What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating how dietary habits and hair zinc levels relate to body composition, inflammation marker TNF-alpha, and blood pressure among women of reproductive age from various ethnic groups in Jakarta, Indonesia. This observational study focuses on women from Minangkabau, Sundanese, Javanese, Betawi, and Chinese backgrounds to understand nutritional and inflammatory influences in this population. Participants will complete dietary assessments including a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and a 3-day food diary. Body composition will be measured using the BOD POD device to determine fat and lean mass. Blood pressure will be recorded, and blood and hair samples will be collected for laboratory analysis of TNF-alpha and zinc levels. This data will be collected once during the study. Women will undergo a single session involving dietary evaluation, body measurements, blood pressure check, and biospecimen collection. Researchers will assess dietary zinc intake, diet quality using several indexes, body composition, hair zinc concentration, blood pressure, and serum TNF-alpha at this baseline visit. The study aims to provide insight into how diet and zinc status affect body composition and inflammation in this diverse urban female population.
