Abstract

Age is one of the important variables in the incidence of degenerative diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus (DM), and kidney disorders. It is estimated that by 2030, there will be an increase in deaths due to degenerative diseases in the world, namely ischemic heart disease of around 7.2 million cases and stroke of around 5.5 million cases. This is a double burden in various countries, including Indonesia. This analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design aims to analyze the correlation between age factors and cholesterol levels, time blood sugar levels (TBS), and uric acid levels. The sample involved in this study was 24 people who were taken using the purposive sampling technique. Analysis of the data for the correlation test uses the Spearman test. The results showed that the increase in cholesterol levels (P value = 0.000 < = 0.05 with R = 0.703), TBS levels (P value= 0.454 > =0.05 with R=0.160), and uric acid levels (P value= 0.454 > =0.05 with R=0.235). It can be concluded that age positively correlates with cholesterol levels, meaning that the older a person is, the higher their cholesterol levels. Age does not correlate with GDS levels and uric acid levels. It is expected that the higher-age person must change his lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle to avoid various disease problems, especially degenerative diseases that are closely related to lifestyle.

Abstract

The management of HIV/AIDS with ARV therapy is largely determined by the adherence to PLHIV in consuming ARVs, WHO in 2021 reported that AIDS-related deaths have decreased globally thanks to the use of ARV therapy of 650,000 people living with HIV 68% fewer died from HIV, compared to the peak the number of cases was in 2004, and 52% less than in 2010. People with HIV who are not compliant with taking ARVs either in doses or shifting the time of taking their medication will cause drug resistance, increase in the amount of virus in the body, increase the risk of transmission, decrease the quality of life of PLHIV because it will cause various opportunistic infections. This study aims to analyze factors related to antiretroviral therapy adherence of people living with HIV/AIDS in Makassar City. The research method used is observational research with a cross-sectional study approach. The population and sample were PLWHA who went to hospitals and were under the guidance of HIV/AIDS NGOs. The sample was taken purposively with certain criteria with a total of 80 PLWHA. The results showed that out of 80 PLHIV, 51 PLHIV (63.8%) adhered to taking ARVs with a value of 0.000 ≤ α 0.005, meaning that social support was related to adherence to ARV therapy, while knowledge was not related to adherence to ARV therapy, pValue 0.598 > α 0.05, however if seen from the proportion of 58 PLWHA with sufficient knowledge, 37 PLHIV (46.3%) adhered to ARV therapy. It is recommended for PLWHA to be more open about their disease status and involve HIV NGOs to educate their families and people in their surrounding environment about HIV to reduce stigma and discrimination so that PLWHA can freely seek treatment and get support from their social environment to carry out perfect treatment and improve their quality of life.

Abstract

The use of benzene as a solvent in the manufacturing industry can be dangerous because it is volatile, toxic, and carcinogenic. Exposure to benzene occurs through inhalation of the chemical in the air, which can enter the human body through the respiratory system. The levels of trans, trans-Muconic Acid (tt-MA), which is used to metabolize benzene, can be affected by the amount of exposure to the chemical. This study aims to determine the differences in exposure to benzene in the air by measuring the tt-MA indicators and liver function of workers in the manufacturing industry. This research uses an observational and cross-sectional approach, with a population of 158 employees from both administration and production units. The sample size for the study is 16 respondents, selected using the consecutive sampling technique. The research instrument uses a questionnaire and examines urine samples using the in-house method. Blood samples are examined using IFCC 37 C. The data is processed using the independent-sample t-test and Pearson correlation. The results show that the level of benzene in the air is below the threshold of 0.5 ppm. However, there is a significant difference in the results of tt-MA and SGOT (p less than 0.05), while the levels of SGPT (p greater than 0.05) show no significant differences. In conclusion, there are differences in the tt-MA and SGOT exposure levels between workers in the production and toxicity units, while SGPT does not show significant differences. It is recommended that the industry maximizes the use of local exhaust ventilation and prohibits smoking.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a nutritional issue that poses a threat to adolescents in Indonesia, particularly to adolescent girls. According to the 2018 Basic Health Survey (Riskesdas), the proportion of CED among adolescent girls in Indonesia was 36.3%. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with CED among adolescent girls in the catchment area of Poka-Rumah Tiga, Ambon City. The study was conducted in August 2022 and used a cross-sectional approach with total sampling. The respondents were students aged 15-19 years from three high schools/equivalents in the catchment area of Poka-Rumah Tiga Health Center (SMKN 5 Ambon, SMAN 3 Ambon, and MA Al-Mabrur), with a total of 441 respondents. CED was determined based on the mid-upper arm circumference size being less than 23.5 cm. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with CED in adolescent girls. Of the 441 adolescent girls who participated in this study, 45.80% were found to have CED. The odds of CED were lower in adolescent girls with normal BMI (18.5-22.9 kg/m2) (OR=0.09; 95%CI: 0.05-0.15; p less than 0.001) and overweight (≥23 kg/m2) (OR=0.01; 95%CI: 0.00-0.07; p less than 0.001) compared to those who were underweight (BMI less than 18.5 kg/m2). This study highlights the importance of conducting nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions for adolescent girls. This includes raising the awareness and knowledge of adolescent girls, family members, and school teachers regarding the importance of balanced nutrition to reduce CED.

Abstract

The morbidity and mortality rate of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) in Indonesia is increasing every year. The results of the 2019 Basic Health Research showed that 1.5% or 15 out of 1000 Indonesians suffer from CHD. The lack of health literacy of CHD patients and their families related to symptoms, risks, lifestyle, and treatment of CHD will further worsen the patient's condition. The purpose of this study was to analyze family support in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients in the use of information and health services. Qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach and data collection techniques are used through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. There were eight research informants consisting of one doctor as a key informant, two supporting informants, and five ordinary informants with criteria for a patient's condition that was stable, communicative, and willing to be an informant. The results showed that the ability of patients to receive and manage information, called health literacy in CHD patients and their families, is still low because they lack the ability to receive and manage information from doctors and lack independent information search efforts. The conclusion of this study is that access to information, receipt, and management of information are very important to improve the health literacy of CHD and their families.

Abstract

During COVID-19, there was a change in student lifestyle, which triggered visceral fat accumulation. The accumulation of visceral fat is one of the causes of systemic inflammation, which is dangerous for the integrity of the brain and can potentially reduce cognitive function. This study aimed to determine the relationship between visceral fat and cognitive function among medical students. This study used a cross-sectional design towards 73 Faculty of Medicine Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta students who met the criteria and were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The measurement of visceral fat was done using the Tanita Body Composition Analyzer, while the measurement of cognitive function was done using the Digit Symbol Substitution Test questionnaire. The study showed differences in sex and body mass index between normal and high visceral fat groups. There were no differences in age, consumption of junk food, and physical activity between the visceral fat groups. The Spearman test results showed a relationship between visceral fat and cognitive function (p-value equal 0.000; r equal -0.561). The higher the visceral fat, the lower the cognitive function.

Abstract

Stunting is the condition where the children have stunted growth and development refers to weight/age (TB/U). In 2015-2017, there were 19,4%, 18,9% and 21,3% cases in West Sumatra. Pasaman district had the highest percentage of stunting from 19 Cities in West Sumatera, which is 21,1%, 25,7%, and 25% cases. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factor control model for stunting in toddlers in the Pasaman district. This study was an observational analytic study with an unmatched case-control design. The subject of this study was the 35 families who had children 12-59 months with stunting cases and another 35 group control in Pasaman district. Data were collected by using a questionnaire to measure stunting risk factors. Data was analyzed by using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis with regression and backward methods. The result of the study showed that “father education level” as a stunting risk factor had a P value=0,048 and “family income” with P value = 0,015, while history of birth weight had a P value of 0,08. The final result (sixth step) showed that the baby's birth weight variable had the odds ratio eβ=31,578 when analyzed simultaneously with another variable (parenting and father’s education level). Conclusion: baby birth weight variable simultaneously with parenting and the father’s educational level affected the incident of stunting in toddlers (eβ=31,578). It is necessary to increase family empowerment to control the cases of stunting related to the nutrition of pregnant mothers by improved child care, parenting in feeding, and increased family income.

Abstract

Disease is a human health problem. In overcoming existing health problems, predictive analysis is needed to help overcome them early and plan to prevent and control these diseases. This study aims to determine the prediction of disease time patterns in health data modeling at Argamakmur Hospital. By knowing existing disease patterns, information can be provided based on time series patterns. The prediction of this time series pattern uses time series analysis with a seasonal pattern, which takes all possible data for existing patterns to predict and analyze time series to obtain a predictive model. This study uses time series analysis to model seasonal autoregressive integrated moving averages. The results obtained are predictions for the next six months from the best model obtained, namely: data Typhoid Fever disease ARIMA (1.1,1) increased by 3.08%, data Gastroenteritis disease ARIMA(1,0,1) increased 0.51%, data Dyspepsia data ARIMA (0,1,2) increased by 0.55%, data Acute Anemia disease ARIMA(1,0,2) decreased by 0.4%, data bronchopneumonia disease ARIMA(1,0,1) decreased by 0.58%, data for acute diarrhea disease ARIMA(1,0,1) increased 0.2%, data for vertigo ARIMA(1,0,2) decreased 0.64%, data for stroke ARIMA(1,1,1) decreased 0.28%, data tumor ARIMA(1,0,1) decreased 1%, data on asthma ARIMA(1,0,1) decreased 0.21%, data DM disease ARIMA(1,0,1) decreased by 0.47%, and data Pulmonary TB disease ARIMA(1,0,1) decreased by 0.14%. Based on these results, it is suggested that the hospital be advised to increase awareness of Typhoid Fever, gastroenteritis, and Dyspepsia.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases have increased from 39.8% in 1990 to 69.9% in 2017, and some are suffered by the elderly. The government guarantees the availability of elderly health services through posbindu, but the participation of the elderly in posbindu services has not met the 100% target. This study aimed to analyze what factors can affect the elderly in utilizing Posbindu PTM in Rembang Regency. The type of research used is quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The total population is 60,726 elderly in Rembang Regency. The sampling method is random sampling, and the sample size is determined using the Lemeshow formula; a number of 400 elderly people are obtained. The instrument was used as a questionnaire with the interview method. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and multiple logistic regression. The relationship test results showed a p-value <0.05 between the variables of health worker support, family support, perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived obstacles to using Posbindu PTM. The results of this study obtained a lack of utilization of Posbindu PTM by 65.5%. The most influential factor in the multivariate analysis was perceived vulnerability p value = 0.0001, OR = 9.153, 95% CI = 4.595-18.230, while family support proved to have no significant effect (p-value = 0.259). The conclusion of this study is that the perceived vulnerability variable has the most influence on the utilization of Posbindu PTM. It is suggested that there should be efforts to increase the knowledge of the elderly so that the elderly have literacy about their illness so that they can increase the participation of the elderly in posbindu services
