Quasi-experimental study shows improvements in biomarkers and quality of life in older adults, suggesting the need for wider adoption of the Bijak Garam program.
Key Points
The Bijak Garam program significantly improved dietary intake and reduced health risks in older adults.
Participants demonstrated reductions in HbA1c levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and diastolic blood pressure.
Data was collected through a one-group pre-post design with semi-quantitative food frequency assessments.
These results highlight the program's potential role in enhancing geriatric nutritional interventions and public health.
