Background: Overweight and obesity are rising among Indonesian adolescents and are known risk factors for hypertension. This study aimed to examine the relationship between overnutrition status and blood pressure among adolescents.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to September 2024, among overweight and obese adolescents aged 12–16 years in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. Nutritional status was determined by body mass index (BMI) Z-scores based on CDC growth charts, adjusted for sex and age. Blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer and classified according to the 2017 AAP guidelines. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests. Results: A total of 98 adolescents participated (67.3% male; mean age 13 years). Overweight (49%) and obesity (51%) were almost equally distributed, with the highest BMI recorded at 46.7 kg/m². More than half (58.2%) had elevated blood pressure, with one case reaching grade 2 hypertension (143/84 mmHg). Overnutrition status was significantly associated with elevated blood pressure (p=0.044). Stratified analysis showed a strong association among males (p=0.005), where 42.4% of obese males exhibited elevated blood pressure, but no significant association was observed among females (p=0.58).Conclusion: Overnutrition is significantly associated with elevated blood pressure among adolescents, particularly in males. Early interventions promoting balanced nutrition, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle habits are critical to reducing the long-term cardiovascular risk in this age group.

Diabetes Mellitus adalah gangguan metabolik yang ditandai dengan hiperglikemia kronis akibat gangguan regulasi glukosa. Di Indonesia, prevalensi diabetes pada orang dewasa mencapai 10,8%. Penyakit tiroid, yang disebabkan oleh kelainan fungsi kelenjar tiroid, juga menjadi masalah kesehatan yang mempengaruhi metabolisme tubuh. Pemeriksaan HbA1c dan TSH memiliki peran penting dalam deteksi dini dan pengelolaan kondisi ini. HbA1c mencerminkan kontrol glukosa darah selama 2-3 bulan terakhir, sedangkan TSH digunakan untuk mendeteksi gangguan fungsi tiroid. Program bakti sosial yang diadakan di Gereja Katolik Santo Petrus & Paulus, Jakarta Barat, diikuti oleh 43 peserta. Hasilnya menunjukkan 6 orang (13,95%) memiliki kadar HbA1c ≥6,5%, di mana 4 orang baru terdiagnosa diabetes. Selain itu, 8 orang (18,60%) memiliki kadar TSH <0,45 mU/L, yang mengindikasikan kemungkinan hipertiroidisme. Program ini dapat meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya deteksi dini dan pengelolaan penyakit. Kegiatan serupa sebaiknya dilakukan secara rutin dengan tambahan edukasi kesehatan mengenai pencegahan penyakit tidak menular dan pola hidup sehat untuk dampak yang lebih luas

Highlights: 1. This is the first cross-sectional study in Indonesia that was conducted specifically to find a correlation between physical activity levels and food intake. 2. As lower physical activity was found to be associated with higher food intake, this study suggests that physical activity might be taken into consideration to manipulate one's food consumption Abstract One of the most crucial things a person can do to enhance the well-being of their body is to engage in regular physical activity. However, currently, there are still many people who have low physical activity levels. It is stated that habitual physical activity can affect the sensitivity of food intake regulation. This study aimed to determine the correlation between the total food intake and physical activity of preclinical students. This study was conducted using the cross-sectional method among preclinical students (n=238) in the classes of 2017, 2018, and 2019 at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia. Subjects with appetite-manipulating supplements, a diet program, a history of metabolic disease, a history of eating disorders, stress, or trauma were excluded from this study. The physical activity level was evaluated using the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire (BPAQ), while the total food intake was evaluated using the three-day food record method. The statistical test applied in this study was the Spearman test, with a significance of p<0.05. There were 22.3% of respondents with a low physical activity level, and there were 9.7% of respondents with a total food intake higher than recommended. The statistical analysis showed a significant negative correlation between physical activity levels and total food intake (p=0.008). In conclusion, there is an association between students' physical activity levels and their total food intake.

Introduction: Menopause causes somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms as risk factors for insomnia. This study aims to determine the relationship between menopause symptoms and insomnia in the pre-elderly. Methods: Descriptive analytical study using a cross-sectional method. The variables in this study were menopause symptoms and the severity of insomnia as measured by the MRS and ISI questionnaire. The sample consisted of 107 pre-elderly menopausal women at a church in South Tangerang, using the convenience sampling method. Data analysis included univariate analysis (descriptive statistics) to examine sample characteristics and bivariate analysis with the Kruskal-Wallis test to examine the relationship between menopausal symptoms and the severity of insomnia. Results: A significant relationship between menopause symptoms and the severity of insomnia (p < 0.05). Based on each insomnia severity, the highest mean rank of respondents who experienced moderate clinical insomnia had somatic symptoms (90.44), the highest mean rank of respondents who experienced subthreshold insomnia had psychological symptoms (75.59), and the highest mean rank of respondents who did not experience insomnia had urogenital symptoms (42.91). Conclusion: Menopause symptoms are significantly related to the severity of insomnia in pre-elderly individuals.
