Abstract

Degenerative conditions related to cholesterol, blood sugar, and uric acid tend to increase with age and lifestyle changes, particularly among office workers in the productive age group. This study investigates the association between age and levels of cholesterol, blood sugar, and uric acid among employees of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic. A descriptive analytical design was employed using medical check-up data from 203 respondents. Data normality was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and correlations were analyzed using Pearson's method. The findings revealed significant correlations between age and total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, blood sugar, and uric acid levels, although most correlations were weak in strength. These results suggest that age contributes to elevated biochemical markers associated with degenerative diseases, highlighting the importance of routine health monitoring among office workers as a strategy for early prevention. Keywords: Cholesterol, blood sugar, uric acid, degenerative diseases, office workers

Abstract

Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Scabies causes intense itching, especially at night, rashes, and scratches that can lead to secondary bacterial infections. Sleep disturbances due to itching can reduce quality of life and trigger stress, anxiety, and decreased concentration. People with scabies often experience negative stigma because the disease is related to poor hygiene, even though it can be transmitted through close contact in crowded environments such as homes, schools, or orphanages. The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk factors for scabies at Hidayatul Falah Islamic Boarding School in Rejang Lebong Regency. This study used a cross-sectional design. The sample size was 66 respondents using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to 66 students at Hidayatul Falah Islamic Boarding School in Rejang Lebong Regency and processed using SPSS. The results of the univariate analysis showed that most respondents (60.6%) had poor personal hygiene, most respondents (65.2%) had sufficient knowledge, most respondents (62.1%) lived in densely populated areas, and most respondents (54.5%) had experienced scabies. The bivariate analysis results showed that there was a correlation between personal hygiene and the incidence of scabies (p value = 0.004), a correlation between knowledge and the incidence of scabies (p value = 0.002), and a correlation between housing density and the incidence of scabies (p value = 0.035) at Hidayatul Falah Islamic Boarding School in Rejang Lebong Regency. It is hoped that Islamic Boarding Schools, with the assistance of local health centers, can optimize preventive and promotional programs about factors related to scabies.
