Abstract

Background: Cognitive function refers to an individual's ability to process information, influenced by several factors, including genetics, the environment, and key nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids-specifically Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between EPA and DHA intake on cognitive function of amateur female adolescent football players in North Sumatra in 2024.

Methods: The research design used was observational analytic involving cross-sectional design. The total sample that participated was 79 amateur female youth football players by filling out the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) questionnaire as a cognitive assessment and filling out the Food Recall for assessing EPA and DHA intake. The analysis used SPSS 29.0 software and the analysis of EPA and DHA food recall used the NutriSurvey application.

Results: The results of this study indicate that there is a strong positive correlation between EPA and DHA intake and the cognitive function of amateur female adolescent football players, with a strong correlation value of r = 0.676 (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Eicosapentaenoic Acid and DHA intakes are strongly correlated with cognitive function in amateur female adolescent football players. Focusing on increasing daily EPA and DHA intakes is expected to improve cognitive function, especially in female adolescent athletes.

认知功能低下与印度尼西亚北苏门答腊岛青少年女足球运动员EPA和DHA的摄入密切相关。

背景：认知功能是指个体处理信息的能力，受多种因素的影响，包括遗传、环境和关键营养素，如ω -3脂肪酸，特别是二十碳五烯酸（EPA）和二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）。目的：研究EPA和DHA摄入对2024年北苏门答腊岛业余女青少年足球运动员认知功能的影响。方法：采用观察性分析和横断面设计。通过填写蒙特利尔认知评估问卷（MOCA）和食品召回问卷（EPA和DHA摄入量评估），共选取79名业余女青少年足球运动员为研究对象。分析采用SPSS 29.0软件，EPA和DHA食品召回分析采用nutrissurvey软件。结果：本研究结果表明，EPA和DHA摄入量与业余女青少年足球运动员的认知功能存在较强的正相关关系，相关值为r = 0.676 （p < 0.001）。结论：二十碳五烯酸和DHA摄入量与业余女青少年足球运动员的认知功能密切相关。专注于增加每日EPA和DHA的摄入量有望改善认知功能，特别是在女性青少年运动员中。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
