ABSTRACT The incidence of diabetes has been increasing gradually each year. According to WHO, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, and stroke. Prevention strategies are needed, especially for people with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT), as IGT is an intermediate stage in the natural course of type 2 diabetes and a predictor of type 2 diabetes. This paper is a secondary-data analysis of 2013 Basic Health Research aiming to identify IGT predictors. Samples were the respondents aged 15 years and over, with a total of 38,149. Analysis was carried out using logistic regression with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results showed that factors associated with IGT were age (OR (95% CI): 1.51 (1.43-1.59)), gender (OR (95% CI): 1.54 (1.46- 1.62)), education ((OR (95% CI): 1.18 (1.10-1.26), overweight (OR (95% CI): 1.24 (1.17-1.31) ) and fruit and vegetable consumption (OR (95% CI): 0.89 (0.80-0.99)). To conclude, obesity is a risk factor of IGT prevalence, while consumption of fruits and vegetables less than 4 portions per day was protective against IGT. There is a need of IGT prevention strategy, such as regular blood sugar checks, weight control and increased physical activity (exercise) and consume fruits and vegetables that are low in glucose and fluctose. Keywords: IGT, obesity, fruit and vegetable consumption, Riskesdas   ABSTRAK Kejadian diabetes dari tahun ketahun semakin meningkat. Menurut WHO, diabetes merupakan penyebab utama kebutaan, gagal ginjal, serangan jantung, dan stroke. Perlu upaya pencegahan terutama pada orang dengan Toleransi Glukosa Terganggu (TGT), karena TGT merupakan tahap pertengahan di dalam perjalanan alamiah DM tipe 2 dan faktor prediktor terhadap terjadinya DM tipe 2. Artikel ini adalah analisis lanjut Riskesdas 2013, yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor prediktor TGT. Sampel adalah responden dengan umur 15 tahun ke atas berjumlah  38.149. Analisis dilakukan dengan regresi logistik dengan odds ratio dan 95 % confidence Interval. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang berhubungan dengan TGT ialah umur (OR (95% CI): 1,51 (1,43-1,59)), jenis kelamin (OR (95% CI): 1,54 (1,46-1,62)), pendidikan ((OR (95% CI): 1,18 (1,10-1,26), kegemukan (OR (95% CI): 1,24 (1,17-1,31))  dan konsumsi buah dan sayur (OR (95% CI): 0,89 (0,80-0,99)). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegemukan berisiko terhadap kejadian TGT  dan konsumsi buah dan sayur < 4 porsi perhari  protektif terhadap kejadian TGT. Perlu adanya upaya pencegahan TGT,  seperti  pemeriksaan gula darah secara berkala, mengontrol berat badan meningkatkan aktifitas fisik (olahraga),  serta mengkonsumsi jenis buah dan sayur yang rendah glukosa dan fluktosa. Kata kunci: TGT, kegemukan, konsumsi buah dan sayur, Riskesdas

<em>Indonesian people's fruit consumption is still relatively low compared to other countries that do not have the resources to produce fruits. <strong>Purpose:</strong> this study was to determine the factors associated with fruit and vegetable consumption in elementary school students. <strong>Method</strong><strong>s:</strong> This research method uses a cross sectional design. The research population was all students in class V totaling 123 students and the study sample was 100 students who were determined using simple random sampling. This research was conducted in Negeri 1 Rajabasa Raya Bandar Lampung City. Data processing in this study was univariate and bivariate using the chi square test. <strong>Results:</strong> The results showed that the factors associated with fruit and vegetable consumption were preference (p = 0.001), knowledge (p = 0,000) and attitude (p = 000). The unrelated variable is the availability at home (p = 0.813). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Factors that increase consumption of fruit and vegetables in elementary school students are preference, good knowledge, and supportive attitude. Socialization needs to be done to increase knowledge about the benefits and effects of less consumption of fruit and vegetables, put up a poster media about the benefits and effects of less consumption of fruits and vegetables.</em>

Because supermarkets are a critical part of the community food environment, the purpose of this paper is to examine the association between accessibility to the supermarket where participants were surveyed, frequency of shopping at the supermarket, and self-reported and objectively-assessed fruit and vegetable consumption. Accessibility was assessed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) measured distance and multiple versions of the modified Retail Food Environment Index (mRFEI), including a localized road network buffer version. Frequency of shopping was assessed using self-report. The National Cancer Institute Fruit and Vegetable screener was used to calculate daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Skin carotenoids were assessed using the “Veggie Meter™” which utilizes reflection spectroscopy to non-invasively assess skin carotenoids as an objective measure of fruit and vegetable consumption. Bivariate and multivariable statistics were used to examine the associations in RStudio. There was a positive association between skin carotenoids and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) and mRFEI scores, suggesting that WIC participation and a healthier food environment were associated with objectively-assessed fruit and vegetable consumption (skin carotenoids). Future research should examine these associations using longitudinal study designs and larger sample sizes.

Purpose. To examine if spatial access to healthy and unhealthy outlets comprising the local food environment was associated with fruit and vegetable consumption. Design. Cross-sectional. Setting. Population-based sample residing in Hawaii. Subjects. Three hundred and eighty-four adults (36% Asian-American, 33% non-Hispanic white, 31% other/mixed race). Measures. A spatial model of the local food environment was constructed using radial buffers extending from participants' place of residence. Fruit and vegetable intake was estimated using the National Cancer Institute Fruit and Vegetable All-Day Screener. Analysis. Mean intakes of fruits and vegetables were compared for spatial access to total, healthy, and unhealthy food outlets at distances of .5 to 3.5 km. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate differences in fruit and vegetable intake for residing further from a food outlet or for residing in an area with a greater number of food outlets. Results. Residing in an area with a greater density of total or healthy food outlets was associated with a higher mean intake of fruits and vegetables (p < .05) at .5 km. No differences in mean intakes were detected for distances beyond .5 km or for regression models. Conclusion. Findings suggest that greater spatial accessibility to food outlets comprising the local food environment in Hawaii may not be meaningfully associated with fruit and vegetable consumption; however, associations were detected for the smallest spatial scale examined, warranting further investigation.
