Abstract

Youth and adolescent delinquency is increasingly rampant to the point that it has become something to worry about nowadays. Church youth and teenagers as the next generation need to be given spiritual formation to anticipate youth and adolescent delinquency. It is within this framework that STT HKBP provides guidance to youth and teenagers as well as at HKBP Paranginan. This training aims to provide knowledge to youth and teenagers regarding their identity as Warriors of Christ who are ready to suffer. This coaching method involves active participation from youth and teenagers at HKBP Paranginan. This formation received an immediate positive response because it included a new understanding of the meaning of the Soldiers of Christ who are ready to suffer.

Abstract

Cognitive impairment in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is related to the lack of blood supply to the brain. Previous studies showed that the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a predictor of vascular abnormalities, but studies investigating its association with cognitive functions in T2DM patients younger than 60 years remain limited. This study aimed to determine the correlation between AIP and various domains of cognitive function in T2DM patients. This study was a cross-sectional study involving 75 T2DM patients selected using a consecutive sampling technique at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan from July 2021 to January 2022. Cognitive function was examined using the Visual Cognitive Assessment Test Indonesian Version (VCAT-INA) on several cognition domains. The AIP value of each patient was measured and categorized into high (AIP>0.21), intermediate (AIP between >0.11 and ≤0.21), or low (≤0.11). The mean triglyceride level was 176±108.3mg/dl, the HDL-C level was 38.3±12.1mg/dl, and the mean AIP value was 0.191±0.25. The mean score of the VCAT-INA was 21.7±2.3, which was lower than normal. The AIP value showed significant negative correlation with global cognition (r=0.432, p<0.001) and various cognitive domains, namely memory (r=-0.375, p=0.001), attention (r=-0.383, p=0.001), executive function (r=-0.051, p=0.663), visuospatial (r=-0.306, p=0.008), and language (r=-0.352, p=0.002). In short, there is a significant correlation between AIP value and domains of cognitive function, such as memory, attention, visuospatial, and language domains, but not with executive domains.
