Abstract

Background: The industrial sector is a vulnerable place for diseases, especially lung diseases such as asbestosis. Continuous exposure of workers to asbestos has caused the incidence rate to increase over time.Objective: This review aimed to explore the factors influencing the increased incidence of asbestosis in workers in the industrial sectoreMethods: The investigation involved analyzing the results of 17 relevant previous studies using qualitative analysis procedures, variables, themes and factors were extracted from the studies.Results: The analysis revealed eight main categories: age, gender, occupation, industry type, length of exposure, education, income and smoking history. Age, gender and length of exposure were found to be the most important risk factors for asbestosis in workers at an average age of 54 years in men who had been exposed for 21 years.Conclusion: In conclusion, with the increasing incidence of asbestosis from past exposure, this study is needed as an evaluation and consideration in reducing asbestosis in workers.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan indikator kekurangan gizi kronis akibat ketidakcukupan asupan makanan dalam waktu yang lama, kualitas pangan yang buruk, sehingga mengalami tinggi badan yang tidak sesuai (kerdil) dengan umurnya.1 Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjabarkan keterkaitan antara pola makan dan kejadian stunting pada anak balita berusia 12-59 bulan. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan analitik cross sectional. Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji Chi-Square, dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,05 dan interval kepercayaan 95%. Berdasarkan uji statistik, diperoleh hasil analisis variabel jenis makanan (p-value=0.047) dan variabel frekuensi makanan (p-value=0.021) memiliki hubungan dengan kejadian stunting pada anak usia 12-59 bulan dan variabel jumlah makanan (p-value=0.454) menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan dengan kejadian stunting pada anak usia 12-59 di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Marihat Bandar. Disimpulkan bahwa jumlah makanan tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting pada balita usia 12-59 bulan, sedangkan jenis makanan dan frekuensi makanan memiliki pengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting pada balita usia 12-59 bulan.

Abstract

This study aimed to characterize stunting among children under five years of age in Medan Belawan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, a sub-district with a high prevalence of this public health challenge. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, data were retrospectively collected from records of 40 stunted toddlers at the Belawan Community Health Center in 2024. The analysis examined maternal and parental characteristics, as well as the demographic and anthropometric profiles of the toddlers, including gender, age, weight, height, and nutritional status. The results indicated that the demographic profile was predominantly composed of mothers with lower educational attainment, most having completed only junior or senior high school. Parental occupations were mainly homemakers and fishermen, reflecting the local socioeconomic context. Stunting was more common among male toddlers (57.5%) and those in the older age group (2.6–5 years), who accounted for 70% of the sample. Anthropometric measurements confirmed the severity of stunting, with 55% of toddlers classified as severely stunted and a significant proportion identified as underweight or severely underweight. Despite the high prevalence of stunting, the majority of toddlers were classified as well-nourished based on weight-for-height indices, suggesting that chronic growth failure rather than acute malnutrition constitutes the primary nutritional concern. These findings underscore the multifactorial and complex nature of stunting in this vulnerable population, emphasizing the roles of socioeconomic and environmental determinants beyond mere caloric deficiency.

Abstract

Agriculture forms a vital component of Indonesia’s economy, yet pesticide use poses significant occupational health hazards, particularly skin disorders from exposure. This study aimed to analyze the association between farmer characteristics, behavior, and pesticide spraying patterns with the incidence of skin disorders among citrus farmers in Aji Mbelang Village, Karo Regency. A quantitative analytical cross-sectional study was conducted involving 30 citrus farmers selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing demographic variables, behavioral factors, and pesticide spraying patterns. Univariate and bivariate analyses, including chi-square tests, were performed to explore associations between independent variables and skin disorder incidence, with significance set at p<0.05. The majority of respondents were male (86.7%), aged over 36 years (43.3%), and had completed senior high school (46.7%). The prevalence of skin disorders was high (90.0%). Most farmers demonstrated poor knowledge about pesticide risks (60.0%) but exhibited positive attitudes (86.7%) and safety practices (76.7%). Contradictorily, 96.7% engaged in high-risk spraying behaviors. Age was the only statistically significant variable associated with skin disorders (p=0.044), with all farmers over 32 years reporting skin disorders. Skin disorders are highly prevalent among citrus farmers and significantly associated with older age. The findings reveal a gap between positive safety attitudes and hazardous field practices, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions to enhance knowledge and promote safer pesticide application to mitigate dermal health risks.

Abstract

Background: Climate change significantly impacts the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases. Dengue, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, is highly sensitive to climatic shifts, and global cases are surging. A clear understanding of how rising temperatures affect vector bionomics is essential for public health. This scoping review aims to synthesize recent evidence (2018–2025) on the relationship between climate change, particularly temperature, and the Aedes life cycle and dengue transmission.   Methods: We conducted a scoping review using the Xiao and Watson (2019) framework. Systematic searches were performed in Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar for experimental, modeling, and field studies published between 2018 and 2025. Following screening based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 studies were included. Data were extracted and synthesized qualitatively to identify key themes.   Results: The findings reveal a complex, non-linear thermal relationship. Vector fitness (e.g., survival, fertility) peaks at 25°C–30°C but declines under "heat stress" (>32°C) despite faster development times. Critically, the thermal optimum for disease transmission (R₀) is higher, peaking at 29°C–31°C, driven by a heat-accelerated Extrinsic Incubation Period (EIP) of the virus. This discrepancy fuels a "dual threat": intensification of epidemics in endemic regions and expansion of vector habitats into temperate zones. This aligns with epidemiological data showing the global dengue burden approximately doubled between 1990 and 2021.   Conclusions: Climate change is an unequivocal amplifier of the global dengue threat, fundamentally altering Aedes bionomics and transmission potential. This reality necessitates a paradigm shift from reactive to predictive public health, mandating expanded surveillance in newly vulnerable regions. Major research gaps persist regarding the synergistic effects of rainfall, humidity, and diurnal temperature fluctuations (DTR).

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus continues to increase in prevalence in Indonesia and worldwide. It is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion or insulin resistance. The most common type is Type II diabetes mellitus, which is often associated with lifestyle and dietary patterns. The World Health Organization estimates that the number of patients with diabetes mellitus in Indonesia will reach 21.3 million people. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes among patients with Type II diabetes mellitus at Medan Johor Community Health Center. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 2,210 patients with Type II diabetes mellitus, with a sample of 100 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using bivariate and multivariate tests to determine the relationship and influence between variables. The results showed that knowledge (p = 0.003) and attitudes (p = 0.004) had a significant relationship with a healthy lifestyle among patients with Type II diabetes mellitus.
