Abstract

Introduction: Understanding the influence of athletic participation on body composition is essential for public health and educational policies promoting active lifestyles among college students. Previous research indicates that athletes typically exhibit approximately 21% lower body fat percentage compared to non-athletes, emphasizing the advantages of regular exercise and proper dietary habits. Aims: To examine the influence of athletic participation on body composition among college students. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study design was adopted to recruit 120 male college volunteers aged 17-24 years. Based on their level of physical activity participation, students were classified as either athletes or non-athletes. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using Jamovi (version2.5.3) and Gnumeric spreadsheet (version 1.12.50). Results: The study revealed significant differences between collegiate athletes and non-athletes in endomorphy (p<0.001) and % of body fat (p<0.001). Athletes displayed an ectomorphic mesomorph profile (2.87–3.94–3.12), reflecting leaner, muscular physiques due to training. Conversely, non-athletes leaned toward a mesomorphic endomorph profile (4.96–4.27–2.44) with higher body fat. These findings emphasize training's influence on body composition, with percentile rankings offering a framework for customizing athletic programs and morphological assessments. Conclusion: Athletic participation and regular physical activity significantly influence body composition in college students, confirming their role in promoting improved health outcomes and advancing the understanding of diverse physical attributes within this population.

Abstract

Introduction: Hearing loss is identified to impact 466 million people globally, with workplace noise contributing to 16% of adult hearing function impairment. To address the challenges, using personal protective equipment, such as earmuffs, has become a practical solution. Aims: This study aims to analyze impact of using earmuffs on hearing function impairment and fatigue among weaving workers at PT IIPT Surakarta. Methods: The quasi-experimental study used the time series design method, comprising 33 weaving machine operators. Data were collected over 6 working days, namely the first day before the intervention and the following 5 days during the intervention. A questionnaire with tested validity and reliability was used to assess hearing function impairment and fatigue. Results: The results showed that there was a significant variation in the average scores for hearing function impairment and fatigue during the 6 days of earmuff use. Furthermore, the lowest average score was recorded on the first day, while the highest was recorded on the sixth day. Conclusion: This study shows that earmuffs designed to protect workers from the harmful impact of noise increase the average levels of hearing function impairment and fatigue. Consequently, further studies are recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of the sound-absorbing materials used in earmuffs, as different materials can offer varying benefits in absorbing various sources of sound.

Abstract

Introduction: It is estimated that two-thirds of hypertension cases occur in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMICs), and 46% of individuals with hypertension are unaware of their condition. Early detection and effective management of hypertension are crucial for reducing its burden. Aims: This study aims to determine the progression time, the status of hypertension, and the factors that influence it. Methods: This study employed a longitudinal design. Secondary data was collected by 5 Poksila at the Kedungmundu Public Health Center in Semarang. This data was taken from January 2022 to August 2023 as 20 periods and analyzed using survival analysis. Results: A total of 332 participants were included in the analysis. Most of the participants were women (88.66%),  aged 45-59 years old (47.29%), obese (40.6%), and at risk due to waist circumference (77.01%). As many as 66.27% of participants experienced an increase in hypertension status from the previous month. The transition from normal blood pressure to pre-hypertension was the most significant, occurring in 61.82% of participants. The survival rate was 50% in the elderly male group (7.31±4.82 months) and in the female group (5.75±4.25 months). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that sex was associated with the progression of hypertension (HR 95% CI = 1.67 (1.03-2.69), p=0.03). Conclusion: Elderly males had a longer survival rate compared to females. Females are at higher risk of progression of hypertension. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to manage hypertension effectively based on sex and other risk factors. Routine monitoring for the elderly is essential as a primary preventive measure for hypertension.

Abstract

Introduction: Allergic respiratory disease (ARD) affects 10-30% of the global population, especially children, and is frequently triggered by house dust mites (HDM). Gresik, a metropolitan area in East Java with high air pollution, contribute to an increased prevalence of ARD symptoms. Aim: This study aimed to identify risk factors and behaviours associated with HDM allergies in children, using a questionnaire-based approach. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to July 2023 at Petrokimia Gresik Hospital. Participants included children aged six months and older with chronic cough or rhinitis. HDM allergy diagnosis was confirmed via skin prick test (SPT) or specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) test only after excluding other differential diagnoses. Data on ARD symptoms and HDM-related risk factors were collected through a validated questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression model with significance set at p<0.05. Results: Of 344 eligible children, 261 completed the study. Children with HDM allergy (22.6%) were notably older (5.5 ± 2.5 years) compared to those without HDM allergy (4.5 ± 2.5 years; p=0.001). In the multivariable analysis, family history of atopy was independently associated with higher odds of HDM allergy (AOR 2.72; 95% CI 1.27–5.79; p = 0.010), whereas increasing age was associated with lower odds (AOR 0.989; 95% CI 0.980–0.998; p = 0.013). Conclusion: Family history of atopy showed a stronger association with HDM allergy, while increasing age was inversely associated. Environmental factors were not significant after adjustment. However, multicentre studies are essential to validate these findings.

Abstract

Introduction: Globally, tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major public health challenge, especially among diabetic patients, who are 15% more likely to develop TB compared to the general population. Aims: This study aimed to determine the median time from the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) among T2DM patients and to identify factors associated with this duration. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the community hospital, Nakhon Sri Thammarat Province from 2019 to 2023. The study included 105 T2DM patients, including 35 patients with PTB and 70 patients without PTB during the follow-up period. The ratio among subjects was 1:2. Data were retrieved and extracted from electronic medical records. The outcome was time from T2DM onset to PTB diagnosis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the median time. Cox’s model was used to identify risk factors associated with PTB, presented as hazard ratios (HR) and 95 percent confidence interval (95%CI). Results: The median time was 8.06 years (95%CI: 1.50-8.68). The factors associated with PTB diagnosis were male sex (AHR = 2.14, 95%CI: 1.06-4.32), smoking (AHR = 3.62, 95%CI: 1.50-8.68), household contact with TB patients (AHR = 12.04, 95%CI: 2.25-64.22), and residence in crowded communities (AHR = 3.91, 95%CI: 1.55-9.84), after accounted for alcohol drinking. Conclusion: The strengthened surveillance and targeted health intervention should be launched and addressed the factors including smoking, household contact with TB patients, and residing in the crowded communities in order to reducing PTB among T2DM patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Access to healthcare remains a challenge for the Sarawak–West Kalimantan border communities. The close proximity to neighbouring countries and uneven healthcare infrastructure often lead these communities to seek care across the border. A previous study revealed that nearly 60% to 70 % of Malaysia’s incoming patients came from Indonesia. Aims: This study aimed to identify and compare the characteristics of Malaysia’s and Indonesia’s healthcare access policies related to Sarawak–West Kalimantan border communities. Methods: This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach and conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 40 participants, including government officials, community leaders, and residents from 12 locations along the border. Data collection was conducted between October 2023 and May 2024, and the collected data were analysed through inductive thematic analysis. Results: Healthcare mobility between Sarawak and West Kalimantan relies on informal community trust over standardized frameworks. Malaysia’s institutionalized outreach contrasts with Indonesia’s army-assisted delivery and insurance schemes. Divergent border procedures and non-binding bilateral platforms like Sosek Malindo further limit effective cooperation, highlighting a significant lack of harmonized enforcement and policy integration. Conclusion: Sustainable cross-border healthcare governance requires formalised bilateral standard operating procedures encompassing emergency mobility, disease surveillance, and referral systems, complemented by active community involvement. Strengthening these mechanisms would transform cross-border healthcare from an informal, ad hoc practice into an institutionalised framework that ensures equitable and continuous care for border communities.

Abstract

Introduction: The global epidemic of COVID-19 caused enormous disruptions in communities and institutions around the world. 6.71% of people in Thailand became infected. Aims: This qualitative study aimed to investigate the various impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic on elderly day care services in Bangkok, Thailand. Methods: Data were gathered by in-depth interviews and focus group. A total of 40 participants were involved, comprising elderly individuals, their family members, caregivers, and day care center managers. Results: The results showed that the pandemic had an impact on elderly day care services in four major domains: (1) prevention of infectious diseases; (2) physical and mental health care, showing a decrease in regular health monitoring and an increase in psychological distress among the elderly; (3) social isolation, showing a notable decrease in social engagement and a rise in isolation; and (4) caregivers, caregivers should have knowledge in physical health, mental health, and infection prevention. Conclusion: In conclusion, in order to improve the resilience of senior care systems in the face of upcoming public health emergencies, our findings point to the necessity of adaptive care models that include mental health assistance, creative forms of social interaction (such as digital technologies), and modern caregiver.

Abstract

Introduction: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition precipitated by exposure to trauma, which manifests as enduring psychological distress. The prevalence of PTSD is around 42.2% among Afghans citizen (Kovess-Masfety et al., 2021).  Understanding the cognitive implications of PTSD is crucial for comprehending its impact on individuals' day-to-day functioning. Aim: This study explores the the cognitive mechanisms underlying post-traumatic stress disorder. Methods: The study employed 262 participants, investigating the effect of PTSD symptom severity on prospective memory (PM). Participants were categorized based on citizenship and PTSD symptom severity, resulting in two groups: 97 with low PTSD symptoms and 165 with high symptoms. These results underscore the intricate relationship between war-related traumas, citizenship status, and cognitive functioning. According to the study, Afghan students exposed to war conditions showed cognitive decline associated with PTSD. Results: The study results indicated that Afghan students have poorer PM performance, and the discrepancy is magnified when PTSD symptoms are taken into account. In particular, the performance gap was more evident among Afghan students experiencing high levels of PTSD symptoms compared to those with low symptom levels. Significant main effects of memory and citizenship indicated diverse cognitive responses across memory conditions and substantial performance score differences between citizenships. Main effects of PCLLH underscored symptom severity's influence on cognitive functioning, while the Citizenship-PCLLH interaction revealed a nuanced relationship not uniform across groups. Conclusions: The study enriches our understanding of cognitive outcomes in trauma-exposed populations, emphasizing the multifaceted interplay of memory, citizenship, and PTSD symptom severity.
