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: Infertility affects approximately one in six individuals globally and remains a growing reproductive health concern, often linked to modifiable risk factors present before conception. Preconception care (PCC) has gained recognition as a preventive strategy, however the implementation of PCC at scale remains challenged and yet its research landscape in relation to infertility remains under-mapped.This study aimed to analyze global research trends on preconception care in the context of infertility prevention using bibliometric methods.Subjects and Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database, with data retrieved on May 12, 2024. The search strategy included terms related to PCC and infertility, yielding 486 eligible publications after screening. Included documents were English-language publications in final form, relevant to preconception care and infertility, and classified as articles, reviews, conference papers, or book materials. Analysis was performed using Scopus tools, Biblioshiny (R), and VOSviewer to examine publication trends, key contributors, and thematic evolution.Results: A total of 486 publications from 1991 to 2025 were identified, with an annual growth rate of 6.43%. Most documents were original articles (67.7%) and reviews (28.4%), authored by 2,529 contributors across 307 publication sources. Several national strategies have formalized PCC into broader public health policy to reduce disparities in pregnancy outcomes and unmet fertility needs, but there remains a critical gap in the global PCC research agenda, such as the heterogeneity in intervention protocols.Conclusion: Research on preconception care in the context of infertility prevention has expanded steadily. However, Future research should prioritize longitudinal and interventional studies, foster global collaboration, and align with broader reproductive justice goals to strengthen the evidence base. Ultimately, enhancing the visibility and implementation of PCC in both clinical and public health domains will be pivotal in addressing modifiable infertility risks and promoting equitable reproductive outcomes worldwide.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of dementia rises sharply, and it is expected to grow worldwide in the decades ahead. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of dementia among the elderly in Jakarta, Indonesia.Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional design was employed in the Aisyah organization at Jakarta City, Indonesia. A total of 65 elderly people were selected using Stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was dementia. The independent variables were education, occupation, married status, and exercise routine. The dementia was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire, which was translated into Bahasa. Results: The participants had an education level of high school or below (52.31%), were not married (53.85%), and were not working (55.38%). The majority reported frequent exercise (92.31%), and 44.62% were identified with dementia. Bivariate analysis showed that higher education (OR = 0.92; 95% CI= 0.26 to 3.22; p= 0.002) and being married (OR= 0.94; 95% CI= 0.34 to 2.61; p= 0.020) were significantly associated with lower dementia risk. Exercise routine showed a strong protective effect (OR = 0.17; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.79; p= 0.043), while occupational status was not significantly associated (p= 0.074). In multivariate analysis, only exercise routine remained significantly associated with dementia (OR= 0.17; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.78; p= 0.042), suggesting it as an independent protective factor after controlling for confounders.Conclusion: Regular physical activity was identified as a significant protective factor against dementia among the elderly. Promoting exercise may be an effective strategy for dementia prevention in this population.

Abstract

Background: The majority of cesarean section deliveries use spinal anesthesia which can have an effect on the deterioration of the gastrointestinal system so that intestinal peristalsis becomes slow. Slow intestinal peristaltic function leads to difficulty defecation and prolongs the day of treatment, in some cases can increase the risk of paralytic ileus. To prevent the risk of complications, intervention can be carried out in postoperative cesarean section patients with early mobilization. This study aims to determine the effect of early mobilization on intestinal peristaltic recovery in post- cesarean section patients. Subjects and Method: This was a quasy experiment conducted at Islamic Hospital in Demak, Central Java, from July to December 2024. A sample of 58 post-cesarean section mothers was selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups. Assessment of intestinal peristaltic variables through auscultation examination with a stethoscope and early mobilization using observation sheet instruments. Intestinal peristaltic recovery between two groups were examined logistic regression. Results: There was a difference in intestinal peristaltic recovery in post- cesarean section patients between the intervention group and the control group (p=0.000) with the mean value of intestinal peristalsis in the intervention group of 25.45 (SD=6.07) and in the control group of 11.38 (SD=7.69). Patients who were given early mobilization had a 4.48 times faster chance of recovery of intestinal peristalsis. Conclusion: Early mobilization had a positive impact on the recovery of intestinal peristaltic (p<0.05). Health workers should not only provide education, but also assistance in the implement-tation of early mobilization, especially in the first 24 hours post- cesarean section.Keywords: early mobilization, intestinal peristaltics, post cesarean section.

Abstract

Background: The rising global prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has prompted investigations into environmental risk factors beyond traditional lifestyle causes. Air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) has emerged as a potential contributor to diabetes. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from large scale cohort studies to evaluate the association between long term air pollution exposure and T2D risk. Subjects and Method: We analyzed prospective cohort studies (2020–2025) assessing air pollution and incident T2D, sourced from PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE using the search terms: ("air pollution" OR "PM2.5") AND ("type 2 diabetes" OR "T2D") AND ("cohort" OR "longitudinal"). We using PECO framework (Populatio= adults population; Exposure=High Exposure of PM2.5; Comparison=Low Exposure of PM2.5; Outcomes=T2D). The independent variable was Exposure of PM2.5 and dependent variable was T2D. Primary studies included were cohort manuscript published in english with year of publication between 2020 until 2025, reported adjusted hazard ratios (aHR), and the subjects was adults without diabetes at baseline. Studies were evaluated using the CASP Scale, and data were analyzed using RevMan 13. Results: This study includes 9 papers, using Cohort study designs, from China, United Kingdom, South Korea and United States. PM₂.₅ exposure consistently increased T2D risk with stronger effects at lower exposure levels (aHR = 1.24; 95% Cl = 1.07 to 1.42; p=0.004). Conclusion: Long-term PM₂.₅ exposure significantly increases T2D risk and progression

Abstract

Background: The work environment greatly affects the health condition of the workers so that there are no work-related accidents or occupational diseases. Noisy physical environmental factors above the threshold value have a risk of causing occupational diseases such as psychological work stress and hypertension. This study aims to analyze the effect of noise exposure on occupational stress and hypertension among workers. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta analysis with the following PICO. P: working society, I: exposure noise ≥85 dBA, C: not exposed to noise ≥85 dBA, O: Stress and Hypertension. This study used of articles published between 2009 and 2022 were comprehensively searched for using electronic databases like PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The keywords to search for articles were “noise exposure” OR “occupational noise” AND “occupational stress” OR “work stress” AND “hypertension”. The adjusted odds ratio was used to evaluate the effect size (aOR). To evaluate the bias risk, the Critical Appraisal Skill Program (CASP) was used. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: This study includes 14 papers, using cross-sectional and case-control study designs, from Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Jordan, and South Korea. Based on 5 studies cross-sectional on the effects of exposure to noise in the event of work stress, work stress increases 4.88 times compared to workers who are not exposed to noise (aOR=4.88; 95% CI= 1.77 to 13.47; p= 0.002). 9 subgroup studies with cross-sectional and case-control study designs on the effect of noise exposure showed an increase of 2.47 times the incidence of hypertension compared to workers who were not exposed to noise at work (aOR= 2.47; 95% CI= 1.75 to 3.48; p<0.001). Conclusion: Exposure to noise increases the risk of work-related stress and hypertension. Suggestions that can be made are to carry out engineering, periodic measurements, work time management, workforce education and use of PPE.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has a significant risk of developing active Tuber-culosis (TB) and complicates its treatment. There is no conclusive evidence on whether TB-T2DM comorbidities are associated with an increased risk of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The study aims to analyze and estimate the relationship of T2DM to MDR-TB incidence and to estimate the size of the combined effect. Subjects and Method: This study was a meta-analysis with PICO, Population: patients actively undergoing MDR-TB treatment. Intervention: Patients with comorbid Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Comparison: Tuberculosis patients without comorbid Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Output: MDR-TB (Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis). The articles used in this study were obtained from databases with keywords to search for articles were ("Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2" OR "diabetic" OR "diabetes") AND "tuberculosis" AND ("Tuberculosis, Multidrug-Resistant" OR "drug resistance" OR "multidrug-resistant" OR "multidrug resistant" OR "multidrug resistance" OR "drug-resistant" OR "drug resistant"). Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria, is published in the form of an English full-text article from January 2015 to January 2025, reporting the relationship between T2DM and MDR-TB among TB patients. The articles were selected using the PRISMA flow diagram and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: This meta-analysis consisted of 9 articles originating from Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Results of the meta-analysis showed that the cohort study of type 2 diabetes mellitus had a 4.11 times greater risk of developing MDR-TB compared to people who did not have type 2 diabetes mellitus. In a control case study of type 2 diabetes mellitus, there was a 3.11 times greater risk of developing MDR-TB than people without type 2 diabetes mellitus, and both were statistically significant (aOR= 3.39; CI 95%= 2.05 to 8.24; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for MDR TB.
