Abstract

Myopia is one of the most common refractive errors found in the community and has become a major cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. The degree of myopia may influence intraocular pressure (IOP), which is a major risk factor for glaucoma. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the degree of myopia and intraocular pressure among patients at Prima Vision Eye Hospital Medan. This research employed an analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 48 patients diagnosed with myopia who met the inclusion criteria. The degree of myopia was categorized based on refraction examination results, while IOP was measured using non-contact tonometry. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most respondents were aged 21–30 years (39.6%) and the majority were female (58.3%). Most patients had moderate myopia (47.9%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between the degree of myopia and intraocular pressure (p < 0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between the degree of myopia and intraocular pressure among patients at Prima Vision Eye Hospital Medan. It is recommended that patients with high myopia undergo regular eye examinations for early detection of increased IOP and glaucoma risk.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural phase experienced by every woman and is characterized by the cessation of reproductive function due to a decrease in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This condition not only affects the reproductive system but also impacts changes in fat metabolism and an increase in Body Mass Index (BMI), potentially increasing the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders in postmenopausal women. This study aims to compare body mass index and fat metabolism in menopausal women. This study is an experimental study with a quasi-experimental design. The study was conducted at Royal Prima General Hospital, Medan. The study population consisted of all postmenopausal women undergoing medical examinations at Royal Prima General Hospital, Medan. A sample size of 40 individuals was divided into two groups. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analyses using the Independent Sample T-Test at a 95% confidence level (α=0.05). The results showed that most respondents were >50 years old, predominantly had overweight BMI categories, and presented lipid profiles categorized as borderline–high to high. Bivariate analysis revealed no significant differences between the two groups for all examined variables, including BMI (p = 0.675), total cholesterol (p = 0.745), LDL (p = 0.525), HDL (p = 0.968), and triglycerides (p = 0.914). Although statistically insignificant, the distribution of data indicated a tendency for increased total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels in the group with menopause duration >5 years, suggesting metabolic changes associated with prolonged menopausal status.
