Abstract

The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia is 31.0%, which means that many Indonesians have obesity problems, including teenagers. Palu City is ranked tenth out of 33 provinces, with a percentage of 32.9%. Fast food consumption, sedentary lifestyle, and physical activity affect Body Mass Index (BMI). This study aims to determine the relationship between fast food consumption, sedentary lifestyle, and physical activity and the Body Mass Index (BMI) of grade X and XI students of MA Alkhairaat Pusat Palu. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The study population was 246, and a sample of 159 respondents was used using a proportional random sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using FFQ, ASAQ, and physical activity questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test. The univariate analysis results of respondents with abnormal BMI were 64 people (40.3%), and those with normal BMI were 95 people (59.7%). Based on bivariate analysis, the results of variables that have a relationship with Body Mass Index (BMI) are fast food consumption (p = 0.000). In contrast, variables that have no relationship with Body Mass Index are sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.917), and physical activity (p = 0.256). It is expected that adolescents can adopt a healthy lifestyle under the principles of balanced nutrition.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the levels of beta carotene, anthocyanin, antioxidant power (IC50), and yeast numbers of steamed sponge cake mold based on a combination of purple sweet potato flour (Ipomoea Batatas L.) and orange sweet potato flour (Ipomoea Batatas L.) as an alternative post-disaster snack. The type of research was a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using a ratio of wheat flour and a combination of purple sweet potato flour and orange sweet potato flour, namely 100:0 (F0), 80:20 (F1), 70:30 (F2), 60: 40 (F3), and 50:50 (F4). Data analysis included beta carotene, anthocyanin, IC50 of antioxidant activity, and mold yeast numbers. The steamed sponge cake with the highest anthocyanin content is formula F4 (2.64 mg/100 g), followed by formula F3 (1.57 mg/100 g). The β-carotene levels (mg/100g) show that the F3 formula is the highest, at 38.83 mg/100 g, and the F2 formula is 29.33 mg/100 g. The most potent antioxidant power is the F4 formula of 91.84 µg/mL. Formula F4, at a dilution of 10-6, obtained the lowest yeast number, 7 CFU/mL. Formula F4 is the best formula of the four formulas tested. Formula F4 has high levels of anthocyanin, β-carotene, antioxidant power, and the lowest number of yeast molds.

Abstract

Irritant Contact Dermatitis is an immunological local inflammatory response of the skin characterized by redness and swelling after exposure to irritants such as solvents, detergents, and sawdust. This study aims to determine the relationship between age, gender, length of contact, personal hygiene, and nutritional status with symptoms of irritant contact dermatitis in seaweed farmers, using quantitative methods and cross-sectional study design on 139 respondents who work as seaweed farmers in Seppong Village, North Belopa District, which were selected using random sampling techniques using questionnaires and then analyzed using chi-square. The findings revealed significant associations between symptoms of irritant contact dermatitis and the following variables: age (p-value = 0.005), gender (p-value = 0.003), duration of contact (p-value = 0.006), length of service (p-value = 0.003), and personal hygiene (p-value = 0.002). In contrast, nutritional status was found to be unrelated (p-value = 0.147). The conclusion of this research is that age, gender, length of contact, length of service, and personal hygiene have a strong influence on irritant contact dermatitis, so it is recommended that seaweed farmers pay attention to personal health by maintaining personal hygiene and also avoiding direct contact with irritants by using complete and standard PPE

Abstract

Rainwater is a vital water source in island regions, including North Bulagi District, Banggai Kepulauan Regency, Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of harvested rainwater and assess associated health risks from microbiological and chemical contaminants. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving the collection of eight rainwater samples from household reservoirs using purposive sampling and data from 94 respondents to support an exposure assessment. The parameters analyzed included Total Coliform, Escherichia coli, Nitrate (NO₃⁻), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), and Fluoride (F). Water quality analysis was conducted following APHA standard procedures. Health risk assessments were conducted using the Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) framework for chemical exposure and Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) for microbial hazards. Results showed that microbiological contamination, particularly Total Coliform, exceeded the acceptable limit at all sampling points, with the highest level recorded at Point VIII (2,600 CFU/100 mL). Most chemical parameters were within permissible levels; however, Nitrate concentrations at several locations approached the WHO guideline limit, notably at Point II (11.8 mg/L). Health risk assessment indicated a higher potential for non-carcinogenic effects among children due to Fluoride exposure (HQ > 1). Carcinogenic risks from Cadmium and Lead were within acceptable tolerable limits (ILCR < 1.0E-04). These findings underscore the importance of regularly monitoring rainwater quality and implementing mitigation strategies such as first-flush systems, filtration, and disinfection. The integrated methodological approach adopted in this study provides a robust evidence base for the formulation of effective environmental health interventions and policies, particularly in remote and island communities.

Abstract

Rohingya refugees from Myanmar in Bangladesh face significant challenges in accessing health services. This study examines factors that influence satisfaction with the quality of health care services in the destination country, Bangladesh. The secondary data from the “Rohingya Survey 2019,” which focused on social relationships, coping mechanisms, and views on relocation. The survey targeted 1,300 adults who arrived after August 25, 2017, with 1,277 respondents analyzed. Data were collected from March 1 to April 30, 2019, using quota sampling. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses, including binary logistic regression, were conducted to assess factors influencing satisfaction with health services. This study found that the majority of refugees were dissatisfied with health services. The key characteristics are female predominance among respondents, reliance on friends and neighbors for information, and dissatisfaction with the quality of education. All variables, including gender, news sources, perceptions of important figures, smoking habits, betel quid chewing habits, and satisfaction with education, were associated with satisfaction with health services. Multivariate analysis found that male refugees were 51% less likely to be satisfied with health services, refugees who received news from family were 69% less likely to be satisfied, and those who chewed betel quid were 30% less likely to be satisfied.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that still poses a major challenge for public health globally, including in Indonesia. Based on the Global Tuberculosis Report 2024, the number of TB cases continues to increase every year. One of the initiatives that supports TB eradication in South Sulawesi is the active role of the Tuberculosis Care Community Foundation (Yamali), which collaborates with the government, health facilities, and the community to reduce the prevalence of TB. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of collaboration and collaborative actions by the Yamali NGO in efforts to eradicate TB in South Sulawesi. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews and document reviews. Eight research informants were selected by purposive sampling based on their involvement in the TB eradication program. The results of this study show that the collaboration between the Makassar City Health Office, the Ministry of Health, the Regional Government, and Yamali has been effective. Treatment assistance programs, community empowerment, and new case discovery were found to have been implemented well. However, challenges related to case recording in the TB Information System Software (SITB) must be improved to cover all cases, including those carried out independently by patients. The sustainability of this collaboration is the main key to achieving the TB elimination target in Makassar City. We recommend making a policy for pentahelix collaboration i.e. government, business, civil society, academician and media

Abstract

Technological advances and accessibility influence the utilization of health services in today's world, but barriers still exist. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the utilization of maternal health services and the barriers that hinder access in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR). This study analyzed 2023 MICS data from 3,754 women in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, examining maternal health service utilization. The dependent variable was categorized as utilization or non-utilization, while the independent variables included demographics, geography, decision-making power, and health system factors. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression were used for data analysis. This study found that of the 3,754 respondents, 2,930 people used health services to give birth. The chi-square test showed that age, education, residence, region, decision making, insurance ownership, and wealth index were significantly associated with using maternal health services. Multivariate analysis showed that higher education was the strongest predictor of health service use (OR = 20.90), with geographic factors, wealth inequality, and shared decision-making. Areas without road access and the poorest wealth groups were less likely to use services, while shared decision-making increased the likelihood by 45%. It is recommended that higher education be promoted, road access improved, and shared decision-making be encouraged to increase the utilization of maternal health services, especially among the poorest communities and those living in rural areas.

Abstract

Uterine contractions cause labor pain in the first stage and can be alleviated through non-pharmacological methods like effleurage massage and acupressure. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of effleurage massage and acupressure in reducing labor pain and improving labor efficiency. This analytical experimental study used an RCT design with 30 participants, and data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the ANOVA test. Both interventions significantly reduced labor pain during the first active phase of labor. The intervention group receiving a combination of effleurage massage and acupressure showed a more significant reduction in pain, with mean scores increasing from 2.27 (SD = 0.799) to 2.73 (SD = 0.594) and significant mean differences (3.44; 95% CI: 3.04–3.85 and 3.22; 95% CI: 1.79–2.88), with F-counts of 8.870 and 9.820 (p = 0.03). In the control group receiving acupressure alone, the mean scores decreased from 3.07 (SD = 0.799) to 2.93 (SD = 0.704), with mean differences of 2.33 (95% CI: 1.79–3.77) and 3.20 (95% CI: 2.64–3.76), F-counts of 8.310 and 9.034 (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, respectively). The combination therapy proved more effective than acupressure alone in mothers giving birth in the first active phase

Abstract

Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes caused by single-gene mutations affecting insulin secretion, often presenting in young individuals. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene (MODY12), encoding the SUR1 subunit of the pancreatic β-cell K-ATP channel, are a known cause, though relatively rare (1-3% prevalence). This literature review summarized cases of ABCC8-MODY, detailing genetic/clinical features, differentiating it from Type 1 (T1DM) and Type 2 (T2DM) diabetes, and outlining treatments. A Google Scholar search (2020-2024) using keywords "ABCC8 gene," "diabetes," and "young age," followed by screening based on specific inclusion/exclusion criteria, yielded 7 relevant articles from an initial 1,010. The ABCC8 gene is crucial for insulin secretion via the K-ATP channel; mutations cause β-cell dysfunction and MODY12 with variable phenotypes. Misdiagnosis as T1DM/T2DM is frequent. Key MODY features include young onset (<25-35 years), strong family history, absence of pancreatic autoantibodies, persistent endogenous insulin production (detectable C-peptide), and often, high sensitivity to sulfonylureas (SUs). Accurate diagnosis requires meticulous history, clinical assessment, and definitive molecular genetic testing (e.g., NGS). Notably, patients with ABCC8-MODY typically respond well to SU therapy, making early, correct diagnosis vital for appropriate management. Identifying these genetic defects is paramount for distinguishing MODY from other diabetes types and optimizing patient care based on specific underlying pathophysiology and therapeutic responsiveness
