Abstract

Stress in the elderly is a health problem that can affect their quality of life and physical and mental health. This study aims to determine the effect of breathing exercise on reducing stress levels in the elderly. The research design used was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test in the experimental group. A total of 32 elderly people were given regular breathing exercises for 4 weeks. Measuring tools used to assess PSS stress levels. The results of the analysis showed a significant decrease in stress levels, namely from 21.90 to 20.190 (p<0.001). Thus, breathing exercises have proven to be effective in reducing stress levels in the elderly. This research suggests applying breathing exercises as a non-pharmacological approach to managing stress in the elderly.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a common health issue with a high prevalence in the population, including in rural areas. This study aims to explore the relationship between lower limb muscle flexibility, measured using the Sit and Reach Test (SART), and the level of disability due to LBP, assessed through the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OLBPDQ), among 92 respondents in Adikarso Village, Kebumen. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between limited muscle flexibility and the level of disability due to LBP (p = 0.04). Respondents with low flexibility (<8 cm) tended to experience LBP with severe disability (41%-60%), while better flexibility (9-16 cm) was associated with moderate to minimal disability. These findings underscore the importance of muscle flexibility in the prevention and management of LBP and support a multidisciplinary approach that includes improving flexibility, physical activity, and lifestyle modifications to reduce the burden of LBP and enhance quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) ranks among the most common musculoskeletal disorders that impact functional mobility and overall quality of life, especially in older adults who work at school teachers. Although body mass index (BMI) is frequently utilized as an indicator of health risk, it does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass, which may have varying implications for LBP risk. Objectives: The objective of this research was to examine the correlation between body composition (BMI, muscle mass, body fat & visceral fat percentage) and the likelihood of experiencing LBP in pre-elderly individuals. Methods: This study used a cross sectional analytic design and included 72 pre-elderly participants between 45-59 years old, who were selected through purposive sampling. Body composition metrics were obtained using a bioelectrical impedance analysis device, while LBP disability was evaluated by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire. The data were analyzed utilizing Spearman correlation due to the non-normal distribution of the variables with the aid of IBM SPSS Statistic 26.0 software. Results: The analysis indicated a moderate negative correlation between muscle mass and ODI scores (r2 = -0.488, p = 0.001), implying that higher muscle mass correlates with reduced LBP related disability. Visceral fat percentage exhibited a weak yet significant negative correlation with ODI (r2 = -0.293, p = 0.012), whereas BMI and body fat percentage did not show significant correlation with LBP. Conclusion: Muscle mass was identified as the most critical protective factor against LBP in pre-elderly adults, while BMI and total body fat did not serve as predictors of LBP risk. These results highlight the significance of muscle preservation in strategies aimed at preventing LBP and suggest that BMI alone is inadequate for evaluating musculoskeletal health risks in aging populations.
