Abstract

The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia is rapidly increasing, particularly in older people. Obesity is characterized by increased percentage of body fat in the form of visceral fat and non-visceral or subcutaneous fat. The aim of this study was to analyze body fat percentage (BFP) and associated risk factors, i.e. type of residence (rural or urban), physical activity, gender, age, intakes of energy and fat, and socio-economic background (educational level and occupational status). This cross-sectional study was conducted on 812 older persons (517 females and 295 males) from December 2007- February 2008 in the cities of Surabaya, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Wonogiri, Gunung Kidul, and Magetan subdistricts. BFP was assessed using an Omron Fat Analyzer. Nutritional intakes were collected through interviews using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). To obtain overall total energy expenditure for physical activity (PA), the energy expenditures for exercise (sports) PA, daily activities, and leisure time PA were added together. The study results indicated that urban residence and light PA at age 55 years constituted risk factors for high BFP. Light PA at 55 years of age was the most influential risk factor, since it was 4.3 times greater than vigorous PA at the same age (OR=4.3; 95% Confidence interval 2.6-7.1) It is recommended to implement nutritional counseling about adequate intakes for increased PA in all age groups (adolescents, adults, older persons), particularly in urban areas with their greater risk of high BFP.

Abstract

Upaya dini pencegahan kebakaran telah mampu menurunkan risiko kecelakaan di lingkungan permukiman padat perkotaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kebutuhan masyarakat dalam mitigasi kebakaran, menilai bentuk-bentuk penanggulangan kebakaran di masyarakat dan mengembangkan model berbasis masyarakat dalam mitigasi kebakaran. Kelompok diskusi terarah dilakukan pada 130 informan yang terdiri dari unsur-unsur rukun tetangga, rukun warga, pembinaan kesejahteraan keluarga, perlindungan masyarakat atau pertahanan sipil, tokoh masyarakat, dewan kelurahan, karang taruna, dan anggota barisan sukarelawan kebakaran (Balakar). Seluruh informan menilai bahwa masyarakat perlu memiliki tujuan bersama dan motivasi yang kuat untuk mencegah kebakaran guna menurunkan risiko kebakaran serta mencegah dan meminimalkan korban. Bentuk-bentuk partisipasi masyarakat yang telah dilakukan dalam mencegah kebakaran adalah saling mengingatkan warga lain tentang bahaya kebakaran, remaja dan hansip mengikuti pelatihan Balakar di kelurahan dan setelah pelatihan mempersiapkan kelompok remaja sebagai pelopor yang bergerak memadamkan api saat terjadi kebakaran, serta mempraktekkan perilaku aman saat menggunakan peralatan listrik dan kompor di rumah. Namun demikina, informan belum memiliki suatu model berbasis masyarakat yang khusus menangani kebakaran, kecuali Balakar. Melalui pengembangan model berbasis komunitas ini diharapkan kejadian kebakaran dapat diminimalisir sehingga kejadian kebakaran tidak meningkat pada masa mendatang. The efforts on fire prevention and early fire fighting can reduce fire risk mainly in urban slum area. The research objectives were to identify needs community on fire mitigation, to assess types of fire controlling in community, and to develop community-based model in fire mitigation. Focus group discussions were conducted in 130 informants consisted of RT, RW, PKK, linmas/hansip, community leaders, dewan kelurahan, youth organization, and balakar members. All informants considered that community should have the similar objective and strong motivation on fire prevention to reduce fire cases, and also to minimize the number of victims. There were a lot of types of preventive efforts on fire cases i.e. reminding other people on fire dangers, youth people and security staffs involved in balakar training at village office, and practicing safe behavior when using electrical tools/kits and stove at home. However, some informants said that they had no specific other community based model on fire prevention, except balakar. By developing community based model, it can reduce fire cases in order not to increase anymore in future.
