Abstract

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with chronic hyperglycemia due to genetic and lifestyle interactions. Type 2 diabetes and hypertension are often comorbidities because they share risk factors such as endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Increased blood pressure in diabetics is triggered by hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and sleep apnea. Visceral fat also plays an important role in the development of hypertension, especially in adulthood. This study aims to determine the relationship between visceral fat percentage and blood pressure in Type II DM patients at Haji Medan Hospital The research conducted was observational analytical research with a cross sectional approach. The largest age group is 50–59 years old and the most gender is male (53.6%). The most blood pressure category is grade I hypertension (50.7%), and the most visceral fat category is high (10–14%). Systolic blood pressure had an average value of 142.4 mmHg, diastolic 81.8 mmHg, and MAP 102 mmHg. The correlation of blood pressure with visceral fat has a coefficient of 0.14 which indicates a moderate relationship. The correlation of systolic and visceral fat (r = 0.350) showed a low relationship, while the correlation of diastolic and visceral fat (r = 0.416) showed a moderate relationship. The most patients diagnosed with type 2 DM at Haji Medan Hospital are male with a percentage of 53.6% with the highest age range of 50-59 years, there is a positive correlation between the percentage of visceral fat and blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic.

Abstract

Abstract: The shape of the pedis arcus affects the way of walking. Abnormal pedis arcus results in an unstable position of the legs as a body support when walking. This can cause several complaints such as imbalance, fatigue during long walks, pain and injury. Walking is one way to measure a person's fitness level. This study analyzes the relationship between the shape of the pedis arcus based on the foot print test and the VO2 Max value of FK UMSU students. This research is observational and analytical with a cross-sectional approach. The footprint test was carried out on 67 respondents followed by Clarke's angle measurement to determine the type of arcus pedis for each respondent. The body weight was then measured, followed by a six-minute walking test (6MWT) to obtain a VO2 Max value. The results obtained were that 36 (53.7%) respondents had a normal pedis arcus shape (normal foot), 13 (19.4%) high pedis arcus shape (cavus foot), and 18 (26.9%) flat foot arcus pedis shape. The results of the Somers'd test were symmetrical (P = 0.353), arcus pedis dependent (P = 0.353), and VO2 Max dependent (P = 0.353). A P-value 0.05 means that the variable of the shape of the arcus pedis and the fitness level (Vo2max value) is not proven to affect each other, so it can be concluded that the shape of the arcus pedis is not related to a person's fitness level.

Abstract

Abstract: Hypercholesterolemia is one of the lipid disorders that is usually characterized by an increase in cholesterol levels in the blood to above 200 mg/dL. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia in the world is around 45% while in Southeast Asia it is around 30% and in Indonesia it reaches 35%. Currently, people with hypercholesterolemia are not only adults or the elderly, but many children and adolescents have experienced hypercholesterolemia due to their lifestyle. Emprit ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) or small ginger is a ginger used for spices, beverage raw materials, and herbal medicine. The main ingredients in ginger are shogaol and gingerol which are flavonoid compounds. The decrease in cholesterol levels is influenced by flavonoid and polyphenol compounds that prevent free radicals, have a hypocholesterol effect that inhibits the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase.  This study aims to find out whether ginger emprit can lower cholesterol levels in students suffering from hypercholesterolemia. The research method used was quantitative with a research design using pre-experimental (pretest and posttest) on 61 people suffering from hypercholesterolemia and a statistical wilcoxon test will be performed. It was found that 61 students had hypercholesterol and 36 of them had decreased to normal after consuming emprit ginger extract. This result is supported by statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon method with a p-value of 0.000 (p 0.05).  It can be concluded with a p-value of 0.000 that the administration of emprit ginger extract has the potential to have a significant influence on students suffering from hypercholesterolemi
