Abstract

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is a lipoprotein compound that has low-density. Smoking activity can increase LDL cholesterol levels. The nicotine compound in cigarettes can increase the oxidation of LDL cholesterol that will cause atherosclerosis. This research used descriptive study. The purposed of this study was to known about the level of LDL cholesterol in active smoker serum at areas Banjar Taman, Darmasaba Village, Abiansemal, Badung. Sampels in this research are males active smoker aged 18 years old and over which amount to 30 sampels. That sampling using accidental sampling. Examination of LDL cholesterol using Calculated method. The result of LDL concentration on this research based on the characteristics of the respondens such as: normal concentration of LDL on the group of 18-40 years (60%), with time period of smoked less than 5 years (53.4%) and the light smokers category (36 , 7%). Concentration of LDL exceeded the normal limits found on the group of 18-40 years (23.3%), smoked with 6 until 10 years period have 16.7% and category of light smokers (26.7 %). The conclusion of this research , were: 66.7% have normal levels and 33.3% with over normal limits. Active smokers were expected to reduce or stop smoked habits for the better health quality.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-communicable disease characterized by prolonged hyperglycemia, which can increase salivary glucose levels and reduce salivary flow, thereby promoting bacterial growth and increasing the risk of oral infections. Objective: To describe fasting blood glucose levels, salivary bacterial counts, and the Gram-staining characteristics of salivary bacteria among patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study involved 32 diabetes mellitus patients selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, fasting blood glucose measurement using POCT, salivary bacterial count using the TPC method, and Gram staining. Results: All participants (100%) had fasting blood glucose levels within the diabetic range (≥126 mg/dL), indicating persistent hyperglycemia. Likewise, all saliva samples showed high bacterial counts (>100,000 CFU/mL). Gram-positive bacteria were more predominant than Gram-negative bacteria, accounting for 55.2% and 44.8% of the bacterial isolates, respectively. Conclusions: Patients with diabetes mellitus exhibited persistent hyperglycemia, high salivary bacterial counts, and a predominance of Gram-positive bacteria. These findings provide baseline information on the salivary bacterial profile of patients with diabetes mellitus and emphasize the importance of maintaining glycemic control and oral hygiene as part of comprehensive diabetes care.
