Group A was women with normal BMI, group B was women with overweight BMI, and group C was women with obese BMI. The result of pearson chi-square p = 0.022 (p ? 0.05) indicating that there is a significant data distribution difference. The relative risk for overweight-obese compared to normal BMI was RR=3.34 [95% CI 1.09 - 10.16]. Concluded that there is a difference proportion of risk having plantar fasciitis between normal BMI (4%), overweight BMI (10,7%), obesity BMI (16%) and overweight-obese BMI have 3,34 times greater risk of having plantar fasciitis than the normal BMI category.

Clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) is an important strategy to improve health status because many diseases can be prevented if people adopt healthy living behaviors. School children are an age group that is vulnerable to experiencing health problems because some of their time is spent outside the home environment and outside the supervision of their parents. When children are in the school environment, they can experience disease transmission from their peers, from the school environment or they may consume foods that do not meet health requirements. School children are also an easy age group to be given knowledge about PHBS to form healthy behavior. Demulih Elementary School 2 is located in a densely populated environment and there is no canteen that meets health requirements. Because of this, it is very appropriate to provide knowledge about PHBS through an interesting lecture method using images and video media followed by questions and answers. The implementation of the counseling went well, school children were very enthusiastic when listening to the presentation and were very active during discussions. School children seem to have understood the PHBS concept and already understand how to implement it.
Menopause yang ditandai oleh berhentinya siklus menstruasi dianggap sebagai awal proses penuaan pada wanita. Penurunan kadar estrogen pada menopause menyebabkan penurunan perlindungan berbagai sistem/organ tubuh wanita. Penurunan aktivitas antioksidan estrogen dapat menyebabkan munculnya stres oksidatif pada menopause, yang akan memunculkan beberapa gejala pada menopause seperti gangguan psikogenik, gejala vasomotor dan genitourinary. Beberapa penyakit yang terkait menopause juga bisa terjadi seperti hipertensi, penyakit kardiovaskular, osteoporosis, radang sendi, diabetes mellitus, kanker, obesitas dan penyakit hati. Hormone Replacement Theraphy (HRT) dengan estrogen dapat diberikan untuk mengatasi gejala dan penyakit pada menopause. Walaupun terbukti efektif, HRT dapat menimbulkan efek samping yang berbahaya. Alternatif pengganti estrogen yang efektif dan lebih aman adalah fitoestrogen dan antioksidan. Antosianin yang memiliki struktur mirip dengan estrogen, menunjukkan aktivitas fitoestrogen baik in vitro maupun in vivo dan telah terbukti sebagai antioksidan yang efektif. Beberapa hasil penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa antosianin efektif dalam mengatasi gejala–gejala menopause. Pada makalah ini dibahas potensi antosianin dalam mengatasi gejala menopause dan penyakit terkait menopause, melalui aktivitasnya sebagai fitoestrogen dan antioksidan.
