Abstract

Elderly individuals often experience physiological and health-related changes, including reduced muscle quality and decreased levels of physical activity. This decline negatively impacts overall health, increases the risk of chronic diseases, and diminishes the ability to perform daily activities. This study aimed to examine the relationship between vitamin D levels and physical activity in older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Bina Bhakti Nursing Home involving 93 participants aged 60 years and above. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while vitamin D levels were measured through venous blood sampling. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation. The average age of the participants was 74.34 years, with a mean vitamin D level of 23.73 ng/mL. Based on IPAQ results, 26.9% of participants had low physical activity, 44.1% moderate, and 29% high. Spearman correlation revealed a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between vitamin D levels and physical activity (r = 0.240, p = 0.021). These findings suggest that higher physical activity levels are associated with higher vitamin D concentrations. Engaging in outdoor activities that promote sun exposure and an active lifestyle contributes to maintaining adequate vitamin D levels, which are essential for muscle function, balance, and bone health. Therefore, ensuring sufficient vitamin D status is crucial for supporting optimal physical activity and enhancing the overall health and quality of life among the elderly.

Abstract

Introduction Hypertension is a silent killer and causes various complications and even death. According to World Health Organization (WHO), hypertension causes 9.4 million deaths per year worldwide. Hypertension is more common in countries with low to middle economic status than in high-income countries. Based on the results of the Riskesdas 2018, there was an increase in the prevalence of hypertension in people aged ?18 years, from 23.8% to 34.1%. DKI Jakarta Province is one of the provinces with a high prevalence of hypertension (34%). University security officers are a group of workers who are at risk of hypertension. This may be due to the work style of the University security officers who are mostly standing and sitting. Studies of security personnel are still rare. Methodology This study is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design to see the correlation of demographic, nutritional and anthropometric factors on hypertension. Results In this study, a total of 90 male  subjects were recruited, with an average age of 30.09 years, 84.4% were educated to high school level, 80% smoked, 88.9% consumed coffee, 92,2% exercised regularly. In this study, it was found that the subject's average body weight was 70.56 kg, the average body mass index of the subject was 24.79 kg/m2, 32.2% of the subjects had an waist circumference of more than 90 cm and the average hip circumference was 97.24 cm. In this study, it was found that 48.9% had high blood pressure, where 8.9% of subjects had systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg and 47.8% of subjects had diastolic blood pressure of ³90 mmHg. There was a positive and significant correlation between age, body weight, BMI, waist circumference and hip circumference with hypertension (p<0.05). Conclusion Increasing age, weight, body mass index, abdominal circumference and pelvic circumference were correlated with hypertension in security officers

Abstract

Background: Tea is a popular drink that is widely consumed in Indonesia. Some studies show the potential benefits of tea on cardiovascular health, but evidence regarding long-term effects in adolescents is limited. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between tea consumption habits and cardiovascular performance in the adolescent population in Jakarta. Methods: This prospective observational cohort study involved 1,500 adolescents aged 15-18 years in Jakarta. Data on tea consumption habits was collected through a structured questionnaire, while cardiovascular performance was measured through blood pressure tests, body mass index (BMI), and treadmill tests. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analyzes were used to identify the association between habitual tea consumption and cardiovascular events over a 5-year period. Results: The results showed that regular tea consumption (≥3 cups/week) was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.48-0.88) and an increase in cardiovascular functional capacity as measured by treadmill testing (HR 0 .72; 95% CI 0.55-0.94). Conclusion: The habit of regular tea consumption among adolescents in Jakarta is associated with a reduced risk of hypertension and improved cardiovascular performance. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying tea's protective effects.

Abstract

Uncontrolled high blood pressure and obesity are global health challenges. Based on the initial survey, participants felt there was no need to carry out regular pressure checks and did not know the importance of measuring abdominal circumference. The Tarumanagara University Faculty of Medicine community service team carried out educational activities on the importance of measuring blood pressure and abdominal circumference for early detection and prevention of hypertension and obesity. The target of the blood pressure and abdominal circumference measurement activity was teaching staff Atisa Dipamkara who was suspected of having high blood pressure and whose family history included hypertension and obesity. The method of implementing the activity is checking blood pressure and waist circumference and direct education regarding the results of blood pressure and abdominal circumference. Screening activities for blood pressure, abdominal circumference and education on the importance of monitoring blood pressure and abdominal circumference measurements were carried out on Monday, September 25 2023, at 7.30-13.00 at Atisa Dipamkara. The service activity was attended by 24 participants consisting of 7 (29.2%) male participants and 17 (70.8%) female participants. The age range of participants is 23-56 years. The mean systolic blood pressure was 114.79 mmHg and the maximum systolic blood pressure was 150 mmHg. The mean diastolic blood pressure was 79.92 mmHg and the maximum diastolic blood pressure was 90 mmHg. Based on the results of the examination, the participants' systolic and diastolic blood pressure were categorized as hypertension. The average abdominal circumference measurement result was 88.33 cm and the maximum abdominal circumference was 113 cm, so based on the results above it was found that the participant's abdominal circumference was categorized as obese.

Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are health challenges in Indonesian society. Sedentary behavior often occurs in urban areas, especially young adults. The impact of a sedentary lifestyle has a negative impact on health and requires lifestyle improvements and physical inactivity is a risk factor for obesity. The aim of this activity is to increase awareness to prevent obesity and sedentary behavior among educational participants. The method of implementing the activity is screening for blood pressure, BMI, physical activity level and direct education regarding BMI results, physical activity level, the importance of walking and physical activity. The targets of health education activities related to obesity and physical activity are young adults in the Pekojan area, West Jakarta. Educational activities to increase awareness to prevent obesity and sedentary behavior were held on Friday 10 November 2023 at 15.00-18.30.
