Abstract

Background: Diseases that caused by E. coli bacteria such as urinary tract infections, prostatitis, pelvic inflammation, infections of the lining of the brain in newborns and diarrhea or digestive tract infections. Treatment of this disease still uses antibiotics which over time will become resistant, with the expensive medical costs and the side effects that can be obtained later so it can be sought with alternative herbal plants such as lemongrass stem, betel leaf and ginger rhizome, which are some of them have antibacterial activity. Objectives: To test the antibacterial activity of mixture boiled water of lemongrass stem (Cymbopogan citratus), betel leaf (Piper betle) and ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale) against the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria. Method: The type of research used is a true experimental design with research design used is a posttest only control group test. Testing the antibacterial activity of mixture boiled water of lemongrass stem, betel leaf and ginger rhizome using the liquid dilution method. The research sample consisted of ciprofloxacin as positive control, aquades as negative control, and concentration groups of 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, `6.25%, 3.12%, 1.56% with three repetitions for each group. Result: Based on the results of bacterial testing with dilution method using the mixture boiled water of lemongrass stem, betel leaf and ginger rhizome, the minimum resist rate test results were obtained at concentration 100% and there was no minimum killing rate. Conclusion: The mixture boiled water of lemongrass stem, betel leaf and ginger rhizome did not have antibacterial activity against the growth of Escherichia coli.

Abstract

Abstract Background : Obesity is a condition where there is an accumulation of excess fat in the body. In obesity, especially central obesity is associated with most diseases such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. This results in high morbidity and mortality rates for obese patients. Central obesity is the accumulation of fat in the abdomen as measured by anthropometric measurements of waist circumference (waist circumference). Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and one of the independent risk factors for hypertension is obesity. The risk of hypertension increases by 1.40 times in people with central obesity. Hypertension is a disease that often occurs in the elderly. Objective: This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between waist circumference and blood pressure in the elderly at the Budi Agung Nursing Home, Kupang City. Method: This study is a correlation analytic study using a cross-sectional design. The research population is the elderly at the Budi Agung Nursing Home in Kupang City. Sampling is done by using purposive sampling technique and obtained as many as 60 research subjects. Waist circumference was measured using a non- elastic tape measure in a standing position. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer Result: Among male respondents, 76.9% had a waist circumference of ≤94.0 cm, 11.5% had a waist circumference of >94.0-102.0 cm, and 11.5% had a waist circumference of >102.0 cm. Female respondents, 23.5% had a waist circumference of ≤80.0 cm, 23.5% had a waist circumference of >80.0-88.0 cm, and 52.9% had a waist circumference of >88.0 cm. on blood pressure, 13.3% normal, 43.3% prehypertension, 31.7% hypertension level 1, 11.7 hypertension level 2. The results of bivariate analysis using the Spearmen test obtained p = 0.019 (r = 0.303). Conclusion: There is a relationship between waist circumference and blood pressure in the elderly at the Budi Agung Nursing Home in Kupang City. Keywords: Waist circumference, blood pressure, elderly
