Abstract

Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges of the 21st century with far-reaching impacts on various sectors, including public health. This research aims to study how climate change affects the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments, with an emphasis on environmental and behavioural factors that influence the spread of disease. The quantitative method used in this study is descriptive-analytic design. Descriptive research is used to describe the phenomenon of the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments associated with climate change components such as air temperature, rainfall, and humidity. Over five years, the incidence rate of dengue fever in West Sumatra has fluctuated and continued to increase. As shown, the rainfall pattern is changing and increasing. The picture shows a trend of increasing rainfall along with an increase in the number of dengue cases. However, there is a time difference, or time lag, between the increase in cases. Every region should have an early warning system for extraordinary dengue events. As climatic factors change, environmental improvements are also needed along with changes in other factors such as behaviour and health services.

Abstract

High consumption of fast food among adolescents is a serious concern because it has the potential to increase the risk of obesity. Lifestyle changes, lack of physical activity, and easy access to fast food exacerbate this situation. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to ascertain how fast food eating habits relate to the prevalence of adolescent obesity. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional methodology and an analytical quantitative design.  75 teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18 who were chosen by purposive sampling at a single Padang City high school made up the sample.  Body mass index (BMI) measurements and questionnaires on dietary patterns were used to gather data. Results: The chi-square test analysis revealed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between the incidence of obesity and the frequency of fast food consumption.  Teenagers who eat fast food three times a week are more likely to become obese than those who don't. Implications: the implication of this study is the need for educational interventions on healthy eating among adolescents, as well as the involvement of schools and families in controlling access to fast food. Conclusion: In conclusion, fast food consumption habits and obesity are significantly correlated, so prevention from school age is an important step in reducing the risk of long-term obesity.
