Objective. To assess the bacteriological and physical quality of locally packaged drinking water sold for public consumption.Methods. This was cross-sectional study where a total of 60 samples of bottled water from 10 brands and 30 samples of sachet water from 15 brands purchased randomly were analyzed for bacteriological contamination (total coliform and faecal coliform per 100 mL) using membrane filtrate method and reported in terms of cfu/100 mL.Results. Both bottled water and sachet water were not contaminated with faecal coliform. Majority (70%, 21/30) of the sachet water analyzed exceeded acceptable limits of 0 total coliforms per 100 mL set by WHO and the national drinking water standards. The physical quality (turbidity and pH) of all the packaged water brands analyzed was within the acceptable limits. There was statistically significant difference between the median count of total coliform in both sachet water and bottled water brands (U(24)=37.0,p=0.027).Conclusion. Both bottled water and sachet water were not contaminated with faecal coliforms; majority of sachet water was contaminated with total coliform above acceptable limits. Government and other stakeholders should consider intensifying surveillance activities and enforcing strict hygienic measures in this rapidly expanding industry to improve packaged water quality.

AbstrakGalon air minum merupakan wadah untuk menyimpan persediaan air minum yang banyak digunakan masyarakat untuk memenuhi kebutuhan air minum sehari hari di Kota Padang. Jika wadah tidak dibersihkan sesuai standar yang telah ditetapkan, maka akan terdapat bakteri kontaminan di permukaan dalam galon yang akan menyebabkan berbagai penyakit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan kualitas mikrobiologi kontak permukaan dalam galon pada distribusi akhir di Kecamatan Bungus. Penelitian dilakukan di depot air minum isi ulang di Kecamatan Bungus Padang dari April 2014 sampai Oktober 2014. Metode penelitian  menggunakan cross sectional study yang dilakukan pada 18 sampel dari 9 depot air minum isi ulang yang dibagi menjadi masing-masing 2 galon per depot air minum isi ulang. Penelitian ini terdiri dari pengambilan sampel lalu uji bakteriologi dengan metode Most Probably Number (MPN) yang meliputi uji penduga dan uji konfirmasi. Hasil uji konfirmasi dari 18 sampel didapatkan 3 sampel yang tidak memenuhi syarat mikrobiologis sesuai dengan PERMENKES No. 46 tahun 1990.Kata kunci: uji presumptive, uji confirmative, most probably number AbstractGallons of drinking water is a container for storing drinking water supplies are widely used by the community to meet the daily drinking water needs in Padang city. If the container is not cleaned according of standards that have been set, there will be bacterial contaminants on the surface in gallons that will cause various diseases. The objective of this study was to determine the microbiological quality of the contact surface in gallons at the end of the distribution in the Bungus District. The study was conducted at the depot refill drinking water in the Bungus District  Padang in April 2014 to October 2014. Cross-sectional study was performed on 18 samples from 9 depot refill drinking water which is divided into each of 2 gallons per refill drinking water depot. This study consisted of sampling and bacteriological test  Most Probably Number (MPN), which includes test and confirmative test estimators. Confirmative test results of 18 samples are obtained three samples that do not qualify according to the microbiological that has been set by PERMENKES No. 46 in 1990.Keywords: presumptive test, confirmative test, most probably number

Elderly Living

Background: Vietnam is entering the stage of aging population; as a result, the quality of life (QOL) of the elderly is really a matter of concern. There is a great deal of research on the quality of life of the elderly while Vietnam witnesses a lack of research on this topic, especially on how physical and social activities have impact on QOL of the elderly. Objectives: (1) To describe the situation of participation in physical, social activities and QOL of the elderly residing in Truong An Ward, Hue city. (2) To examine the association between physical, social activities and QOL among participants. Methodology: This study used cross-sectional study design. A total sample of 420 people aged 60 and above in Truong An Ward, Hue city were interviewd. The SF36 was used to measure the QOL of participants. Results: Percentage of the elderly taking part in physical activity were 66%. 49% reported having the habit of taking part in social activities. The majority of the elderly get their QOL level in three health fields, namely physical, mental and general health at above average. (56.0, 60.7 and 60.8 respectively). There were significant associations between physical activities, social activities and QOL among participants. Conclusion: The percentage of the elderly taking part in physical and social activities were still low. Besides, QOL of the elderly at the research location was not really high. It’s important to encourage the elderly taking part in physical and social activities to improve their quality of life. Key words: Physical activities, social activities, QOL, the elderly
