Abstract

Purpose: The Citarum River, Indonesia, is one of the most polluted rivers in the world. Despite this, it is still used for community purposes. This preliminary study aims to determine the initial profile and magnitude of the problem in the health ecosystem along Citarum River, which focuses on stunting and the risk of autism associated with food consumption and environmental factors. Methods: Our random sample included children aged <5 years from their households in the Andir and Gajahmekar villages, from September 2018 to September 2019. We interviewed guardians on food consumption and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers - Revised (M-CHAT-R) questionnaire. The height measurement was interpreted with HAZ WHO-curve. The relationship between variables was analyzed through Chi-square. Results: This study showed that the proportion of stunting and risk of autism was 46.2% and 68%, respectively. Children who consume cow's milk and do not consume tomatoes are more at risk of developing autism. Moreover, subjects that consume chicken and fish from the Citarum riverbank have a higher risk of stunting and autism. Conclusions: Based on this preliminary study, the proportion of stunting and autism in children on the Citarum watershed is higher than the national average. The animal husbandry service authority must consider efforts to maximize this riverside habitat to provide livestock as a source of protein for communities around the river.

Abstract

Two non-communicable diseases that rank third in terms of mortality and are becoming more common in Indonesia are hypertension (HT) and diabetes mellitus (DM). The Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis), which aims to maintain the health of individuals with HT and DM, was introduced by the government and the National Health Care Security (BPJS) in response. Prolanis is intended for patients at Primary Health Care Facilities diagnosed with HT and DM. Nonetheless, participation in the Prolanis program remains relatively low. This program aims to increase the knowledge and involvement of HT and DM patients in Prolanis at the Annisa Dua Clinic in Citereup, Bogor City, by using Health Talk Education. The activity's outcomes demonstrated that participants' attitudes and understanding of the significance of participating in Prolanis had increased. Participants also felt more understanding and motivated to participate in activities and contribute to Prolanis. There was high participant satisfaction with this community service program. Participation in Prolanis can be increased through education about the importance of participating in community-based Prolanis related to the community. Of course, collaboration from various parties is needed to achieve Prolanis's goals.
