Abstract

Vitamin D testing increased significantly during the Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemics due to its role in regulating the immune system. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency is associated with susceptibility to various diseases that may affect the quality of life regarding physical health, psychological well-being, social and environmental aspects. The study aimed to determine whether there is an association between vitamin D intake and quality of life in the 17 to 35-year-old age group. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to November 2021. The sample consisted of students from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, and their relatives in the same age group, who were selected using a consecutive sampling. Vitamin D intake was measured using Vitamin D Estimation Only - Food Frequency Questionnaire (VIDEO-FFQ). At the same time, the quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Of the 127 respondents, the results showed that most of respondents had inadequate vitamin D intake and good quality of life (68.50%;59.10%). The highest mean of the four quality of life domains belongs to the environmental domain (3.94) with a standard deviation (SD) of ± 0.83. Data analysis showed no significant correlation between vitamin D intake and quality of life (p>0.05). The conclusion shows that there was no correlation between vitamin D intake and quality of life in the 17–35-year age group.

Abstract

Globally, there is an increasing prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, including in Southeast Asia, which ranges from 6% to 70%. Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium metabolism and bone health. Melanin is one factor that contributes to vitamin D deficiency. It has photoprotective properties that inhibit vitamin D synthesis, but the mechanism has not been fully understood. To determine the mechanism of the association between melanin and vitamin D, this systematic review was conducted on 11 articles, including cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, and randomised controlled trials published from 2010 to 2020. The search included Pubmed, EBSCO, and Proquest databases, and data were synthesised from 11 studies. This critical review found nine of the 11 studies reported a significant association between melanin and vitamin D, while two reported non-significant results. Of the nine significant studies, eight reported that people with higher melanin have lower vitamin D levels, while one study suggested that melanin levels do not necessarily associate with lower vitamin D levels. In conclusion, the review establishes a significant association between melanin and vitamin D.

than other populations with the same body mass index (BMI). Fat accumulation is suspected of mediating the rise and fall of Vitamin D levels linked to BMI. However, the results of studies assessing the association between BMI and Vitamin D serum in Asian population still varied. This study is conducted to determine the association between BMI and vitamin D serum in the Asian population. Methods: This study was conducted with a systematic review method to identify scientific articles reporting the association between BMI and Vitamin D serum in the Asian population. The data collected for this systematic review were from 5,477 studies filtered with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in eleven studies presenting 7,496 respondents. Results: Nine studies concluded an association between increasing BMI from the normal range and decreasing Vitamin D serum (p<0,05). One study has concluded an association between decreasing BMI from the normal range and decreasing Vitamin D serum (p<0,05). Another has concluded there is no association between BMI and Vitamin D serum (p>0,05). Conclusion:This systematic review study concludes an association between increasing and decreasing BMI with decreasing Vitamin D serum in the Asian population. Further study using clinical trial in obese people and control to compare the metabolism of Vitamin D should be conducted.

Abstract

Introduction: This study investigates the correlation between maternal knowledge and attitudes and their impact on preventing Acute Respiratory Infections (ARIs) in under two children in Lewoleba, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. With a focus on this region with limited prior research, the study explores howa mother's understanding and approach toward ARI prevention measures may contribute to improved child health outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study investigated the association between maternal knowledge and attitudes and their impact on preventing ARIs in children under two years old in Lewoleba, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The study administered structured questionnaires to gather data on maternal knowledge and attitude toward ARIs, behavior toward prevention, and demographic information. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis to evaluate the association. Results: Of 144 respondents, 81.3% showed high ARI knowledge, but only 54.9% had positive attitudes, and 53.2% exhibited good behaviors. The Chi-square test revealed a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude with ARI behavior (P<0.05) among mothers with children aged 0-24 months in Lewoleba Primary Health Centre, Nubatukan District, Lembata Regency. Specifically, mothers with high knowledge had a 2.31 prevalence ratio (PR) for good ARI-related behaviors compared to those with low ability. In contrast, those with positive attitudes had a 1.52 PR for such behaviors. Conclusions: This study revealed a connection between mothers' knowledge and attitudes concerning ARI in children under two and their preventive actions. Despite a relative scarcity of good behaviors compared to strong knowledge and positive attitudes, the findings underscore that higher knowledge scores and more positive attitudes lead to significantly better behavioral outcomes. Keywords: acute respiratory infections - attitude - behavior - knowledge - prevention.

Abstract

Introduction: This study investigated the relationship between food addiction and stress among clinical rotation medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. While prior research has examined the impact of mental and physical well-being on medical students, the exploration of food addiction in this demographic has been limited. Methods: The survey study includes 355 clinical-level medical students. Stress levels are assessed using the Coronavirus Stress Measure (CSM) questionnaire, while food addiction is evaluated with the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 questionnaire. Comparative analysis was performed to see the association between food addiction and the stress level related to COVID-19. Results: Both questionnaires indicate good validity and reliability measures. Medical students exhibited lower stress levels during the pandemic than the general population. Approximately 30.1% of students showed signs of food addiction, with most cases classified as mild. Food addiction was significantly higher among women, partially influenced by the dominant presence of female students. The study reveals a significant connection between food addiction and stress levels among medical students (p<0.001). Those with moderate and severe food addiction experience notably higher stress (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study highlights the prevalence of food addiction among medical students and its association with increased stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. It underscores the need for further research and support mechanisms to address food addiction and stress management among medical students, ultimately promoting their overall well-being and academic success.

Abstract

Background: Little is known about the perceived health of the Indonesian Deaf despite the rapid growth of the Deaf community and social organizations. Objective: The study aimed to investigate self-perceived health and related determinants among deaf adults in a Deaf community in East Java, Indonesia. Method: A survey study was conducted on 102 community members. Perceived health was assessed using a question: ‘In a scale of 1 to 10, how much will you give to rate your health?’. After stepwise suggestion and collinearity analysis, the association of demographic and health conditions was analyzed using logistic regression.Result: A High perceived health scale was reported from 77% of the members. Low perceived health was mainly stated by individuals from the 25–45 age, female, married, and working groups. Although most had no health complaints in the last month, 60% were hospitalized in the previous year. Lower educational levels, owned health insurance, frequently consuming vegetables, and fruits, and never being hospitalized were associated (p<0.05) with higher self-perceived health. Conclusion: Despite the high self-perceived health reported from most Deaf community members, the overall self-reported health conditions of Deaf community members are still a concern due to the high rate of hospitalization and lack of objective health assessment.

Abstract

Prehypertension is a condition that can increase the risk of developing hypertension and lead to various diseases such as cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, and chronic kidney disease. Lifestyle factors significantly influence blood pressure, with obesity being one of the key risk factors for prehypertension. Obesity can be assessed using anthropometric measurements such as Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) and A Body Shape Index (ABSI). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between WHR and ABSI with prehypertension among male students at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia. The study employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The respondents consisted of active male medical students from the class of 2019–2021, with data collected using random proportional-to-size sampling. Among the 74 respondents, 28.4% had normotensive blood pressure, while 71.6% exhibited elevated blood pressure. Regarding WHR, 28.4% of respondents had values indicating a risk of hypertension, and for ABSI, 25.7% of respondents had values indicating similar risks. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between WHR and ABSI with prehypertension (p = 0.024, p = 0.045). In conclusion, this study found a significant association between WHR and ABSI with prehypertension among male medical students at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia.

Abstract

BACKGROUND In Indonesia, primary school begins at 6 years old and continues until 12, where most of their growth is experienced at that age. Non-ergonomic school furniture can harm the musculoskeletal system. This study evaluates the suitability of chair dimensions to elementary school student’s anthropometry in North Jakarta. METHODSA cross-sectional study of 98 students in North Jakarta. Chair dimension data and student anthropometry were measured using a tape measure, which was then analyzed using the Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test to evaluate their suitability. RESULTSThe ages of the students ranged from 5 to 11 years. Anthropometric measurements of students show that the mean Sitting Shoulder Height is 41.81±4.36 cm, Popliteal Height 36.83±3.77 cm, Hip Breadth 25.88±3.47 cm, and Buttock-Popliteal Length 36.56±4.33 cm. While the average size assessed from the seat dimensions is Seat Height 41.71±0.22 cm, Seat Width 37.2±1.26 cm, Seat Depth 37.2±1.42 cm, and Backrest Height Above Seat 35.54±3.19 cm. The results of Goodness of Fit with Kendall's Tau-b critical value for the suitability of chair dimensions to student anthropometry were 0.37, and vice versa 0.672, which stated a discrepancy. CONCLUSIONThere is a mismatch between chair dimension and anthropometry of elementary school students in North Jakarta. Adjustment of chair dimensions needs to be done using a student's average size approach to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.
