Abstract

Around 223.5 million individuals experienced low back pain, and there were 63.7 million years lived with disability. Multiple studies have identified various risk factors that contribute to the development and persistence of LBP in this demographic, including personal and occupational risk factors. This study aims to investigate personal and occupational risk factors causing LBP complaints among administrative workers at the two largest hospitals in Surakarta City, Indonesia. This study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted at RSUNS and RSDM in June-July 2024, using purposive sampling to select 130 respondents. This study used a questionnaire to collect data on personal and work risk factors such as age, education, gender, length of service, medical history, sitting position, chair backrest height, and duration of sitting in the office. The data was processed using the Somers D test to determine the correlation between the independent and dependent variables. This study found that key occupational risk factors, such as sitting position (p = 0.688), height of chair backrest (p = 0.372), and duration of sitting at the office (p = 0.283), showed no significant correlation to low back pain (LBP) among hospital administrative workers. However, over half of the respondents reported experiencing moderate LBP, highlighting it as an occupational health issue. The findings suggest that commonly measured ergonomic indicators alone may not adequately assess LBP risk in this setting. Therefore, hospitals should implement structured active breaks, work mobility/rest periods, and health education about prolonged sitting.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminths remain major neglected tropical infections affecting approximately 24% of the global population, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. Chronic infection may contribute to malnutrition and stunting in children. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of soil-transmitted helminth infections and hygiene risk among stunted toddlers in Kaliwates District. A cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2023 to May 2024 involving 103 stunted toddlers. Stool samples were examined using sedimentation and flotation methods, and hygiene data were collected through caregiver interviews. Fisher’s exact test and Moran’s Index were applied. The infection prevalence was 8.7%, predominantly hookworm. No significant association was found between hygiene factors and infection (p>0.05). Spatial analysis indicated a random distribution pattern. These findings suggest that deworming programs and hygiene promotion should be maintained, and spatial mapping may support targeted interventions.

Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure from motor vehicle emissions is a major environmental health concern for street vendors with prolonged outdoor activities. This study aimed to assess the health risks of CO exposure among street vendors in the Jembatan Lima Market, West Jakarta. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using the Environmental Health Risk Analysis (ARKL) approach. CO concentrations were measured over three days using an Indoor Air Quality Monitor. The results showed CO concentrations ranging from 3.43 to 21.98 mg/m³, with an average of 12.91 mg/m³. Risk characterization indicated that real-time exposure was within safe limits (RQ ≤ 1). However, lifetime risk analysis demonstrated potential non-carcinogenic health risks, with Risk Quotient (RQ ≥ 1) occurring from the 10th year at maximum concentrations and from the 15th year at average concentrations. These findings indicate that long-term CO exposure may pose significant health risks to street vendors.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, a common gynecological complaint among young females, manifested with severe pain in 36.6% (117/320) of participants and moderate-to-severe quality of life (QoL) impairment in 74.2% (222/320) among female medical students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This cross-sectional study utilized non-random convenience sampling to enroll 320 participants, who completed a reliable self-structured questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.72). Associations between dysmenorrhea factors and QoL domains (mild, moderate, severe) were evaluated using Pearson chi-square tests. No significant association was observed between menstrual pain intensity and QoL (χ2=25.932, df = 20, p = 0.168). In contrast, breakfast skipping showed a strong association with QoL (χ2=12.958, df = 2, p = 0.002). Associated symptoms (χ2=24.289, df = 10, p = 0.007) and irregular menstrual cycles (χ2=7.429, df = 2, p = 0.024) also demonstrated significant links, highlighting lifestyle and symptom clustering effects. These findings underscore that QoL burdens stem primarily from modifiable factors beyond pain severity alone. Targeted non-pharmacological interventions—such as nutritional education to encourage breakfast consumption and proactive symptom management—are recommended to mitigate dysmenorrhea's impact and enhance well-being in this population.
