Abstract

Background : Stroke is one of the common caused of death in the world. Lifestyle modification is to prevent the stroke occurred and to reduce the risk of new stroke events. Method: method used is a literature review through international journals. Discussion : This literature review shows that there is a poor correlation between increased knowledge about stroke and changes in lifestyle behavior. Modification of risk factors is very important for primary and secondary stroke prevention. Long-term lifestyle modification is difficult to maintain and require comprehensive and individualized intervention. Increasing the understanding of stroke risk will prevent a significant number of strokes before they lead to death and disability. In this way, two major strategies could be applied: the high-risk strategy and the mass (population-based)strategy. The high-risk one deals with individuals with a higher risk of developing stroke and includes lifestyle changes (i.e., reduced salt and alcohol intake, physical activity, weight loss, smoking cessation, etc.) and pharmacological interventions (i.e BP and lipid lowering agents, antiplatelet medications, etc.). Conclusion: Lifestyle modifications should address not single but multiple cardiovascular risk factors to effectively reduce the risk of stroke. Lifestyle modifications on a personal level should include adequate physical activity, a healthy diet, the cessation of smoking and alcohol consumption, and stress reduction. Physical activities should be performed in a healthy environment without air pollution.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, with Indonesia ranking second globally in the number of Tuberculosis cases after India. High population density, particularly in slum areas with poor sanitation, plays a crucial role in facilitating TB transmission. These unhealthy environmental conditions significantly elevate transmission risks, especially in communities struggling with poverty. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between population density and the risk of TB transmission in overcrowded neighborhoods. Methods: A literature review was conducted on studies published between 2019 and 2024, utilizing keywords related to tuberculosis, population density, and densely populated settlements. Results: High population density, especially in areas characterized by substandard housing and inadequate ventilation, substantially increases the risk of TB transmission. Conclusion: Overcrowded neighborhoods with poor housing conditions significantly contribute to the spread of TB. Addressing these issues through improved housing and sanitation is essential to reduce transmission rates and protect public health.
