Hubungan antara Healthy Eating Index dan Asupan Asam Lemak Jenuh dengan Jumlah Bifidobacterium Usus pada Wanita Keturunan Minangkabau dan Sunda = Association of Healthy Eating Index and Saturated Fatty Acids Intake with Intestinal Bifidobacterium Count in Minangkabau and Sundanese Women.

Bifidobacterium, mikrobiota yang bermanfaat terhadap kesehatan, jumlahnya dipengaruhi oleh diet, genetik, dan usia. Makanan khas Minangkabau dan Sunda yang mengandung tinggi lemak, dan Healthy Eating Index (HEI) yang berhubungan kuat dengan asupan asam lemak jenuh dapat digunakan untuk mengukur kualitas diet. Penelitian potong lintang pada wanita 19-50 tahun dilakukan untuk menilai hubungan HEI dan asupan asam lemak jenuh dengan jumlah Bifidobacterium usus pada wanita keturunan Minangkabau dan Sunda. Data asupan diperoleh menggunakan 2-day repeated 24-hour food recall, pemeriksaan jumlah Bifidobacterium menggunakan real time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara HEI dengan jumlah Bifidobacterium, namun cenderung terdapat hubungan antara asupan asam lemak jenuh dengan jumlah Bifidobacterium pada wanita keturunan Minangkabau dan Sunda setelah dikontrol dengan faktor pengganggu.

Bifidobacterium, the beneficial microbiota on human health, is influenced by various factors such as dietary intake. Minangkabau and Sundanese food are contain of high fat, and Healthy Eating Index (HEI) that is strongly associated with saturated fatty acid intake can be used to measure the quality of diet. A cross-sectional study of women aged 19-50 years was conducted to assess the relationship between HEI and saturated fatty acids intake with intestinal Bifidobacterium in Minangkabau and Sundanese women. Dietary intake was assessed by 2-day repeated 24-hour food recall and Bifidobacterium was quantified using real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction. There was no significant relationship between HEI with intestinal Bifidobacterium, but saturated fatty acids intake tend to have association with intestinal Bifidobacterium in Minangkabau and Sundanese women after adjustment for confounding factors.
