Consumption pattern of iced beverages of the consumer in Bogor and their awareness of food safetyBackground: Iced beverage will be potentially contaminated by microbes if it is prepared and handled by a lack of sanitary and hygiene. The level of risk depends on exposure affected by the prevalence and concentration of microorganisms, also the consumption patterns.Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the iced beverages consumption number in Bogor using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and to know the level of knowledge and awareness of food safety.Method: The survey used 300 respondents, including males and females, which classified in three groups of age and three groups of income level also the final level of education.Results: Most of the respondents were frequently consumed flavored iced beverages (52%) compared to other types of iced beverages and the average number of daily consumption was 182 mL/person. Based on compare means analysis, the amount of iced beverages consumption was not affected by age and gender but was influenced by income. The level of knowledge and awareness of food safety of consumers in Bogor was good (>80%). Based on Chi-Square analysis, the level of knowledge and awareness of consumers were not affected by age, gender, or final education. However, when viewed from the percentage of correct answers, the main factor of the level of knowledge and awareness of consumers was the final level of education.Conclusion: The amount of iced beverages consumption was not affected by age and gender but influenced by income, and the average consumption was 135 mL/person/day. The level of knowledge and awareness of food safety of consumers in Bogor was good (>80%).

Background: Chronic diseases have significant impacts on health systems worldwide and are a leading cause of death. Early diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases are the best ways to reduce mortality and morbidity. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate public access to preventive services for chronic diseases in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A survey of university hospital visitors was conducted in 2019. Participants were randomly selected and asked to fill a 16-question survey, including demographics, health care utilization, and type of preventive services. The chi-square test (SPSS) was used to identify any significant association between age and gender using the variable of preventive screening or counseling. Results: The majority of individuals who completed the survey (250 participants) were young, married, and male bachelor’s degree holders. About 71% of the participants received counseling services for either smoking, physical activity, weight, diet, or sleeping. More than half (58%) had undergone screening services, including breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, hypertension, or weight management. Chi-square analysis showed that females had a significant (P < 0.01) positive statistical relationship with the utilization of diabetes and breast cancer screening services, while males were more associated (P < 0.01) with smoking and weight-related counseling than females. Conclusions: The study demonstrated an insufficient use of preventive services and that sociodemographic differences (such as age and gender) could influence the utilization of various preventive services. Females were significantly positively associated with breast cancer and diabetes-related preventive services as these diseases are highly prevalent among females. Public education and awareness campaigns are needed to broadcast the importance of preventive services and promote better understanding and management of chronic diseases.

Radiographic Mandibular Indices serve as easy and relatively cheap tools for evaluating bone mineralization. Objectives: To examine the effect of age and gender on three mandibular indices: the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), the mandibular ratio (MR) and the mandibular cortical index (MCI), among Libyan population. Methods: The three indices were measured on 317 digital (OPGs) of adult humans (155 males, 162 females). The sample was divided into six age groups (from 18-25 years through 56-65 years). The measurements were analyzed for interactions with age and sex, using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Studies) software version no. 22. The tests employed were two way ANOVA, the unpaired T-test and chi-square test. Results: The mean PMI fluctuated between 0.37 s.d. 0.012 and 0.38 s.d. 0.012. among the sixth age groups. One-way ANOVA statistical test revealed no significant of age on PMI. On the other hand gender variation has effect on PMI, since independent sample t-test disclosed that the difference between the male and female PMI means statistically significant. ANOVA test showed that the means of MR among age groups showed a negative correlation i.e. MR mean declined from 3.01 in 18-25 age groups to 2.7 in 55-65 age groups. In contrary, the gender showed no effect on MR according two sample t-test at p> 0.05. In regards with MCI, statistical analysis showed that it affected by age that is C1 was decreasing by age while C2 and C3 were increased by age. Using chi square test the result indicated that there is a significant difference among the different age group and the two genders in MCI readings. Conclusion: PMI was influenced significantly by age but minimally by the gender. MR is not affected by gender but has a negative correlation with age. MCI is affected by both age and gender

Abstract Child maltreatment is a severe Public Health issue. To understand its associated factors, our study analyzed 14.564 cases of child maltreatment recorded in the state of Rio Grande do Sul between 2010 and 2014. In our study, we analyzed immediate contextual aspects (child’s gender and developmental stage, perpetrator’s gender, family relationship between the victim and the perpetrator) and intermediate aspects (health professionals’ response). Chi-square analysis showed that girls were more likely to be vulnerable to sexual and psychological abuse, especially in middle childhood. Boys, on the other hand, were more likely to experience neglect in infancy and physical abuse in middle childhood. Males were the main perpetrators. Our results are discussed, based on a theoretical review of the sociocultural conceptions of child developmental characteristics, parenting practices, and gender roles. We suggest changes in the notification process and case referral.

Background: This study was based on over 30,000 respondents who completed General Social Surveys between 1978 and 2002. Aims: We approached these respondents prospectively, comparing and contrasting the responses of those who subsequently died by suicide (N = 141) with those who died from all other causes (N = 9,115). Method: We employed chi-square and logistic regression analyses of important demographic confounders to test for statistically significant differences between suicide decedents and all other decedents. Results: Suicide decedents died on average 2 years sooner than all other decedents. When covariates of age and gender were applied, suicide decedents exhibited greater acceptance of suicide for dealing with various adverse life circumstances, were more likely to have been the gun owners in their households, lived in regions where gun ownership was more commonplace, and held less strong religious beliefs and less of a belief of an afterlife. Conclusion: The observed affinity between attitudes of suicide acceptability and completed suicide suggests a potential for creating a meaningful assessment tool to identify those positioned at the extreme end of the suicide risk continuum.

8056 Background: The incidence of thin melanoma (≤ 1mm) continues to increase. The purpose of this study was to characterize the incidence and prognosis of thin melanoma among the various age groups. We analyzed the records of 15,267 patients diagnosed with melanoma of these we were able to identify 5573 patients with thin melanoma (≤ 1mm). Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken to identify patients with thin melanoma (<1mm) treated at all the Northern California Kaiser Permanente facilities. All patients received their treatment between January 1998 and December 2004. Univariate and multivariate analyses of predictive factors were evaluated with the log-rank test and Cox regression. In addition chi-square test of relevant clinicopathologic factors determined which factors were predictive of overall survival (OS). Results: Mean age was 55 years (range 8–101). Mean follow-up was 74 months (range 3–209) and 54% were male. Primaries were on the trunk (34%), lower extremities (19%), upper extremities (26%), or head/neck (20%). Mean thickness was 0.4 ± 0.25 mm. The most common histology was superficial spreading (88%). The overall 5 and 10 year survival were 89 and 79, respectively. By univariate analysis age, sex, location and histology were predictive of OS however by multivariate analysis only age and sex were predictive of OS. The female/male ratio was 2 in patients diagnosed before the 3rd decade, and this ratio approached 1 in the mid-5th decade. However, the female/male ratio was 0.5 among patients diagnosed with melanoma in their 8th decade. Conclusions: Females are more susceptible than men to the risk of melanoma at a younger age however this susceptibility changes with increasing age. Our results demonstrate that the incidence of melanoma may be influenced by age and gender. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e22184 Background: Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is known to be caused by the presence of PF 4 antibody. Tumors exert immunomodulatory effects on the host immune response, including development of antibodies. Our aim was to analyze the presence of HIT in cancer patients and determine if HIT Ab is an adverse risk factor in patients with cancer. Methods: Patients with suspected HIT were selected. A case – control study was designed with 1:1 age and gender matched controls. We used chi – square analysis to compare proportions and Cox proportional hazard model to detect various predictors. Time to survival analysis was performed using Kaplan – Meier method. Results: Of 600 patients, 300 (63±15 years, women 48.8%) had a mean 4T pre – probability score of 4 ± 1.6. There were 132 cancers in both groups. 65 of these (49.2%) were in patients with probable HIT. The numbers of carcinomas and sarcomas were not significantly different between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups when comparing the number of cancer diagnoses or the particular types of cancer diagnosed. The mean time to detection of cancer was within 9 ± 23 months for patients with HIT Ab versus 31 ± 54 months in cancer patients without HIT Ab (p <0.0001). In addition, there was a greater number of patients with at least 2 primary cancers among the HIT Ab positive group (p = 0.003). No predictive relationship between the type of cancer and the presence of HIT Ab was found (p >0.05). Patients with advanced cancer (stage 3 or 4) were also more likely to be HIT Ab positive (HR 3.61; 95% CI 1.31 – 10.11, p = 0.013). Cancer patients with HIT Ab were more likely to have venous thromboembolism as compared to cancer patients without HIT Ab (7.7% vs. 4.7, p = 0.0001). Kaplan – Meier’s showed worse mortality for cancer patients with HIT Ab than patients without the HIT Ab (Breslow statistic = 0.04). Conclusions: Among our cohort with suspected HIT, cancer was a common finding. Patients with HIT antibody positivity were more likely to have a new cancer diagnosis within 1 year of a positive result. These patients were also more likely to have thromboembolic complications and worsened mortality. These findings require further study, but perhaps suggest that the presence of HIT Ab should trigger earlier surveillance for cancer.

Bangkok, Thailand is in a unique position to benefit economically and has become one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, due to its function as a hub for international travel in Southeast Asia. Thus, this study examines how past experiences, age, income, gender, education level, occupation, and regions affect international tourists’ reasons to visit Bangkok. After conducting chi-square analysis on 400 participants, significant differences were found among the varying income levels, occupations, education levels, and regions of origin and their reasons for visiting Bangkok. However, no significant differences were found based on age and gender regarding reasons to visit Bangkok. As far as regions of origin, Europeans were most likely to visit Bangkok as a stopover in route to another destination. This lays the foundations for further research focusing on what Bangkok can do to increase their status as a destination for European travelers.

Background: Adequate nutrition plays an important roles for children on school age to developed and maintain their growth and health. Many factors could affect the nutritional status of school children, one of them is the school location.Objectives: To analysis the correlation between school location with nutritional status of elementary school students.Method: The research design used was a cross-sectional design. 80 subjects were observed from two different schools namely SDN 1 Cikelet Garut (Urban) and SDN Pesanggrahan 02 Pagi Jakarta Selatan (Rural). The relationship of school location and gender with nutritional status were analyzed using Chi Square. Independent Sample T-test used to analyze nutritional status based on different locations.Result: In rural there are 25% of children with over nutritional status (weight/age). There are still stunted child both in urban (7.50%) and rural (10%), but based on weight/height nutritional status, almost all subjects in both urban (92.50%) and rural (97.50%) in obese category. Chi Square analysis showed that the school location was significantly related (P 0.05) only with the weight/age nutritional status. Gender is significantly related to height/age nutritional status. The majority of boys (15,4%) are shorter than girls (2,4%). The results of the Independent Sample T-test based on location, showed that the nutritional status of subjects in urban was significantly different (P0.05) from the nutritional status of subjects in rural. In line with this, based in gender there is significantly different (P0.05) in nutritional status between boy and girl.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that differences in school locations are related to the nutritional status of elementary school students.

The aim of the article is to analyse the dependency of selected factors (age category, level of income and gender) on consumers' willingness to buy organic dairy products. The primary research based on the electronic interview survey carried out on the sample of 203 Slovak respondents of all ages, in different social situations and with different views on the issue. The questionnaire consisted of seven sorting questions and six questions addressed consumers' perception of organic dairy products and the reasons for their purchase or rejection. For evaluation the Chi square test of square contingency was used. Results were sorted into tree parts. The aim of the firts part of research was to find out whether there is a dependency between the age category of the respondents and whether they are buying organic dairy products. Results showed that the age category of the respondents and purchase of organic dairy products are independent. The second part of the research based on the examination of the dependency between the level of income of the respondents and their willingness to pay for organic products. In this case we confirmed the dependency between the customers' average income per month and their willingness to pay for organic dairy products. Last but not least, the dependency between the reasons that would discourage consumers from buying organic dairy products and their gender was examined. The results of analysis clearly showed that these two variables are independent. Despite generally persisted opinions that food of daily consumption in bio quality (organic) is mainly bought by women of specific age categories (joung independent woman after graduation, mothers on maternity leave) we can confirm just the significance of the impact of customers' average income per month on their willingness to pay for these high quality and therefore expensive products.
