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: Students during the Covid-19 pandemic were very close to a sedentary lifestyle because of online learning patterns. This results in an increase in body mass index (BMI) due to lack of physical activity and energy burnt. The aim of this research was to find out the relationship between sedentary lifestyle and body mass index of female students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Subjects dan Method: The research method uses a quantitative analytic observational design, with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were 110 students of the Midwifery Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Sebelas Maret University. Sampling using the Slovin formula as many as 85 respondents with a confidence level of 95%. The research dependent variable is the body mass index of female students during the Covid-19 pandemic and the independent variable is sedentary lifestyle. The data collection method is to use the BMI questionnaire and the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ). Data analysis used Somer's test. Results: The results showed that 61.2% of students were included in the less sedentary lifestyle classification, while 56.5% of students had a normal body mass index. The results of bivariate analysis with Somer's correlation test obtained a p-value of 0.045 and a gamma coefficient value of 0.38. Conclusion: The conclusion is that there is a relationship between sedentary lifestyle and body mass index in undergraduate students of Applied Midwifery, Faculty of Medicine, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. The correlation strength is moderate. It is hoped that individuals and communities can motivate themselves to carry out physical activities such as regular sports and educational institutions can facilitate learning methods that can involve physical activity in both online and offline learning.

Abstract

Background: Children who are stunted have a higher risk of experiencing health and brain development disorders, and have a lower likelihood of achievement and a bright future. Spirulina is one of the food sources enriched with nutrients that affect the nutritional status of children. The study aims to discover the effect of the administration of Spirulina Neoalgae supplements on increasing the height and weight of stunting toddlers in Mranggen village. Subjects dan Method: The study used a quasi-experimental design conducted in Mranggen Village, Sukoharjo, Central Java. A total of 100 toddlers selected using total sampling were included in this study. The independent variable in this study was the intervention of Spirulina Neoalgae supplements and the dependent variables in this study were body weight and height. Toddlers were given supplement interventions for 4 weeks. The collected data were subsequently analyzed using the Paired-Test. Results: Before the intervention the average height was (Mean= 82.92; SD = 8.77) and body weight was (Mean= 9.97; SD= 2.09). After the supplement intervention for 2 weeks, the average height was (Mean= 83.56; SD = 8.61) and body weight was (Mean= 10.11; SD= 2.07). Average height (Mean= 84.56; SD= 8.57) and body weight (Mean= 11.04; SD = 2.10) in week four increased and the result was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: The administration of neoalgae supplements affects increasing height and weight in stunted children in Mranggen Village, Sukoharjo, Central Java.   Keywords: Supplements, Neoalgae, Nutritional Status, Height, Weight, Stunting

Abstract

Background: Vaccination has been adopted as a key public health strategy for combating the COVID-19 pandemic. The accelerated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines’ development had limited time for extensive investigation of the adverse events. The study aimed to assess the average adverse events rates in published COVID-19 vaccination studies. Subjects and Method: The study used systematic review and meta-analysis involving studies that reported adverse events following administration of any of the approved COVID-19 vaccines in humans. A highly specific search strategy was developed and implemented in PubMed. The core search string was “(COVID-19 OR COVID OR "coronavirus disease") AND vaccin* AND (side-effects OR "adverse events")”. Titles and abstracts were screened, and full texts of potentially relevant articles were retrieved. Data extracted included general study background, adverse events, and frequency of occurrence. Meta-analyses were conducted for adverse events reported by at least 5 studies. Meta-analysis of proportions was carried out using logit transformation with the generalized linear mixed model estimation method. Results: A total of 108 adverse events were reported in 15 studies observing 735,515 participants from 10 countries. The highest pooled prevalence rates were pain at injection site (67.2%; 95% CI= 46.49 to 82.86; I2= 99.9%, 11 studies, 670,557 participants), weakness/fatigue (41.88%; 95% CI= 26.82 to 58.61, I2= 99.9%, 13 studies, 671,045 participants), muscle/joint pain (28.95%; 95% CI= 16.95 to 44.86, I2= 99.9%, 13 studies, 672,791 participants), and headache (27.78%; 95% CI= 17.59 to 40.95, I2= 99.9%, 14 studies, 672,883 participants). Four cases of death were reported by two papers enrolling 711 patients with cancer or multiple sclerosis, three due to comorbid disease progression, and one case due to COVID-19. Forty-three cases of anaphylaxis were reported in three studies enrolling 68,218 participants. Conclusion: The most prevalent adverse events among recipient of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were local and general systemic reactions.

Abstract

Background: Managing abortion-related complications remains a health concern despite the insertion of postabortion care into Benin's family health service guidelines and protocols, not with standing that abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy has been legalized in Benin. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with poor quality of postabortion care in the Ouidah-Kpomassè-Tori-Bossito district hospital in 2022. Subjects dan Method: This was a cross-sectional, analytical study carried out from March 21 to April 8, 2022. Records of all patients admitted for abortion at Ouidah-Kpomassè-Tori-Bossito district hospital from January 1, 2021, to April 8, 2022, were reviewed, as well as the providers involved in postabortion care and administrative staff, chosen through a reasoned choice. The dependent variable was the quality of postabortion care, defined by the six components: interview, physical examination, complementary examination, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up; according to the Benin postabortion care guidelines. Independent variables were provider features, patient features, and abortion features. Information collected through literature review and questionnaire survey was analyzed using STATA 15 software. Associated factors were then identified by bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression at 5% threshold. Results: A total of 130 records of women admitted for abortion were evaluated. The mean age was (Mean= 27.56; SD= 7.33). Postabortion care was poor in 39.23% and good in 60.77% of the patients. Factors associated with this poor quality of postabortion care were religion (p= 0.021), abortion history (p= 0.012), miscarriage history (p= 0.026) and abortion type (p= 0.007). Conclusion: Addressing these factors will help ensure a better quality of postabortion care in order to support legalized abortion and significantly reduce maternal mortality related to abortion in Benin.

Abstract

Background: Zimbabwe’s Index Testing programme has failed to achieve targets since its inception in 2017. We determined the index testing implementation modalities to identify and recommend effective contact elicitation, tracking and testing modalities to enhance positivity yield.Subjects dan Method: This study conducted a cross-sectional study on 50 multistage selected health facilities. Dependent variables were all clients, (≥15 years) diagnosed with HIV in 2021, whilst independent variables were contact tracking. The study instrument of variable measure was cascade analysis to identify tracing modalities against yield. Quantitative data were summarized as proportions, odds ratios, and adjusted odds ratios at a 5% significance level.Results: Of 6,308 index cases identified, females constituted 53.9% (n=3,401 and 67.6% (n=4,265) were retests. Index testing was offered to 66.4% (n=4,190), accepted by 93.1% (n=3,899) and the elicitation rate was 1:1.3 (n=5,080). A positivity yield of 27.5% (n=1,736) was achieved from 78.6% (n= 3,991) contacts. Mixed method tracking yielded 46.7% (n=349) positivity from a testing rate of 99.5% (n=748) in an urban setup, with 41.4% (n=1,243) preferring health worker referrals. As high as 202 contacts were not tested following elicitation through client referrals. In a rural setup, client referrals accounted for 53.1%, (n=1,103) yet 122 of these were not tested. The highest positivity yield was obtained from health worker referrals at 65.6% (n=196). Being male (aOR=3.09; 95%CI= 2.74 to 3.49), first tester (aOR=1.65; 95%CI= 1.43 to 1.91), anonymous tracking (aOR=8.46; 95%CI:3.37 to 22.75) and testing contacts within 7 days of elicitation (aOR=2.78; 95%CI=2.44 to 3.18) were identified as high predictors of positivity yield among index contacts.Conclusion: The identified high positivity yield among men, first-time testers and contacts tested within 7 days of elicitation may inform index testing focussing to improve program performance. Implementation fidelity and differentiated contact referrals were recommended to mitigate attritions at each stage of the index cascade to yield the best results on index contact tracing and testing.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is an infectious disease that can cause death in children under five years. Diarrheal disease is a disease with the highest mortality and morbidity after pneumonia. The purpose of this study was to analyze and estimate the effect of rotavirus vaccine, exclusive breastfeeding, and mother's education level on the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers, with a meta-analysis based on previously conducted primary studies. Subjects and Method: This article was prepared using a systematic review and meta-analytic study. This research was conducted using the PICO model. Meta-analytic studies were conducted by searching for articles from databases in electronic form using PubMed, Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, and Springer Link. Article searches were conducted from 1-28 February 2023. The keywords used were “Vacinnation” OR “Exclusive breastfeeding” OR “Educational Mother” OR “Infection” OR “Diarrhea Childhood”. The inclusion criteria for this study were complete articles using cross-sectional research, published years from 2013-2022. Analysis of the articles used RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 24 cross-sectional studies from Africa and Asia were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that not given rotavirus vaccine had a 3.60 times the risk of experiencing diarrhea compared to those given rotavirus vaccine (aOR= 3.60; 95% CI= 2.31 to 5.64; p<0.001), not given exclusive breastfeeding had a risk of experiencing diarrhea 3.28 times compared with those who were given exclusive breastfeeding (aOR= 3.28; 95% CI= 2.24 to 4.80; p<0.001), and children who had mothers with low education levels had a 2.08 times higher risk of experiencing diarrhea compared to children who had mothers with low education levels which is higher (aOR= 2.08; 95% CI= 1.71 to 2.54; p<0.001). Conclusion: Not being given the rotavirus vaccine, not being given exclusive breastfeeding, and the mother's low education level are at risk of increasing the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus increases the risk of a number of short-term and long-term health problems in both mother and baby. Some evidence states that one of the causes of gestational diabetes mellitus is vitamin D deficiency. This study aimed to estimate the magnitude of the influence of vitamin D deficiency on the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus, through a meta-analysis of previous primary studies. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: pregnant women, intervention: vitamin D deficiency, comparison: no vitamin D deficiency, outcome: gestational diabetes mellitus. The articles used in this study were obtained from four databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Springer Link, using the search keys "Vitamin D Deficiency"[Mesh] OR “Vitamin D Deficiency”[tw] AND "Diabetes, Gestational" [Mesh] OR “Gestational Diabetes Mellitus”[tw] OR “Gestational Diabetes”[tw]. The included article is a full-text cohort study design from 2018 to 2022 and reports the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) in a multivariate analysis. The selection of articles is done using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: A total of 9 cohort studies involving 42,972 pregnant women from the continents of Asia, Australia and Europe were used in the meta-analysis. Pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency had a risk of gestational diabetes mellitus 1.87 times compared to those without vitamin D deficiency (aOR= 1.87; 95% CI= 1.27 to 2.75; p= 0.002). Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Nutrition is a requirement for every toddler. Inadequate nutritional intake will cause stunting problems. Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children where toddlers are shorter in age. This study aims to examine the effect of the number of family members, mother's education and family income on stunting by using meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. Population was infants aged 6-59 months. Intervention: high number of family members, high mother's education, high family income. Comparison: low number of family members, low mother's education and low family income. Outcome: stunting. The online databases used are PubMed, Google Scholar, springerlink, and Science Direct with the keywords Stunting AND (“Family Size OR “Household Size”) AND (“Maternal Education” OR “Mother's Education”) AND “Wealth Status” OR “Household income”) AND “Cross sectional” AND aOR. There were 13 published cross-sectional studies from 2016-2022 that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Results: A meta-analysis was carried out on 13 articles with a cross-sectional study design originating from Ethiopia, Nigeria and Zambia and involving 63,888 aged 6-59 months. The results of the meta-analysis show that toddlers with a high number of family members have a risk of stunting 1.43 times compared to a low number of family members (aOR = 1.43; 95% CI = 1.17 to 1.75; p<0.001), toddlers with low maternal education can reduce stunting 0.65 times compared to mothers with high education (aOR= 0.65; 95% CI= 0.48 to 0.88; p= 0.005) and toddlers with low family income can reduce the risk of stunting 0.53 times compared to high family income (aOR= 0.53; 95% CI= 0.47 to 0.59; p<0.001). Conclusion: Toddlers with a high number of family members can increase the risk of stunting while high maternal education and low family income can reduce the risk of stunting.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is still one of the problems in Indonesia. The obesity problem has grown into an epidemic, with more than 4 million people dying each year. Factors causing obesity such as lifestyle, lack of physical activity, poor diet habits, low family income, sleep duration, and others. This study aims to estimate the effect of sleep duration, exercise, and family income on obesity in children. Subjects and Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using PRISMA guidelines and the PICO model. Population= children of 2-18 years. Intervention= short sleep duration, exercise, and high family income. Comparison= long sleep duration, no exercise, and low family income. Outcome= Obesity. Articles were collected from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and ResearchGate. The literature search used the keywords “family income" AND “exercise” AND "sleep duration" AND “obesity” AND “children” AND "cross-sectional". A total of 19 articles met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis, and subsequently were assessed using RevMan 5.4. Results: A meta-analysis of studies from Japan, Korea, Ethiopia, China, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Ghana showed that children with short sleep duration (aOR= 1.83; CI 95%= 1.22 to 2.73; p= o.003), children with high family income (aOR= 1.18; CI 95%= 1.03 to 1.36; p= 0.020) could increase the incidence of obesity, and those results were statistically significant. Exercise can reduce the incidence of obesity in children, but this risk of reduction was not statistically significant (aOR= 0.80; CI 95%= 0.59 to 1.09; p= 0.15o). Conclusion: Short sleep duration and high family income increase the incidence of obesity in children, and these results are statistically significant. Exercise decreases the incidence of obesity in children, but the risk of decline is not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: Malaria infection is a global public health problem that causes major morbidity worldwide. Stagnant water is one of the risk factors for malaria, insecticide-treated nets are one of the interventions that can prevent malaria. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of using insecticide-treated nets and stagnant water around the house on the risk of malaria. Subjects and Method: This study was conducted using a systematic review and meta-analysis with PICO, Population: children. Intervention: insecticide-treated mosquito nets and stagnant water. Comparison: without insecticide-treated nets and no stagnant water. Result: incidence of malaria. By searching for articles in 3 databases namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct published from 2016 to 2023, by entering the following keywords insecticide-treated bed nets” OR “ITN” AND “stagnant water” OR “STAGNA” AND “Malaria” AND “Cross-sectional” AND “Multivariate Analysis”. Articles were selected using the PRISMA flow and data analysis using the Review Manager 5.3. Results: There are 13 articles using a cross-sectional study design with a total sample of 5,793 children from Indonesia, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Ethiopia which have gone through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Processed data showed that children who used insecticide-treated nets had a 0.65 times lower chance of contracting malaria compared to those who did not use insecticide-treated nets (aOR= 0.65; 95% CI= 0.41 to 1.01; p= 0.060). Children who live in an environment where there is stagnant water have a 4.10 times chance of getting malaria compared to children who live in an environment where there is no stagnant water and this is statistically significant (aOR= 4.10; 95% CI= 2.80 to 6.03; p <0.001). Conclusion: Insecticidal mosquito nets reduced the incidence of malaria, and stagnant water increased the incidence of malaria.
