Abstract

Background: Older adult population is increasing worldwide. Balance has an important role in conducting daily activities and mobility, with impaired balance it can lead to negative impacts for example fall. This study is conducted to obtain common factors and characteristics of older adults with balance disorder to provide better rehabilitation services.Method: A descriptive study was conducted in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung from August-October 2014 using total sampling method and a 5 times sit-to-stand (5STS) test was conducted. The total sample obtained was 34.Result: The characteristics of older adult with balance disorder in this study were mostly from young old (n=17), male gender (n=19), and mean 5STS test is 18.48 seconds. Most of the patients had high blood pressure (n=29), normal body mass index (BMI) (n=22), independent activity of daily living (ADL) (n=21), and use of greater than 3 medication (n=21).The most common disease found is musculoskeletal disease and majority of patients had one medical disease.Conclusion: Older adults categorized as young old has the greatest frequency of having balance disorder. Increase in age, increases the duration of 5STS test conducted. The most common problem among older adult is high blood pressure, musculoskeletal disease and hypertension and majority of the patients consume greater than 3 medication. Lastly, most of the BMI and the ADL of the older adults were normal. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n1.718

Abstract

Background: The elderly population will keep growing in Indonesia. Decreased body function in elderly will affect their health–related quality of life. The aim of this study was to know the correlation between physical activity level and health–related quality of life among elderlyMethods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from September to November 2014 in Panti Sosial Tresna Wredha Budi Pertiwi. The level of physical activity was measured with General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPPAQ) and health–related quality of life using the 36–Item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF–36v2). There were 14 out of 29 female elderly who met the inclusion criteria. The data were collected using validated questionnaires and tested with simple linear regression.Results: The physical activity level includes one inactive, three moderately inactives, eight moderately actives, and two actives. The average score of the health–related quality of life was 41.121±8.88 for the physical component scale (below average) and 57.629±7.54 (above average) for the mental component scale. No significant correlation was found between the level of physical activity with the physical component scale (p–value = 0.731) and mental component scale (p–value = 0.901).Conclusions: The most frequently found physical activity level is the moderately active level. The score for the physical component scale is under average, while the mental component scale is above average. There is no correlation between the physical activity level and health–related quality of life for the physical component scale and the mental component scale.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a frequently underdiagnosed disease. Definitive COPD has been diagnosed using spirometry to evaluate pulmonary function. This study aimed to explore the spirometric values of COPD patients to aid in the diagnosis of COPD.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from October to November 2015. Data on patients diagnosed with COPD, aged 40 to 60 years old, were collected during the year 2014 prior to ethical clearance. Spirometry values consisted of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC ratio were taken from the medical records.Results: Sixty-eight COPD patients, consisting of 48 males and 20 females, were included of with most were classified as moderate COPD. The FEV1 was 49.72±17.79, whereas the FVC was 55.90 (range 22.80–96.03), and the FEV1/FVC ratio was 0.70±0.12. Most patients were classified into moderate COPD who had FEV1 between 50 and 80% of normal as GOLD 2 standard.Conclusions: Even though patients seem to have no symptoms, spirometric values may show a silent insufficient lung function affecting patients’ daily life.
