Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is one of the world's most serious health problems. Children are prone to obesity. The current childhood obesity epidemic has been consistently recognized in the scientific literature as a significant predictor of hypertension. Children who are overweight and have hypertension face increased health risks as they grow into adults. In 2019, hypertension in children in Indonesia was 25.9% among senior high children, 29.1% among junior high children, and 40% among elementary children. The obesity rate in children reached 18.8%. Aim: This study aimed to assess gender- and age-related differences in the association between childhood obesity and hypertension. Method: The design of this study was observational and cross-sectional. This study conducted during September until December 2020 in Surabaya City, Rungkut District. This study included 101 respondents aged 9 to 15 years, divided into two age groups: primary school age (9–12 years) and junior high school age (>12–15 years). The Chi-Square statistical test was used to investigate the relationship between childhood obesity and the occurrence of hypertension. Results: Based on the study findings, 11.88% of respondents were obese, and 36.63% had hypertension. Obese children were 3.29 times more likely than normal-weight children to develop hypertension (95% CI: 1.31-8.27, p=0.01). Obesity and hypertension incidence were shown to be significant in female children (OR 4.35, 95% CI: 1.39-13.61, p=0.009) and primary school-aged children (OR 3,5, 95% CI: 1.1-11.13, p=0.03). Conclusion: As a result, knowing the risk factors for hypertension and obesity must be identified in order to prevent them as early as possible.

Abstract

Introduction: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection that is found worldwide, mainly resulting in hepatic and renal complications. The occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in leptospirosis varies from 40-60%, with a mortality rate of 22%. Aims: Identifying potential risk factors and assessing incidents of AKI and liver involvement are useful for managing comorbidities and mortality. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study including one hundred and three clinically confirmed leptospirosis patients admitted to the Teaching Hospital, Rathnapura, Sri Lanka. An interviewer-administered questionnaire and medical records were used to collect data. Biochemical and hematological investigations were performed on admission and at discharge. Results: Farming (30.7%) and mining (31.8%) were the most common occupational exposures. The majority had cuts or bruises and had also been exposed to floodwater or contaminated water. The mean age was 45.5 ± 15.96 years, and most (94.2%) were males. AKI was observed in 26.2% (KDIGO criteria), and liver involvement in 28.16% (National Guidelines of Leptospirosis). Significant increases in hematological and biochemical parameters were observed in AKI patients compared to non-AKI patients (p<0.001). Similar observations were presented in patients with liver involvement compared to those without. Conclusion: Both AKI and liver involvement were observed in 29.6% of the population. Mining and agricultural involvement were identified as the main risk factors for leptospirosis. It is recommended that individuals refrain from entering the field if they have wounds and wear protective footwear before engaging in high-risk occupations.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a critical issue in Indonesia, particularly in Berau, East Kalimantan, where 28.6% of children at Gunung Tabur Health Center were stunted in 2021. Factors contributing to stunting include complementary feeding practices and exclusive breastfeeding, which play an important role. Aims: The study examined the correlation between the prevalence of stunting at the Gunung Tabur Health Center in East Kalimantan and feeding practices, namely exclusive breastfeeding and the use of diverse supplemental foods. Methods: This research used a case-control design, conducted in August-December 2022, and involved 66 moms of infants aged 6 to 24 months in the working area of the Gunung Tabur Health Center, Berau Regency, East Kalimantan. Data were collected using a questionnaire on exclusive breastfeeding and the diversity of complementary foods. For statistical analysis, chi-square analysis was employed. Results: In the initial six months of existence, infants who weren’t exclusively breastfed faced a heightened risk of stunting, whereas 86.4% of exclusively breastfed newborns were unaffected by growth failure. Stunting and exclusive breastfeeding are significantly correlated (p = 0.001). Furthermore, a lack of variety in complementary foods was correlated with growth retardation (p = 0.008), with 90.9% of infants fed a limited range of complementary foods showing growth retardation. Conclusion: The findings indicate a substantial association between exclusive breastfeeding, diverse supplemental foods, and the prevalence of stunting in the operational region of East Kalimantan’s Gunung Tabur Health Center in 2022.

Abstract

Introduction: Health anxiety, also known as hypochondriasis, is prevalent among college students and leads to significant worry and sadness. A study has reported that 3.28% of medical students face this problem. In addition, a survey from South India has documented that 11% are affected. Exercise and mindfulness may help reduce this issue. Aims: This study aimed to reduce the anxiety and hopelessness associated with hypochondriasis among college students via Pilates and deep-breathing practice. Methods: The design was quasi-experimental, with pre- and post-assessments to evaluate how deep-breathing exercises and Pilates might affect anxiety and depression. Convenience sampling was used, and 15 college students aged 18–25 years were included. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was employed to determine the levels of anxiety and depression at the start and end of the 6-week program. Results: Analysis using a paired t-test showed that both anxiety and depression decreased significantly after the session. Anxiety declined from a mean of 16.06 to 7.066 (t = 21.73, P < 0.001), and depression from 11.33 to 5.733 (t = 9.72, P < 0.001). These results indicate that the treatments alleviate the symptoms, allowing the patients to relax. Conclusion: The findings establish that college students with hypochondriasis benefit from diaphragmatic breathing and Pilates. These mental health interventions will enhance coping and reduce depression and anxiety, among other benefits, thereby improving overall health resilience.

Abstract

Introduction: The target success rate of tuberculosis (TB) treatment has yet to reach 90%. Improving the quality of life (QoL) is crucial to support successful TB treatment, with patient-centered care playing a significant role in addressing individual needs and enhancing treatment adherence. Aims: This study aimed to identify determinants associated with poor quality of life among TB patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 102 TB patients in Kupang, selected through convenience sampling. Measurement of quality of life using WHOQOL-BREF by assessing physical, psychological, social relations and environmental aspects. Multivariable binomial logistic regression was performed to identify factors independently associated with poor QoL. Results: 52.90% of TB patients had poor quality of life. TB patients with comorbid history (OR: 4.05; CI 95%: 1.180 - 13.927), BMI (OR: 3.14; CI 95%: 1.195 - 8.250) and treatment phase (OR: 4.93; CI 95%: 1.166 - 20.898) were independently associated with poor quality of life. Conclusion: Comorbid history of HIV or DM, BMI < 18.5 and intensive treatment phase were significant determinants of poor QoL among TB patients. It is important to provide assistance for TB patients based on the categories of factors that affect quality of life. Targeted interventions addressing these factors may reduce the burden of poor QoL and improve TB treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: When used by older adults, smartphones play a crucial role in reducing depression. Increased smartphone usage among older adults has been linked to a significant decrease in depression, with a reduction in symptoms. There is likely heterogeneity within the elderly population regarding the competency of smartphone usage and the duration of daily smartphone use. Moreover, they may face different degrees of depression. Aims: To investigate the associations between latent profile classes (LPCs) and depression. Methods: The study was conducted between December 2022 to June 2023 with 1,105 participants (65–80 years of age). Moreover, the data was collected by completing questionnaires and through face-to-face interviews. Latent profile analysis (LPA) models were used to investigate the LPCs, and multiple logistic regression was utilized to explore the associations between LPCs and depression. Results: There were two LPCs, which were characterized by the following: 1) low smartphone proficiency (39.55%), and 2) high smartphone proficiency (60.45%). Elderly individuals with high degrees of smartphone proficiency had exhibited reduced depression (AOR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.32 – 0.72). Conclusion: There is a relationship between smartphone proficiency and duration of use and depression among elderly people in Thailand. Elderly people with high smartphone proficiency have a lower risk of depression. Policymakers can use the study’s findings to develop targeted policies and interventions that promote and empower seniors to develop smartphone proficiency, potentially reducing depression in the later years of life.
