Abstract

Stunting is a problem in Indonesia. In 2022, Kedaung Wetan and Selapajang Villages in Neglasari sub-district, Tangerang City, were identified as a priority. This study aimed to identify factors associated with stunting among children (6 – 59 months) in these villages. A matched case-control study consisting of 214 children (107 cases and 107 controls) was conducted, with individual matching based on age, sex, and prematurity at birth. Cases were children with height-for-age (H/A) measurement less than -2SD (according to WHO standard), while controls were children with H/A equal to or greater than -2SD. Conditional logistic regression was used for the multivariable analysis. No statistically significant associations were identified between the factors analyzed and the risk of stunting. However, higher maternal education was associated with higher odds of stunting compared to lower maternal education (OR 4.04, 95% CI 0.96 – 16.95), and among children with low birth weight (LBW) compared to non-LBW (OR 4.02, 95% CI 0.38 – 42.25) Nevertheless, the wide confidence intervals indicate statistical uncertainty. Conversely, lower odds of stunting were found among children not exclusively breastfed compared to those exclusively breastfed (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.07 – 2.17) and among those with low birth length compared to normal length (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.43 – 1.01), although none reached statistical significance. The only related variable was clean water (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.03 – 0.75). In conclusion, several factors were explored as potential determinants, although no statistically associations. Future study procedures should be improved to minimize flaws and improve reliability. Keywords: Birth length, Breastfeeding, Exposure to smoke, Maternal education, Stunting

Abstract

The agricultural sector is the primary source of livelihood for communities in Southeast Asia; however, these activities increase the risk of exposure to zoonotic diseases, particularly leptospirosis. Southeast Asia is one of the regions with the highest incidence of leptospirosis in the world. This literature review aims to identify risk factors for leptospirosis among agricultural workers in Southeast Asia. The search for research articles utilized three databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect) using a descriptive approach based on literature review and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 9,800 articles were screened for duplicates, publication year (2016–2025), open access, English language, and analytical study design, leaving 459 articles. These articles were then screened based on exclusion criteria (review articles and those irrelevant to the keywords), resulting in 253 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These articles were further reviewed based on relevant populations and outcomes, resulting in 10 articles to be included in the literature review. The findings of this study revealed variations in risk factors across countries, including the presence of livestock, the presence of waste in the work environment, and the habit of not using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Based on the findings, there is a publication gap in Southeast Asian countries regarding leptospirosis risk factors among agricultural workers, thus necessitating further research in other Southeast Asian countries.

Abstract

Leprosy remains a public health problem in Indonesia. In 2023, Indonesia ranked third globally in the number of leprosy cases, with 14,376 reported cases, after India (107,851 cases) and Brazil (22,773 cases). One of the key strategies for leprosy control in Indonesia is the implementation of preventive measures, including home visits and the administration of chemoprophylaxis using single-dose rifampicin (SDR). Post-exposure prophylaxis plays an important role in preventing leprosy transmission among contacts of confirmed patients. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of leprosy chemoprophylaxis recipients in the Tirtayasa Public Health Center area during 2023–2024. This study was an descriptive observational study. A total of 381 respondents were included using total sampling from close contacts of leprosy patients who received chemoprophylaxis. Data were analyzed descriptively. The majority of chemoprophylaxis recipients were aged ≥15 years (328 individuals; 86.1%). Most recipients were female (198 individuals; 52.0%). The highest number of recipients was found in Tirtayasa Village (81 individuals; 21.3%). Based on the type of contact, most recipients had neighbor contact (237 individuals; 62.2%). The most commonly administered rifampicin dose was 600 mg (326 individuals; 85.6%). No adverse effects were reported among all recipients following rifampicin administration. Most leprosy chemoprophylaxis recipients were aged ≥15 years and female. The majority of recipients resided in Tirtayasa Village and had neighbor contact with leprosy patients. Rifampicin at a dose of 600 mg was the most frequently administered, and no adverse effects were observed among all recipients. Keywords: Characteristics, Chemoprophylaxis, Leprosy
