<![CDATA[Physical activity is essential for children, but unfortunately, it has decreased due to the development of technology. Sedentary behavior in children can cause growth disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. It can also affect child development, including emotional and behavioral disorders, decreased self-confidence, and symptoms of depression. This cross-sectional study was conducted in February-March 2024 in five Ciherang Elementary Schools. The study included 246 children who met the inclusion criteria. Physical activity was assessed using the IPAQ questionnaire, while emotional and behavioral disorders were assessed using the pediatric symptom checklist 17 (PSC-17) questionnaire. Their mean age was 11.83 years. The mean IPAQ score was 62.21 (16.45), and the mean PSC-17 score was 11 (2 – 27). The study found no significant correlation between physical activity and emotional, behavioral, and psychosocial disorders (internalization; p-value = 0.322, attention; p-value=0.515, and externalization; p-value=0.059, and total PSC17 score; p-value=0.944). However, a correlation was found between physical activity and externalizing behavior, with an r-correlation value of 0.121 and an R square of 0.016. Physical activity is associated with externalizing behavior, particularly in children between 10 and 14.]]>

<![CDATA[Family planning (KB) is one of the Indonesian government's priority programs to control the rate of population growth. IUD (Intrauterine Device) is an effective and popular family planning method in Indonesia. Quality midwifery care is important to ensure successful IUD use and increase acceptor satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of midwifery care for family planning acceptors with IUDs in Kayu Kul Village, Pegasing, Central Aceh, Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional observational design involving family planning acceptors with IUDs in Kayu Kul Village, Pegasing, Central Aceh, Indonesia. Data was collected through structured interviews and observations of midwifery care provided to acceptors. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of family planning acceptors with IUDs (80%) received effective midwifery care. Effective midwifery care includes: complete health screening, comprehensive education about IUD use, counseling about IUD side effects and complications, and regular monitoring of IUD use. Acceptors who received effective midwifery care had a higher level of satisfaction (90%) compared to acceptors who did not receive effective midwifery care (60%). Effective midwifery care has been proven to increase family planning acceptor satisfaction with the IUD. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality of midwifery care at Health Centers to ensure successful use of IUDs and increase acceptor satisfaction.]]>

<![CDATA[Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease that causes peripheral neuropathy with disabling manifestations. This disease is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which thrives in cool body surface temperatures and enters the body through the nose and skin. This study aims to identify the clinical profile of leprosy patients, risk factors for transmission, and the prevalence of early disability. This research uses a cross-sectional approach with descriptive methods. This study was conducted in December 2023 at the Bunda Pembantu Abadi General Hospital, involving 130 leprosy patients who met the inclusion criteria. Data was collected using medical record data, including gender, age, occupation, family history, marital status, number of children, vital signs, duration of illness, WHO disability level score, bacterial index, and morphological index. Most of the respondents were men with normal vital signs except for body temperature, positive bacterial index, solid morphology index on the forehead, ear lobes and chin, and had a disability prevalence of 0 of 43.1% (56/130) because leprosy patients had a long illness. for one year. In conclusion, the clinical profile of leprosy patients at this hospital is dominated by men of productive age. The low rate of early disability highlights the importance of early detection and treatment. Further research is needed to understand risk factors for transmission and preventive interventions.]]>

<![CDATA[Cigarette consumption is the main cause of death in the world because it affects various physiological conditions in the body. Various ingredients in cigarette smoke such as tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, and others can cause health problems, especially in the O2 transportation system. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all tissues. The carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke is competitive with O2 in binding to hemoglobin so that the oxygen distributed to the tissues is reduced. The body will compensate for peripheral hypoxia that occurs by increasing hemoglobin levels in the body so that oxygen transport to the tissues can be maintained. Research regarding the relationship between the degree of smoking and hemoglobin levels is still controversial. Analytical research with cross-sectional design. A total of 184 respondents were taken using purposive sampling and it was found that the majority (94%) were men who worked as security officers, cleaners, parking attendants, or technicians. Based on the Brinkman Index, 73.9% of respondents were classified as light smokers, only 1.6% were classified as heavy smokers and 50.5% of respondents had low hemoglobin levels. Analysis showed that the majority of respondents in the light smoker group had normal hemoglobin levels (58.1%), while moderate and heavy smokers had lower hemoglobin levels. In statistical analysis, a significant p-value (0.001) was found between the degree of smoking and hemoglobin levels.]]>

<![CDATA[Adolescent obesity is an increasingly worrying global health problem. Consuming high-calorie foods (junk food) is thought to be one of the main risk factors. This study aims to analyze the role of high-calorie foods on the incidence of obesity in senior high school adolescents in Tangerang Regency, Indonesia. This community-based observational research involved 350 randomly selected senior high school students in Tangerang Regency. Data were collected through food questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical examinations. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic regression to identify the association between junk food consumption and obesity, with adjustment for potential confounding factors. The results showed that consumption of high-calorie foods was significantly associated with an increased risk of obesity in adolescents (OR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.65-4.98). Adolescents who frequently consume junk food have a 2.87 times higher risk of becoming obese than those who rarely consume it. Apart from that, a positive relationship was also found between the frequency of consumption of junk food body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference. Consumption of high-calorie foods has a significant role in increasing the risk of obesity in senior high school adolescents in Tangerang Regency. Comprehensive nutritional and public health interventions are needed to reduce junk food consumption and promote healthy eating patterns to prevent obesity in adolescents.]]>

<![CDATA[Obesity in adolescents is an increasingly worrying global health problem. Unhealthy eating patterns, especially consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF), are thought to be one of the main risk factors. This study aims to examine the relationship between UPF consumption and the risk of obesity in adolescents in Jambi City, Indonesia. Cross-sectional observational research was conducted on 350 adolescents aged 13-18 years in Jambi City. UPF consumption data was collected using the NOVA questionnaire, while anthropometric data (height, weight) was measured directly. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between UPF consumption and the risk of obesity, with adjustment for potential confounding variables such as gender, age, and socio-economic status. The results showed that high UPF consumption (above the median 4.2 servings/day) significantly increased the risk of obesity in adolescents in Jambi City (OR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.65-4.98; p < 0.001). This relationship remained significant after adjusting for confounding variables. No significant relationship was found between gender, age, and socioeconomic status with the risk of obesity. High UPF consumption is an independent risk factor for the incidence of obesity in adolescents in Jambi City. Comprehensive public health interventions are needed to reduce UPF consumption and promote healthy eating patterns in adolescents.]]>
