Abstract

Background: The ROM value of a joint indicates the flexibility of that joint. An increase in BMI value is one of the factors that can cause ROM values to decrease and will affect muscle and joint strength. Several studies have linked increased BMI with decreased ROM where obese populations have limited ROM compared to non-obese populations. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis in the elderly in Wioi Village, Regency. Southeast Minahasa. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional approach. The instruments used in this study were digital scales and stature meters to measure BMI, and goniometers to measure ROM. The research sample was selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were tested using binary logistic regression analysis method. Results: Of the 51 respondents studied, binary logistic regression analysis showed an effect of BMI on Dorsiflexion (p = 0.023, β = -0.197) and Plantarflexion (p = 0.014, β = -0.254), but no effect of age on Dorsiflexion (p = 0.635, β = -0.022) and Plantarflexion (p = 0.173, β = -0.069). Conclusion: Body mass index (BMI) affects the range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis, but age does not affect the range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis in the elderly in Wioi Village, Regency. Southeast Minahasa.

Abstract

Work fatigue is an important problem in occupational health that can decrease productivity and increase the risk of work errors. One of the factors that plays a role is the hot work climate, especially in semi-enclosed workspaces with limited ventilation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between hot work climate and work fatigue in parking ticket officers in the Manado Megamas Area. The study used an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach on 63 respondents. Hot work climate was measured using a heat stress monitor (WBGT), while work fatigue was measured using the KAUPK2 questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that most respondents experienced moderate fatigue (57.1%) and the highest exposure to the hot work climate was found in the morning shift (29.8°C). There was a significant association between hot work climate and work fatigue (p = 0.001; r = 0.401), with moderate correlation strength. The study shows that even though heat exposure is still below the threshold value, working environment conditions still contribute to worker fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to control the working environment through ventilation improvements, the provision of local cooling, and adaptive work-break arrangements.
