Background: Increased blood pressure for a long time can increase the risk of kidney failure, co­ronary heart disease, brain damage, and other di­seases. In 2019, it is estimated that hyper­tens­ion is experienced by 1.13 billion people in the world with most (two thirds) living in low and mid­­dle income countries. Other study also shows that the police and military are at risk of develop­ing hypertension due to a number of factors such as low know­led­ge about healthy and nutritious food, co-workers who are smokers, and consum­ing alco­hol. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in the police and military in the world using meta analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-ana­lysis and systematic review. The articles used we­re obtained from Google Scholar, Springer Link, Pro­­Quest, and Science Direct databases. Selected arti­cles published from 2000 to 2020. Keywords to search for articles are as follows: hypertension po­lice personnel and military, or hypertension po­lice personnel and military. The articles studi­ed are 3 full text articles with cross sectional stu­dy designs and 1 full text articles with case cont­rol study design. Articles are col­lect­ed using PRI­S­­­MA diagrams, and analy­zed us­ing the Re­vi­ew Ma­nager application 5.3. Results: Overweight (aOR= 1.42; 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.00; p= 0.04), alcohol consumption (aOR­=­ 1.­55; 95% CI= 1.12 to 2.12; p= 0.007), ciga­rette con­­­­sumption (aOR= 1.45 ; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.97; p= 0.020) is a risk factor for hyper­­­tension in the po­­­lice and military. Conclusion: Overweight, alcohol consump­tion, and cigarette consump­tion, are risk fac­tors for hypertension in po­lice and military personnel.

Abstract

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. DHF is an endemic disease in more than 100 countries. There were 728 cases of DHF and 8 cases of death in Grobogan, Central Java, in 2017. The purpose of this study was to examine the contextual effect of the village on the incidence of DHF.Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study conducted in Grobogan, Central Java, from November to December 2018. A sample of 200 study subjects was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was DHF. The independent variables were the presence of water shelter, ponds, farmland, mosquito larvae, hanging clothes, house density, eradication of mosquito nest, education, and employment. The data were collected by questionnaire and observation. The data were analyzed by a multilevel logistic regression.Results: Existence of water shelter (b= 4.53; 95% CI= 1.29 to 7.76; p= 0.006), ponds (b= 2.71; 95% CI= 0.26 to 5.17; p= 0.030), farm land (b = 3.40; 95% CI = 0.52 to 6.28; p= 0.021), mosquito larvae (b= 3.45; 95% CI= 0.61 to 6.29; p= 0.017), hanging clothes (b= 2.39; 95% CI= 0.23 to 4.56; p= 0.030), and house density (b= 5.55; 95% CI= 1.59 to 9.51; p= 0.006), increased the risk of DHF.  Education ≥senior high school (b= -4.79; 95% CI= -8.44 to -1.13; p= 0.010), employed (b= - 5.36; 95% CI= -9.22 to -1.49; p= 0.006), and exposed to DHF mosquito nest eradication program (b= -4.31; 95% CI= -7.64 to -0.97; p= 0.011) decreased the risk of DHF. Village environment had strong contextual effect on DHF with ICC= 51.33%.Conclusion: Existence of water shelter, ponds, farmland, mosquito larvae, hanging clothes, and house density, increase the risk of DHF.  Education ≥senior high school, employed and exposed to DHF mosquito nest eradication program decrease the risk of DHF. Village environment has a strong contextual effect on DHF.Keywords: dengue hemorrhagic fever, environmental factors, eradication of mosquito nests, village strata, multilevel analysisCorrespondence: Ambar Sari.

Abstract

Background: Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism. Purines (adenine and guanine) are nucleic acid contituents. Purine rotation occurs continuously in the body along with the synthesis and decomposition of DNA and RNA, although there is no intake of purine, a substantial amount of uric acid will still be formed. Uric acid is synthesized mainly in the liver by the xanthine oxidase enzyme. This study aimed to examine the correlation of age with uric acid.Subjects and method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Gambirsari Health Center, Kadipiro Village, Mojosongo, Surakarta, Central Java. A sample of 50 gout patients was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was uric acid. The independent variable was age. The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation.Results: There was a correlation between age and uric acid (r= 0.37; p= 0.009).Conclusion: There is a correlation between age and uric acid.Keywords: gout, age, uric acidCorrespondence: Yeti Nurhayati.

Abstract

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is one of the important public health problems in the world which causes death of more than 35 million people annually. HIV infection is often associated with several comorbidities caused by the presence of endemic infectious diseases in certain regions, one of them is malaria. Analyzing the survival of HIV / AIDS patients malaria coinfection is based on risk factors for recurrence and death due to malaria. This study aimed to examine the determinants of recurrence and death in HIV-malaria co-infection patients in Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia.Subjects and Method: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in the VCT room at Dok II Regional General Hospital, Jayapura, Papua Province, Indonesia, from May to June 2018. A sample of 183 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was recurrence. The independent variables were drug taking adherence, nutritional status, economic status, use of mosquito nets, spraying residues in the house, healthy hygiene behavior, co-infection with malaria. The data were obtained from medical record. The other data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed using path analysis.Results: The risk of recurrence in PLWH co-infected with malaria decreased with ARV treatment adherence (b= -2.17; 95% CI= -3.24 to -1.09; p<0.001) and compliance with Cotrimoxazole treatment (> 95 %) (b= -1.88; 95% CI= -2.58 to -1.19; p<0.001). The risk of recurrence in PLWHA co-infected with malaria increased with low income <Rp 2,000,000 (b= 3.06; 95% CI= 2.04 to 4.07; p <0.001), poor health behavior (mean <5) (b= 1.66;  95% CI= 0.92 to 2.40; p<0.001), poor nutritional status (b= 2.10; 95% CI= 1.44 to 2.76; p<0.001), and did not use bed nets (b= 0.73; 95% CI= 0.16 to 1.29; p= 0.011). The risk of death in PLWHA coinfected with malaria decreased with ARV treatment adherence (> 95%) (b= -2.08; 95% CI= -3.02 to -1.14; p<0.001) and healthy behavior (mean> 5) (b= -1.43; 95% CI= -2.15 to -0.70; p<0.001). The risk of death in PLWHA co-infected with malaria increased with low income (<Rp 2,000,000) (b = 3.06; 95% CI= 2.04 to 4.07; p <0.001), poor health behavior (mean <5) (b= 1.66; 95% CI= 0.92 to 2.40; p <0.001), and poor nutritional status (b = 2.10; 95% CI= 1.44 to 2.76; p <0.001).Conclusions: The risk of recurrence in PLWHA co-infected with malaria increases with low income, poor health behavior, and poor nutritional status, but decreases with adherence to ARV treatment and Cotrimoxazole treatment. The risk of death of PLWHA coinfected with malaria increases with low income, poor health behavior, and poor nutritional status, but decreases with adherence to ARV treatment.Keywords: recurrence, co-infection, HIV/AIDS, malaria, death, path analysis, people with HIV/AIDSCorrespondence: Dian Winiarti.

Abstract

Background: Drug treatment compliance was the behavior of patients to take medication and undergo treatment according to the rules determined by professional health personnels. Many factors influenced the compliance with treatment for tuberculosis patients. This study aimed to examine determinants of drug treatment compliance among tuberculosis patients.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at 16 community health centers in Kaur Regency, Bengkulu, Indonesia, from January to February 2019. A sample of 206 study subjects was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was drug treatment adherence. The indepen­dent variables were age, gender, education, income, knowledge, role of drug taking supervisor, side effect of drug treatment, distance to health service, drug availability, family support, and tenure. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Adherence to anti tuberculosis treatment was directly and positively affected by age (b= 2.96; CI 95%= 1.12 to 4.79; p= 0.002), gender (b= 1.48; CI 95%= 0.02 to 2.95; p= 0.047), education (b= 2.18; CI 95%= 0.24 to 4.11; p= 0.027), income (b= 0.85; CI 95%= 0.76 to 2.45; p= 0.031), knowledge (b= 2.27; CI 95%= 0.32 to 4.22; p= 0.023), the role of drug taking supervisor (b= 3.46; CI 95%= 1.57 to 5.36; p<0.001), drug availability (b= 0.04; CI 95%= -6.07 to 6.16; p= 0.989), and family support (b= 2.97; CI 95%= 1.30 to 4.64; p<0.001). It was negatively affected by the side effects of the drug (b= -3.07; CI 95%= -4.90 to -1.24; p= 0.001), distance to health service (b= -1.86; CI 95%= -3.61 to -0.11; p= 0.037), and tenure (b= -2.16; CI 95%= -3.95 to -0.38; p= 0.017). Adherence to anti tuberculosis treatment was indirectly affected by income, knowledge, and role of drug treatment supervisor.Conclusion: Adherence to anti tuberculosis treatment is directly and positively affected by age, gender, education, income, knowledge, the role of drug taking supervisor, drug availability, and family support. It is negatively affected by the side effects of the drug, distance to health service, and tenure.Keywords : treatment adherence, tuberculosis, determinants, path analysisCorrespondence: Surahman Hamidi.

It was conducted at 15 sub-districts in Bontang, East Kalimantan, from February to April 2019. A sample of 225 children was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was stunting. The independent variables were exclusive breastfeeding, history of infection, low birth weight (LBW), economic status, maternal education, maternal height, basic sanitation, and Community Based Total Sanitation (CBTS) urban village status. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multilevel multiple logistic regression.Results: The risk of stunting decreased with maternal height ≥150 cm (b = -1.37; 95% CI= -2.41 to -0.32; p = 0.010), maternal education ≥senior high school (b = -1.83; 95 % CI= -2.79 to -0.87; p<0.001), exclusive breastfeeding (b= -1.67; 95% CI= -3.28 to -0.06; p= 0.042), and high economic status (b= -1.33; 95% CI= -2.23 to -0.41; p= 0.004). It was increased with number of family members >4 (b= 1.32; 95% CI= 0.41 to 2.22; p= 0.004), history of infectious disease (b= 2.23; 95% CI= 1.32 to 3.14; p<0.001), poor environmental sanitation (b= 1.83; 95% CI= 0.64 to 3.02; p= 0.003), and LBW (b= 1.30; 95% CI= 0.04 to 2.56; p= 0.043). Subdistricts had neglected contextual effect on the incidence of stunting with ICC <1%.Conclusion: The risk of stunting decreases with maternal height ≥150 cm, maternal education ≥senior high school, exclusive breastfeeding, and high economic status. It is increased with number of family members >4, history of infectious disease, poor environmental sanitation, and LBW. Subdistricts has neglected contextual effect on the incidence of stunting.Keywords: stunting,exclusive breastfeeding, multilevel analysisCorrespondence: Joko Sugiyanto.
