Personal Hygiene is closely related to typhoid fever, because its transmission can be through food and drinks which are contaminated with Salmonella typhi. WHO and UNICEF ​​on 2015 ranked Indonesia as the second worst sanitation country in the world after India. One of the laboratory tests which is used to observe anemia levels and polycythaemia is hemoglobin degree. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between personal hygiene and hemoglobin levels on typhoid fever suspect patients at Lirboyo General Hospital. The research method used analytic survey with Cross Sectional Study approach and purposive sampling used as the sampling technique with 38 respondents. The results of the study mostly have worst personal hygiene quality of 31 people (81.6%) while respondents have good personal hygiene quality of 7 people (18.4%) and the of hemoglobin category on patients stated normal in 29 people (76.3%) while patients who have abnormal hemoglobin category in 9 people (23.7%). Based on statistical tests on personal hygiene by hemoglobin showed 0.876 p-value and > 0.05 sig value Conclusion which indicated no correlation between personal hygiene and hemoglobin on typhoid fever suspect at Lirboyo General Hospital.

Abstract

Cigarettes are processed tobacco using or without addictive substances. The increasing of hemoglobin in smokers due to the content of carbon monoxide causes hemolysis of erythrocytes that is stronger than oxygen, so that hemoglobin increases. In addition to smoking, the society's habit is about coffee consumption. Coffee is a beverage with high polyphenols. The decreasing of hemoglobin occurs when drinking too much coffee. It will reduce the absorption of iron and erythrocytes ability to deliver oxygen from the lungs to all tissues in the body, therefore the hemoglobin will decrease. One of the laboratory tests that is used to see hemoglobin levels in smokers and coffee consumers is the POCT method of hemoglobin examination. The purpose of this study was to analyze the comparison of the effect between smoking and coffee consumption on hemoglobin levels in adolescents on the streets of Mejenan Gang 3 Mojoroto Kediri. The method that is used in this research is comparative study and the sampling technique that is used purposive sampling with a sample size of 40 respondents. The results show that 10 adolescents (50%) had abnormal hemoglobin levels and 10 adolescents (50%) had normal hemoglobin levels. 5 teenagers (25%) had abnormal hemoglobin levels and 15 (75%) normal hemoglobin levels. Based on statistical tests, the results obtain p-value 0.423 and> 0.05. So it can be concluded that there is a moderate effect between cigarettes and coffee on hemoglobin levels in adolescents on Mejenan Street Gang 3 Mojoroto Kediri.

Abstract

Lead (Pb) is the main pollutant in the environment. Lead in fuel is an additive that is added to a gasoline mixture with the aim of increasing combustion so that vehicle performance increases. Lead is a type of heavy metal that can cause poisoning. Lead is easily absorbed in the body and can accumulate in human tissues. Lead can enter the human body through the respiratory system, orally, or through the skin surface. High lead levels in the blood can cause low platelets. This is because lead can interfere with the heme system in the blood, causing anemia. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between lead (Pb) levels and blood platelet counts at gas stations in Mekikis Village. The research design in this study used a cross sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 10 gas station attendants. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Based on the examination, the average lead and platelet levels for gas station workers were 0.4344 ppm and 293,500 /UL respectively. Based on the results of the Spearman correlation test, a significant value of 0.391 was obtained where the sign value was > 0.05, which means that there is no relationship between lead levels and the number of platelets in the blood of Mekikis Village gas station attendants.
