Abstract

 Diabetes mellitus is a complicated necessitates ongoing medical attention and is a serious health problem that has grown to worrisome proportions. The study aimed to assess the avocado pulp extract’s glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a clinical setting in 2023. From the Klinik IMAN database, patients 18 years with T2DM who had previously been treated with oral hypoglycemic medications were included. The index date—the first day that avocado pulp extract was consumed—was used to collect baseline data. A laboratory measurements analysis was used to evaluate the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood glucose levels after a month of consuming avocado pulp extract and placebo. At one month, the percentage of patients who achieved their goal HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels was determined. Overall, 30 patients were included and had baseline HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels values available. Added avocado flesh extract not associated with improved HbA1c (0.04 [95% CI: -0.22-0.30], p0.05) and fasting blood glucose levels values (0.85 [95% CI: - 24.7-26.4], p0.05) versus baseline at a month. Added avocado flesh extract not associated with improved glycemic control during a month of follow-up in patients with T2DM.

Abstract

  The lack of knowledge of cadres about mental health causes a lack of social support for pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of mental health education for maternal and child health cadres on the knowledge and social support of cadres. This study was conducted with a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design with a control group. Sampling was carried out by cluster random sampling in the city of Surakarta. The intervention group consisted of 45 cadres in the Gajahan health center area and the control group consisted of 47 cadres in the Pajang health center area. While educational interventions use short story video media equipped with infographics. Data on knowledge and social support were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity. Data analysis used independent t-tests and paired t-tests because the data were normally distributed. To analyze the data, this research used free statistical software. The results of this study are there were differences in the scores of mental health knowledge and social support between the intervention group and the control group (p-value 0.001). The intervention effectiveness test was carried out on the difference between the two groups’ pretest and post-test data. This study concluded that mental health education with video media for maternal and child health cadres is effective in increasing mental health knowledge and cadre social support for pregnant women.

Abstract

Depression is a prevalent concern, especially among the elderly who are at risk of falling and rely on walking aids. This study examines the relationship between falls, walking aid usage, and depression in the elderly using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey 5 (IFLS-5). Conducted as a cross-sectional study, it included respondents aged ≥ 60 years. Among the 2909 respondents, the majority of respondents were aged below 75 years (13.4%), women (51.6%), and lower level of education (84.1%) with a prevalence of depression of 24,1%. The research revealed that age, education, and a history of falls were significantly associated with the occurrence of depression (p0.05). Age above 75 years old (OR: 0,653; 95% CI: 0,495-0,862) and higher education level (OR: 0,626; 95% CI: 0,483-0,811) was found to be a protective factor, while a history of falls was found to be a predictive factor to depression in elderly (OR: 1,996; 95%CI: 1,393-2,332). However, the use of walking aids showed no correlation with depression. These findings suggest that while age and education act as protective factors, a history of falls serves as a predictive factor for depression in the elderly.

Abstract

It was known that pesticide applicators are at risk of experiencing neurotoxicity and neurobehavioral alterations related to occupational pesticide exposure. This study aims to evaluate the association between pesticide exposure and the neurobehavioral performance of pesticide applicators in West Java, Indonesia where chemical pesticides were heavily used. We conducted a cross-sectional study in a vegetable farming center in West Java Province, Indonesia. A total of 88 pesticide applicators were included in the study on November 2022. A structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain the participants’ characteristics. We performed the German Q18 questionnaire to screen the neurobehavioral symptoms and the WHO Neurobehavioral Core Test Battery (NCTB) for each participant to identify the neurobehavioral performance among pesticide applicators. Data were summarized descriptively and statistical analysis using chi-square and independent sample t-test was performed. We found that the most common neurobehavioral symptoms were symptoms related to memory, concentration, and fatigue. Poor neurobehavioral performance was found in 29.5% of participants and it was found to be associated with those grouped at age ≥ 44 years and categorized as having a high CEL. The pieces of evidence presented here suggest that neurobehavioral performance was associated with pesticide exposure.

Abstract

Recently, there has been an increase in obesity cases among adolescents in Indonesia with a prevalence rate of 19%, which exceeds the national prevalence of 16%. This was caused by the decrease in physical activities and consumption of fruit and vegetables by 95% of the population during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to foster the development of a Nutrition Education Center (Nutrecent) as a distance learning to promote the consumption of plant-based foods containing polyphenols such as vegetables and fruits. This was a quasi-experiment with three Nutrecent (Nutrition Education Centre) Webinar series and an international webinar. Participants were high school and college students, health workers, and the general public. A total of 654 participants were included in the analysis. The statistical results showed no significant improvement in knowledge due to the Nutrecent webinar series activities, but there was a significant improvement due to the international webinar (p-value 0.001). Online learning is only effective for students and adults with previous knowledge of the webinar topic. Consequently, there is a need to include the importance of consuming plant-based foods in the school curriculum.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the main problems in tropical countries, especially in Indonesia. The existence of conditions that cause decreased immune systems, such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), can lead to an increased risk of death in people with Tuberculosis. This study aimed to analyze the survival of Tuberculosis patients with a history of DM in West Sumatra Province. This research was conducted from April to October 2022. It is a retrospective cohort study with all TB patients recorded in the TB03 SO data register in West Sumatra Province in 2021 (N=8,299). The samples were all candidates who met the research criteria in the data (n=1,125 TB patients). Data analysis was performed using survival analysis. The results showed that 177 TB patients (15.73%) had a history of DM, and 948 (84.27%) did not. The cumulative probability of survival for TB patients based on non-DM cases on day 150 is 0.95. In contrast, the cumulative probability of survival for patients with a history of DM is lower, namely 0.90. The group of TB patients who suffered from DM, male and more than 45 years old, experienced a more significant decrease in survival.
