Abstract

Vital Capacity (VC) serves as one of the main parameters in assessing lung function. Obesity, which can be measured using Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference, has the potential to affect respiratory mechanics and decrease lung function. Medical students with limited physical activity are at risk of experiencing reduced VC due to increased BMI and central obesity. This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI and waist circumference with VC among 2023 cohort students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Kristen Indonesia. This research is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 57 students participated as samples. Data were collected through measurements of BMI, waist circumference, and VC using spirometry. Chi-square test was used for analysis. Results showed that 54.4% of respondents had abnormal BMI, 40.4% had central obesity, and 57.9% exhibited abnormal vital capacity. A significant relationship was found between BMI and VC (p=0.001), as well as between waist circumference and VC (p=0.010). These findings indicate that increased BMI and waist circumference may contribute to reduced lung function.

Abstract

Relapsed Pulmonary Tuberculosis is a condition of patients infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis who have received complete OAT treatment and are declared cured but are re-infected. Based on WHO (World Health Organization) data in 2014, there were 7,840 cases of relapsed pulmonary tuberculosis in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the characteristics and prognosis of relapsed pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Kramat Jati District Health Centre for the 2021-2022 period. This study uses medical record data with a retrospective descriptive method. In this study, data results were obtained on patients with Relapse Pulmonary Tuberculosis who were treated at the Kramat Jati District Health Center in the period 2021-2022, as many as 34 patients whose criteria met the inclusion criteria. The data obtained were data in the form of age, gender, type of pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosis, occupation or status, previous treatment history, anti-tuberculin drug guidelines, prognosis, which can be used as variables in this study. The data analysis used in this study is using descriptive statistical data methods with frequency analysis. The results showed that patients aged 21-40 years were (32.4%). Male gender (67.6%), bacteriological confirmed diagnosis type (94.1%). Type of employment or other status (58.8%), previous treatment history of relapse patients (61.8%), category 2 OAT guideline patients (82.4%). The prognosis of relapsed pulmonary tuberculosis patients tended to be good (27%). This study concludes that the prognosis of relapsed pulmonary tuberculosis patients with complete treatment category 2 tends to be good.
