Abstract

Lung function abnormalities can be caused by smoking habits or air pollution. Sanitary landfills can produce ammonia, which can cause lung function abnormalities. This study aimed to determine a relationship between ammonia exposure based on the length of work and lung function abnormalities among traditional scavengers at the Sumur Batu Landfill, Bekasi City, West Java Province, Indonesia. This analytical observational study applied quantitative methods and cross-sectional design. A total of 85 scavengers were selected using purposive sampling from March to May 2023. Data was obtained using a respondent characteristics questionnaire, spirometry, and spectrophotometer and analyzed using the Cox Regression Model. Most respondents (54.12%) had lung function abnormalities, and 79.17% had worked ≥8.5 years. The adjPR of ammonia exposure based on the length of work to lung function abnormalities was 3.413 (95% CI 1.51—7.71). There were confounding variables between ammonia exposure based on the length of work and lung function abnormalities: smoking status and lung disease record. In conclusion, ammonia exposure based on the length of work strongly correlates with lung function abnormalities in scavengers after adjusting for the lung disease record and smoking behavior.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) in Indonesia is still a health problem. The TB prevalence in Indonesia ranks second in the world after India in 2023. Regional factors, inadequate healthcare facilities, and limited resources (financial, human, and infrastructure) are challenges requiring innovation to help the government control TB. TB eradication efforts need to be made with a comprehensive and effective approach. One method used is to look at the vast territory of Indonesia, therefore, mapping the TB disease vulnerability is a highly recommended method. The use of a Geographic Information System is expected to help map the TB vulnerability areas in Indonesia. Given the existence of several epidemiological, socio-geographic, and environmental factors influencing TB, the question arises of how to map TB vulnerability areas in Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional design, secondary data was collected from several sources, and a vulnerability analysis was performed by considering several socio-environmental epidemiological variables. Furthermore, after the analysis, the TB area vulnerability category would be obtained along with a map of TB vulnerability areas in Indonesia according to regional and district analysis units. This study produces a TB susceptibility index and map in Indonesia for the regions of Sumatra, Java-Bali, and other regions.

Abstract

Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URI) is an acute infection caused by viruses, fungi, and bacteria. Smoking habit at home is a risk factor for URI in infants. This study aimed to determine a relationship between smoking at home and the incidence of URI in infants. This study was conducted the fourth week of February 2010 until the third week of April 2010 in Kampar District, Indonesia. This analytical study used a case-control design and cluster random sampling. The samples comprised 162 cases and 162 controls, infants aged 6-12 months. The cases were 162 infants aged 6-12 months suffering from URI within the last month. The controls included mothers visiting primary health care with infants aged 6-12 months and not suffering from URI within the last month. Data analysis took a logistic regression. This study showed that smoking habit at home had an Odds Ratio of 2.68 times (95%CI: 1.51-4.81) for experiencing URI compared to infants whose families did not have such habit. Health promotion of the dangers of smoking at home through a family approach and anti-smoking campaigns must be more intensively carried out among all Indonesian families to control URI.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a dangerous and highly contagious disease. Global cases have increased since, and Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest number of TB cases. This study aimed to prevent TB transmission by analyzing air contamination. Air samples were taken from three primary health cares (PHCs) in Surabaya City, East Java Province, Indonesia, and cultured in Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) media. Of the 108 air samples collected, 36 came from the waiting room, 36 from the examination room, and 36 from the laboratory room. As a result, the waiting room (50%), examination room (16.7%), and laboratory room (2.7%) were declared positive. In short, the air in the three PHCs contained mycobacterium tuberculosis. There is a need for room management to prevent TB transmission.

Abstract

Passive smoking is a significant risk factor for stunting in children, highlighting the urgent need for effective public health measures. This study aimed to investigate the association between passive smoking and stunting in children aged 0 months-7 years. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple online databases, including PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct, Willey Online Library, Sage Journal, Cambridge University Press, and Oxford Academic. The quality of included articles reporting observational studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) checklist, presenting data through narrative synthesis. Findings suggested that passive smoking significantly contributed to the risk of stunting in children. Most reviewed articles were from low-income countries and reported studies with various age groups, demographic characteristics, and self-reported measures. Establishing a causal relationship remains challenging, with 99% of these studies using a cross-sectional design. Based on these findings, further study into this relationship using more comprehensive study designs is necessary. Interventions for mothers and children experiencing stunting should also be prioritized to reduce risk factors and strengthen protective factors.
