Core Subject : Health,
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: Lung cancer is a cancer whose incidence increases every year and is the number one cancer cause of death in the world. One of the causes of lung cancer comes from occupational exposure in the form of asbestos dust and silica. This study aims to analyze the effect of exposure to asbestos and silica dust on the incidence of lung cancer in the working community.Subjects and Method: This study is a meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: working society. Intervention: exposure to asbestos dust and silica dust. Comparison: not exposed to asbestos dust and silica dust. Result: lung cancer. The articles used in this study were obtained from three databases, namely Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct. The keywords to search for articles were “dust exposure” OR “silica dust exposure” OR “asbestos dust exposure” OR “occupational dust exposure” AND “lung cancer”. The articles included are full-text English with a case-control study design from 2007 to 2022. The articles were selected using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: A total of 14 case-control studies from continental Europe, America and Asia were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. Based on 8 studies on the effect of exposure to asbestos dust on the incidence of lung cancer, the incidence of lung cancer increased 1.57 times compared to workers who were not exposed to asbestos dust (aOR= 1.57; 95% CI= 1.20 to 2.06; p= 0.001) and 9 case-control studies on the effect of exposure to silica dust showed an increase of 1.31 times the incidence of lung cancer compared to workers who were not exposed to silica dust (aOR = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.25 to 1.38; p<0.001).Conclusion: Exposure to asbestos and silica dust increases the incidence of lung cancer in workers. Keywords: asbestos, silica, occupational dust exposure, lung cancer. Correspondence:Aurina Firda Kusuma Wardani. Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Jl. Ir.

Abstract

Background: Depression is a mental disorder which if not treated can cause other diseases, including the individual's physical condition. One of the risks that occur due to recurrent depression is dementia. Dementia can reduce a person's ability to survive due to decreased brain function. This study was aimed to determine the effect of depression (depression) as a risk factor for dementia (dementia).Subjects and Method: This study was a meta-analysis, with a PICO covering Population= people with dementia. Intervention= depression. Comparison= without depression. Outcome= the risk of dementia. Research data was searched from several sources including: PubMed, Google Scholar, Springer Link, and Science Direct from 2011 until 2021 with the following keywords "dementia" AND "depression" OR "risk of dementia" AND “Hazard Ratio” AND "multivariate". The inclusion criteria used were full papers using English with a cohort study design from 2011-2021 by reporting the Adjusted Hazard Ratio (aHR) value. The selection of articles was carried out using the PRISMA flow diagram. Data processing using Review Manager software version 5.3 to determine the risk of depression variables on dementia.Results: A total of 11 cohort studies were selected for a systematic review and meta-analysis. The data collected showed that depression can increase patients of dementia 1.38 times compared to without depression (aHR= 1.38; 95% CI= 1.38 to 1.70; p=0.003).Conclusion: Depression increases the risk of developing dementia.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by infection with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is still a worldwide threat because of its high morbidity and mortality. This is influenced by the occurrence of hypertension, obesity, age and diabetes mellitus. However, currently there is still controversy in the results of research regarding the use of metformin in COVID-19 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). This study was aimed to analyze the effect of metformin in COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus on mortality rates.Subjects and Method: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO. P: COVID-19 patient with type-2 diabetes mellitus. I: administration of metformin therapy. C: therapy other than metformin and O: mortality. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases, namely PubMed, Science Direct, Proquest, SpringerLink, Google Scholar and Scopus. The article search keywords were: “COVID-19” OR “coronavirus” AND “diabetes” AND “metformin” AND “mortality.” Articles included are full-text English using a cohort study design from 2020 to 2021 and reporting the Odds Ratio in multivariate analysis. The selection of articles was carried out using the PRISMA flow chart. The articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: A total of 7 cohort studies involving 136,321 COVID-19 patients from the Americas (USA and Alabama United States), Europe (France and Spain), and Asia (China and South Korea) were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. The data collected showed that COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus who were given metformin reduced the risk of death by 0.90 times higher compared to COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus who were not given metformin therapy (aOR= 0.90; CI 95%= 0.68 to 1.19; p=0.450).Conclusion: Metformin can reduce the risk of death in COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus.
