Abstract

Background: Dyspepsia is a common complaint of pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen. In Indonesia, the prevalence of dyspepsia is very high, reaching 40-50% of the population. This study aims to determine the effect of spicy food consumption on the incidence of dyspeptic complaints in students of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UINSU). Methods: This study's type of research is descriptive-analytic with a Cross-Sectional design. The respondents amounted to 89 people selected using the Accidental Sampling technique. The research instrument was a closed questionnaire distributed online using Google Forms. The data source is primary data. Data analysis includes univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. Results: From a total of 89 respondents, the majority of respondents' spicy food consumption level fell into the frequent category, namely 57 people (64.0%), and the majority of positive respondents experienced dyspepsia complaints, namely 52 people (58.4%). This study shows there is a significant relationship between spicy eating habits (p=0.000) with the incidence of dyspepsia in UINSU students. This study found that OR 6.306 means that students who often eat spicy food have a six times greater risk of experiencing dyspepsia than those who rarely consume it. Conclusion: This study conducted at UINSU revealed a strong association between spicy food consumption and increased incidence of dyspeptic complaints among university students, and those who frequently eat spicy food have a six times greater risk of developing dyspepsia than those who rarely consume it.

Abstract

This study, conducted through Field Learning Experience (PBL) in Aek Kota Batu Village, North Labuhanbatu Regency, identified Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as a primary and escalating health concern. The rising prevalence of DM is attributed to a confluence of factors, including insufficient public knowledge, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and detrimental environmental conditions. To address this multifaceted issue, a series of targeted interventions were implemented. These interventions encompassed educational outreach programs on DM for adolescents, comprehensive health screenings to facilitate early detection, and the cultivation of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). The educational initiatives aimed to enhance understanding of DM, its risk factors, and preventive measures among the younger population. Health screenings played a crucial role in identifying individuals at risk or in the early stages of DM, enabling timely intervention. Furthermore, the promotion and cultivation of TOGA provided a sustainable and natural approach to managing blood sugar levels, fostering self-reliance in health management within the community. The findings underscore the critical importance of collaborative efforts among various stakeholders to effectively mitigate the incidence of DM. This integrated approach, combining education, early detection, and community-based solutions, is essential for improving public health outcomes and reducing the burden of DM in the long term.
