Study summary

Many provinces in Indonesia have some well known traditional foods that are widely consumed, but it remains unknown whether traditional ethnic dietary patterns can confirm healthy diets. High quality diet is associated with reduced risk of metabolic diseases and modulated gut microbiota. Moreover, the relationship between dietary quality and microbiota, a potential mediator of metabolic disease, has not been studied.

Read the detailed description

This study was conducted in specific villages and hamlets that were randomly selected by multi-stage random cluster sampling in 2 provinces. The investigators randomly selected 36 villages (18 villages in each provinces) by using probability proportional to size cluster sampling to admit the total 360 women who met the criteria and consented. While Bifidobacterium, Advanced Glycation End Products (AGE) and lipid profile were examined in a subgroup of 120 participants from each province (n=240).

Field enumerators were trained to standardize 24 hours food recall, food frequency questionnaire for 1 month back, and for stool sampling technique procedure.

Anthropometric measurement was performed by performing weight and height measurement. Fasting blood sampling and fecal Bifidobacterium examination were done in collaboration with professional laboratories. Hemoglobin was assessed by using hemocue. Lipid profile was quantified using calorimetric method, fasting blood glucose (FBG) was quantified using enzymatic colorimetric method glucose oxidase - phenol aminophenazone, HbA1c was using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) hexokinase, malondialdehyde level was quantified using will's spectrophotometry, blood advance glycation end products was done by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), carboxymethyl lysine plasma was done by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha was done by ELISA. Fecal sample were collected in 2 pots, each contain 5-10 gram of stool, and store in cooler box (2-9 degree celcius) until sample was transported to laboratory as soon as possible to store in -80 degree celcius freezer.

Study population

Population represent mountainous and coastal areas (Tanah Datar and Padang Pariaman districts in West Sumatera for the Minangkabau ethnic group, and Tasikmalaya District in West Java for the Sundanese ethnic group), who are known to have differences in their traditional diets. These areas have agricultural fields, and the population of farmers and fishermen is above the regional average.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • healthy reproductive women aged 19-50 years old
  • having both parents from the same ethnicities (Minangkabau or Sundanese)
  • willing to participate voluntarily signed a written informed-consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • not being pregnant or lactating
  • not having symptoms of gastrointestinal disturbance such as diarrhea, dysentery, constipation more than 3 days, and/or abdominal pain for the last 2 weeks
  • not having nausea or vomiting or lost appetite for the last 2 days
  • no history of
  • not consuming antibiotics in the last 1 week before fecal collection
  • not consuming alcohol more than 3 times a week
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Dietary or nutritional intake

    Usual dietary intake was done by using semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire for 1 month, and actual intake was done by nonconsecutive repeated 24-hour food recall (weekday and weekend). The investigators was analyse the dietary intake by Nutrisurvey 2007 software. Nutritional intake was reported as total daily intake (energy, macronutrients, and micronutrients). Energy intake is showed in kkal/day. Macronutrients include carbohydrate, protein, fat, and fiber intake are showed in gram/day. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals are showed in gram/milligram/microgram per day. The value of nutrient intake are very diverse from 0 to high intake.

    Time frame: September - November 2016

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total fecal microbiota

    Microbiota that examined in this study was total Bifidobacterium, quantified by real time-polymerase chain reaction, reported as log Bifidobacterium/gram feces. There is no official cut off for this measurement.

    Time frame: September - December 2016

  2. Weight

    Body weight in kilograms

    Time frame: September - November 2016

  3. Height

    Height in metres

    Time frame: September - November 2016

  4. Body mass index

    Calculated from body weight divided by square of height, reported in kg/m2. Normal range 18.5-22.9 kg/m2.

    Time frame: September - November 2016

  5. Obesity

    Classified using body mass index Asia Pacific standard. Score body mass index below 18.5 kg/m2 is underweight, 18.5-22.9 kg/m2 is normal range, 23-24.9 kg/m2 is overweight, 25-29.9 kg/m2 is obese 1, higher than 30 kg/m2 is obese 2

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 30, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
