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.

The independent variable was place of care, i.e. halfway house or home with family. Except for bodyweight and CD4, the other remaining variables were collected by in-depth interview and observation. Bodyweight was measured by scale. CD4 was measured by chemical laboratory.Results: There was no difference in child growth living in the two places of care, with respect to bodyweight and CD4 count. The CD4 count was moderate indicating a moderate immunosuppressive state. Children with HIV/AIDS suffered stigma and discrimination more at halfway house than at home living with family. There was no difference in gross motoric development in children with HIV/AIDS living at the two places of care. Likewise, there was no difference in moral and religious development in children with HIV/AIDS living at the two places of care.Conclusion: Stigma and discrimination occur more often in children with HIV/AIDS that live at halfway house than at home with family. Bodyweight, CD4 count, gross motoric development, and moral and religious development are comparable in children with HIV/AIDS that live at halfway house and at home with family.Keywords: children with HIV/AIDS, halfway house, family, growth, developmentCorrespondence: Vita Raraningrum.
