anemia.
Hypotension and hypertension are two problems with a prevalence increase in adolescence continually and one of fruits with high lycopen which affects blood pressure is tomato. Objective : Determining the effect of tomato juice on blood pressure. Methods: The design of this study was quasy-experimental with one group pre test post test design. The sample of research consisted of 22 respondents who collected by purposive sampling. The intervention was collected for 7 days. Data was analysed by STATA 13.1 software program using paired T-Test. Results: There was a diffeences significanly (P < 0.05) before and after intervention, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive and hypotensive respondents. Bottom Line: Tomato juice has an effect on blood pressure
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
