Background and Aim: Effective prevention of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) requires public health focus on challenges at the community level. This study aimed to identify the determinants of COVID-19 preventive behavior among people in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, using the health belief model. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The study sample included 385 randomly selected individuals. The dependent variable was COVID-19 preventive behavior. The data were collected by a questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis using Stata Statistical Software version 13 for Windows 64 bit. Results: COVID-19 preventive behavior was positively and directly associated with perceived benefits (b=0.20; confidence interval [CI] 95% 0.11-0.29; p<0.001), perceived barriers (b=–0.15; CI 95% –0.24-–0.06; p=0.002), and biological sex (b=–0.43; CI 05% –0.78-–0.08; p=0.016). Preventive behavior was also positively and directly associated with attitude (b=0.48; CI 95% –0.20-1.16; p=0.167) and perceived susceptibility (b=0.06; CI 95% –0.01-0.12; p=0.083), though these associations were not significant. Preventive behavior was indirectly associated with knowledge, perceived severity, age, health facility availability, and regulation exposure. Conclusion: COVID-19 preventive behavior among people in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is directly related to the perceived benefits, biological sex, perceived barriers, attitude, and perceived susceptibility. Preventive behavior of COVID-19 is indirectly associated with knowledge, perceived severity, age, health facility availability, and exposure to regulation.

Background: Military personnel has a high risk of being exposed to HIV. The transmission of HIV from male military personnel is like an iceberg phenomenon. Based on studies in the US, UK, and France, the military personnel from these countries are much more likely to be contaminated with HIV than the equal age/sex group in the civilian population. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of HIV among male military personnel by using meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: This study was a systematic and meta-analysis study. The articles used in this study were obtained from several electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Springer Link, ScienceDirect, and Clinical key. These articles were collected for 2 weeks. The keywords used in searching for the articles were as follows: "HIV", "soldier", "military", "armed force", "army", "navy", "air force", "armed force", "sex partner", "man having sex with man (MSM)", "homosexual", number of marriage","prostitute","sexually transmitted infection (STI)", and "conscription". The articles included in this study were full-text articles with cross-sectional design. The articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagram. These articles were analyzed using meta-analysis with the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: MSM (aOR= 9.37; 95%CI= 5.31 to 16.55; p <0.001), sexually transmitted infections (aOR = 3.75; 95%CI= 3.00 to 4.68; p<0.001), sexual partners> 10 (aOR= 3.05; 95 CI= 2.12 to 4.38; p<0.001) increased the incidence of HIV among male military personnel, and it was statistically significant. Sex with CSWs (aOR= 3.93; 95% CI= 0.93 to 16.62; p= 0.060) increased the incidence of HIV among male military personnel, but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion:MSM, STI, and sexual partners >10 increase the incidence of HIV among male military personnels.

Penurunan angka stunting masih menjadi priotitas utama dalam rangka tujuan pembangunan nasional. Indonesia menjadi Negara kedua dengan angka kasus stunting tertinggi kedua di Asia Tenggara setelah kamboja.  Hasil survei Status Gizi Balita Indonesia (SSGBI) pada tahun 2019 menunjukkan bahwa 1 dari 3 anak di Indonesia  terbukti mengalami stunting. Hal ini merupakan masalah serius mengingat sumberdaya yang paling berharga bagi suatu negara adalah sumber daya manusia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis hubungan antara pemantauan pertumbuhan dan pemberian makan oleh pengasuh dengan kejadian stunting pada anak panti asuhan di Kota Semarang tahun 2019. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif analitik melalui pendekatan case control. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh anak panti asuhan di Kota Semarang. Adapun jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 48 anak stunting sebagai kelompok kasus dan 48 anak normal sebagai kelompok kontrol dengan rentang usia 8-18 tahun dan diambil secara Purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner, microtoise dan aplikasi WHO Antro Plus. Analisis data diolah dengan spss menggunakan uji statistik chi square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemantauan pertumbuhan oleh pengasuh tergolong kurang baik (51.04%) dan pemberian makan tergolong kurang baik (54,17%). Uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa kejadian stunting memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan pemantauan pertumbuhan (p=0.025) dan pola pemberian makan (p=0.001). Diperlukan pemantauan kesehatan rutin dan edukasi dari petugas puskemas kepada pengasuh tentang cara menentukan status gizi anak dan pola asuh gizi yang benar dan baik.  

The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and cardiovascular (CVD) related mortality has been extensively investigated in the general population. However, the research on this matter is relatively limited, and the conclusions from these studies are inconsistent. This study aimed to review the association between body mass index with CVD related mortality. Articles that reported hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality using standard BMI categories of general populations of adults were selected from the following databases including PubMed, ProQuest, Springer link, and Science direct for English language articles published until 2022. Ten studies were included in this study. Random and Fixed-effects summary of CVD-related mortality HRs were 1.72 (95% CI, 1.51-1.97) for underweight, 1.40 (95% CI, 1.15-1.69), and 1.33 (95% CI, 1.17-1.52) for obesity. Being underweight and obese might increase CVD related mortality in all populations, including males and females.

On mid February 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of a new type of respiratory disease originated from Wuhan, China, which was identified as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). After a long-standing status of COVID-19-free, on March 2 nd , 2020, Indonesia finally broke its first cases.
