Abstract

Household food insecurity (HFI) is a significant issue that affects both developed and developing countries, leading to various health and nutritional problems. Particularly concerning is the impact of food insecurity on young children, who are highly vulnerable to malnutrition and stunting. Sukolilo is a flood-prone area, and flooding can cause changes in household food security and impact the nutritional status of children. This study to determine the association between household food security and the nutritional status of toddlers in Sukolilo. This study used a cross-sectional method by collecting data on household characteristics (parents' age, education, number of children, parents' employment status, and total income), measuring household food security through the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) questionnaire, and measuring anthropometry (W/A) in toddlers to analyze nutritional status. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between mother education level (P = 0.03), number of children (P = 0.000), and mother employment status (P = 0.000) with household food security (p < 0.05). As well as there is an association between household food security and children's nutritional status (P<0.05) (AOR (95% CI) 0.86 (0.77 – 1.73)). It can be concluded that household food security has a strong relationship with the nutritional status of toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a chronic condition that often presents without clear symptoms, but may cause complaints such as headaches. Many individuals with hypertension manage these symptoms independently using over-the-counter medications like paracetamol, without addressing the underlying cause. This case report aims to describe the clinical course of uncontrolled hypertension, recurrent headaches, and habitual paracetamol use. Case Illustration: A 49-year-old woman with a history of hypertension experienced recurrent headache and self-medicated with paracetamol without a prescription. The patient demonstrated poor adherence to antihypertensive therapy and maintained an unhealthy lifestyle, including frequent sleep deprivation, work-related stress, regular consumption of coffee, tea, and fried foods. Clinical evaluation revealed elevated blood pressure of 140/100 mmHg. Discussion: Non-adherence to antihypertensive treatment and unhealthy lifestyle choices were major contributing factors that exacerbated the patient’s condition. The use of paracetamol as a symptomatic treatment masked the underlying problem and poses long-term risks to organ function. Persistent headache may serve as a clinical indicator of uncontrolled blood pressure due to irregular therapy. Conclusion: Patients with hypertension require comprehensive management, including lifestyle modification, consistent adherence to medication, and education on the risks of self-medication. The use of symptomatic drugs such as paracetamol without medical supervision may worsen the condition if not accompanied by adequate blood pressure control.
