Abstract

Most adolescents are prone to risky eating behaviors, which are unhealthy and nutritionally imbalanced. Dietary behaviors and eating habits are still developing in adolescents; therefore, it is important to encourage them against adopting risky eating behaviors to prevent various future health problems, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease. This study aims to analyze the association between preference towards food content on social media and the level of risky eating behavior among high school students in Medan. The sample size in this cross-sectional study was 334 high school students selected by simple random sampling. Data were then analyzed using the chi-square test. The results indicated that there was a significant association between preference toward food content on social media and risky eating behavior among high school students in Medan (p<0.001). High school students with negative preferences, who prefer to watch and follow popular or trending but unhealthy food content on social media, had a 2.188 (95% CI: 1.703–2.811) times greater risk of adopting more severe levels of risky eating behavior than those with positive preferences. The health department is suggested to collaborate with schools and parents in implementing social media literacy programs aimed at educating high school students to be more discerning in watching food content on social media while still considering nutritional value and learning about the impact of their preferred foods.

Abstract

Cognitive function in the elderly refers to conscious mental activities such as thinking, remembering, learning, and using language. Cognitive impairments in the elderly can affect various aspects of life, including physical ability, independence in daily activities, and social relationships. Purpose of this study is to determine the effect of integrating brain vitalization exercises to low impact aerobic exercise on cognitive improvement in elderly individuals aged 65-75 years. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 26 samples were selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups: 13 elderly participants in the Low Impact Aerobic Exercise group and 13 in the group that combined brain vitalization exercises with low impact aerobics. The independent variable was the addition of brain vitalization exercises, and the dependent variable was cognitive function, measured using the GPCOG score instrument. Data analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and Paired Sample T-Test for hypothesis testing. Results showed that the average cognitive score before the intervention in the treatment group 1 was 5.58, and after the intervention, it was 7.77, with a p-value 0.000 (<0.05). The mean balance score before intervention in treatment group 2 was 5.54, and after the intervention, it was 7.08, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) 0.000 (<0.05). The mean difference in treatment group 1 was 0.04, and in treatment group 2, it was 0.69, with a p-value of 0.111 (>0.05). Low-impact aerobic exercise significantly improves cognitive function in the elderly. However, the addition of brain vitalization exercises did not provide a statistically significant additional benefit. This type of exercise is still recommended as a regular activity to support cognitive health in older adults.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by elevated total cholesterol levels above 200 mg/dL, which serves as a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Efforts to control cholesterol levels can be achieved through the consumption of functional foods high in fiber, one of which is steamed cake made with okra flour substitution. This product contains 5.34 grams of fiber per 100 grams, thereby meeting the claim as a fiber source. This study aims to analyze the effect of okra cake administration on total cholesterol and LDL levels in male Wistar rats with a hypercholesterolemia model. The study design used was a true experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. A total of 18 rats were divided into three groups: negative control (K-), positive control (K+), and treatment (P), each consisting of six rats. Hypercholesterolemia induction was performed for 21 days using a high-fat diet (HFD). The treatment group was then given okra cake at a dose of 8.4 g/rat/day for 14 days. The results showed that total cholesterol levels in the treatment group decreased significantly (p=0.018), while in the positive control group, there was a significant increase (p=0.000). For LDL levels, no significant differences were found in each group before and after treatment (p>0.05), but there were significant differences between the K+ and P groups (p=0.027), as well as significant differences in cholesterol levels between the K+ and P groups (p=0.016). Conclusion: Steamed cake with okra flour substitution has the potential to significantly reduce total cholesterol and LDL levels in hypercholesterolemia rats.

Abstract

Adolescent-parent communication about reproductive health is still considered taboo. This view prevents students from telling their parents about their health problems. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between factors related to adolescent-parent communication about reproductive health. This research method is analytically observational with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents involved were students of classes VII and VIII, totaling 117 people. The results showed no relationship between gender (p-value= 0.182, OR (95%CI)= 0.846-3.686), information access (p-value= 0.561, OR (95%CI)= 0.603-3.314), gender compatibility (p-value= 0.302, OR (95%CI)= 0.707-5.020), and parental credibility (p-value= 0.100, OR (95%CI)= 0.950-4.370) with adolescent-parent communication about reproductive health. Adolescent-parent communication about reproductive health, which is low and high, has almost the same percentage—of recommendations to parents to improve communication with adolescents regarding reproductive health further. The school also needs to add reproductive health education activities.

Abstract

Tuberculosis or also known as TB is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in which the bacterium can not only attack the lungs but also attack other organs such as carbuncles, skin, meningitis, lymph nodes, intestines and other people. The transmission originates when the patient sneezes or coughs so that the germs spread through the air in the form of sputum. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the incidence of tuberculosis in the work area of the Bengkulu Pasar Ikan Market Health Center. This type of research is quantitative with a cross sectional approach. The research was conducted at the Fish Market Health Center in Bengkulu City from November 25 to December 24, 2022. The research sample was taken from a total of 64 people using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out by univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test with α = 0.05. The results of the study showed that there was an influence between age, knowledge, attitudes, gender, smoking habits, ventilation, occupancy density, humidity and lighting related to the incidence of tuberculosis.

Abstract

The duration of labour is influenced by 3 main factors, namely power, passage, passanger. Control of these factors is thought to be able to influence the duration of labor so as to minimize the incidence of complications caused by prolonged labour.  Maternal nutritional status, one of which is the weight gain during pregnancy, allegedly affects power and passanger as factors that play an important role in labour. This study aims to determine the effect of maternal weight gain during pregnancy on uterine contractions and fetal weight at Srikandi IBI Public Hospital, Jember, East Java. This research is an observational analytic study, a cross-sectional approach with sample size of 92 mothers giving birth at Srikandi General Hospital in Jember. Collected data was analyzed by inferential analysis using path analysis. It was found that the maternal weight gain during pregnancy had a significant effect on the fetal weight (t-value 3.77 with an estimated value of 0.37), but did not affect uterine contractions either in frequency (t-value 1.62) or duration (t -value 0.69). So it can be concluded that the greater maternal weight gain during pregnancy, the greater the fetal weight. Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that health workers will provide assistance so that pregnant women pay attention to increasing body weight during pregnancy based on BMI, so that there are no labor complications due to passanger factors.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy carries the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and fetus malformations and can impose additional costs on society and families. The prevalence of anemia would be the best indicator to monitor pregnant women’s health and prevent pregnancy complications. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted pregnant women. The prevalence of anemia in pregnancy increased from 38.33% in 2019 to 49.21% in 2020.  In the COVID-19 pandemic situation with social activity restrictions, decreasing family income, and limited access to health services, suffering from COVID-19 are risk factors for increasing the incidence of anemia in pregnancy. This study aimed to determine factors affecting the incidence of anemia in pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic in Karangrejo District, Magetan Regency. This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional study design. The sample was selected by purposive sampling with a sample size of 52 study subjects. Data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis with SPSS. Factors that increased the incidence of anemia in pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic were pregnancy interval (OR=17.67; CI 95%= 1.01 to 116.00; p=0.049),  gestational age (OR=11.39; CI 95% 1.12-116.00; p= 0,040), animal protein intake  (OR= 0.25; CI 95% 0.03 – 2.38; p= 0,044), iron supplementation (OR= 108.47; CI 95% 2.36 – 4978.68; p= 0,016), consumption of tea (OR=36,89; CI95% 1.57 to 868.41; p=0.025). Mothers’ education,  family income, parity, frequency of ANC visits, and COVID-19 morbidity do not significantly affect the incidence of anemia in pregnancy. There were effects of pregnancy interval, gestational age, animal protein intake, iron supplementation, and consumption of tea on the incidence of anemia in pregnancy during the COVID-19 in Karangrejo District, Magetan Regency.  Keywords: anemia;pregnancy;COVID-19

Abstract

Introduction: Uric acid the end product of purine catabolism in the human body. The cause of increased uric acid levels is influenced by various factors including alcohol, genetics, hypothyroidism, obesity, and a diet high in purines. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by increased blood sugar, which is caused by an imbalance between blood supply and the need to increase glucose into cells to make it available for cell metabolism and growth. The decrease or absence of insulin makes glucose stuck in the blood and causes blood sugar to increase, while cells lack glucose which is needed for cell survival and function. Objective: To determine the relationship between blood uric acid and fasting blood sugar levels in the Academic Community of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic. Methods: The design of this study was observational with a cross sectional design. This research was conducted on May 8-19, 2023. Sampling in this research will be conducted at the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic. Data collection techniques use secondary data. The data collected was then processed and analyzed using Univariate analysis to find out the average frequency distribution of each variable and a data normality test was performed between uric acid levels and fasting blood sugar levels, and bivariate analysis using the Pearson correlation test. Results: There was no significant relationship between uric acid levels and fasting blood sugar levels in the Academic Community of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic in 2022 (p=-0.051). There is no relationship between uric acid levels in men and women with fasting blood sugar levels of the Academic Community at the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic in 2022 (p=0.872) and (p=0.470). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between uric acid levels and fasting blood sugar levels in the Academic Community of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Poltekkes in 2022.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a condition in which progressive and irreversible kidney function disorders occur that the body fails to maintain metabolism, fluid, and electrolyte balance. Excess fluids and electrolytes in the body can cause circulation overload and edema. Edema not handled properly can cause complications in various body systems. Treatment that can be to reduce edema can be pharmacology and non-pharmacological. One of the non-pharmacological methods is ankle pumping exercise therapy with a combination of 30˚ leg elevation. To find the effectiveness of giving ankle pumping exercise therapy with a combination of 30° leg elevation to reduce the degree of edema in chronic kidney disease patients. This study used a randomized controlled trial (RCT) research design with a pre-posttest design with a control group. The number of samples is 58. Sampling uses probability sampling with a simple random sampling technique. The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test in the control group obtained significant results of 0.083 (p-value> 0.05), and the intervention group obtained significant results of 0.000 (p-value <0.05). The Mann-Whitney test found a difference between the two groups with a significance result of 0.000 (p-value <0.05). Ankle pumping exercise therapy with a combination of 30° leg elevation effectively reduces the degree of edema in chronic kidney disease patients.
