Food and Nutrition Literacy Research: Content Analysis

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of using digital template photos to estimate children's dietary intake in childcare settings. Study Design, Setting, Participants, Intervention: Photos of preschool children's meals were taken before consumption, when any additional servings were provided, and after consumption. Weights and template photos of each meal component were taken separately, at decreasing portion sizes beginning with the serving size given during mealtime and ending at approximately onequarter to one-eighth of the original serving size, such that if any more were eaten, it would be considered finished. Three trained undergraduate research assistant coders compared photos of actual mealtime plates with the digital template photos side by side on a split screen. Coders used the digital template photos to visually estimate the portion size of each meal component as it had been served and consumed. Outcome Measures and Analysis: Preliminary data from ongoing data collection consisting of 10 mealtimes composed of 35 food and beverage components in total were independently coded. Inter-rater reliability was evaluated by intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Across the 10 preliminary trials, ICC was 0.931 suggesting trained coders can reliably estimate food quantities using digital template photos. Conclusions and Implications: As a feasible and costeffective method, digital template photos may create opportunities for assessing children's dietary intake in research and intervention projects where it has been otherwise prohibitive to do so.

Strategy to Reduce Stunting Children Through Exploration of Mother’s Experience

“…Mothers play a role in directing children in socializing with their surroundings. The social setting will teach children about environmental conditions, culture, language skills, and relationships (Purnomo, 2013): (Aktas et al, 2018 In the interview about the physical and social environment, there are three sub-themes, namely the way the mother in maintaining environmental health, the way the family in managing children's health, and the child's communication media. The conceptual framework by UNICEF in (Hartasari, Anggitya Titis and Muslifah Rachmawati, 2015) that affects children's health is maternal attention to children, stimulation/stimulus to children, hygiene practices, and care when a child is sick.…”

Purification of <i>β</i>-Glucan of Oyster Mushroom (<i>Pleurotus pulmonarius</i>) and Its Application in Model Food

“…The results indicated that the quantity of β-glucan in cracker formulations was associated with lower HI, resulting in a decrease in the anticipated glycemic index (pGI) (Table 10). Several studies have shown that a low-GI diet improves the metabolic effects of insulin resistance and reduces insulin resistance [41]. Improvements in fibrinolytic activity may benefit the management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, in conjunction with changes to glucose and lipid metabolism [41].…”

Slow-digesting starch refers to a starch fraction that is digested gradually but incompletely in the large intestine, while fast-digesting starch leads to a rapid increase in blood glucose levels consumption [42].…”

Literasi Gizi (Nutrition Literacy) dan Hubungannya dengan Asupan Makan dan Status Gizi Remaja

“…Selain itu, secara bersamasama dengan kalangan akademisi, organisasi sektor publik dan swasta harus bekerja sama untuk melakukan studi yang lebih komprehensif dan terperinci untuk menentukan persyaratan penting untuk literasi makanan dan gizi. 9 Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, maka penting untuk dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui sejauh mana tingkat literasi pada remaja dan bagaimana hubungannya dengan asupan makan dan status gizi remaja. Penelitian ini dapat menjadi suatu model untuk pengembangan pendidikan gizi yang dilakukan di tingkat sekolah.…”
