Abstract

Indonesia is experiencing the rise of childhood obesity prevalence, and the majority profound in low socioeconomic areas, which may aggravate the harmful impacts on the children's growth and health. This study was conducted to find significant factors of childhood obesity in low socioeconomic areas. A cross-sectional study design was carried out at two public elementary schools in Penjaringan subdistrict, North Jakarta. All students in both schools participated in the study and were selected based on inclusion criteria. A total of 731 students (grades 1 to 6) were eligible. The nutritional status was assessed by trained staff by calculating the Body Mass Index (BMI) for age and classifying the outcome based on the WHO z-scores chart. Parents filled a demographic and socioeconomic questionnaire to collect children's birthdate, parents' educational level, employment status, income, and health insurance. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association. The prevalence of obesity among students was 13.41%. The regression showed that male and younger students were likely to be obese. The students whose mothers were in secondary level of education, have an unemployed father, or in the low-income family (p<0.05) were more likely to be obese. The study shows that male and younger students were associated with childhood obesity. Besides, educated mothers, unemployed fathers, and families with low income tend to have obese children. The school needs to have a specific program for male and younger age students to increase healthy habits. Nutrition assessment, recommendation, and parents' involvement in school-based health programs need to be enhanced.

Abstract

Central obesity, widely known as a major cardiovascular disease risk factor, threatens the urban poor more than other socio-economic groups. The study intended to disclose the prevalence and determinants of central obesity in urban slum dwellers in North Jakarta. We conducted a survey study on residents aged 15 and above. The study randomly recruited two hundred forty-eight residents for direct interviews and body measurements according to the minimum sample requirement. Sociodemographic and Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) risk factors questionnaires were used and asked after weight, height, and waist circumference measurements. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the central obesity prevalence and associated determinants. The central obesity prevalence in urban slum dwellers reaches 68.1%, presiding in women (69.4%) than men (65.3%). The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis indicates that central obesity was higher in the 30-59 y.o age group (Prevalence Ratio [PR]= 1.68; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.19-2.37) and ≥ 60 y.o age group (PR = 1.76; 95%CI = 1.20-1.41). Besides, the residents who do not eat fruits and vegetables daily (PR=1.20; 95%CI=1.01-1.41) and practice less physical activity (PR=1.25; 95%CI=1.01-1.56) were more likely to have central obesity. The productive age group and elderly are at a higher risk for central obesity in an urban slum. Although notable as the main risk factors for central obesity, less consumption of fruits, vegetables and lack of physical activity highlight the urgent need to provide affordable, healthier options for urban slum dwellers.

Abstract

The state of prehypertension that is often neglected in young adults is not inferior to hypertension in contributing to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Several simple anthropometric indices may be used as prehypertension prognostic tools, including Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Shape Index (ABSI), Waist Circumference (WC), Weight to Height Ratio (WHtr), and Body Roundness Index (BRI). This study aimed to compare several anthropometric examinations for detecting prehypertension in male medical students. The cross-sectional study design was conducted on 107 male medical students. Direct measurements of the respondents were carried out with blood pressure data collection and anthropometric examination. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AROC) analysis with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess all anthropometric measures’ discriminatory power to assess the risk of prehypertension in the participants. Participants with prehypertension were relatively older and had less active physical activity than normotensive (p<0.05). The mean BMI, BRI, WC, and WHtR were significantly higher in the prehypertensive group than in the normotensive group. However, ABSI was not showing any relationship with blood pressure. The process with 95% CI of blood pressure classification related to anthropometric measures indicates that BMI showed the highest AROC values for the prehypertensive state (AROC: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.63–0.82), and WC had the lowest AROCs (AROC: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.52–0.63). BMI, BRI, WC, and WHtr may be applied as prognostic assessments for prehypertension states in young adult males.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Depression is a mental disorder with a high prevalence among young adults in Indonesia. Environmental factors such as sunlight and PM2.5 potentially influencing risk of depression. This study aimed to determine the levels of sunlight and PM2.5 exposure and their association with depression among young adults in urban Jakarta. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design conducted in Penjaringan, North Jakarta during December 2023 to November 2024. Sample was 90 young adults recruited using consecutive sampling methods. Data were collected using structured questionnaire to assess sun exposure and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess depression. The PM2.5 air-quality monitoring data was obtained from the World Air Quality Index (AQICN) platform. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically using frequency distributions and the Chi-square test. Results: The mean age of respondent were 21.92 years old, 62.2% were male and 75.6% were working. Overall, 45.6% had high PM2.5 exposure, while 53.3% had low sun exposure and 45.6% had depression. PM2.5 exposure was significantly associated with depression (OR=2.66; 95%CI: 1.13–6.25), whereas sun exposure was not (OR=1.47; 95%CI: 0.64–3.39). Conclusion: The study identified substantial PM2.5 exposure and depressive symptoms among young adults, with higher PM2.5 exposure significantly associated with depression. Public health interventions should prioritize reducing air pollution and promoting healthier urban environments alongside mental health programs
