Abstract

This study aimed to identify medical students’ healthy lifestyle behaviors during the new normal era and to determine its relationship with sociodemographic factors, bearing in mind that, as future physicians and health role models, medical students play an important role in adopting and promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors to reduce the risk of future health problems as well as optimize communities’ health status. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences of Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya, with 111 medical students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using sociodemographic characteristics (sex, residence, year of study, and participation in health promotion training) and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and bivariate analyses. The results showed a moderate total HPLP-II score (2.46± 0.37). Interpersonal relations had the highest mean score, and health responsibility had the lowest. A significant difference in the total HPLP-II scores was identified between students participating in health promotion training and those who did not (p-value = 0.049). Further study is needed to explore other factors influencing healthy lifestyle behaviors among medical students.

Abstract

Anemia is a significant health concern, especially among adolescent females in Indonesia. Menstruation and poor nutrition are major contributors to anemia, since menstruation leads to red blood cell loss and poor nutrition hinders production. This study examines the relationship between menstrual characteristics, nutritional status, and anemia among high school female students in Muara Siberut Village, Mentawai Islands. This cross-sectional observational study involved 97 female high school students. We assessed nutritional status using BMI percentiles and categorized menstrual characteristics according to standard gynecological classifications. Anemia was diagnosed via hemoglobin measurements using a digital hemoglobinometer. Statistical analyses (p0.05) with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) utilized Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests to explore associations between menstrual characteristics, nutritional status, and anemia. No significant correlation was observed between nutritional status and anemia (p=0.394). Conversely, a significant correlation was found between the menstrual cycle and anemia (p=0.023) as well as between menstrual length and anemia (p=0.017). Furthermore, a subgroup analysis revealed individuals with a normal menstrual cycle were at a higher risk of experiencing anemia compared to those with oligomenorrhea (OR=4, 95%CI=0.988–16.199). Additionally, the results indicated that individuals with normal menstrual length were at a higher risk of experiencing anemia compared to those with hypomenorrhea (OR=4.624, 95%CI=1.174–18.202). This study provides valuable insights into the predictors of anemia among female adolescents, emphasizing the need for targeted health education and interventions.
