Abstract

Cholesterol is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases. High cholesterol levels that exceed normal limits or hypercholesterolemia can be a risk factor that causes various non-communicable diseases such as an increased risk of hypertension, obesity, stroke and coronary heart disease. The factor associated with high cholesterol is Body Mass Index (BMI). High body mass index (BMI) is caused by high calorie consumption patterns, lack of physical activity, and consuming foods that contain high amounts of calories, salt and fat, including cholesterol. Weight gain is also associated with increased serum cholesterol levels. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between BMI and cholesterol levels in the community around UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur. The method used is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional research design. The research sample used was the community around UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur who visited UPN Serving activities. The sample consisted of 69 people with sampling using simple random sampling techniques. Data analysis used bivariate analysis (chi square test). The results showed that of the 69 respondents, the largest percentage of BMI was normal at 52.4%, overweight at 31.9% and obesity 1 at 8.7%. Meanwhile, the results of cholesterol levels were obtained from 29 people in the high cholesterol level category and 40 people in the low cholesterol level category. The Chi-Square test between body mass index (BMI) and cholesterol levels in the community around UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur obtained a statistical result of 0.675 (p > 0.05). The conclusion of the research is that there is no relationship between body mass index (BMI) and cholesterol levels in the community around UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur .

Abstract

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies significantly increase vulnerability to infectious diseases, partiularly among disaster-affected populations with limited access to food and healthcare. Despite this, micronutrient interventions are rarely prioritized in emergency health protocols, especially in countries like Indonesia. Objective: This review aims to examine the role of micronutrients in preventing infectious diseases in populations affected by disasters, based on an analysis of primary research articles. Methods: A narrative thematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria covered primary studies (both experimental and observational) within disaster settings, published between 2013 and 2023. A total of 25 eligible studies were analyzed. Results: Most studies reported that supplementation with micronutrients particularly vitamin A, vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C, and iron was associated with reduced incidence and severity of respiratory tract infections, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Multi-micronutrient interventions proved more effective than single-nutrient approaches. However, implementation in emergency contexts remains limited, and vulnerable groups beyond young childrensuch as adolescent girls, pregnant women, and the elderlyare often underrepresented in the literature. Conclusion: Micronutrient supplementation has substantial potential to strengthen post-disaster health resilience. Integrating micronutrient strategies into emergency logistics, conducting targeted nutritional screening, and enhancing multi-sectoral training are essential steps toward improving disaster response outcomes.
