Abstract

The still high number of tuberculosis cases in Medan City is proof that the value of health is still low. This is proven by the high number of tuberculosis cases at the Sentosa Baru Community Health Center. Therefore, it is necessary to know the existence of risk factors for tuberculosis and the reasons for them in sufferers in the Sentosa Baru Community Health Center working area. This type of research is descriptive observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 64 respondents who were tuberculosis sufferers in the work area of the Sentosa Baru Health Center. The research results show that the majority are of productive age with a high school education level and good (50%) or less (50%) knowledge. Smoking habits were primarily found in the moderate category (31.3%), and the habit of wearing masks was minimal (65.5%). Most had the habit of opening windows (67.2%) but had never removed phlegm in a particular container (40.6%). Observation results showed that the majority already had floors (87.5%) and walls (78.1%) that met the requirements, but only (15.6%) had glass tiles in their homes. Based on the results of cross-tab research, a comparison was made between the level of knowledge, age, level of education, and risk factors. It was concluded that age, level of education, level of knowledge, type of floor, type of wall, availability of glass tiles, smoking habits, habits of wearing masks, habits of opening windows, and habits of expelling phlegm were the reasons that influenced this.

Abstract

The profession of dentistry is a job that is at risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Dentists often work in static and non-ergonomic positions for long periods of time, perform repetitive movements, and interact with patients in limited workspaces. A comprehensive understanding of the prevalence, location of complaints, and the most dominant risk factors is needed to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies to reduce musculoskeletal disorders. Objective to identify musculoskeletal disorders in dentists along with prevalence, pain areas and risk factors. The author used the PRISMA checklist to guide the selection of articles. The databases used were Science Direct and Scopus to search for academic articles published between 2020 and 2025 that met the predetermined content criteria with the keywords Musculoskeletal Disorders, Dentist, Dental, Prevalence, Work Related and Risk Factors. Initial findings based on keywords obtained 494 articles, then screening was carried out until 10 relevant articles to review. The prevalence of MSDs complaints reported in each article was between 58.3% - 93%. The highest pain areas in dentists were in the neck, lower back and shoulders. One of the most dominant risk factors is work posture. Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are occupational health problems that are often experienced by dentists. Risk factors for MSDs are divided into individual characteristics, jobs, habits, and work environments. Interventions are needed to prevent MSDs in dentists such as ergonomic interventions and education since professional education.

Abstract

Dental caries is a chronic infectious disease with a high prevalence in elementary school-aged children (6–12 years) globally. This condition is influenced by the complex interaction of various determinants of health. This study aims to identify and synthesize the dominant risk factors for the occurrence of dental caries in elementary school-age children based on the latest scientific evidence. Systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on the Scopus and PubMed databases for English-language articles published in the time range November 2022 to November 2025. Inclusion criteria include cross-sectional, cohort, case-control studies that analyze caries risk factors in elementary school-aged children of 6–12 years. Of the 1,422 articles identified from three databases, 11 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the final analysis. The main risk factors are categorized into behavioral and lifestyle aspects, socio-demographic, and socioeconomic. The findings suggest that high-sugar diet behaviors (sugary snacks and soft drinks) and poor oral hygiene (rarely brushing and not using dental floss) were the dominant factors. Socio-demographically, low parental education levels, low socioeconomic status, and male gender have a significant association with an increased risk of caries. In addition, the presence of dental plaque and tooth morphology (deep gaps) are important biological determinants. Dental caries in elementary school children is multifactorial, but lifestyle factors related to diet and oral hygiene, as well as family socioeconomic background are the main determinants. Effective prevention strategies require a holistic approach that focuses on modifying children's behavior and improving parental education.
