Abstract

A few decades ago it was generally accepted from experimental studies, animal experiments, and epidemiological cohort studies that atherogenesis is linked to oxidative stress and that antioxidant supplementation, notably vitamin E supplementation, is associated with a low incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This view led to the widespread use of vitamin E and other antioxidants for reducing CVD morbidity and mortality. In vitro and animal studies on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of alpha- and gamma-tocopherols also found that these antioxidants had anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract

Worldwide, the proportion of people aged 60 and over is growing faster than any other age group. It has been well-established that the aging process can be associated with increased susceptibility to chronic conditions, disability, and co-morbidity, which however may be minimized or even partially reversed by physical activity. The assessment of physical activity is becoming an increasingly important component in the evaluation of elderly persons. Nutritional intake and status play an essential role in determining the physical activity level potentially capable of minimizing the health burden of older persons. The objective of this study was to find out whether nutritional intake and status were correlated with physical activity in community-dwelling older persons. The study population included 219 aged 60 to 69 years, of whom complete measures of socio-demographic characteristics, nutritional status, nutritional intake and physical activity were obtained. Serum total protein, albumin, globulin and hemoglobin concentration were measured as nutritional indicators (biomarkers). The nutrient content of food intakes was analyzed and calculated by “Nutrisurvey” software. Analysis indicated that there was a significant correlation between nutritional biomarkers [total protein (r=-0.211; p=0.002) and globulin (r=-0.247; p=0.000)] and physical activity. Compared to other food intakes, intakes of carbohydrate (r=0.241; p=0.001) and animal protein (r=0.149; p=0.027) were significantly correlated with physical activity. Our findings lend support to the existence among healthy older persons of a relationship between nutrional intake and status and physical activity.

Abstract

Latar BelakangJumlah populasi dan umur harapan hidup lanjut usia (lansia) semakin meningkat akibat perbaikan dari pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat dan intervensi kedokteran. Dengan semakin meningkatnya umur harapan hidup, maka sangat penting untuk memperbaiki kualitas hidup lansia. World Health Organization (WHO) telah mengembangkan sebuah instrumen untuk mengukur kualitas hidup seseorang yaitu WHO Quality of Life -BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). WHOQOL-BREF terdiri dari empat domain yaitu fisik, psikologik, sosial dan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai validitas dan reliabilitas dari WHOQOL-BREF sebagai instrumen untuk mengukur kualitas hidup lansia. MetodeSebuah rancangan potong silang dilakukan di Kecamatan Mampang, Jakarta Selatan. Selama dua bulan (Oktober dan November 2005) sebanyak 306 lansia (usia ³60 tahun, mampu berjalan, mampu berkomunikasi, dan tidak dalam kedaan terminal) bersedia ikut serta dalam penelitian. Sepuluh pewancara yang sudah dilatih mengumpulkan informasi tentang umur, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, status pernikahan, dan kualitas hidup. HasilHasil penelitian menunjukkan distribusi skor setiap domain dari WHOQOL-BREF adalah simetris dan tidak didapatkan efek floor atau ceiling. Validitas diskriminan, validitas konstruk, dan konsistensi internal menunjukkan hasil yang baik dari skor keempat domain. Namun terdapat dua item pertanyaan yaitu tentang perasaan negatif dan kepuasan hidup seksual yang menunjukkan korelasi yang lemah dengan domain psikologik dan sosial. Kedua pertanyaan ini harus dimodifikasi supaya lebih mudah dipahami oleh lansia. KesimpulanWHOQOL-BREF merupakan instrumen yang valid dan reliable untuk mengukur kualitas hidup lansia, tetapi masih diperlukan sedikit perbaikan.

Abstract

Obesity in many countries is a major public health problem. The health problems associated with an increase in the proportion of elderly in the population are further compounded by the increasing prevalence of obesity and overweight in older people. The aimed of this study was to explore any difference of quality of life (QOL) attributable body mass index (BMI) categories using the WHOQOL-BREF instruments. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in Mampang Prapatan district, South Jakarta. A total of 296 free-living elderly aged 60 years and above were participated in this study. BMI was calculated as the weight (kg) divided by the square of the height (m2). Quality of life was measured by WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire in the Indonesian language version. The results showed that the percentage of overweight subjects was 27.5% in male and 22.2% in female elderly, while the percentage of obese subjects was respectively 8.3 and 13.2.1% respectively. In males, the mean scores on each domain of the QOL were higher compared with females. The significant differences were in social relationship (p=0.000) and environment (p=0018) domains. Among male and female elderly the highest mean scores of each domain of QOL was observed in the environment domain, and mean scores of the environment domain was significantly higher in males compare with females (p=0.018). The results have practical implications for the health of older persons because they show that the overweight have a worse score in two QOL domains, namely psychological health and environment.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important global cause of mortality, morbidity, and health-system costs,(1,2) with significant increases in its prevalence and number of cases in the last 30 years. It constitutes one of the four non communicable diseases (NCDs) targeted for action by world leaders.According to WHO estimates, in 2014 there were 422 million adults with DM aged 18 years or older, with around half in the WHO South-East Asia and Western Pacific Regions.(3) The prevalence of DM and the number of adults with DM in low- and middle-income countries have over the last decade increased at a greater rate than in high-income countries. The global DM prevalence increased by more than 100% in men and by 60% in women, resulting in a predominance of males with DM in 2014 as compared with a higher DM female prevalence in 1980.
