Abstract

Based on data from Riskesdas 2013, in line with increasing age the prevalence of joint disease has increased. The trigger is abnormal metabolic processes in the body and 10% of cases occur in postmenopausal women because the production of the hormone estrogen is disrupted. If treatment is not carried out, it will result in chronic gouty arthritis, resulting in paralysis. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of uric acid levels in postmenopausal women in Berahan Kulon Village, Wedung District, Demak Regency. The research method used is an observational study with a cross sectional approach. Of the 20 research subjects, 1 research subject had low uric acid levels, 9 research subjects had normal uric acid levels, and 10 research subjects had high uric acid levels. High uric acid levels were dominated by the age group 51-55 years, menopause duration 6-10 years and 10 years, no history of heredity, and consumption of foods high in uric acid 3-5 times/week and 5 times/week. The conclusion of this study is that 5% of postmenopausal women have low uric acid levels, 45% have normal uric acid levels, and 50% have high uric acid levels.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is the 4th most common malignancy in Indonesia, after breast, cervical and lung cancer. The risk factors for this cancer are Epstein-Barr virus, gender, race, adult age 30-50 years, family history, drinking alcohol and smoking. The prevalence of NPC in Indonesia is 6.2/100,000, with nearly 13,000 new cases, but this is a small proportion that has been documented. Adham et al (2012) reported that NPC is the most common head and neck cancer (28.4%), with a male-female ratio of 2:4 and is endemic to the island of Java. The existence of knowledge about NPC starting from prevention, early detection, appropriate treatment will be able to help overcome problems caused by nasopharyngeal cancer. Early detection is very important. If NPC is found at an early stage, the cure rate is quite high, reaching 90%. The purpose of this study was to find out whether there were gas station workers in Semarang City who experienced NPC. This study used an analytic survey method with a cross-sectional approach. The results of the study of 20 Semarang City Gas Station officers found that the characteristics based on age were the most in the range 31-50, namely 70%. Characteristics based on gender of the 20 gas station attendants are all male (100%). Characteristics based on length of service are 1 - 10 years (35%), 11 - 20 years (35%) and 21 - 30 years (30%) respectively. Characteristics based on smoking history, 55% of respondents smoked and 45% did not smoke. And the NPC examination results of all respondents (100%) were NPC negative.
