Abstract

Obesity is a global public health issue and the prevalence of obesity is growing worldwide every year. Studies have been performed since the early 1970s on the association between obesity and depression or other psychological disorders. In Indonesia, however, only a small number of studies have been carried out. The aim of this study was to examine whether obesity was associated with depression in a sample of women with overweight and obesity based on their BMI, anti-obesity treatment experience, and age among women in one province in Indonesia. Women aged 18 years and older who were selected from fitness centers in urban area of Yogyakarta province and self-reported BMI categorized as overweight and obese were eligible to participate. Voluntary participation in study survey was consented. A set of questionnaire consisting demographic characteristics and depression symptoms was developed and validated. Depression was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), with a score of ≥10 used to indicate severe depression. Respondents who classified as overweight mostly had minimal depression level (33.58%) and none had severe depression level, whereas respondents who classified as obese mostly had moderate depression level (44.74%) and 3.95% had severe depression level. This study found that BMI, experience of using anti-obesity drugs, and age of respondents were significantly affected PHQ-9 score. Thus, these factors determined the level of depression among women surveyed. The study reported significant association between obesity and depression among women. This association depends on BMI, anti-obesity treatment experience, and age variables. Approaches to public health to reduce the burden of obesity or depression have to consider the strong link between these two common conditions.

Abstract

Background: Low public knowledge and understanding, contributing to late diagnosis, has identified cancer morbidity and mortality from breast cancer. This study was designed to describe breast cancer knowledge and awareness and evaluate breast screening practice among Yogyakarta women. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 350 low socioeconomic women in rural and urban Yogyakarta areas was conducted using a validated self-designed structured questionnaire. Analyzing data using descriptive statistics. Results: A vast majority of respondents knew that breast cancer is a severe disease (85.14%) and can be detected as early as possible (60.00%). Genetic and family cancer history was the best accepted risk factor for breast cancer (61.43%), followed by oral contraception (44.57%), radiation (31.43%), smoking (28.86%) and alcohol intake (21.71%). Over half of respondents (65.14%) correctly identified niple and color discharge as one of the symptoms of breast cancer, followed by breast lump (60.00%), breast swelling (56.29%) and breast fluid (44.57%). While 56.57 percent of respondents had heard of breast self-examination ( BSE) and mammography, only 26.86 percent of respondents had regularly performed BSE, and only 28.00 percent of respondents reported daily mammography. A large proportion of respondents (72.86%) never diagnosed breast cancer. Conclusion: In Yogyakarta, the study reported inadequate breast cancer awareness and poor breast screening practice among women with low socioeconomic status aged 20-50 years. Health care professionals are fairly required to educate women about breast cancer and promote early detection and breast cancer screening programs to prevent and reduce breast cancer incidence and mortality.
