Abstract

Gastritis in adolescents is increasingly common due to lifestyle changes, stress, and poor eating habits. This disorder can interfere with quality of life and academic achievement. This study aims to analyze the relationship between physical activity, stress levels, and eating habits with the incidence of gastritis in adolescents. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 86 adolescents who sought treatment at the South Sumatra Police Headquarters Outpatient Polyclinic in June 2024. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and medical records. The majority of respondents experienced gastritis (57.0%), with a higher proportion in adolescents who had moderate physical activity (p = 0.029), moderate stress levels (p = 0.001), and poor eating habits (p = 0.004). There is a significant association between physical activity, stress, and eating habits with the incidence of gastritis in adolescents. Holistic intervention is needed through nutrition education, stress management, and promotion of healthy lifestyle in school and family environment.

Abstract

Uric acid is a common metabolic disorder among the elderly, often associated with dietary patterns, especially high-purine protein intake. Improper dietary management can worsen uric acid levels and increase the risk of chronic complications. This study aimed to determine the relationship between protein diet and uric acid levels in the elderly at the Outpatient Polyclinic of Mapolda South Sumatra. This research used a quantitative cross-sectional design with purposive sampling involving 54 elderly participants aged ≥60 years diagnosed with uric acid levels. The independent variable was protein diet measured by a questionnaire, and the dependent variable was uric acid level measured using the Glucose Uri Acid (GCU) Easy Touch device. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Most respondents with poor protein diets (95.7%) had high uric acid levels. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between protein diet and uric acid levels (p = 0.001). There is a significant relationship between protein diet and uric acid levels. Elderly individuals with good protein diets tend to have normal uric acid levels. Community-based purine-restricted dietary education and intervention should be strengthened to prevent hyperuricemia among the elderly.
