Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus adalah gangguan metabolik yang ditandai dengan hiperglikemia kronis akibat gangguan regulasi glukosa. Di Indonesia, prevalensi diabetes pada orang dewasa mencapai 10,8%. Penyakit tiroid, yang disebabkan oleh kelainan fungsi kelenjar tiroid, juga menjadi masalah kesehatan yang mempengaruhi metabolisme tubuh. Pemeriksaan HbA1c dan TSH memiliki peran penting dalam deteksi dini dan pengelolaan kondisi ini. HbA1c mencerminkan kontrol glukosa darah selama 2-3 bulan terakhir, sedangkan TSH digunakan untuk mendeteksi gangguan fungsi tiroid. Program bakti sosial yang diadakan di Gereja Katolik Santo Petrus & Paulus, Jakarta Barat, diikuti oleh 43 peserta. Hasilnya menunjukkan 6 orang (13,95%) memiliki kadar HbA1c ≥6,5%, di mana 4 orang baru terdiagnosa diabetes. Selain itu, 8 orang (18,60%) memiliki kadar TSH <0,45 mU/L, yang mengindikasikan kemungkinan hipertiroidisme. Program ini dapat meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya deteksi dini dan pengelolaan penyakit. Kegiatan serupa sebaiknya dilakukan secara rutin dengan tambahan edukasi kesehatan mengenai pencegahan penyakit tidak menular dan pola hidup sehat untuk dampak yang lebih luas

Abstract

Background: The number of women who delay pregnancy is increasing. Advanced Maternal Age/ AMA (pregnancies in women aged 35 years or older) have increased risks of complications, such as low birth weight/LBW (up to 1.59 times). The aim of this study is to know the association between AMA with LBW in primigravid births.Subjects and Method: This descriptive and analytical, cross sectional research consists of 169 primigravid births in Atma Jaya Hospital Jakarta, collected with a total sampling method for births between February 2016 to September 2021 meeting inclusion criteria. Independent variable included primigravid maternal age and dependent variable included birth weight. Prematurity was used as a dependent variable and an independent variable in two separate analyses. Characteristics of data are described, and analyses were done with the Fisher’s exact test for the associations between primigravid AMA and LBW, , between primigravid AMA and prematurity, and between primigravid prematurity and LBW Spearman’s correlation test was done for the correlation between primigravid maternal age and birth weight. Results: The proportions of women with higher education and maternal diseases are more elevated in AMA. LBW prevalence is 14.79%. The proportion of LBW is higher in AMA (OR=2.045; CI 95% 0.513 to 8.147), with statistically insignificant association (p=0.253). The correlation between maternal age and birth weight is insignificant (p=0.113). AMA has insignificantly higher odds for prematurity (OR=1.139; CI 95% 0.234 to 5.538; p=0.567). The association between prematurity and LBW is highly significant (OR 49.224; CI 95% 15.470 to 156.621; p<0.001).).Conclusion: Primigravid women aged ≥35 years have higher proportions of maternal diseases. Despite being statistically insignificant, AMA has higher odds for LBW. Prematurity is highly asso¬ciated with LBW. Further research concerning high-risk maternal age needs to be done to improve women’s and children’s health. Keywords: advanced maternal age, primigravida, low birth weight.

Abstract

Introduction: Menopause causes somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms as risk factors for insomnia. This study aims to determine the relationship between menopause symptoms and insomnia in the pre-elderly. Methods: Descriptive analytical study using a cross-sectional method. The variables in this study were menopause symptoms and the severity of insomnia as measured by the MRS and ISI questionnaire. The sample consisted of 107 pre-elderly menopausal women at a church in South Tangerang, using the convenience sampling method. Data analysis included univariate analysis (descriptive statistics) to examine sample characteristics and bivariate analysis with the Kruskal-Wallis test to examine the relationship between menopausal symptoms and the severity of insomnia. Results: A significant relationship between menopause symptoms and the severity of insomnia (p < 0.05). Based on each insomnia severity, the highest mean rank of respondents who experienced moderate clinical insomnia had somatic symptoms (90.44), the highest mean rank of respondents who experienced subthreshold insomnia had psychological symptoms (75.59), and the highest mean rank of respondents who did not experience insomnia had urogenital symptoms (42.91). Conclusion: Menopause symptoms are significantly related to the severity of insomnia in pre-elderly individuals.

Abstract

Introduction: Adequate nutrition, including collagen supplements and the use of moisturizers, can improve skin hydration. This study aims to determine the effects of collagen supplements and several factors such as history of keratosis and atopic dermatitis, sun exposure, bathing habits, and water intake on skin moisture. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study with consecutive sampling involving 29 female students aged 19–21 years who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The participants were given collagen supplements for 12 weeks, and skin moisture was measured at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 using the skin analyzer SK-8 on the upper left arm. Results: This study showed that the average skin moisture level was 32.02% before supplementation and 68.37% after supplementation, indicating a significant difference (p < 0.001). Factors such as history of keratosis and atopic dermatitis, sun exposure, bathing habits, and water intake were not related to skin moisture. Conclusion: These findings suggest that collagen supplementation may contribute to improved skin hydration under the studied conditions.
