Abstract

Early childhood dental caries constitutes a major public health problem in Indonesia, with an exceptionally high disease burden. Data from the 2018 National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) reported a caries prevalence of 81.5% among children aged 3–4 years, increasing to 92.6% among those aged 5–9 years, placing Indonesia among countries with the highest prevalence globally. This study aimed to analyze risk factors associated with dental caries in children, including sex, dietary habits, toothbrushing practices, parental education level, and history of preterm birth. A case–control study design was employed at the Dental and Oral Hospital of Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang, involving 88 children aged 3 10 years selected through purposive sampling. The case group consisted of 44 children diagnosed with dental caries based on medical records (ICD-10: K02), while the control group comprised 44 children without dental caries (ICD-10: Z01.2). Data were collected using validated questionnaires and medical records. Respondent characteristics indicated that the case group was predominantly male, aged 6–10 years, and exhibited poor dietary and toothbrushing habits. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. The results demonstrated that poor dietary habits were the most dominant risk factor for dental caries (OR = 98.967; p < 0.001), followed by toothbrushing practices, which remained statistically significant in the final model. The predictive model showed that children with poor dietary habits and inadequate toothbrushing practices had a 99.37% probability of developing dental caries. These findings underscore the importance of early screening and behavioral interventions targeting dietary practices and oral hygiene among children, supported by collaborative efforts involving parents, schools, and healthcare services to reduce the prevalence of childhood dental caries.

Most of the respondents in this study were female, elderly, and had high education levels, low knowledge, and bad behavior. The results of the study stated that statistically there was a direct influence of education level (p-value =<0.001), income (p-value =<0.001) and lifestyle behavior (p-value =<0.001) on the incidence of hypertension. Statistically, there is an indirect influence of knowledge (p-value=<0.001), education level (p-value=0.001), income (p value =<0.001) through lifestyle behaviors on the incidence of hypertension in Semarang City. Variables of knowledge about hypertension (p-value=0.772) has no direct effect on the incidence of hypertension. Lifestyle behavior has the greatest effect (25%) in influencing the incidence of hypertension in Semarang City. The conclusion of this study is that there is a direct influence of education, income and lifestyle on the incidence of hypertension, and there is an indirect influence between knowledge, education level, and income through behavior on the incidence of hypertension in Semarang City.Suggestions for agencies and the community to increase preventive efforts, especially lifestyle behavior.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and remains a major public health concern worldwide. Although the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia declined from 34.1% in 2018 to 30.8% in 2023, this figure still falls short of the national Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target of 25%. The prevalence of hypertension increases with age, recorded at 13.2% among individuals aged 18–24 years, 45.3% among those aged 45–54 years, and as high as 63.8% among individuals aged 75 years and older. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the incidence of hypertension among the elderly in Boyolali Regency. The research employed an analytical observational design with a case control approach. Data were collected from December 2024 to February 2025, involving 164 respondents consisting of 82 elderly individuals in the case group and 82 in the control group. The variables examined included sex, family history, marital status, physical activity, obesity, smoking habits, and coffee consumption. Univariate analysis was used to describe the basic characteristics of the respondents, while bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test was conducted to examine the relationship between the independent variables and the incidence of hypertension. The study findings revealed significant associations between family history, marital status, physical activity, obesity, and coffee consumption with the incidence of hypertension among the elderly in Boyolali Regency.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading global health problem and a major cause of cardiovascular and renal complications. In low- and middle-income countries, including Timor-Leste, its prevalence continues to rise despite ongoing prevention programs. This study examines the factors influencing hypertension in Lautem Madya City, Timor-Leste, focusing on behavioral, cultural, and socio-demographic determinants. This study uses a qualitative approach with a cross-sectional was applied using data from the Lautem Health Office. Associations between lifestyle behaviors, cultural practices, and structural barriers with hypertension prevalence were analyzed. Using a cross-sectional analytic design and Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), 340 adult respondents (170 with hypertension and 170 without) were surveyed between January and April 2025. Data were analyzed revealed that age, gender, family history, education, diet (high salt and meat intake), smoking, alcohol consumption, limited healthcare access, and poor family support were significantly associated with hypertension (p < 0.05). Cultural practices emerged as a central factor, directly increasing hypertension risk and mediating the effects of lifestyle behaviors such as diet, smoking, and alcohol use. These findings indicate that hypertension prevention in Lautem Municipality requires culturally tailored and family-centered interventions supported by improved primary healthcare systems. This study contributes empirical evidence on the interaction of lifestyle, social, and cultural determinants of hypertension in a low- and middle-income country context.
