Abstract

Indonesia is one developing country with vary of social and culture forms, especially in Eastern part. As the vulnerable group, women of reproductive age are still facing the malnutrition, including anemia. This study aimed to examine the determinants of severity of anemia and BMI (Body Mass Index) level among anemic women. Methods: This study used the secondary data IFLS East (Indonesia Family Life Survey East) with totally 1,021 anemic women as a sample based on sampling method of SUSENAS 2010. The sample has been chosen by multi-stage random sampling with completeness of hemoglobin, weight, and height data. The dependent variables are level of anemia and level of BMI. This study tested for the univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (ordinal logistic regression) by using STATA software. Results: The determinants of severity of anemia are BMI (AOR 1,32), place of resident (AOR 0,73), pregnancy status (AOR 0,22), and involvement in community activity (AOR 0,64). The determinant of BMI is anemia status (AOR 0.53), place of resident (AOR 0,46), educational level (AOR 0,46), pregnancy status (AOR 7,76), breastfeeding status (AOR 2,.54), ethnicity (AOR 2,42), being a Protestant (AOR 1,62), being a Chatolic (AOR 2,31), miscarriage history (AOR 5,05), and egg consumption (AOR 1,50). Conclusions: Pregnancy status is the strongest variables related to severity of anemia and pregnancy status, breastfeeding status, and ethnicity are the strongest variables related to BMI.

Abstract

BackgroundThe increasing population of older people can be a positive impact if they could be productive, or it could be negative as a burden if they depend on others. Elderly with physical disabilities can be influenced by various factors, including depression, which can be caused by functional changes in the body due to aging, loss of work, or even the loss of a loved one. This study aimed to determine the relationship between depression and physical disabilities among the elderly in Indonesia who were stratified by gender. MethodsA cross-sectional study using a national survey dataset namely Basic Health Survey and Socio-Economic Survey for 2018 involving 85,427 elderly. Depression and disability were assessed using Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and Barthel Index. Chi-Square test and multiple binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data. ResultsThe results revealed that 24.75% of elderly people experienced physical disabilities. The probability of males and females with depression having physical disabilities was respectively 2.95 (95% CI = 2.74-3.17) and 2.49 (95% CI = 2.36-2.64) times higher compared to those without depression. The interaction between depression and gender was statistically significant, in that females with depression had an 11% probability of having physical disability. ConclusionThis study reaffirmed that disability is a risk factor for depression in the elderly and female gender is the effect modifier rather than the risk factor. The male depression group showed more physical disability symptoms than the female depression group. There is collaboration from various sectors to prevent depression and physical disabilities.
