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: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease which is a source of additional severity for other diseases. This study aims to determine the effect of tertiary preventive behavior on hba1c level, quality of life (QoL), and complication risk in diabetes mellitus patients.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Sukoharjo, Central Java, Indonesia, from October to November 2023. A total sample of 200 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), registered in the Prolanis program, was selected through multistage random sampling. The independent variables were HbA1c levels, risk of complications, and QoL. The inde-pendent variable was tertiary preventive behavior. HbA1c levels were measured using spectrophotometer. QoL was measured using the WHOQOL questionnaire, and risk of complications using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the SEM model.Results: Tertiary prevention behavior significantly increased HbA1c level (b= 0.31; CI 95%= -0.45 to 0.15; p<0.001) and quality of life (b= 0.15; 95% CI= -0.15 to 0.38; p<0.001). Tertiary prevention behavior significantly reduced the risk of complications (b= -0.22; CI 95%= -0.42 to 0.02; p= 0.026). The goodness-of-fit values suggest that the structural equation model (SEM) is acceptable (p= 0.188; RMSEA=0.04; CFI=0.97, TLI=0.95; SRMR=0.05; CD= 0.07).Conclusion: Tertiary prevention behavior significantly increased HbA1c level and quality of life. Tertiary prevention behavior reduces the risk of complications in type 2 DM patients. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, HbA1c, complications, quality of life

Abstract

Background: Food safety is a paramount concern in today's world, given its critical implications for public health. Contaminated food can lead to severe illnesses and outbreaks, affecting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Therefore, the study was conducted to assess the level of food safety awareness and attitude among adult women.Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the rural field practice area of PSG Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Coimbatore from December 2019 to May 2020. A total of 400 participants were selected using systematic random sampling. A pretested, validated study questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data analysis is done by the estimation of disease risk associated with exposure and calculating the p<0.050 proving the statistical association between exposure status and disease occurrence.Results: Half of them (50%) had adequate knowledge regarding food safety practices and 60% adequately practiced them. Washing hands after using the toilet was practiced by 80.8%. washing hands before eating food was practiced by 74.3%. Rat and fly menace were present in 20.5% and 23.3% respectively. Acute Diarrheal Disease was present in 19.3% of households. The presence of acute diarrhoeal disease (ADD) was found to be significantly higher in those who were not washing their hands after using the toilet, presence of flies and rats in the kitchen, and having inadequate knowledge and practices regarding food safety.Conclusion: Though half of the women demonstrated awareness of food safety principles, the study revealed that actual implementation of safe practices remains inadequate. The association of diarrheal diseases with poor handwashing habits, as well as the presence of pests in the kitchen, emphasizes the critical need for targeted interventions to address these issues

Abstract

Background: Motorcycle taxi drivers drive motorcycles with a static posture and there are significant deviations in angles of certain body joints that trigger susceptibility to movement system injuries, namely musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The study aimed to analyze the correlation between the determinants of MSDs, namely physical activity, work duration, and stress on the risk of MSDs incidents in online motorcycle taxi drivers in Surakarta.Subjects and Method: This observational analytical study with a cross-sectional study approach. A sample of 250 online motorcycle taxi drivers in Surakarta was selected using a cluster random sampling technique. The dependent variable of the study was MSDs. The independent variables of the study were physical activity, duration of work, and stress. The data collection technique was conducted through interviews by using questionnaire sheets with instruments i.e. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Work Stress Scale (WSS), and Nordic Body Map (NBP). Data analysis was carried out using a multivariate STATA application with multiple binary logistic regression.Results: The risk of MSDs in online motorcycle taxi drivers in Surakarta increased with the age of older than or equal to 34 years (OR= 2.66; CI 95%= 1.54 to 4.59; p= <0.001), BMI of more than 25 (OR= 1.33; CI 95%= 0.77 to 2.27; p= 0.303), work duration of more than 4 hours per day (OR= 2.43; CI 95%= 1.24 to 4.78; p= 0.010), high stress level (OR= 1.58; CI 95%= 0.89 to 2.83; p = 0.126), and status as an active smoker (OR= 1.27; CI 95%= 0.74 to 2.19; p= 0.378). The risk of MSDs in online motorcycle taxi drivers in Surakarta decreased with active physical activity (OR= 0.36; CI 95%= 0.15 to 0.86; p = 0.021). Age, BMI, physical activity, work duration, stress, and smoking status influenced the risk of MSDs by 8.2%, and the rest were influenced by other determinants.Conclusion: There is a statistically significant correlation between age, physical activity, and duration of work on the risk of MSDs, however, there was no significant correlation between BMI, stress, and smoking status on the risk of MSDs.

Abstract

Background: Measles is a disease that can be prevented by immunization (VPD), which is highly contagious and often causes widespread outbreaks and can cause lifelong complications and death. Some evidence suggests that the risk of measles is due to contact history and vaccine status. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the relationship between contact history and vaccine status with the incidence of measles in children, through a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors.Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis with PICO as follows, Population: children. Intervention: contact history, vaccine status. Comparison: no contact history, no vaccine. Outcome: measles. The articles used in this research were obtained from three databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, using the keys "History contact" AND "Vaccine" OR "Vaccinated" OR "Immunization" AND "Measles" AND "Children. The included articles were full-text with a case-control study design from 2012 to 2023 and reported the adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) in multivariate analysis. Article selection was carried out using the PRISMA flow diagram. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: A total of 8 case-control studies involving the African continent and the Asian continent were selected for meta-analysis. Children with a history of contact have an increased risk of developing measles 4.38 times compared with children without a history of contact, and this relationship is statistically significant (aOR=4.38; 95% CI=1.36 to 14.09; p= 0.010). Children who had been given the measles vaccine had a reduced risk of getting measles 0.30 times compared to children who had not been given the measles vaccine, and this result was statistically significant (aOR= 0.30; 95% CI= 0.22 to 0.40; p< 0.001).Conclusion: Contact history statistically significantly increases the risk of getting measles in children, vaccine statistically significantly reduces the risk of getting measles in children. Keywords: Contact history, vaccine status, measles, children.

Abstract

Background: There is need for a development of a robust model framework for COVID-19 to help researchers simulate several virus transmission scenarios, assist in predicting the disease route as well as assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures. COVID-19 data with four compartmental groups, that is susceptible group, the infected group, the recovered group, and the deceased group was required to enable setting up a mathematical compartmental model called Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Deceased (SIRD) for Botswana. This study aims to set up the SIRD model for COVID-19 in Botswana.Subjects and Method: The study took advantage of a retrospective cohort study carried out in Botswana specifically from a period ranging from 14th May 2020 to 3rd March 2022. The study population consisted of all persons who are susceptible to COVID-19 in Botswana and the sample size of this study was 2,397,240. Therefore, the variables of interest for this study were susceptible, infected, recovered as well as deceased persons. These were secondary data as reported by Botswana and recorded on the WHO website. Data for this study were analyzed using simulation methods specifically compartmental analysis.Results: COVID-19 will escalate at a very low transmission at an exponential growth rate of 0.11. The transmission of COVID-19 in Botswana will spread in the population and such spread may cause an epidemic (R0=1.13).Conclusion: The Ministry of Health and Wellness should ensure that there is slow relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in order to avoid the reappearance of COVID-19. The Ministry of Health and Wellness should also strictly insist on COVID-19 adherence protocols mainly during the winter season as well as holidays.

Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization advocates donor human milk as a superior substitute for newborns unable to obtain their mother’s milk. Calls have been made to scale up human milk banks to provide infants without access to mother’s milk safe donor human milk. This research sought to assess determinants of breast milk donation and the use of donor human milk among postpartum women.Subjects and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2023 at a government hospital with human milk banking facilities. A consecutive sampling technique was used to recruit a sample of 370 postpartum women admitted to the postnatal wards. A pretested interview-based questionnaire was used to obtain participants’ sociodemographic data, breastfeeding history, peri-natal characteristics, awareness of human milk banking, and other general factors that might influence acceptance to donate breast milk and the use of donated human milk. Data was analyzed using R-4.3.0 software and descriptive statistics were done for all variables. Further inferential statistics including the Chi-Square test and multivariate logistics regression were computed with a significance level set at α=0.050.Results: The mother’s willingness to donate breast milk and use donor human milk was 78.1% and 70.8% respectively. The respondent’s age (OR=0.42; 95% CI=0.19 to 0.94; p=0.035) was significantly associated with willingness to donate breast milk. Religion (OR=0.27; 95% CI=0.10 to 0.72; p =0.009) and awareness of human milk banking (OR=0.89; 95%CI= 1.07 to 3.36; p= 0.029) were significant predictors of willingness to use donor human milk.Conclusion: Human milk banking awareness was low among the study population; however, mothers are willing to donate and use donated breast milk. Age in years is significantly associated with willingness to donate while religion and awareness of human milk banking are significant predictors of use.

Abstract

Background: In Indonesia, the prevalence of dental caries in early childhood is still very high, around 93%. This study aims to analyze and estimate the magnitude of the relationship between sugar consumption, family income, and maternal education and the incidence of dental caries in children, through a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using PICO as follows, Population: children aged 1 to 5 years 11 months, Intervention: high sugar consumption, high family income, high maternal education, Comparison: low sugar consumption, low family income, low maternal education, and Outcome: dental caries. The articles used in this study were obtained from three databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, using the key­words "Sugar" OR "Sweet food" AND "Household income" OR "Parental income" AND "Parental education" OR "Education status" AND "Dental caries" AND "Child" OR "Children" AND "Cross-sectional" AND “aOR”. The included articles were full-text in English, with a cross-sectional study design from 2013 to 2023, and reported adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) in multivariate analysis. Article selection was carried out using the PRISMA diagram and analyzed using the ReMan 5.3 application. Results: A total of 11 cross-sectional were selected for meta-analysis. Children who frequently consume sugar have an increased risk of dental caries 1.50 times compared to children who rarely consume sugar, and this is statistically significant (aOR=1.50; 95% CI=1.32 to 1.70; p<0.001). Children from families with high incomes had a reduced risk of dental caries 0.65 times compared to children from families with low incomes, and this was statistically significant (aOR=0.65; 95% CI=0.59 to 0.71; p<0.001). Children who have highly educated mothers have a reduced risk of dental caries 0.71 times compared to children who have mothers with low education, and this is statistically significant (aOR=0.71; 95% CI=0.64 to 0.78; p<0.001). Conclusion: Sugar consumption statistically significantly increases the incidence of dental caries in children. High family income and high maternal education statistically significantly reduce the incidence of dental caries in children.
