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: 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".

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 has become a pandemic in all countries including Indonesia. The death rate from COVID-19 is concentrated in elderly patients and those with comorbidities. COPD is one of the comorbidities that can worsen and even cause death. COPD ranks in the top 3 leading causes of death in the world causing 2.3 million deaths in 2019. This study aims to analyze the effect of COPD comorbidities on mortality and severity of COVID-19 patients.Subjects and Method: This study used a systematic review and meta-analysis by following the PRISMA flow chart. Search articles through journal databases, namely: Google scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Link Springer. The articles search was done by considering the eligibility criteria defined in the PICO model. P= COVID-19 patient; I= COPD participant; C= without COPD; O= need for mechanical ventilation, ICU admission, and death. Inclusion criteria were cohort full paper articles, in English, multivariate analysis with adjusted Odds Ratio. Articles analyzed with RevMan 5.3.Results: The 13 cohort study designs reviewed with a meta-analysis to estimate the risk of death showed that comorbid COPD increased the risk of death (aOR= 1.33; 95% CI= 1.08 to 1.64; p= 0.007). 9 cohort study designs were reviewed with a meta-analysis to estimate the risk of severity with indicators of mechanical ventilation need (aOR= 1.38; 95% CI= 1.05 to 1.82; p= 0.020). 7 cohort study designs were reviewed by meta-analysis to estimate the risk of severity with indicators of risk of ICU admission (aOR= 1.25; 95% CI= 1.04 to 1.50; p= 0.020).Conclusion: COPD comorbidities increase the risk of need for mechanical ventilation, ICU admission and death among COVID-19 patients.Keywords: COVID-19, COPD, death, severityCorrespondence:

Abstract

Background: In DR Congo, South Kivu is among the cities most affected by COVID-19 with its dense population and common mass movement. This study aimed to investigate the population behavior and practices during the spread period of Corona in South Kivu, East of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Subjects dan Method: A cross-sectional analytical study was undertaken in South Kivu province and included 800 hundred individuals. The survey questionnaire was designed and comprised information on independent variables including socio-demographic and socioeconomic parameters, travel history of individuals, and person's history of COVID-19 comorbidity factors. These data were used to explain the dependent variable which was the population behavior and practices which was linked to the COVID-19 positivity or negativity. A rapid test of the COVID-19 antigen for people suspected of having cough and fever followed by RT-PCR tests was conducted. Statistical analyses were performed under R, version 3.5.1. Results: Results indicate three categories of people depending on their behavior and practices during the COVID-19. These include the negative group, those who contracted the disease and knew their serological status, and those who did not know their serological status. The behavior of these categories varied with age, education level, income, and their geographical location. Variable behaviors have been adopted, including lack of action, prayer, self-medication, lifestyle change, and change in feeding. Efforts to control the spread of the disease entailed two most commonly used barriers: wearing a mask (95%) and frequent hand washing (94%). In the COVID-19 infected category, type 1 individuals developed the most characteristic symptoms of COVID-19, mainly cough, asthenia, fever, and headache. Types 2 and 3 individuals were less likely to engage in any of the behaviors associated with COVID-19 because they have fewer comorbidities and have developed fewer of the symptoms characteristic of COVID-19. Conclusion: Education level and socioeconomic conditions are among the factors to be considered in pandemic control strategies. Keywords: Typology, SARS, comorbidity, population believe.
