Abstract

Asthma is a common chronic disease and information on its management practices at the community level is helpful in identifying problems and improving asthma care. The prevalence of asthma in children below 18 years of age is around 9.3% and is on the increase. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between pulmonary function and duration of asthma in children. This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the outpatient clinic of RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo in Central Jakarta. The study subjects were children aged 6-18 years with frequent episodic or persistent asthma. Among the 31 subjects there were 28 children with frequent episodic asthma and 3 children with persistent asthma. The duration of frequent episodic asthma ranged from 4 to 84 months, with a mean duration of 28 months. The FEV1 and V50 values decreased in proportion to the duration of asthma (p=0.003 and p=0.012, respectively). Mean FEV1 in persistent asthma was lower than that in frequent episodic asthma (82.7% vs. 61.2% at p=0.005). Similarly V50 and V25 were lower in persistent asthma, but the decrease was not statistically significant. The decrease in FEV1 and V50 values was proportional to the duration of asthma. The severity of asthma is indicative of inadequate asthma control, resulting in a proportional decrease in pulmonary function. Therefore prevention of asthmatic attacks is an essential feature of asthma management in children in order to enhance their quality of life.

Abstract

The postmenopausal period plays an important role in women’s life and gives rise to many physical and mental problems. A cross-sectional was conducted to determine the quality of life and its determinants, namely pyschosocial and lifestyle factors in postmenopausal women. One hundred and seventy-six postmenopausal women meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited. The            menopause rating scale (MRS) questionnaire was used for the assessment of quality of life. One hundred and thirty-one (74.4%) subjects had complaints related to menopausal symptoms in 3 degrees of severity: mild (38.6%), moderate (30.7%) and severe (5.1%). Urogenital symptoms were the most frequent       complaints reported by the subjects (71.6%). The correlation between quality of life of   postmenopausal women and several psychosocial and lifestyle factors, namely marital status, education, occupation, knowledge and attitude towards menopause, exercise, smoking and consumption of caffeine and alcohol was statistically not significant (p>0.05). By multiple logistic regression analysis, some of the determinants, such as the subjects’ attitude towards menopause (PR = 2.863; 95% CI: 0.578 – 14.185) and support from the husband and/or family (PR = 2.124; 95% CI: 0.979 – 4.610) did not reach statistical significance, but were still the most influencing factors on their quality of life. Quality of life is worst in postmenopausal women and therefore counseling and support from husband and/or family are needed by the postmenopausal women in order to improve their quality of life.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia,  smoking, and obesity tend to occur together in the general population. Increasing prevalence of multiple CVD risk factors has been related to increased risk of death from coronary heart disease and stroke. Studies have suggested that people with several risk factors of CVD may have impaired health-related quality of life. The objective of this study was to assess the association of CVD risk factors with quality of life (QOL) among adults aged 40 to 65 years. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving  220 subjects 40 - 65 years of age at a health center. The CVD risk factors were assessed using the Framingham risk score that is the standard instrument for assessment of the risk of a first cardiac event. The risk factors assessed were age, smoking, blood pressure, total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. QOL was assessed by means of the WHOQOL-BREF instrument that had been prevalidated. The results of the study showed that 28.2% of subjects were smokers, 56.4% had stage 1 hypertension, 42.8% high total cholesterol and 13.6% low HDL cholesterol. The high risk group amounted to 45.5% and 42.3% constitued an intermediate risk group. High CVD risk scores were significantly associated with a low QOL for all domains (physical, psychological, social and environment) (p=0.000). Preventing or reducing the multiple CVD risk factors to improve QOL is necessary among adults.
