Abstract

Nutritional status assessment was conducted using two approaches: Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement as a non-invasive method, and hemoglobin (Hb) level examination as an invasive method. This study aimed to determine the relationship between scabies and nutritional status measured using BMI and Hb in SKO boarding school students in Kupang City. The study was an observational analytic cross-sectional design with a simple sampling technique. The research group included 144 individuals, and the sample size was determined through simple random sampling using the Slovin formula, leading to 59 participants. The chi-square statistical test was applied in this research to examine the connection between nutritional status and the occurrence of scabies. Results will be relevant if the p-value is less than 0.05. Scabies symptoms appeared in 15 participants (25.4%), while the bivariate analysis indicated no meaningful connection between nutritional status and scabies symptoms. Nutritional status evaluated through Body Mass Index (BMI) did not demonstrate a significant link with scabies symptoms, with the chi-square result yielding a value of (p = 0.814). Most participants had a normal BMI. In addition, nutritional status assessed by hemoglobin (Hb) levels also exhibited no noteworthy correlation with scabies symptoms, with a chi-square test giving a p-value of 0.531. The majority of participants had normal Hb levels. This leads to the conclusion that nutritional status is not related to scabies symptoms.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) is a metabolic disorder that usually involves chronic inflammatory responses. The Neutrophil–Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is often utilized as a simple and cost-effective indicator of inflammation in the entire body. However, studies examining its connection to HbA1c, which indicates long-term glucose management, reveal inconsistent findings across various populations. This study aimed to assess the relationship between HbA1c levels and NLR values among T2DM patients attending the Internal Medicine Clinic of Mgr. Gabriel Manek Hospital, Atambua. This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 62 outpatients with T2DM, selected through accidental sampling between August and November 2025. HbA1c levels and leukocyte differential counts used to calculate NLR were obtained from medical records. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test due to non-normal distribution. Most respondents were female (56.5%) and aged 46–55 years (51.6%). A large proportion of patients demonstrated suboptimal glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%) at 91.9%. NLR values were predominantly within the normal range (79.0%). Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between HbA1c levels and NLR (p = 0.321; r = 0.128). This study found no meaningful correlation between HbA1c levels and NLR among T2DM outpatients in the study setting. The findings suggest that in stable outpatient populations, elevated HbA1c levels may not directly reflect systemic inflammatory activity as measured by NLR.
