Abstract

Children are one of the most vulnerable groups to lead exposure. Exposure in children is primarily related to hand-to-mouth activities and environmental conditions. Studies on lead level in homes measurements, which are linked to blood lead levels in children, are still rare. The objective of the study was to identify lead levels on painted surfaces, consisting of doors and walls, in the homes of children aged 12-59 months who had high blood lead levels (≥ 20 μg/dl). The method was a cross- sectional study conducted in Java, Indonesia, comparing lead exposed and unexposed in areas with battery recycling activities to a demographically similar control area without such activities (Cinangneng-Bogor). The results showed among the 145 inspected homes in the exposed areas, 40 were measured on doors and 93 on walls; meanwhile among the 240 inspected homes in the unexposed areas, 35 were measured on doors and 36 on walls. In the exposed areas, the lead levels at the door ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 891.36 µg/cm2 and it was not different (p = 0,671) from that in the unexposed areas, i.e. ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 537.03 µg/cm2. Meanwhile, the lead levels at the walls in the exposed areas were measured ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 279.21 µg/cm2 (median 0.65 µg/cm2), and it was significantly different (p <0.001) from that in the unexposed area, i.e. ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 45.64 µg/cm2 (median 0.00 µg/cm2). The findings of lead exposure in the children’s homes lead to a strong recommendation to regulate the elimination of lead in the household paints, and to escalate community concern of domestic lead hazards.

Abstract

Amidst Indonesia's aging population, this study explores key determinants influencing productivity, the indicators of functional abilities, among older adults in diverse urban/rural settings of East Java and Yogyakarta. The study design used a cross-sectional study surveyed 220 adults (≥60 years; mean age 65.3) via stratified probability sampling. Structured questionnaires assessed holistic health (biological, psychological, social, spiritual, cultural), active ageing determinants (social, habitual, physical, personal, economic, service access), and elderly capability improvement (physical, mental, social, spiritual, cultural health). Binary logistic regression identified predictors of productivity status. The study results showed that holistic health conditions (Exp(B) = 0.983, p = 0.050), active ageing determinants (Exp(B) = 1.16, p =0.000), and improvements in elderly capabilities (Exp(B) = 1.090, p = 0.005) were significant positive predictors of productivity. This Indonesian study demonstrates that specific active ageing determinants and enhanced capabilities are more critical to elderly productivity than general holistic health in a multivariate context. It highlights the need for targeted, regionally adaptable community interventions and age-friendly policies to support productive aging.
