Abstract

Adolscent girls phase (12-21 years) is a very important individual development segment, beginning with the maturation of physical and reproductive organs that characterize women of childbearing age. Body mass index (BMI) is one of indicator used to see women of childbearing age status related to pregnancy. Kidney damage causes an increase in urinary creatinine but high urinary creatinine does not necessarily indicate kidney damage. Our objective is to determine the relationship between BMI and urine creatinine  in adolscent girls in several Medan health schools. We performed an observasional study with cross sectional design of 56 participants   19-21 old girls. 24 hours urine creatinine concentration was measured using jaffe reaction method. The highest average BMI value (21.10 kg/m2 is the normal category (75%), mean urine creatinine concentration (1263,86 mg/24 hour) is also normal category. Data analysis with spearman correlation between BMI and 24-hour urine creatinine level was not statistically different (p = 0.140). High BMI values tend to have high 24-hour urine creatinine levels too, but statistically there was no significant relationship between 24-hour urine creatinine levels and BMI values in this study.

Abstract

Malaria is a severe, life-threatening infectious disease transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. In Asahan Regency, four areas are endemic for malaria, with Silau Laut District having an API rate of 4.8‰ (Annual Parasite Incidence per 1000 at-risk individuals annually). Indoor residual spraying (IRS) with Lambda Cyhalothrin (Icon 100 CS) is used to eradicate mosquito vectors by applying insecticide to walls and ceilings, interrupting transmission. Research aimed to assess IRS effectiveness in reducing malaria incidence in Silau Laut District found a strong positive correlation (0.826 and 0.912) between RDT and microscopic examination results before and after IRS. However, correlations between education and malaria control using IRS and changes in knowledge and attitudes were weak (0.490 and 0.438). Paired T-tests revealed differences in RDT examination results (p = 0.044) and knowledge and attitude levels (p = 0.000) before and after IRS education. No significant difference was observed in microscopic examination results (p = 0.159). Recommendations include intensified efforts in malaria prevention and control, including active case finding, mosquito nest elimination, continued IRS, mesh installation, insecticide-treated bed net use, health education, and regular bioassay testing every 1-2 months for 3-6 months in Silau Laut District.
