Hybrid learning method based on feature clustering and scoring for enhanced COVID-19 breath analysis by an electronic nose.

Breath pattern analysis based on an electronic nose (e-nose), which is a noninvasive, fast, and low-cost method, has been continuously used for detecting human diseases, including the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Nevertheless, having big data with several available features is not always beneficial because only a few of them will be relevant and useful to distinguish different breath samples (i.e.

The association between dietary intake and cardiometabolic risk factors among obese adolescents in Indonesia.

Background And Objective: Poor diets, characterized by excess fat, sugar and sodium intakes, are considered to be one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Diet patterns and intakes during adolescence may persist into adulthood and impact on risk for chronic disease later in life. We aimed to evaluate the dietary intake of obese adolescents and its relationship to cardiometabolic health including lipid status and glycemic control.

Secular trends in Javanese adult height: the roles of environment and educational attainment.

Background: Since its independence in 1945, Indonesia has undergone rapid socioeconomic development. The fastest changes occurred in Java, which is the main island where more than half of the Indonesian population lives.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the secular trend in the height of adults living in Java born between 1953 and 1995 by comparing their residence (rural, small city, or large city) and considering factors that contribute to adult height.

Growth of exclusively breastfed small for gestational age term infants in the first six months of life: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Compared to their appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) peers, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants are prone to growth deficits. As the first 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding is generally recommended, it is essential to understand how this intervention might impact SGA infants' growth. This study aims to assess growth of exclusively breastfed SGA term infants in the first 6 months of life.

Sex differences in the association of vitamin D and metabolic risk factors with carotid intima-media thickness in obese adolescents.

Background: It has been shown that vitamin D is associated with obesity and the development of atherosclerosis. Less is known about this association among adolescents with obesity.

Objectives: To determine the association of vitamin D level and metabolic risk factors with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) among obese adolescents.

Maternal and Neonatal Factors Affecting Bone Mineral Content of Indonesian Term Newborns.

Interactions between the genome and intrauterine environment can affect bone mineralization in newborns and even in adult life.
