Background and aim

Selenium (Se) is an important element in the human body. Deficiency or excess of Se can cause harm to human health. A previous study showed an association of Se with cardiovascular and diabetes diseases. One of the food sources of Se is vegetables. In West Java, Indonesia, people consume fresh vegetables such as Garlic, Jengkol, and Petai. This research aims to study the correlation between the gastronomy culture of people in West Java, Se content in Garlic (Allium sativum), Jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum) and Petai (Parkia speciosa) from several Regencys/cities in West Java, and the prevalence cardiovascular and diabetic diseases.

Method

A cultural study was conducted based on a literature review. Cluster sampling was chosen for the sampling method. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in these regencies were obtained from the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. The measurement of Se content in a sample was conducted by the fluorometry method, based on the formation of the piazoselenol complex from the reaction between selenite ion and DAN (2,3-diaminonapthalene).

Results

People in West Java prefer to consume garlic, jengkol, and petai as a fresh vegetable as part of their culture. The highest content of Se in Allium sativum was found in Tasikmalaya City with a value of 69.20 ng/g. For Archidendron pauciflorum from Subang Regency values were 498 ng/g. Parkia speciosa found in the Bandung Barat Regency had a mean value 257.9 ng/g. There is a positive correlation between Se-concentration in Archidendron pauciflorum and the prevalence of diabetes while negative correlation with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. In addition, no correlation was observed for Allium sativum and Parkia Specose might be due to a lower Se-concentration in these vegetables that in the Archidendron fauciflorum.

Conclusion

Different areas have varying concentrations of Se in plants that grow in the region. The gastronomy culture and Se content may play a role to increase or decrease cardiovascular and diabetes prevalence in that area.

印度尼西亚西爪哇地区美食文化与硒含量与心血管和糖尿病患病率的相关性研究

背景与目标

硒（Se）是人体的重要元素。硒的缺乏或过量都会对人体健康造成危害。之前的一项研究表明，硒与心血管和糖尿病疾病有关。硒的食物来源之一是蔬菜。在印度尼西亚的西爪哇，人们食用大蒜、Jengkol 和 Petai 等新鲜蔬菜。本研究旨在研究西爪哇人的美食文化、大蒜( Allium sativum )、 Jengkol ( Archidendron pauciflorum ) 和Petai ( Parkia speciosa ) 的硒含量与西爪哇几个摄政区/城市的患病率之间的相关性。和糖尿病疾病。

方法

在文献综述的基础上进行了一项文化研究。抽样方法选择了整群抽样。这些地区心血管疾病和糖尿病的患病率是从印度尼西亚卫生部获得的。基于亚硒酸盐离子与 DAN（2,3-二氨基萘）反应形成 piazoselenol 络合物，通过荧光法测定样品中的 Se 含量。

结果

作为他们文化的一部分，西爪哇人喜欢将大蒜、jengkol 和petai 作为新鲜蔬菜食用。大蒜中硒含量最高的是塔西马拉雅市，为 69.20 ng/g。对于来自梳邦摄政区的Archidendron pauciflorum，值为 498 ng/g。在万隆 Barat Regency 发现的Parkia speciosa的平均值为 257.9 ng/g。Archidendron pauciflorum硒含量与糖尿病患病率呈正相关，与心血管疾病患病率呈负相关。此外，没有观察到Allium sativum 和 Parkia Specose 的相关性可能是由于这些蔬菜中的硒浓度低于Archidendron fauciflorum。

结论

不同地区在该地区生长的植物中硒的浓度不同。美食文化和硒含量可能会增加或减少该地区心血管和糖尿病的患病率。
