Abstract

The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has continued to increase in Asian countries in recent decades. Many studies have revealed that obesity in general or abdominal obesity causes a significant increase in the risk of GERD symptoms. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference with the incidence of GERD in the adult population of Palembang city. This study was observational research with a cross-sectional design. The population was all adults (≥20 years) of Palembang. The number of samples was 400 people. Data were taken from a self-completed questionnaire, distributed through social media, then analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Among 400 subjects in the study, there were 81 subjects (20.3%) diagnosed with GERD, 43 subjects (10.8%) were overweight, 79 subjects (19.8%) were obese, and 160 subjects(40%) had abdominal obesity. There was a significant relationship between obesity and diagnosis of GERD (p=0,001; OR =2,799; CI 95% = 1,545-5,069). In contrast, there was no significant relationship between being overweight and diagnosis of GERD. There was also no significant relationship between abdominal obesity and diagnosis of GERD. Obesity has a significant association with the diagnosis of GERD, but the absence of an association between overweight and diagnosis of GERD implies that increased BMI is not an independent risk factor in diagnosis of GERD.

Abstract

Introduction. Physiologically, there are setbacks and weaknesses in body functions in the elderly. This can cause inadequate food intake or eating imbalances in the elderly. Increased blood pressure is influenced by many factors such as sodium and potassium intake and less potassium intake can increase blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of sodium and potassium intake from food with blood pressure in the elderly in the community dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital. Methods. An observational-analytic study was conducted on 120 elderly people using a cross-sectional research design conducted in the elderly community of dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital in October-November 2019. The sample of this study were members of the elderly community aged over 60 years, present when the study was conducted, willing to become a respondent and signed an informed consent. Data was obtained through filling out food record questionnaires, food recall interviews, personal data interviews, and direct measurement of blood pressure and nutritional status. To meet the research objectives, data were analyzed by Chi-square test. Results. In this study, there were 120 elderly people consisting of 3 men and 117 women. There was a significant relationship between sodium and potassium intake and blood pressure (p=0,003 and p=0,0001). Conclusion. There is a significant relationship between sodium and potassium intake with blood pressure in the elderly.

Abstract

Introduction. The need for Vitamin D can be fulfilled through direct synthesis from Vitamin D stores in the skin with the help of ultraviolet B rays. Therefore, sufficient Vitamin D intake and sun exposure are needed. Most of the activities of medical students on campus are indoors from morning to evening, so it is suspected that there is a risk of Vitamin D deficiency. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk of Vitamin D deficiency based on the characteristics of Vitamin D from food intake and sun exposure in Faculty of Medicine students, Universitas Sriwijaya. Methods. This research was a descriptive study using a questionnaire and observation. Age, sex, BMI and use of related drugs were recorded. The food survey method used was the repeated food recall which was then analyzed using Nutrisurvey 2007. Subjects filled out a questionnaire to obtain data on exposure scores and sun protection scores. The research subjects were students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya who were willing to sign informed consent and were present at the time of sampling. Results. The results from the data of 259 subjects showed that 98.8% of the subjects did not meet their vitamin D intake needs, with an average consumption of 123 ± 142 IU. Types of food that contribute the most Vitamin D are catfish (40%) and eggs (20%). None of the subjects took supplements containing Vitamin D. Sun exposure was sufficient for most subjects (62.9%), but most subjects were at risk of deficiency due to the use of sun protection (62.2%) Conclusion. There is a risk of deficiency in most medical students due to a lack of Vitamin D intake and the use of sun protection.

Abstract

Introduction. Medical students of Sriwijaya University batch 2019 are new students who don’t have much knowledge about nutrition. In addition, new students also don’t know how to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) through body height and weight. This study aimed to know the level of nutritional knowledge and the suitability of weight perception among the medical students of Sriwijaya University batch 2019. Methods. Descriptive research with a cross-sectional research design was conducted in Health Clinic UPT of Sriwijaya University and the Faculty of Medicine of Sriwijaya University in September 2019. The sample of this study was all medical students from Sriwijaya University batch 2019 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was obtained through direct measurement and filling M-GNKQ questionnaire and weight perception questionnaire online. Results. In this study, 222 students met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with 74 male students and 148 female students. As many as 70.7% of students have normal nutritional status. The average value of nutrition knowledge is 18.21 (45.5%) with the lowest value 0 and the highest value 32. Of all of the students, only 52.3% can perceive body weight correctly. The rest, as much as 33.3% is exaggerating perception and 14.4% is reducing perception. Conclusion. The knowledge of nutrition among the medical students of Sriwijaya University batch 2019 is still quite low and there are still many students who mistakenly perceive their weight.
