Family Biopsychosocial Characteristics on Stunting Events in Children in Stunting Locus Areas Tapalang Barat District

Background: Nutrition in the first five years of life is very important because at this time physical and brain development is most rapid. Nutrition at this time will affect future developments (Data, Information and Health, 2016). Anthropometric monitoring is also needed, as an initial screening of nutritional problems, including stunting and wasting, to facilitate interventions to be carried out to prevent long-term effects and the next stage in the toddler development cycle (Ramos, Dumith and César, 2015). The research method used in this study was case control, while the research was conducted from April to September 2020. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between biopsychosocial and stunting in children under five years in the stunting locus area, West Tapalang District. Method: This study uses a case control research design with the number of respondents each as many as 57 people. The sampling method used is total sampling Results: There is a statistical relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting. The p value is 0.01 with an OR value of 0.38. Meanwhile, maternal height has a p value of 0.84 (OR 1.08), family support has a p value of 0.49 (OR 0.49), exposure to cigarette smoke has a p value of 0.09 (OR 0.31) and socioeconomic has no statistical relationship. Conclusion: There is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting. Meanwhile, maternal height, family support, and exposure to cigarette smoke did not show a statistical relationship with the incidence of stunting Key words: Stunting, Toddler, psychosocial.

Factors Affecting the Incidence of Uncontrolled Hypertension in Patients Performing Routine Examinations at the Kebayakan Public Health Center, Central Aceh Regency

The purpose of the study was to determine the factors that influence the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension in patients who carry out routine checks at the Community Health Center (Puskesmas). Method: using analytical survey method using Case Control research design. The sample was 148 respondents, 74 case groups and 74 control groups were taken by purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed univariate, bivariate and multivariate with multiple logistic regression. The results of the bivariate test showed that the factors influencing the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension were age (p= 0.002; OR = 3,253), family history (p= 0.000; OR = 4.216), obesity (p= 0.005; OR = 2.734), physical activity (p= 0.000; OR = 4.229), salt consumption (p= 0.000; OR = 4,127), coffee consumption (p= 0.010; OR = 4,127), stress (p= 0.000; OR = 3,745), medication adherence (p= 0.000; OR = 4.492). Factors that were not related were gender (p= 0.620; OR = 0.803), smoking (p= 1,000; OR = 1,000). While the results of the multivariate test showed that the most influential factors with the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension were medication adherence variable (p= 0.000; Exp(B) = 5.982), and obesity variable (p= 0.002; Exp(B) = 4.945). In conclusion, the dominant factors that influence the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension at the Kebayakan Health Center are medication adherence and obesity.

Effect of Hydrological Data on Flood Management in Urban Areas

Floods can occur due to rising water levels due to above-normal rainfall, changes in temperature, broken embankments/dams, rapid snowmelt, obstruction of water flow in other places, and putting people at risk of annual disasters due to flooding. The purpose of this study was to obtain a more detailed description of hydrological conditions so that flooding in the Bandar Lampung urban area can be optimally managed or controlled. The method used in flood control research is the analysis of the calculation of the average rainfall in the watershed, and the calculation of the planned discharge. The results of the analysis show that the existing drainage channels that have been carried out for each channel point have dimensions that are not large enough so that they are not sufficient to accommodate water runoff. so that for a 5-year discharge of 28.058 m3/s, the dimensions of the channel are 3 m wide and 2.6 m deep and for a 10-year discharge of 30.609 m3/s, the channel dimensions are 3.1 m wide and 2.7 m deep.

Ultrasonography features of the intrinsic foot muscles in patients with and without plantar fasciitis: A novel case-control research study

IntroductionPlantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of heel pain.(1) This condition was described as a degenerative syndrome associated with pain, lack of functionality and stiffness on the plantar fascia. The aim of the present study was to compare with ultrasound imaging (USI) the thickness and cross-sectional area of the intrinsic foot muscles between individuals with and without plantar fasciitis (PF).Material and methodsA total of 64 volunteers from 18 to 55 years were recruited for the present study. The sample was divided in two groups: A group, composed of participants diagnosed by PF (n = 32) and B group, composed by healthy participants (n = 32).ResultsUSI measurements for FBH CSA (p = 0.035) was decreasing showing statistically significant differences for the PF group, while the QP CSA (p = 0.40) was increasing reporting statistically significant differences for the PF group with respect the healthy group. The rest of the IFM did not show statistically significant differences, however in FHB, FDB, QP and AHB thicknesses and FDB CSA a slightly decrease for the PF group have been observed.ConclusionsUSI measurements showed that the CSA of the FHB muscle is reduced in patients with PF while the CSA of the QP muscle is increased in patients with PF.

Comparison of the History of Food Intakes of Diabetic, Hypertension, and Heart Disease Patients with Clinical Symptoms of COVID-19 and Asymptomatic Controls

Background: In recent months, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a global health challenge. Nutrition is a determining factor for health. Objectives: In the present research, we assessed and compared dietary food groups and nutrient supplements intake of diabetic, hypertensive, and heart disease patients with clinical symptoms of COVID-19 and asymptomatic controls. Methods: This retrospective case-control research was conducted on 98 patients with diabetes, hypertension, and/or heart disease, of whom 37 cases were COVID-19 positive with clinical symptoms. Dietary intakes of participants were recorded using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), which was designed and validated for the Iranian population. Results: We found that 54% of all subjects had consumed nutritional supplements in the last six months, and there was no significant difference in the type of nutritional supplements between cases and controls. There was no significant difference in the median intake of food groups in the last year in patients with metabolic syndrome and clinical symptoms of COVID-19 compared to controls. The CRUD odds ratio (OR) showed that adequate consumption of any food group was not associated with the occurrence of COVID-19. Conclusions: Although dietary intake and nutritional supplements are effective in preventing clinical symptoms of COVID-19, up to now, adequate data are available for recommending these supplements above the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for the prevention and/or treatment of COVID-19.
