Abstract

Diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among infants in Indonesia. Formula feeding is often associated with diarrhea, especially among infants under six months of age. Based on 2024 data from the Kupang City Health Office, Sikumana Public Health Center ranked second in diarrhea cases among children under five, with 1,376 reported cases. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population included all infants aged 0–6 months residing in the Sikumana Public Health Center area. A total of 120 infants were selected using a consecutive sampling technique according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to parents and verified with information from the Maternal and Child Health (KIA) book. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. Among the 120 respondents, 21 infants (17.5%) received formula, while 99 infants (82.5%) did not receive formula. A total of 45 infants (37.5%) experienced diarrhea, and 75 infants (62.5%) did not. Data analysis indicated no meaningful connection between formula feeding and the occurrence of diarrhea (p = 0.352). There was no significant association between formula feeding and the rates of diarrhea in infants aged 0–6 months at the Sikumana Public Health Center located in Kupang City.

Abstract

The increasing number of elderly individuals in Indonesia each year is accompanied by a higher prevalence of degenerative diseases, including hypercholesterolemia. However, with advancing age, elderly individuals tend to experience a decline in functional capacity, leading to reduced physical activity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity intensity and total cholesterol levels among elderly residents at the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) in 2025. This analytical study employed a cross-sectional design involving elderly residents of the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Data were examined through both univariate and bivariate analyses employing the Chi-square test with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. A majority of the respondents fell into the young elderly category (60–69 years) and were mostly women. The findings revealed that the greater part of older participants showed low intensity in physical activity while having elevated total cholesterol levels. The Chi-square analysis demonstrated a meaningful connection between the intensity of physical activity and total cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that a decrease in physical activity intensity correlates with an increase in total cholesterol levels among seniors. A noteworthy relationship exists between physical activity intensity and total cholesterol levels in elderly individuals at Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Regular and appropriately tailored physical activity serves as an important strategy to maintain lipid metabolism balance and prevent cardiovascular disease risks in the elderly population.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease with an increasing global prevalence. Effective monitoring and management are essential to reduce disease burden and prevent complications, including through HbA1c assessment and nutritional status evaluation such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), which are feasible in primary health care settings. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and HbA1c levels among patients with Diabetes Mellitus at primary health centers in Kupang City. A cross-sectional design was conducted among 69 respondents selected using consecutive sampling at Oepoi, Sikumana, and Bakunase Primary Health Centers. Data were collected through BMI and MUAC measurements and HbA1c examination and analyzed using Pearson correlation test. The results indicated that most respondents were female, overweight based on BMI, had normal MUAC, and uncontrolled HbA1c levels. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between BMI and HbA1c levels (p > 0.05) nor between MUAC and HbA1c levels (p > 0.05). In conclusion, nutritional status was not significantly associated with HbA1c levels among DM patients. Glycemic control may be influenced by factors beyond anthropometric indicators.

Abstract

Kurangnya akses terhadap air minum aman, fasilitas sanitasi, dan praktik higiene, dapat menjadi penyebab penyakit diare yang terjadi karena infeksi berulang. Hal ini kemudian menjadi penyebab langsung terjadinya stunting pada anak. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan selama bulan Agustus-November 2024 di Desa Kualin, Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan. Kegiatan dilakukan dengan memberikan sosialisasi akan pentingnya air untuk kehidupan dan kesehatan manusia dan diakhiri dengan pembentukan komite air dari warga Desa Kualin. Keberhasilan dari kegiatan ini ditunjukkan dengan adanya keterlibatan serta kehadiran warga saat sosialisasi dilakukan. Hasil dari kegiatan ini tidak hanya membantu dalam instalasi air bersih, pembentukan komite air, dan menghemat biaya dalam memperoleh air bersih, tetapi juga menjadi upaya menurunkan prevalensi stunting pada balita di desa ini. Program Pengabdian Masyarakat yang dilakukan atas kerjasama antara FKKH, Danone, dan Yayasan JPM telah membawa dan memberikan harapan baru bagi masyarakat khususnya Dusun 1, Dusun 2, serta Dusun 4 di Desa Kualin, Kecamatan Kualin, Kabupaten TTS, NTT. Saat ini masyarakat dapat menikmati air bersih dan juga dapat menghemat biaya untuk ketersediaan air bersih di rumah. Ketersediaan air bersih ini diharapkan dapat menurunkan angka kemiskinan dan stunting bagi masyarakat di Desa Kualin.
