Abstract

South Kalimantan Province ranked 18th for diabetes mellitus cases in Indonesia in 2018. Banjarmasin City showed the highest prevalence, increasing from 1.7% in 2013 to 2.12% in 2018, with 16,013 cases recorded in 2022. Among the 27 community health centers, Alalak Selatan Health Center reported the highest coverage with 517 patients. This observational analytic study with a case-control design involved 52 cases and 52 controls selected through accidental sampling in three sub-districts under Alalak Selatan Health Center. The results revealed no significant association between age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), genetics, and knowledge with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, diet and physical activity were significantly associated, with physical activity being the most influential factor. Improvement in dietary habits and increased physical activity, particularly exercise, are recommended for better diabetes mellitus prevention and management

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease with a rising prevalence. Alkaloids are known to have antidiabetic effects by inhibiting carbohydrate-digesting enzymes and enhancing glucose metabolism. This study aimed to determine the total alkaloid content of Rambai leaves (Sonneratia caseolaris) using solvents with different polarities: ethanol and n-hexane. A descriptive study was conducted using the maceration method, followed by quantification of alkaloids with the quinine equivalent method using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Results showed that ethanol extract produced a higher yield (17.72 g; 35.44%) compared to n-hexane (3.09 g; 6.18%). The alkaloid content in the ethanol extract was 414.43 µg/g, nearly twice that of n-hexane (217.09 µg/g). Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p<0.001). Ethanol was proven to be more effective in extracting polar to semi-polar alkaloid compounds. The high alkaloid content indicates Rambai leaves have potential as a natural source for diabetes therapy. These findings provide a foundation for future product development and preclinical trials.

Abstract

Abstrak Cholesterol represents a significant contributing factor to the development of ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke. It is divided into two categories: high-density lipoprotein (HDL), commonly referred to as good cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), known as bad cholesterol. This research aims to examine the correlation between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward preventing increased cholesterol levels among elderly individuals. The study applied a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional design. The target population included older adults residing in the Kartasura Public Health Center area, encompassing those with both normal and high cholesterol levels, during the period from July to September 2025. Fifty participants were recruited through purposive sampling, with eligibility criteria including being 60 years of age or older and willing to complete the questionnaire. The study utilized validated and reliable instruments to assess knowledge and attitudes. The results are expected to enhance understanding of how knowledge and attitudes relate to efforts in preventing elevated cholesterol levels among the elderly.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a major public health issue in Indonesia. One of the contributing factors is intestinal parasitic infection, such as (buski fluke), particularly in areas with poor sanitation and raw aquatic plant consumption. To compare hemoglobin levels among pregnant women in endemic and non-endemic areas of Fasciolopsis buski. This was a comparative cross-sectional study involving 124 pregnant women, consisting of 62 from endemic and 62 from non-endemic regions. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and hemoglobin measurements using Hemocue®. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test at a 0.05 significance level. The mean hemoglobin level among pregnant women in endemic areas was 10.7 ± 1.1 g/dL, while in non-endemic areas it was 11.6 ± 1.0 g/dL. The t-test revealed a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.001). The prevalence of anemia was 61.3% in endemic and 29.0% in non-endemic areas. There is a significant difference in hemoglobin levels between pregnant women living in endemic and non-endemic areas of Fasciolopsis buski. Endemicity of parasitic infection may contribute to higher anemia risk among pregnant women in endemic regions.

Abstract

Hypertension, commonly known as the “silent killer” can induce anxiety in sufferers due to the need for long-term treatment. High levels of anxiety will impact the decline in sleep quality, which disrupts blood pressure stability and increases the risk of hypertension recurrence. This study examines the correlation between anxiety and sleep quality in elderly hypertensive patients at Purwosari Health Center, Surakarta. This research employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational design, using the Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS) questionnaire to assess anxiety and the Sleep Quality Scale (SQS) to measure sleep quality. The study involved 159 respondents within the service area. A significant correlation exists between anxiety and sleep quality among hypertensive patients in the working area Purwosari Health Center, Surakarta City. The correlation test between anxiety and sleep quality yielded a significant value of p = 0.000 (P < 0.01). The Chi-Square analysis reveals a significant link between anxiety and sleep quality (p = 0.001, H₀ rejected, H₁ accepted). Of the 80 respondents with mild anxiety, 54 (67.5%) had good sleep quality; whereas of the 79 respondents with moderate anxiety, 52 (65.8%) experienced poor sleep quality. Conclusion: The heavier the anxiety level, the worse the sleep quality, thus requiring appropriate interventions to reduce anxiety in elderly hypertension patients.

Abstract

Nutritional status and academic stress are suspected to influence adolescent academic achievement; therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and academic achievement and the role of academic stress as a modifying factor among 10th-grade students of SMAN 14 Bandung. This analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design involved 123 adolescents selected by consecutive sampling from Januari to April 2025. Nutritional status was determined using body mass index-for-age according to the 2020 Indonesian Ministry of Health guidelines, academic achievement was measured by report card average scores, and academic stress was assessed using the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents. Overall, no significant relationship was found between nutritional status and academic achievement (p = 0.859); however, after stratification by stress level, a significant difference appeared in the normal-to-mild stress group (p = 0.038) but not in the very severe stress group (p = 0.427). High academic stress can mask the benefits of good nutritional status on academic performance. Most adolescents were overweight (51.2%). Improving adolescent academic achievement requires a dual approach of balanced nutrition improvement and effective academic stress management through education, counselling, and supportive school and family environments.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition caused by plaque accumulation resulting from poor oral hygiene. Preventive measures include plaque control behaviors encompassing knowledge, attitudes, and actions through mechanical and chemical methods. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and plaque control actions with periodontal tissue conditions in adolescents aged 15-19 years at SMA Negeri 06 Samarinda. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 97 students from SMA Negeri 06 Samarinda. Data were collected using a questionnaire to measure knowledge, attitudes, and plaque control practices, along with periodontal tissue examination using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Data were analyzed using Chi-Square test and Spearman correlation. Results showed the majority of respondents' behavior (36.1%) was in the moderate category. Bivariate analysis revealed significant relationships between knowledge (p=0.000; r=-0.647), attitudes (p=0.000; r=-0.686), and actions (p=0.000; r=-0.743) with periodontal tissue condition. In conclusion, there is a strong relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and plaque control actions with periodontal tissue condition in adolescents aged 15-19 years at SMA Negeri 06 Samarinda. The implication of this study is the need for comprehensive dental health education for adolescents through school-based programs.

Abstract

Fish tradings are considered an occupational group at high risk for mycotic infections due to continuous water exposure, which creates a moist environment favorable for fungal growth. This study aimed to identify fungal species causing onychomycosis in fish trading nails using culture on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and confirmation by 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) microscopic examination. The method used in this study was experimental. Results of microscopic examination revealed positive in 13 samples (87.7%) and negative in 2 samples (13.3%). The findings indicate that the majority of fish traders’ nails at Palangka Raya City Market are infected with non-dermatophyte fungi as the cause of onychomycosis.
