Abstract

Background: The majority of the mosquito and parasite life-history traits that combine to determine malaria transmission intensity are environmental depen-dent. Earlier evidence suggests that certain malaria vectors can spend large parts of their adult life resting indoors. This study aimed to examine the practice of hanging clothes on wire and its association with malaria incidence in Batubara, North Sumatera. Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted in Batubara, North Sumatera in March 2018. A total of 176 people aged ? 15 years consisting of 88 cases of malaria and 88 controls were selected for this study. The dependent variable was malaria incidence. The independent variable was hanging clothes on wire. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a logistic regression. Results: Hanging clothes on wire was associated with an increased risk of malaria (OR= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.65 to 6.73; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Hanging clothes on wire increases the risk of malaria.Keywords: malaria, hanging clothes, wire.Correspondence:

Background: Hypertension is a global problem in the world. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013 showed that deaths from complications of hypertension reached 9.4 million deaths worldwide. This study aims to determine the risk factors to the incidence of hypertension in women of reproductive age in Kedai Durian Health Center. Subjects and Method: This was a case control study carried out at Kedai Durian Health Center, Medan, Indonesia. A sample of 100 women of reproductive age was selected for this study. It consists of 50 women of reproductive age with hypertension and 50 women of reproductive age without hypertension. The dependent variable was hypertension. The independent variables were physical activity, obesity, and family history. Hypertension was measured by sphygmomanometer. The other data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Hypertension was associated with physical activity (OR=3.46;95% CI=1.52 to 7.90;p=0.003), obesity (OR=4.57;95% CI= 1.96 to 10.64 p<0.0001), family history (OR= 9.33;95% CI=720 to 23.41;p<0.0001), and fat consumption (OR=4.14;95% CI=1.79 to 9.57;p=0.001).Conclusion: Physical activity, obesity, family history, and fat consumption are associated with an increased risk of hypertension.
