Abstract

Weight gain among students during the COVID-19 pandemic was largely attributed to lifestyle changes, including diet, sleep patterns, decreased physical activity, and increased gadget use. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing weight gain in students at SMKN 10 Medan. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all students at SMKN 10 Medan, totaling 1,108 individuals. A sample of 294 students was selected using a random sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test and logistic regression. The results indicated that all variables were significantly related to student weight gain during the COVID-19 pandemic, with p-values for physical activity (p=0.036), breakfast habits (p=0.042), snacking habits (p=0.001), sleep patterns (p=0.001), and gadget use (p=0.001). The most influential factors contributing to student weight gain were identified as snacking habits and sleep patterns, which exhibited the lowest significance values. It can be concluded that snacking habits and sleep patterns are the predominant factors associated with weight gain among students at SMKN 10 Medan during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading global cause of mortality, with a high prevalence among the elderly. Dietary patterns constitute a modifiable risk factor. This study aimed to analyse the association between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at the Medan Johor Community Health Centre. A sample of 90 elderly individuals was selected via purposive sampling. Dietary data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Data analysis employed the Chi-Square test. A total of 72.2% of respondents had hypertension, and 65.6% had poor dietary patterns. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant association between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension (p-value = 0.022; OR = 0.268). Elderly individuals with poor dietary patterns had a 0.268 times higher risk of hypertension compared to those with good dietary patterns. A significant association exists between poor dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly at the Medan Johor Community Health Centre. Promotive and preventive efforts through balanced nutrition education are essential.
