Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress is common among medical students, particularly women who may be hormonally more susceptible. Primary dysmenorrhea—menstrual pain without pelvic pathology—is often intensified by stress and can hinder academic performance. Objective: To examine the relationship between academic stress and primary dysmenorrhea among female medical students at Tanjungpura University. Methods: This analytical observational study used a cross-sectional design involving 123 female medical students selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Academic stress was measured using the Medical Student Stress Questionnaire (MSSQ), and menstrual pain was assessed with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Result: Most respondents reported severe academic stress (57.7%) and mild dysmenorrhea (44.7%). A moderate positive correlation was found between academic stress and dysmenorrhea severity (r = 0.302; p = 0.0001). Conclusion: A meaningful relationship exists between academic stress and the severity of primary dysmenorrhea in female medical students. The use of MSSQ highlights academic stressors specific to medical training. Targeted stress management strategies may help reduce menstrual pain and improve student well-being.

Abstract

The skin is the largest organ and plays an important role as a protector of the body. In geriatric populations, physiological changes in the skin due to aging increase susceptibility to various skin diseases. Local data on the characteristics of geriatric patients with skin diseases are still limited, especially in Makassar. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics of geriatric patients with skin diseases at Ibnu Sina Makassar Hospital. The research design was a cross-sectional descriptive study with a total sampling of 54 geriatric patients (≥60 years) who were treated at the Skin and Venerean Outpatient Polyclinic of RSP Ibnu Sina Makassar for the 2022–2024 period. Data was obtained through medical records, then analyzed descriptively using SPSS and Excel.   Most patients were aged 60–74 years (74.1%), male (51.9%), and civil servant/retired (57.4%). As many as 74.1% of patients did not have comorbidities; Diabetes mellitus was the most comorbid (13%). Non-infectious skin diseases dominated (50%), followed by fungal infections (25.9%), bacterial (16.7%), and viral (7.4%). The most common diagnoses were senilic pruritus (20.4%), followed by tinea corporis (13%), as well as seborrheic dermatitis, lichen simplex, and shingles at 7.4% each. Geriatric patients with skin diseases at the Ibnu Sina Makassar Hospital Outpatient Polyclinic for the 2022–2024 period are dominated by 60–74 years old, male, and most of the jobs are civil servants/retirees.

Abstract

Background: The increase in global obesity rates seems to be a consequence of changes in the global food system that lead to a shift in dietary patterns from traditional foods to fast food consumption. Increasing evidence from cross-sectional studies conducted around the world has shown that consumption of fast food is consistently associated with changes in body weight and obesity. The distribution of fat in different countries is influenced by genetic factors and external or environmental factors such as diet and physical activity. The results show that the Chinese have a higher body fat percentage than the Europeans. Genes are important factors that make up the human body, but the environment also plays an important role. This environment includes behavior or lifestyle patterns. Objective: To determine the effect of age and gender on body fat mass of UMM employees Methods: This research is an analytic observational study with the Cross Sectional method which was conducted to determine the effect of age and gender on fat mass in UMM employees. The total sample in this study was 50 employees. Data collection was carried out by filling out questionnaires and measuring using a microtoise and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Results: The results of the correlation test of age data on body fat mass found that there was no relationship between age and fat mass. Meanwhile, the influence of gender on body fat mass found a relationship between gender and body fat mass in employees of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. Conclusion: There was no effect of age on body fat mass of UMM employees and there was an effect of gender on body fat mass of UMM employees.
