Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is an important indicator in efforts to control non-communicable diseases. The incidence of metabolic syndrome is directly proportional to the incidence of obesity while the prevalence of metabolic syndrome varies based on sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle. Efforts to identify metabolic syndrome in the community are a crucial step to identify early the potential for hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes mellitus. This study aims to identify components of metabolic syndrome based on gender. Cross sectional study is the research design that underlies data collection on risk factors for metabolic syndrome which is carried out through interviews and measurements of height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and cholesterol levels using NCEP-III criteria as the basis for identifying metabolic syndrome. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test. The metabolic syndrome component in the form of obesity is identified in men and women using different indicators. Both men and women have experienced increases in systolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels. A history of smoking was the only risk factor for metabolic syndrome with a statistically significant difference in proportion between men and women. Behavioral modifications such as eating patterns, rest, and others according to the guidance of the Koran and hadith are needed to minimize the incidence of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

Background:Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) has emerged as the leading cause of death among infectious diseases globally. This is attributed to a complex interaction of factors, including host-related risk factors, infecting agents, and environmental conditions. The Southeast Asia and West Pacific regions account for 58% of all tuberculosis cases, with Indonesia reporting the second highest prevalence of tuberculosis globally (10%), following India, which accounts for 23% of global cases. Objective:This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis on small islands in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods:This research employed a case-control study design. Several explanatory variables were considered: age, gender, knowledge, nutritional status, occupant density, ventilation area, humidity levels, and type of flooring. The occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis was designated as the dependent variable. The study sample consisted of 240 respondents, with 120 cases and 120 controls, all residing on three small islands—Sembilan Island, Balang Lompo Island, and Salemo Island—all sharing similar characteristics. Results:The study identified several factors associated with an increased risk of pulmonary tuberculosis. These factors included gender (OR = 1.71, 95% CI 0.61-4.77), knowledge (OR = 3.143, 95% CI 1.06-9.26), occupant density (OR = 1.52, 95% CI 0.42-5.47), area of ventilation (OR = 6.00, 95% CI 1.17-30.72), humidity (OR = 3.763, 95% CI 1.03-13.64), and type of floor (OR = 1.144, 95% CI 0.41-3.16). In contrast, age and nutritional status were not identified as risk factors for pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion:Environmental factors such as occupant density, area of ventilation, humidity, and type of floor were found to be significant risk factors for the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in small islands of South Sulawesi. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions addressing these modifiable environmental conditions to reduce the burden of tuberculosis.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent fertility has a negative impact on their generation and the generations they are born with. This incident was motivated by multi factors, but in South Sulawesi Province it has not been studied extensively. This research aims to study the factors that influence adolescent fertility in South Sulawesi Province. Method: Population-based research that used secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) with a cross sectional study approach. The 2017 IDHS sample is the result of a multi-stage stratified design. In this study, we filtered adolescents aged 15-19 years who lived in South Sulawesi Province resulting in 336 people. Used multivariate logistic regression with the aim of controlling for potential cofounder variables Results: 8.4% proportion of adolescent fertility. Aged 18-19 years the largest determinant of adolescent fertility (aOR=8.6; 95%CI 2.82 - 26.49), respondents never used the internet with aOR: 3.8 (95% CI 0.00 – 0.01), low education level with aOR: 6.8 (95% CI 0.79 – 59.39), being no longer in school at the time of the survey with aOR: 3.5 (95%CI 0.42 – 30.07) of experiencing teenage fertility. Fertility variables based on education level and schooling status did not show statistically significant differences, but were retained in multivariate analysis for substantial consideration. Conclusion: Aged 18-19 years, low education level, not currently in school at the time of the survey, and respondents never used the internet were determinants of adolescent fertility in South Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent social anxiety, particularly among females, is reported at 28.2% versus 25.4% among males. Globally, it affects about 7% of the population annually and contributes to higher risks of non-communicable and mental disorders. Social media, especially TikTok, is suspected to play a crucial role in this issue. Aims: This study compared the relationship between TikTok use intensity and social anxiety among female students from two educational settings: SMAN 9 Makassar (public) and SMA IT Ar-Rahmah (Islamic-based private). Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional design was used with 86 respondents selected through multistage and total sampling. Instruments included the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A), four questionnaires on social media use, and Welltory for physiological data. Results: Social anxiety was reported by 55.8% and 46.4% of SMAN 9 Makassar and SMA IT Ar-Rahmah students, respectively. The Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant difference between schools (p=0.163). The Chi-Square test revealed a significant relationship between TikTok use intensity and social anxiety (p=0.000). Duration of use also differed significantly (p=0.019), with SMAN 9 and SMA IT Ar-Rahmah students averaging 112.7 and 73.8 minutes/day. TikTok content type was significantly related to social anxiety at SMAN 9 Makassar (p=0.000) but not at SMA IT Ar-Rahmah (p=0.960). User activity and general social media intensity showed no significant link. Conclusion: Social anxiety levels did not differ significantly between schools, but TikTok use intensity and content type were strongly associated. Multilevel interventions involving screening, digital literacy, and policy collaboration are recommended.
