Abstract

Background: Asthma is ranked 16th among the leading causes of years lived with disability (YLD) and ranks 28th among the causes of global burden of disease (GBD). Various potential factors can cause asthma, which include body mass index (BMI) and gender. Purpose: This research aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and gender in people living with asthma in Indonesia. Methods: This research employed secondary data obtained from the Indonesian family life support (IFLS) 5th edition. This research used an observational analysis technique with a cross-sectional approach. The number of respondents in this research were 30,713. In this study, the BMI category was based on WHO’s classification for Asians. Data was analyzed using logistic regression tests and chi square. Statistical significance was set at a value of p<0.05. Results: As many as 17,175 respondents had a normal BMI range (56.92%), out of which the majority were women—16,001 respondents (52.10%). After controlling the other variables, statistical test results with logistic regression indicated that male respondents had 1.23 times the odds of experiencing asthma compared to females (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=1.23; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04–1.44; p=0.02). Again, after controlling the other variables, underweight respondents had 1.31 times the odds of experiencing asthma compared to respondents who had a normal BMI (AOR=1.31; 95%CI=1.07–1.59; p=0.01). Conclusion: A relationship between gender and the category of people who were underweight after determining their BMI could be established. Health counseling can be provided to help improve the respiratory conditions of these individuals.

Abstract

Ecotourism is a tourism development concept that promotes tourism that is friendly to environmental and cultural sustainability and impacts the local economy. As part of the strategic area for tourism development in Indonesia, Bukit Matoa, Kelurahan Mata Air, West Sumatra has the potential to be developed as an ecotourism area. Based on a field survey, the group discovered that Matoa Hill still required additional development from numerous perspectives, particularly in occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental health, to become an ecotourism area. The methods used in this project were interviews, observation, documentation, and literature studies. From the results, it was found that in the environmental health aspect, it was found that the availability of clean water and environmental sanitation facilities was inadequate. So, the group prepared a Bukit Matoa ecotourism plan regarding the OHS and environmental health to become a reference for the local government in planning, implementing and developing ecotourism. It hopes the development activities of Bukit Matoa can be more focused and planned.
