Abstract

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in the form of joint inflammation in adults. Based on the 2018 WHO report, it shows that there are 335 million people in the world who have rheumatism, of which 5-10% are aged 5-20 years and 20% are aged 55 years. Factors that can cause pain in rheumatoid arthritis are dietary factors, one of which is frequent consumption of fast food and preserved foods. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of consumption of fast food and preserved foods to rheumatoid arthritis complaints in two gymnastics groups in Bandung City.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 30 gymnastic ladies taken by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with IBM SPSS Statistic 21 software.Results: Based on the results of the analysis that has been done, there is no relationship between age, educational history, consumption of fast food and preserved food with rheumatoid arthritis complaints in the group of gymnastics ladies in Bandung City (p0,05).Conclusions: The absence of an association among age, educational history, consumption of fast food and preserved foods with rheumatoid arthritis complaints can be due to other factors outside of these factors such as genetics, gender, obesity, infectious diseases, and lack of knowledge about rheumatoid arthritis. What's more, rheumatoid arthritis is also a multifactorial disease, so we need to wisely maintain and regulate  his, her, their, etc lifestyle and food intake so that rheumatoid arthritis complaints can be minimized and do not have recurrences.

Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome is a real threat to the occurrence of non-communicable diseases. One of the factors that causes metabolic syndrome is a person's nutritional status. Survey results state that the increasing incidence of metabolic syndrome is related to changes in his, her, their, etc. lifestyle, namely changes in physical activity, lack of exercise and changes in consumption patterns. Unbalanced calorie intake and usage results in excess nutritional status (obesity). Based on this, this research aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of metabolic syndrome in UPI K3 employees.Research Methods: The design used is cross sectional. The population is K3 employees of the University of Education, Indonesia. The research sample was taken using a purposive sampling method from 30 K3 officers at the Indonesian University of Education, Bandung City. Data processing uses the chi-square correlation test.Research Result: The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of metabolic syndrome with a p value = 0.029 (0.05). A person with an obese nutritional status has a 5.091 times greater risk of experiencing metabolic syndrome than a person who has a normal nutritional status or is thin. This is because obese sufferers have a greater risk of developing other complications.Conclusion: there is a significant relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of metabolic syndrome. The importance of implementing a healthy lifestyle, especially in managing adequate diet and exercise to reduce the incidence of metabolic syndrome.
