Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) poses a significant public health in Indonesia. Despite government efforts to control disease vectors, the rising population density and mobility in Tangerang Regency have contributed to the rapid spread of DHF. This highlights the urgent need to eradicate mosquito nests for outbreak management and prevention. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with mosquito nest eradication in the Tangerang Regency. A cross-sectional design was used, with 400 participants selected through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. The results of the multivariate analysis revealed age (p-value = 0.012), knowledge (p-value = 0.001), and support from healthcare workers (p-value = 0.003) as variables linked to mosquito nests eradication. Knowledge was the most dominant variable (OR = 5.857); individuals with low knowledge levels were 5.8 times less likely to engage in mosquito nest eradication compared to those with high knowledge after being controlled for age and support from health workers. These findings underscore the urgency of addressing these risk factors. Nurses can play a key role by providing health education to the community, emphasizing the importance of regularly draining and cleaning water containers, covering water storage, and reusing or recycling waste to reduce mosquito breeding sites.

Abstract

Obesity is a developing global public health issue. Obesity is a significant risk factor for a variety of diseases, increasing morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease and Diabetes Mellitus. Since 1975, global obesity has nearly tripled, and Jakarta has the second-highest obesity rate in Indonesia. COVID-19 also contributed to this situation, as many young adults work from home. COVID-19 has an impact, such as an increase in the frequency of unhealthy eating and frequency of sitting, a decrease in physical activity, or irregular exercise, which can lead to obesity. This study aims to investigate the lifestyle risk factors associated with obesity in young adults in Jakarta. A cross-sectional design was conducted with convenience sampling of 384 respondents aged 26-35. Data was collected using an online questionnaire. Descriptive and statistical analysis was performed using chi-square. The finding revealed a significant relationship between physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, and genetics with obesity in young adults (p-value 0.004; 0.035; 0.001). Conclusion: Young adults can adopt a healthy lifestyle by increasing regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes daily and changing their sedentary lifestyle.
