Abstract

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in 2012 had planned for the District of Kronjo, Tangerang Regency, Banten to become a minapolitan area or center of fisheries in Indonesia. 70% of Pagedangan Ilir Village population are fishermen and, being close to the Cipasilian River which empties into the Java Sea, while also being the village with the most fishermen and in Kronjo. Data on people’s health in this area is still very limited, coupled with bad lifestyle patterns such as smoking and poor diet. This highlights the need for promotive-preventive activities in an effort to improve the health and healthy lifestyle of the fishermen. The activities conducted were community health service activities. Indirect counseling by video screening and lung examination with spirometry is one way to gain knowledge and description of lung health among fishermen in Pagedangan Ilir Village, Tangerang, Banten. As many as 97 people went through spirometry examination. The results showed that 42 (43.3%) were normal, 48 (49.5%) were restrictive, 2 (2.1%) were obstructive and 5 (5.2%) were mixed. In addition, 74 (76.3%) residents smoke and the remaining 23 (23.7%) do not smoke. The large number of restrictive abnormality might be due to the large number of smokers or participants’ inability to follow the examination instructions properly. It can be concluded that the activities carried out are only the initial stages of health service for the fishermen, therefore other activities are still necessary to improve the health and welfare of the fishermenABSTRAK: Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan pada tahun 2012 memproyeksikan Kecamatan Kronjo, Kabupaten Tangerang, Banten menjadi daerah minapolitan atau pusat kawasan perikanan di Indonesia. Desa Pagedangan Ilir 70% penduduknya bekerja sebagai nelayan dan lokasinya berdekatan dengan Sungai Cipasilian yang bermuara ke Laut Jawa, memiliki jumlah penduduk yang bermata pencaharian sebagai nelayan paling banyak di Kronjo. Data tentang kesehatan di lingkungan nelayan masih sedikit serta pola hidup yang kurang baik seperti merokok, pola makan yang kurang baik. Hal ini menjadi alasan perlunya dilakukan kegiatan promotif-preventif dalam usaha meningkatkan kesehatan serta pola hidup sehat nelayan. Kegiatan yang dilakukan berupa kegiatan bakti kesehatan. Penyuluhan tidak langsung dengan pemutaran video serta pemeriksaan fungsi paru dengan spirometri merupakan salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan peengetahuan dan gambaran tentang kesehatan paru pada nelayan di Desa Pagedangan Ilir, Tangerang, Banten. Sebanyak 97 orang yang melakukan pemeriksaan spirometri. Hasil pemeriksaan spirometri memperlihatkan bahwa sebanyak 42 (43,3%) hasil pemeriksaannya normal, 48 (49,5%) retriksi, 2 (2,1%) obstruktif dan 5 (5,2%) adalah campuran. Selain itu juga didapatkan data sebanyak 74 (76,3%) warga yang merokok dan sisanya 23 (23,7%) tidak merokok. Banyaknya hasil spirometri adalah kelainan restriksi dapat dikarenakan karena banyaknya perokok serta mungkin karena peserta tidak dapat mengikuti instruksi pemeriksaan dengan baik. Dapat disimpulkan kegiatan yang dilakukan hanya merupakan tahap awal pemerhatian kesehatan pada nelayan, maka dengan itu masih perlu dilakukan kegiatan-kegiatan lain untuk meningkatkan kesehatan dan kesejahteraan pada nelayan.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hypertension in the world today increases year by year. Monitoring data of non communicable diseases (NCD), 2017 shows that the number and risk of death for Indonesian people in productive age is quite high. Research on the relationship between risk factors and hypertension in low-income productive age communities in Indonesia has not been widely studied. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status, waist circumference (WC) and lipid profile with hypertension in people of low income productive age. Methods: The design of this study was cross sectional. Identity data were collected through interview, blood pressure, anthropometry, waist circumference data were obtained by measuring and blood lipid profile, fasting blood sugar data were carried out by laboratory test. The data that had been obtained were tested using Fisher’s exact test. Results: As many as 50% of 62 subjects had hypetension, 38.7% of subjects had overweight, 33,87% of subjects had obesity and 61.9% of subjects had WC above normal or including central obesity. As many as 37.1% of subjects had hypercholesterolemia, 90.3% had low density lipoproteinemia (LDL) above normal, 16.1% of subjects had high density lipoproteinemia (HDL) below normal and 22.6% of subjects had hypertriglyceridemia. The results of Fisher's exact test showed that there was no relationship between nutritional status, WC and lipid profiles with hypertension. The prevalence odds ratio (POR) showed that subjects with over nutrition and obesity have a 1.63 times risk of developing hypertension; subjects with central obesity had a 1.73 times risk of developing hypertension; subjects with hypercholesterolemia had a 2.7-fold risk of developing hypertension and subjects with high LDL had 2.15 times the risk of developing hypertension, while POR of HDL and triglycerides showed a neutral value or not a risk factor for hypertension. Conclusion: Nutritional status, WC, lipid profile have no relationship with hypertension in low-income productive age people in Indonesia. Based on the POR, it was found that obesity, WC, cholesterol and LDL were risk factors for hypertension, whereas triglycerides and HDL did not affect the incidence of hypertension Keywords: nutritional status; waist circumferences; lipid profile; productive age; low income AbstrakLatar Belakang: Pevalensi hipertensi di dunia dewasa ini meningkat dari tahun ke tahun. Data monitor kemajuan penyakit tidak menular (PTM), 2017 menunjukkan bahwa angka dan risiko kematian masyarakat dengan usia produktif di Indonesia cukup tinggi.Penelitian hubungan faktor risiko terhadap hipertensi pada masyarakat usia produktif berpenghasilan rendah di Indonesia belum banyak dikaji lebih dalam. Tujuan: Penelitian yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan status gizi, lingkar pinggang (Lpi) dan profil lipid dengan hipertensi pada masyarakat usia produktif berpenghasilan rendah. Metode: Desain penelitian ini adalah potong lintang. Data identitas dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, data tekanan darah, antropometri, lingkar pinggang diperoleh dengan melakukan pengukuran dan data profil lipid darah, gula darah puasa dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan laboratorium. Data yang telah diperoleh, diuji menggunakan uji Fisher’s exact. Hasil: Sebanyak 50% dari 62 subjek mengalami hipertensi, 38,7% subjek mempunyai status gizi berlebih, 33,9% subjek termasuk obesitas dan 61,9% subjek mempunyai Lpi di atas normal atau obesitas sentral. Sebanyak 37,1% subjek mengalami hiperkolesterolemia, 90,3% mempunyai low density lipoproteinemia (LDL) di atas normal, 16,1% subjek mempunyai high density lipoproteinemia (HDL) dibawah normal dan 22,6% subjek mengalami hipertrigliseridemia. Hasil uji Fisher’s exact menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara status gizi, Lpi dan profil lipid dengan hipertensi. Prevalence odds ratio menunjukkan subjek dengan status gizi berlebih dan obesitas mempunyai risiko 1,63 kali mengalami hipertensi; subjek dengan obesitas sentral mempunyai risiko 1,73 kali mengalami hipertensi; subjek dengan hiperkolesterolemia mempunyai risiko 2,7 kali mengalami hipertensi dan subjek dengan LDL yang tinggi mempunyai risiko 2,15 kali mengalami hipertensi, sedangkan POR HDL dan trigliserida memperlihatkan tidak merupakan faktor risiko hipertensi. Kesimpulan: Status gizi, Lpi, profil lemak darah tidak mempunyai hubungan dengan kejadian hipertensi pada masyarakat usia produktif berpenghasilan rendah. Gizi lebih dan obesitas, Lpi, kolesterol dan LDL merupakan faktor risiko kejadian hipertensi sedangkan, triglieserida dan HDL tidak memengaruhi kejadian hipertensi.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycaemia) due to insufficient production of insulin or the condition where the body cannot use insulin effectively. The condition of chronic hyperglycaemia relates to the damage, dysfunction and failure of organs such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. Diabetes Mellitus and its complications can affect the ability to drive. The prevalence of hyperglycaemia among bus drivers is 52,1%. Body mass Index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and the ratio of waist circumference to height are often associated with the occurrence of type 2 Diabetes, but the results are still heavily influenced by many factors such as ethnicity and gender. This research aims to observe the association of BMI, waist circumference and waist circumference to height ratio to diabetes mellitus among inter-city bus drivers. This is an analytical research with cross-sectional design involving 176 subjects. Fifty four percent subjects were obese, 53.4% of subjects have a waist circumference above 90 cm, 71.6% of subjects with a waist-to-height ratio of over 0.5. The association between BMI and fasting blood sugar was significant (p = 0,035), and also between the waist circumference and fasting blood sugar (p = 0,009). There is no statistically significant association between the ratio of waist circumference to height and fasting blood sugar level (P = 0,274). As Conclusion, The BMI and waist circumference can be used as indicators to the risk of diabetes among bus drivers. Keywords diabetes mellitus, body mass index, waist circumference, waist circumference to height ration, bus driver ABSTRAKDiabetes mellitus (DM) merupakan suatu penyakit metabolik yang ditandai oleh peningkatan kadar gula darah (hiperglikemia) akibat produksi insulin yang tidak mencukupi atau keadaan dimana tubuh tidak dapat menggunakan insulin dengan efektif. Kondisi hiperglikemia kronik berhubungan dengan kerusakan, disfungsi, dan kegagalan dari organ-organ seperti mata, ginjal, saraf, jantung dan pembuluh darah. Diabetes melitus dan komplikasinya dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan mengemudi. Prevalensi hiperglikemia di kalangan pengendara bus sebesar 52,1%. Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT), lingkar pinggang (LP) dan Rasio lingkar pinggang terhadap tinggi badan sering dihubungkan dengan kejadian Diabetes tipe 2, namun hasilnya masih banyak dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor seperti etnis dan jenis kelamin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana hubungan IMT, lingkar pinggang dan rasio lingkar pinggang terhadap tinggi badan dengan diabetes melitus pada pengemudi bus antar kota. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan desain potong lintang yang melibatkan 176 subjek. Didapatkan 54% subjek dengan status gizi obese, 53,4% subjek dengan lingkar pinggang di atas 90 cm, 71,6% subjek dengan rasio lingkar pinggang terhadap tinggi badan di atas 0,5. Didapatkan hubungan yang bermakna secara statistik antara indeks massa tubuh dengan kadar gula darah puasa (p=0,035), antara lingkar pinggang dengan kadar gula darah puasa (p=0,009). Tidak didapatkan hubungan bermakna secara statistik antara rasio lingkar pinggang terhadap tinggi badan dengan kadar gula darah puasa (p=0,274). Sebagai kesimpulan, IMT dan Lingkar pinggang dapat digunakan sebagai parameter terhadap risiko timbulnya diabetes pada pengemudi.

Abstract

Physical activity is essential for children, but unfortunately, it has decreased due to the development of technology. Sedentary behavior in children can cause growth disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. It can also affect child development, including emotional and behavioral disorders, decreased self-confidence, and symptoms of depression. This cross-sectional study was conducted in February-March 2024 in five Ciherang Elementary Schools. The study included 246 children who met the inclusion criteria. Physical activity was assessed using the IPAQ questionnaire, while emotional and behavioral disorders were assessed using the pediatric symptom checklist 17 (PSC-17) questionnaire. Their mean age was 11.83 years. The mean IPAQ score was 62.21 (16.45), and the mean PSC-17 score was 11 (2 – 27). The study found no significant correlation between physical activity and emotional, behavioral, and psychosocial disorders (internalization; p-value = 0.322, attention; p-value=0.515, and externalization; p-value=0.059, and total PSC17 score; p-value=0.944). However, a correlation was found between physical activity and externalizing behavior, with an r-correlation value of 0.121 and an R square of 0.016. Physical activity is associated with externalizing behavior, particularly in children between 10 and 14.

Abstract

Introduction: Coffee is a popular drink among adolescents. However, its effect on cardiovascular performance in this population remains unclear. This study aims to analyze the relationship between coffee consumption and cardiovascular performance in adolescents in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: Cross-sectional observational research was conducted on 350 adolescents aged 15-18 years in Jakarta. Coffee consumption data was collected through a structured questionnaire, while cardiovascular performance was assessed through measurements of blood pressure, heart rate and body mass index (BMI). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between coffee consumption and cardiovascular performance, with adjustment for potential confounding factors. Results: The results of this study provide evidence that excessive coffee consumption (>2 cups/day) can increase blood pressure and resting heart rate in adolescents. However, moderate coffee consumption (1-2 cups/day) does not appear to have a significant negative impact on cardiovascular performance. Conclusion: Excessive coffee consumption (>2 cups/day) has a significant negative impact on adolescents' cardiovascular performance, namely increasing blood pressure and resting heart rate. However, further research is needed to understand the long-term effects and mechanisms underlying this relationship.

Abstract

Optimal lung function is a crucial health indicator, especially in adolescents who are in the growth and development phase. Exercise is known to have a positive impact on lung function, but research evidence on adolescents in Indonesia, especially Jakarta, is still limited. This study aims to examine the effect of exercise on the lung function performance of adolescents in Jakarta, considering the urban context with high levels of air pollution. This cross-sectional observational study involved 350 adolescents aged 12-18 years in Jakarta, randomly selected from various schools. Data collection included a physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ short version), anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist circumference), and spirometry to assess lung function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify associations between exercise and lung function parameters, with adjustment for confounding factors. The results showed that physically active adolescents had significantly higher FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC values compared to less active adolescents (p < 0.001). These results remained significant after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and smoking status. There was no significant relationship between age and lung function parameters. Adolescent boys have higher FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC values than girls. Height and weight are positively correlated with FEV1 and FVC. Exercise has a significant positive effect on the lung function performance of adolescents in Jakarta. These findings support the importance of promoting physical activity in adolescents to improve lung health, especially in urban environments with exposure to air pollution. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings and evaluate the long-term effects of exercise on adolescent lung function.

Abstract

Optimal sleep quality is very important for the health and academic performance of medical students. However, high academic demands often cause lack of sleep and sleep disorders. Exercise has been shown to have a positive effect on sleep quality in the general population, but research on the role of exercise on sleep quality in medical students is still limited. This study aims to identify the relationship between the level of physical activity (exercise) and sleep quality among medical students in Jakarta. This cross-sectional observational study involved 350 medical students from various universities in Jakarta. Physical activity data was collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality, by controlling for confounding variables such as age, gender and stress level. The results showed that medical students who were physically active had a lower risk of experiencing sleep disorders compared to students who were less active. Logistic regression analysis showed that moderate to vigorous physical activity was significantly associated with better sleep quality (OR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.35-0.88; p = 0.012). Exercise has an important role in improving sleep quality in medical students. Exercise-based interventions may be an effective strategy to address sleep problems in this population.

Abstract

Sarcopenia is a progressive degenerative condition characterized by a decrease in muscle mass, strength, and musculoskeletal function, affecting the quality of life of the elderly. This activity aims to screen for vitamin D and educate the elderly about sarcopenia. Community service activities were carried out in nursing homes, involving education and screening of vitamin D levels. The results showed that the majority of respondents were women (79.6%) with an average age of 74.05 years. Most respondents experienced vitamin D deficiency, with 87.1% deficient, 3.2% adequate, and only 9.7% having good levels, with it being found that more women experienced vitamin D deficiency than men. Education regarding the importance of vitamin D and preventing sarcopenia is provided through outreach sessions and poster media. This activity emphasizes the importance of early detection and comprehensive intervention including physical exercise, proper nutritional intake, and lifestyle modification to prevent sarcopenia and improve the quality of life of the elderly. Community-based interventions are needed to address vitamin D deficiency and promote musculoskeletal health in the aging population.
