Abstract

Introduction: The existence of dating apps as a form of technological advancement has given individuals new ways to search for a romantic partner. Twenty-five percent of newlywed couples met through dating apps, while 40% of unmarried individuals were looking for partners online. Behind the search for a romantic partner through an app, some risks keep track of its users, which is associated with increased sexual activity. The use of dating apps for adolescent users should be a concern, given that, in the adolescent phase, initiation into sexual activity has become one of the frequently emerging aspects. Aims: To find out the motivation for using dating apps among adolescents aged 18-24 years old. Methods: The users’ motivation of the dating apps focuses on three aspects: Relationship Seeking, Sexual Experience, and Flirting which are categorized into low and high motivation. The study used a quantitative approach with data collection through online questionnaires on 151 respondents. This study used  chi-square as its analytical tool. Result: The study showed that, of the three motivations, the motivation to find a lover was the most common  among the participants. Regarding the socio-demographic characteristics, sex  and the frequency of use of dating apps show significant association with sexual experience and flirting motivation. Age and region are associated with relationship-seeking and flirting motivation, respectively. Interestingly, relationship status is associated with sexual experience motivation. Conclusions: The study recommends increasing the provision of reproductive health information to minimize the risk of dating app use among adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of pre-metabolic syndrome components, such as abdominal obesity and elevated blood pressure, in teenagers is increasing yearly. One of the modifiable risk factors to pre-metabolic syndrome is lifestyle, including dietary intake, physical activity, and sleep duration. Based on preliminary study, 80% (12 of 15) students were found to have high blood pressure. Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between nutrition and lifestyle factors with pre-metabolic syndrome in high school students. Methods: This study was cross-sectional design with 90 adolescents as respondents. Instruments used in this study were sphygmomanometer and waist ruler to measure blood pressure and waist circumference; 3x24 hours of food record and SQ-FFQ to observe dietary intake; modified PSQI to assess sleep duration; and modified IPAQ to know physical activity score in respondents. All data were statistically analyzed with Spearman correlation test. Results: The findings of this study were fat intake, fulfillment of fat requirement (% of fat requirement), natrium intake, and sleep duration were significantly associate with pre-metabolic syndrome occurrence in adolescents (p<0.05). Coefficient correlation showed positive for fat intake, % of fat requirement, and natrium intake (respectively 0.705; 0.511; 0.854) and negative for sleep duration (-0.819). Conclusion: there are association between fat intake, fulfillment of fat requirement (% of fat requirement), natrium intake, and sleep duration with pre-metabolic syndrome in adolescents. This study findings may be used as evaluation for government nutrition programs for adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Thinners are toxic substances used as organic solvents. Adolescents (11%) use thinners as inhalants regularly, which is linked to brain damage and learning deficits. This study looked at the effects of thinner inhalation in adult male mice and dexamethasone's anti-inflammatory effects on pyramidal neurons and glia. Aim: To investigate dexamethasone's anti-inflammatory effects on nitrocellulose inhalation. Methods: Forty mice were used; group one served as a control; group two was exposed to 1200ppm nitrocellulose in a whole-body inhalation chamber for 42 days; group three was injected with 2.5mg/kg dexamethasone twice weekly; and group four received nitrocellulose inhalation daily and dexamethasone twice weekly. Neurobehavioral study for learning and memory was conducted before sacrifice. Brains were harvested and processed for histology and biochemical activities of MDA and IL-6. Analysis of data was done using Graphpad Prism 8.4.3 with level of significance at P<0.05. Results: Indices of learning and memory in the nitrocellulose group were reduced escape latency and duration spent in the quadrant but not in the control or dexamethasone group (P=0.009). The MDA and IL-6 levels were higher in the nitrocellulose group compared to control and dexamethasone groups (P=0.02; P=0.03, respectively). Density of pyramidal neurons in layer 5 and 6 was significantly lower in the nitrocellulose treated groups compared to control and dexamethasone (P<0.0001). Conclusion: Dexamethasone reduced neuronal and glial cell damages in the pre-frontal cortex, accompanied with spatial learning and memory improvement.

Abstract

Introduction: Increasing physical activity levels in middle-aged and older adults is a critical public health agenda, as regular physical activity reduces morbidity, healthcare costs, and chronic disease risks by up to 90%. Developing effective physical activity programs, however, requires comprehension of factors influencing physical activity behavior. Aims: This research aimed to develop a predictive model of social cognitive influences on moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in this demographic. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 118 participants, 76% of whom were female. Social cognitive factors, which included self-efficacy, outcome expectations (physical, social, and self-evaluation), self-regulation (goal setting and planning), and social support (from family and friends) regarding physical activity, were assessed using validated self-reported questionnaires. A 7-day Physical Activity Recall interview was conducted to measure MVPA. Data were analyzed using bivariate correlations and stepwise multiple linear regressions, adjusted for sex and age. Results: All social cognitive measures showed moderate to strong correlations with MVPA (r = 0.43-0.79). The regression model, which included self-efficacy, physical outcome expectations, planning, and social support, explained 77% of the variance in MVPA. Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of strengthening these social cognitive factors to encourage more physically activity among middle-aged and older adults in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Consuming a minimum of 400 g of fruits and vegetables (FV) daily fulfills nutritional needs and diminishes the possibility of getting specific non-communicable diseases. In low or middle-income countries, about 80% of people consume fruits and vegetables below the WHO's recommendations, including Indonesia, where 93.6% of the population does so. In Indonesia, the annual per capita consumption of FV is only 35 kg; however, in Maluku, it is far lower at 7.78 kg per capita annually, below the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)’s objective of 75 kg per year. Aims: This study aims to identify the determinants that impact family behavior regarding FV consumption. Methods: This study took a cross-sectional approach. The purposive sampling chose a total of 398 families. The study employed a questionnaire that has passed validity and reliability tests, with Cronbach alpha >0.8. Results: The findings revealed that 192 (48%) respondents had enough knowledge, 253 (63.2%) had good access to fruits and vegetables, and 198 (49.5%) demonstrated good behavior. Furthermore, the chi-square test revealed that knowledge and family consumption of fruits and vegetables are correlated (p-value 0.001) as well as between FV availability and family consumption behavior (p-value 0.036). Conclusions: The study's findings serve as a road map for local governments, health institutions, and related parties seeking to ensure the availability of fruits and vegetables to meet the community's consumption demands. It also focuses on family-centered education to enhance FV consumption behavior.

Abstract

Introduction: In Indonesia, obesity numbers increased from 10.5% in 2007 to 14.8% in 2013 and 21.8% in 2018. Very low calorie diets (VLCD) are currently gaining popularity to reduce weight, but can lead to inadequate nutrition and potentially negative health consequences. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate VLCD effect on weight loss and overall health outcomes. Method: Data were sourced from research journal articles in databases like Crossref, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, published within the last 10 years either Indonesian or English language. Only studies involving adult subjects with minimum overweight nutrition status (BMI > 23 kg/m2) were included. Result: Ten from 1063 studies qualified the selection criteria. VLCD success in weight loss depends on treatment type, duration, physical activity, and genetics. Longer and fewer-calorie VLCDs lead to more significant weight reduction, but maintaining long-term success requires a structured weight management program. VLCD benefits include improved insulin sensitivity, reduced fat, and better heart function, but it may have temporary negative effects on metabolism, aortic elasticity, constipation, sensitivity to cold, headache, and dizziness. Conclusion: VLCDs can be an effective approach in achieving significant weight reduction and positive health outcomes, especially if combined with long-term weight maintenance programs and appropriate follow-up treatment. However, the decision to undergo VLCD should be made with wisely considering individual health conditions and in consultation with dietitian or health professionals, as there are potential side effects and factors that may influence long-term success.

Abstract

Introduction: Smoking behavior is an action that can harm the smoker himself and can even harm others (passive smokers). Someone who is exposed to cigarettes for a long time will result in health problems and disease, Out of 800 junior high school youth in Kulon Progo, 5.3% are smokers. Aims: To determine the factors that influence directly or indirectly on the behavior of not smoking in adolescents. Methods: This case-control study was conducted in Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia. The samples were 400 teenagers, 200 teenagers who smoked (cases) and 200 other teens who didn't smoke (controls). Data were collected using a questionnaire filled out by teenagers who are still active in school in junior high and high school. There are six variables studied including knowledge, media exposure, non-smoking attitudes, self-efficacy, non-smoking intentions and non-smoking behavior. Data were analyzed multivariately using STATA 13 Result:   There are two variables (intention and self-efficacy) that have a direct influence on adolescents' non-smoking behavior, while the other three variables (knowledge, media exposure and attitude) have an indirect influence on adolescents' non-smoking behavior. Conclusion: Intention variable has the biggest contribution in influencing adolescent behavior not to smoke.

Abstract

Introduction: In 2019, the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adolescents in Indonesia increased to 18.8%. Aim: To assess health risk behaviours among Indonesian students in both urban and rural areas. Methods: This study's survey items, were developed using items questionnaire that focuses on smoking, eating, socioeconomic status (SES), and social relationships among teenagers aged 14 to 18. The study used two separate, demographically and culturally varied school-based populations. Results: The study found that teenagers in urban areas were more likely to smoke cigarettes, whilst adolescents in rural areas were more likely to practice healthy eating habits. Significant disparities in socioeconomic level (P 0.05) and social interactions (P 0.05) were also discovered, which may have an impact on the health risk behaviours seen in teenagers. The development of focused therapies and public health initiatives to address teenage health risk behaviours will benefit from these findings. Conclusion: More study is necessary to further understand the relationship between risk factors and health behaviours in both urban and rural teenagers in Indonesia. This will make it possible to find efficient preventive techniques and plans adapted to pupils' particular environments and cultural backgrounds.

Abstract

Introduction: Teens as young as 15-24 are vulnerable to reproductive system infections due to poor teenage vulva hygiene, exacerbated by a lack of understanding of the vulva's functioning. According to estimates, teenagers worldwide report reproductive channel infections. Previous research revealed that 46% of teenagers had poor reading skills. Aim: The goal of this study is to assess the association between healthy habits and vulva cleanliness in teenage girls. Methods: The study employs quantitative approaches, with 289 responses from high school students obtained by proportionally organized random sample processes. The HLS-EU-16Q Indonesian instruments and the vulva hygiene behavior scale have been approved as reliable. Results: This study discovered a significant relationship between health literacy and vulva hygiene practices (p-value= 0.05). Furthermore, 46% of the subjects have adequate health literacy, whereas 58.8% practice intermediate vulva hygiene activities. Conclusion: Proper health literacy can impact how teenage girls clean up their vulva. Researchers propose that young women can improve their vulva hygiene by seeking information, undergoing therapy, and consulting with health care providers.
