Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic disorders, including central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In Indonesia, the prevalence of central obesity is 35.4%, hypertension 34.1%, and elevated total cholesterol 28.7%. Fishermen and oil palm farmers are at risk of MetS due to lifestyle changes and reduced physical activity. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the association between physical activity and MetS among married couples in fishing and oil palm farming communities. Methods: This case-control study involved 240 participants (120 couples) from two districts in Aceh, Indonesia. MetS was defined according to IDF criteria. Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Sociodemographic and metabolic data were collected through interviews and clinical examinations. Analyses included chi-square, independent t-test, and binary logistic regression adjusted for age, income, and household size. Results: Occupational and domestic activities were significantly associated with reduced MetS risk in farmers. Moderate occupational activity lowered the risk by 91% (OR=0.009; 95% CI: 0.000–0.429), while high activity reduced risk by 91.3% (OR=0.087; 95% CI: 0.109–14.319). Moderate (OR=0.213; p-value=0.043) and high domestic activity (OR=0.198; p-value=0.038) were also protective. Total activity and daily MET scores were significantly associated with MetS (p-value<0.05). No significant association was observed in fishing communities. Conclusions: Occupational and domestic activities protect against MetS in oil palm farmers but not in fishermen. Strategies to promote physical activity should be adapted to community characteristics.

Abstract

Background: The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among young adults has been increasing rapidly, including in Indonesia, due to urbanization, changes in dietary patterns, and sedentary lifestyles. Lifestyle factors, such as physical inactivity and unhealthy eating habits, play a significant role in raising T2DM risk, while family history remains a strong genetic factor. Objectives: This study compared preventive behaviors, diabetes-related knowledge, and risk levels among college students with and without a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 college students aged 18-21 years. Participants were categorized according to the presence or absence of a family history of T2DM. Data collection included anthropometric measurements, a 3-day food diary, a physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), a diabetes knowledge test (MDKT), and a risk assessment (AUSDRISK). Data were analyzed using chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and logistic regression. Results: Students with a family history of T2DM demonstrated significantly higher knowledge scores (p-value=0.005) and diabetes risk levels (p-value<0.001), but lower walking activity (p-value=0.002). They also reported lower supermarket food consumption (p-value=0.008). Multivariate analysis showed that higher knowledge and supermarket food consumption were associated with a lower likelihood of having a family history of T2DM, while diabetes risk was the strongest predictor. Conclusions: Although students with a family history of T2DM exhibited better knowledge, they showed a higher diabetes risk and a suboptimal lifestyle. These findings emphasize the importance of behavior-oriented prevention strategies on campus, especially for individuals with a genetic predisposition.

Abstract

Background: Enteral nutrition (EN) is a vital intervention in critically ill patients, providing numerous benefits, including reduced Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay, improved bowel function, and fewer infections. Nurses play a pivotal role in standardizing EN practices to ensure optimal patient care. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, practices, and influencing factors related to EN among ICU nurses in Jordan. Objectives: To assess ICU nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding EN and identify factors influencing their performance. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted across four Jordanian hospitals, involving 200 ICU nurses who completed a self-administered questionnaire with open-ended, multiple-choice, and Likert-scale items. Data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Results: Nurses demonstrated moderate EN knowledge (M=13.47, SD=2.68) and generally positive attitudes with acceptable practices. Knowledge was significantly correlated with both attitudes (r=0.18, p-value=0.012) and practices (r=0.42, p-value<0.001). Nurses who received prior EN training or worked in private hospitals exhibited higher practice scores (p-value<0.05). However, key gaps persisted- only 39% routinely confirmed nasogastric-tube placement via X-ray, and many did not recognize pancreatitis as an indication for EN. Conclusions: The study revealed moderate knowledge of EN among ICU nurses and variable practices, highlighting inconsistencies with evidence-based standards. Addressing these gaps through structured in-service training, clear institutional protocols, and competency-based assessments is essential to enhance nurses’ performance and ensure safer, more consistent EN delivery across Jordanian ICUs.

Abstract

Background: Blood pressure control in elderly patients with hypertension largely depends on adherence to recommended dietary patterns, yet validated instruments based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) to assess hypertension diet compliance are limited. Objectives: To evaluate the validity and reliability of an HBM-based questionnaire for assessing diet compliance among elderly people with hypertension. Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 153 elderly hypertensive patients at the Jembatan Kecil Primary Health Center in Bengkulu City. Data were collected through interviews using a characteristics questionnaire and an HBM-based hypertension diet compliance questionnaire comprising 6 domains (perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, cues to action) and 40 Likert-scale items. Item validity was assessed using Pearson correlation with the criterion r count ≥ r table (0.1587; α = 0.05), while reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha ≥ 0.70. Results: Of the 40 items, 37 met the validity criterion with r count ranging from 0.210 to 0.513, and all domains demonstrated high reliability with Cronbach’s alpha values between 0.71 and 0.98; the overall Cronbach’s alpha for the 37 items was 0.82. Conclusion: The HBM-based hypertension diet compliance questionnaire consisting of 37 items is valid and reliable, and can be used as a measurement tool to assess diet compliance in elderly individuals with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is characterized by significant physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that influence learning behavior, lifestyle patterns, and nutritional intake. Boarding schools generally implement highly structured daily routines, including regulated mealtimes, study periods, sleep schedules, and extracurricular activities, whereas non-boarding schools allow greater flexibility in students’ daily lives. Objectives: This study aimed to examine differences in nutritional status, breakfast habits, sleep quality, and learning concentration among adolescents attending boarding and non-boarding senior high schools in Depok, Indonesia, in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed using stratified random sampling. A total of 110 students participated, consisting of 55 students from Madrasah Aliyah Al Hidayah Boarding School Rawadenok Depok and 55 students from SMAN 5 Depok, drawn from grades 10 and 11. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test and the independent t-test. Results: The findings demonstrated significant differences in nutritional status (p-value=0.016) and breakfast habits (p-value<0.001) between students residing in dormitories and those living at home. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in sleep quality (p-value=0.560) or learning concentration (p-value=0.993) between the two groups. Conclusions: Adolescents attending boarding and non-boarding schools differed with respect to nutritional status and breakfast habits, while sleep quality and learning concentration showed no significant differences. These results highlight the importance of maintaining balanced nutrition and healthy lifestyle practices to support adolescents’ overall health and academic performance.

Abstract

Background: Short birth length increases the risk of stunting and long-term health problems; however, despite various interventions, the prevalence of short birth length and stunting at birth in Indonesia remains high. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the determinants of short birth length among Indonesian children using data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI). Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 223,741 children with available birth length information in the 2022 SSGI dataset. Complex sample logistic regression was performed, with short birth length (<48 cm) as the dependent variable and child, maternal, household, and health service characteristics as independent variables. Results: The prevalence of short birth length was 37.2%. Prematurity was the strongest risk factor (AOR=1.32; 95% CI: 1.28–1.37; p-value<0.001). Other significant risk factors included low maternal education (AOR=1.12; 95% CI: 1.09–1.16; p-value<0.001), maternal unemployment (AOR=1.05; 95% CI: 1.01–1.08; p-value=0.008), fewer than six antenatal care visits (AOR=1.06; 95% CI: 1.02–1.09; p-value=0.001), high-risk parity (AOR=1.14; 95% CI: 1.10–1.18; p-value<0.001), poor household food security (AOR=1.06; 95% CI: 1.03–1.10; p-value=0.001), unimproved drinking water sources (AOR=1.06; 95% CI: 1.03–1.10; p-value<0.001), and the lowest socioeconomic quintile (AOR=1.31; 95% CI: 1.24–1.39; p-value<0.001). Male infants had lower odds of short birth length (AOR=0.73; 95% CI: 0.71–0.75; p-value<0.001), while residential location and sanitation showed no significant association. Conclusions: Short birth length is significantly associated with prematurity, maternal characteristics, low socioeconomic status, food insecurity, and limited access to health services, indicating the need for comprehensive interventions before pregnancy.
