Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases, with a prevalence of 60.3%. In Kerinci Regency, the prevalence of hypertension in 2022 was recorded at 19.78%, while in the Siulak Gedang Health Center, there were 289 cases of hypertension. This study aims to identify the determinant factors that influence the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Siulak Gedang Health Center, Kerinci Regency. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 101 elderly individuals aged over 60 years were selected using proportional simple random sampling. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression. The results showed that the prevalence of hypertension in the elderly was 71.28%. No significant relationship was found between gender and smoking history with hypertension. However, family history, sodium consumption, and sleep quality were found to be associated with the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. The main risk factor identified was obesity, with a 14.13 times higher risk of hypertension in the elderly (p-value = 0.011). Hypertension prevention should focus on managing obesity through health education, regular check-ups, and the implementation of a healthy lifestyle to reduce the prevalence of hypertension among the elderly.

Abstract

Anemia is a global health problem with a prevalence of 30% of the world's population, especially in developing countries. Factors that contribute to the high prevalence of anemia in adolescents include menstrual patterns, adolescent knowledge, diet and rest patterns. The study aims to identify risk factors for anemia in adolescents for further efforts by the health service/government to prevent anemia in adolescents. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach and a chi-square test design. This study was conducted in May 2024. The data for this study came from primary data, including respondent characteristics, anemia risk questionnaires, knowledge questionnaires and rest time duration. The population of this study was all 116 female students of grades X, XI, XII in 2024. The sampling technique used was total sampling. Based on the results of research on the factors that influence the risk of anemia in female students at SMK Assalam, Depok City that has been carried out, the percentage of anemia risk (60.3%), poor rest patterns (86.2%), low knowledge (62.9%) was obtained. Based on the results of the bivariate test, there is a relationship between rest patterns and the risk of anemia in female students of SMK Assalam, Depok City. However, there is no relationship between knowledge and the risk of anemia in female students at SMK Assalam, Depok City in 2024. The results of this study indicate the need for interventions that emphasize good rest patterns to reduce the risk of anemia in adolescents.

Abstract

Anemia and malnutrition are common complications in hemodialysis patients that can impact prognosis and quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between hemoglobin levels and nutritional status in regular hemodialysis patients at Sleman Regional General Hospital. This observational study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted in July 2024 using the total sampling method. The study subjects consisted of 117 regular hemodialysis patients who met the inclusion criteria: aged ≥18 years and undergoing routine hemodialysis at least twice a week. Data collection included demographic characteristics, hemoglobin levels from laboratory results, and anthropometric measurements to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI). Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed that the average hemoglobin level of patients was 8.80 g/dL (SD ± 1.79), with 28.21% falling into the sufficient category (8.10–9.00 g/dL). Nutritional status assessment revealed diverse conditions among patients, with 52.14% having normal nutritional status based on BMI calculations (mean 24.31 ± 4.26 kg/m²), while 12.82% were underweight, and 35.04% were classified as overweight/obese. Statistical analysis indicated no significant relationship between hemoglobin levels and nutritional status (p = 0.997, r = -0.052), suggesting that these parameters are independently influenced by different factors. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive and individualized approach in managing hemodialysis patients, particularly focusing on anemia treatment through ESA administration and iron supplementation. Additionally, regular monitoring of nutritional status using more accurate methods such as Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) is recommended to ensure optimal patient care and improved outcomes.

Abstract

Hypertension is a global health issue that contributes to increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. The pre-elderly population requires special attention as they undergo a transitional phase toward old age, during which physiological changes increase the risk of hypertension. This study aims to identify risk factors for hypertension among pre-elderly individuals in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Lolomatua, South Nias Regency. The study employs an analytical observational method with a case-control design, analyzing data using the Chi-Square test, Odds Ratio (OR), and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). The study sample consists of 86 pre-elderly respondents, including 43 cases (hypertension) and 43 controls (non-hypertension). The results indicate a significant association between sodium intake and hypertension (p = 0.005; OR = 3.894), sleep quality (p = 0.000; OR = 4.350), and physical activity (p = 0.001; OR = 4.350). However, smoking habits were not associated with hypertension (p = 0.514; OR = 9.431). Pre-elderly individuals with excessive sodium intake, poor sleep quality, and low physical activity have a fourfold increased risk of developing hypertension. In contrast, smoking habits did not show a significant risk for hypertension. Therefore, regular health check-ups are recommended for pre-elderly individuals to maintain stable blood pressure.

Abstract

Snacks for school-age children are important for meeting daily nutritional needs, but both excess and deficiency of nutrients can affect children's growth and development. This study aims to develop a healthy snack based on Binto' Toeng flour (Barbinto) and to test its acceptability and nutritional content. The research was conducted using an experimental design with a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) from April to June 2024, involving the preparation of gude bean flour, the production of Barbinto, organoleptic testing, and nutritional analysis. The organoleptic test showed that the control formulation had the highest preference score from both trained panelists and consumer panelists, with mean values of 5.23 and 5.80, respectively. Among the three experimental formulations, the one with 10% gude bean flour had the highest mean score of 5.2 and 5.05. Nutritional analysis indicated an increase in protein, fiber, ash, Vitamin A, and iron content, although there were decreases in carbohydrate, fat, water, Vitamin C, and zinc levels. Barbinto is expected to become a healthy snack option for schoolchildren, but innovations are needed to reduce the off-flavor in the product.

Abstract

Anemia in women of reproductive age (WRA) is a global health issue closely related to nutritional status. Upper Arm Circumference (UAC) and Body Mass Index (BMI) are common indicators used to assess an individual's nutritional status. The risk of anemia in WRA can impact reproductive health, increasing the risk of infertility, pregnancy complications, fetal growth retardation, and the birth of low birth weight (LBW) babies. This study aims to analyze the relationship between UAC and BMI with the risk of anemia in WRA. A descriptive analytical method with a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional study design was employed. The sample consisted of 88 WRA selected through purposive sampling. UAC was measured using a UAC tape, BMI was calculated from anthropometric measurements, and hemoglobin levels were measured using Easy Touch Hb. Data were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test to examine the relationships between variables. The results showed that 2.3% of WRA had anemia, 11.4% had chronic energy deficiency (CED), 17% had undernutrition, and 14.8% had overnutrition. Bivariate analysis showed no significant relationship between UAC and BMI with the risk of anemia in WRA in the working area of the Tanjung Batu Health Center, Ogan Ilir District. Nevertheless, monitoring nutritional status through UAC and BMI can be an important strategy in preventing anemia in WRA, particularly in pregnancy preparation. Therefore, nutrition education programs and iron supplementation should be intensified.

Abstract

Adolescent obesity is increasing in Indonesia due to lifestyle changes, low physical activity, and high consumption of fast food influenced by social media promotions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between fast food consumption habits and physical activity with obesity among adolescents at SMA Negeri 5 Makassar. This study employs a cross-sectional design with a descriptive-analytical method. The sample consists of 87 students selected through proportional random sampling. Data were obtained through anthropometric measurements and questionnaires on fast food consumption and physical activity, then analyzed using bivariate statistical tests with SPSS version 12 at a 95% confidence level (α=0.05). The results showed that out of 87 respondents, 12 students (13.8%) were obese, while 75 students (86.2%) were not obese. Most respondents had a high fast food consumption pattern (65.5%), and statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between fast food consumption frequency and obesity (p<0.05). Moreover, low physical activity was also correlated with an increased prevalence of obesity. The conclusion of this study is that high fast food consumption and low physical activity contribute to obesity among adolescents. These findings highlight the importance of nutritional education and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among adolescents as a preventive measure against obesity.
