Abstract

Osteoarthritis is more common in menopausal women due to decreased estrogen levels, which impacts joint health. Due to the high prevalence of OA in menopausal women with a high BMI, this study was conducted to determine the correlation between BMI and the incidence of OA in this group. The purpose of this study is to identify the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the incidence of osteoarthritis in menopausal women at Sinjai District Hospital during July-September 2024 period. This study applied an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 50 menopausal women selected through consecutive sampling techniques. Data were collected through interviews, direct BMI measurements, and medical record reviews. Analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. Based on the univariate analysis involving 50 respondents, it showed that most OA patients had an obese BMI (46%), while the normal category was only found in 26% of patients. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between BMI and OA (p-value = 0.007, p < 0.05). These results indicate that post-menopausal women with a BMI > 25 (obese category) have a higher risk of developing OA compared to those with a normal BMI. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant relationship between BMI and OA in postmenopausal women, in which obesity is an important risk factor. This study recommends public education about the importance of maintaining ideal body weight as an effort to prevent OA in postmenopausal women, as well as the need for further research to explore the role of estrogen hormone levels in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.

Abstract

The skin is the largest organ and plays an important role as a protector of the body. In geriatric populations, physiological changes in the skin due to aging increase susceptibility to various skin diseases. Local data on the characteristics of geriatric patients with skin diseases are still limited, especially in Makassar. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics of geriatric patients with skin diseases at Ibnu Sina Makassar Hospital. The research design was a cross-sectional descriptive study with a total sampling of 54 geriatric patients (≥60 years) who were treated at the Skin and Venerean Outpatient Polyclinic of RSP Ibnu Sina Makassar for the 2022–2024 period. Data was obtained through medical records, then analyzed descriptively using SPSS and Excel.   Most patients were aged 60–74 years (74.1%), male (51.9%), and civil servant/retired (57.4%). As many as 74.1% of patients did not have comorbidities; Diabetes mellitus was the most comorbid (13%). Non-infectious skin diseases dominated (50%), followed by fungal infections (25.9%), bacterial (16.7%), and viral (7.4%). The most common diagnoses were senilic pruritus (20.4%), followed by tinea corporis (13%), as well as seborrheic dermatitis, lichen simplex, and shingles at 7.4% each. Geriatric patients with skin diseases at the Ibnu Sina Makassar Hospital Outpatient Polyclinic for the 2022–2024 period are dominated by 60–74 years old, male, and most of the jobs are civil servants/retirees. Non-infectious skin diseases, especially pruritus senilis, are the most common diagnoses. Education about elderly skin care and preventive approaches are needed to improve the quality of life of geriatric patients.
