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: As efforts to eliminate measles advance, it becomes essential to enhance the sensitivity of surveillance systems. This involves identifying and thoroughly investigating all cases presented with fever and rash. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of measles surveillance systems in Africa, focusing on epidemiological trends, vaccination coverage, and laboratory performance. Methodology: A comprehensive search strategy was employed across five databases, PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar—to identify peer-reviewed studies published between 2014 and 2024. From an initial pool of 124 articles, eight met the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised using both quantitative and qualitative tools. Result: The findings highlight several systemic challenges, including the sub-optimal performance of measles surveillance systems, gaps in immunization coverage, and significant regional disparities in disease burden. Common deficiencies include inadequate case reporting, limited laboratory capacity, and insufficient training of frontline health workers. Moreover, low vaccine uptake, especially for the second dose (MCV2)—was attributed to supply chain issues, vaccine hesitancy, and geographic barriers. Conclusion: The review underscores the urgent need for improved laboratory infrastructure, expanded training, community engagement, and equitable access to immunization services. Strengthening these areas is critical to enhancing measles surveillance and achieving elimination goals across the continent. Keyword: Measles, surveillance systems. Laboratory performance, immunization.

Abstract

Background: Farmers are informal sector workers exposed to multiple health risks due to the unsafe use or storage of pesticides. Farmer are at high risk of pesticide poisoning, which can affect their metabolic disorders. This review aims to systematically examine the impact of pesticide exposure on health disorders in farmers’  metabolic systems. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review using the PICO model. The keywords used for the search for the study were “Impact” and “Pesticide” AND “Exposure” AND “Farmers’” AND “Meta­bolism System” in various databases. The inclusion criteria in this study were studies discussing varia­bles, research articles, and articles published from 2021 onwards, while the exclusion criteria were articles that do not have access or are not full-text. Data were collected using the extraction form, which includes PICO, and assessed using the PRISMA diagram. Data analysis was done descriptively by comparing the research results. Results: The study found that pesticide exposure can affect the metabolic system, potentially damaging cells and causing oxidative stress by damaging lipids, proteins, and DNA, leading to genetic mutations and cell degeneration. The impact of exposure to glyphosate and arsenic pesticides causes liver and kidney function damage and decreased cardiovascular health. Exposure to paraquat, glyphosate, and oxyfluorophene causes Thyroid Cancer. Exposure to organophosphate and organo­chlorine pesticides causes Parkinson’s. Insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides cause sleep disorders. In addition, herbicide pesticides have a significant relationship with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: Based on research findings, pesticide exposure impacts farmers’ metabolic systems, including the incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease, decline in cardiovascular health, Thyroid Cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, Sleep Disorders, and Type 2 Diabetes.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hookworm infection is a serious public health concern globally. Java Island and Kalimantan Island have differential environmental risk factors of hookworm infection, espe­cial­ly in rural areas of Indonesia, which have high-risk environmental factors for the prevalence of hook­worm infection. This study aimed to investigate the infection rates and correlation between environmental risk factors and the prevalence of hookworm infection. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 226 school children from rural East Java province, Central Java Province, and East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. A simple random sampling method was applied to select participants from each school area. This study used two diagnostic methods: Kato Katz and Koga agar plate culture/KAP culture for diagnosing hookworm infections. Environmental variables examined included soil texture, organic carbon content, clay content, soil pH, rainfall volume, number of rainy days, humidity, temperature, elevation, vegetation type, and pet infection status. Pearson's chi-square analysis was used to study the correlation between environmental factors and hookworm infection. Results: Hookworm, Strongyloides sp, and Ascaris sp infections were found in this study; 137 (60.63%), 25 (11.1%), and 124 (9.84%), respectively. Environmental risk factors such as rainy season, quality of soil, and infection with hookworm in pets have a significant correlation (p<0.050) with hookworm infection among schoolchildren in a rural area in Indonesia. Conclusion: The prevalence of hookworm infection correlates with environmental factors, and the findings in this research could contribute to decreasing the prevalence of hookworm infection, espe­cially among schoolchildren in rural areas.

Abstract

Background: Stunting among children aged 1–2 years remains a critical public health concern in Indonesia, particularly during the vital 1,000-day window of child development. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between macronutrient intake and stunting using a mixed-methods approach. Subjects and Method: This was a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study conducted from February 2024 to May 2025 at Community Health Center Dadok Tunggul Hitam, Padang City. The quantitative component employed a case-control design involving 66 children aged 1–2 years, divided equally into stunted (cases) and non-stunted (controls) groups. Sampling was conducted purposively for cases and by simple matching for controls. The independent variables were intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; the dependent variable was stunting, defined using WHO growth standards. Macronutrient intake was assessed via a 24-hour recall. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests to determine associations, and Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were reported. The qualitative phase included interviews with mothers, health workers, and community volunteers, analyzed thematically using NVivo 12. Results: Children with inadequate carbohydrate intake were significantly more likely to be stunted (OR=3.50; 95% CI=1.27 to 9.64; p=0.015). No statistically significant associations were found for protein intake (OR=2.60; 95% CI=0.91 to 7.44; p=0.074) or fat intake (OR=2.44; 95% CI=0.89 to 6.70; p=0.082). Qualitative findings revealed barriers such as loss of appetite during illness, preference for snacks, food aversions, and limited maternal knowledge and resources, all of which contributed to inadequate macronutrient intake. Conclusion: Inadequate carbohydrate intake was significantly associated with stunting in children aged 1–2 years. Contextual factors such as eating behavior and parental feeding practices further influenced nutritional outcomes. Interventions should address both dietary intake and behavioral barriers within families.
