Abstract

Introduction: Scabies is an infectious disease of the skin caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. This disease is often ignored because it is not life-threatening, but the itching that occurs can interfere with daily life. Scabies is often found in densely populated environments such as Islamic boarding schools, places where students study. Borrowing each other's personal items, living in rooms with high occupancy rates, and having poor habits regarding personal hygiene are risk factors for contracting scabies among students. Objective: Through this background, this research aims to determine the relationship between the level of personal hygiene, housing density, socioeconomic status, and the level of knowledge about scabies among students at the Islamic Boarding School, Serang, Banten. Methods: The research was carried out at the Islamic Boarding School, Serang, Banten with a sample size of 167 respondents. The research design used was a cross-sectional analytical design with a sampling technique using the simple random sampling method. Univariate analysis was carried out by assessing frequencies and percentages. Bivariate analysis of variables was carried out using the chi-square test. Multivariate analysis was performed using multiple linear regression. Results: Respondents in this study totaled 167 respondents. The results of the analysis show that the prevalence of scabies in Islamic boarding schools in Serang City is 47.3%. There is no significant relationship between personal hygiene and scabies prevalence (P = 0.603), and there is a significant relationship between housing density (P = 0.018), socioeconomic status (P = 0.002), and level of knowledge (P = 0.035) on scabies prevalence. at the Serang City Islamic Boarding School. Based on multivariate analysis, a relationship was found between residential density, socioeconomic status, and level of knowledge on scabies prevalence simultaneously. Conclusions: These research results show that factors such as housing density, socioeconomic status, and level of knowledge play an important role in the spread of scabies in Islamic boarding schools even though the students show good results in personal hygiene.

Abstract

This review aimed to explore the anti-aging effects of metformin, which lowers glucose, slows down cell aging through regulating intracellular signaling molecules and activating AMPK, and protects against aging-related diseases. The activation of AMPK by Metformin allows it to control inflammatory conditions, improve oxidative status, regulate differentiation pathways of various cells, and ultimately provide positive therapeutic effects on these cells. Metformin plays a role in several cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, cancer, and fragile X syndrome by improving several parameters in some of these disease conditions. Metformin provides benefits in aging-related diseases, but further studies with various methods and samples are needed to assess the effectiveness and consider the side effects of metformin in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, as well as involving genetic factors associated with metformin.
