Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is a global health problem that continues to be a challenge, especially in developing countries. One important aspect in the management of HIV/AIDS is the monitoring of viral load and CD4+ levels which serve as indicators of the patient's immune status. As the disease progresses, HIV/AIDS patients are at high risk of opportunistic infections that can worsen health conditions and shorten life expectancy. Objective: To determine the relationship between viral load and CD4+ levels in HIV/AIDS patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital. Method: Analytic observational research method with cross sectional approach, the research subjects were 10 subjects for viral load examination and 32 subjects for CD4+ examination. Results: The highest percentage of opportunistic infections was in oral candidiasis infection as many as 16 people (50%). The chi-square test showed a significant relationship between CD4+ levels and opportunistic infections in HIV/AIDS patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar with a p-value of 0.000 while for viral load could not be determined because secondary data were incomplete. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between CD4+ levels with opportunistic infections in patients with HIV/AIDS at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar.

Abstract

Skin aging is a natural process influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, with lifestyle-related exposures such as ultraviolet radiation, pollution, poor diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and inadequate sleep contributing to its acceleration. However, research examining the comprehensive impact of lifestyle on objectively measured skin aging parameters in rural Indonesian populations remains limited. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on a rural community in Eastern Indonesia, combining a validated lifestyle assessment with objective clinical skin analysis to generate context-specific evidence. This study aimed to determine the influence of lifestyle on skin aging among individuals aged 30–40 years in Lipulalongo Village, Banggai Laut Regency, Central Sulawesi. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 60 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Lifestyle was assessed using the Lifestyle Assessment Questionnaire 2025, while skin aging was measured using the Vision Skin Analyzer based on hydration, elasticity, wrinkles, and pigmentation parameters. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, with the Spearman rank correlation test applied due to the ordinal nature of lifestyle data. The results showed that most respondents had lifestyles requiring improvement (61.7%) or were at high risk (38.3%), with skin conditions predominantly classified as normal (28.3%) and slightly moist (21.7%). A significant moderate correlation was found between lifestyle and skin aging (P-value 0.001; r = 0.514). In conclusion, lifestyle significantly influences skin aging, highlighting the importance of targeted health education to promote healthier behaviors in similar rural populations
