Hypertension is the biggest disease suffered by the Indonesian population. Hypertension is a condition in which the systolic blood pressure increases more than 140 mmHg or diastolic more than 90 mmHg on two measurements with an interval of five minutes in a state of sufficient rest or calm, the normal limit of blood pressure is less than or equal to 120 mmHg. Based on several research results, it is known that blood pressure is strongly influenced by activity factors, excessive salt consumption, and other factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity, sodium intake and body mass index with blood pressure in outpatients at the Puskesmas Tirawuta, East Kolaka Regency.This type of research is an observational analytic with a Cross Sectional Study approach. The sample in this study were all 37 outpatients aged 18 years at the Tirawuta Public Health Center in April 2022 and tested using Chi-square with a 95% confidence level. Based on the results of the study, it was found that most of the physical activity samples (56.8%) had light physical activity, most of the sample's sodium intake (62.2%) had more sodium intake, while the sample BMI (51.4%) had more body weight. Statistical tests showed that there was a relationship between physical activity and blood pressure, as well as a relationship between sodium intake and blood pressure, while in the BMI variable there was no significant relationship between BMI and blood pressure.
Wasting is a nutritional problem that can hamper the growth of children under five and affect their future productivity. The prevalence of wasting at Wolo Puskesmas in 2018 was 15.2%, then increased to 26.1% in 2022. Objectives: To determine the risk factors for wasting in under two yearsaged 7-24 months in the Work Area of the UPTD Wolo Health Center, Kolaka Regency. This is an observasional analitic research with a case control study design. The population was all under two yearsaged 7-24 months who experienced wasting as many as 25 people and the sample of this study were all under two yearsaged 7-24 months who experienced wasting as many as 25 people and control as many as 25 people. Sampling of cases using total sampling and control using a matching system. Data on exclusive breastfeeding were obtained through interviews and from the KIA book and records at the Health Center, and wasting was obtained from measurements of body weight and height. Data were analyzed using the Odd Ratio (OR) test. Exclusive breastfeeding are risk factors for wasting protection in children aged 7-24 months.This study suggests for mothers who have Baduta to be able to provide nutritious food to protect the IgA, IgG, dan IgM secretoric and regulate Baduta's diet so that it can improve the nutritional status of Baduta and for the Wolo Health Center to routinely provide education about nutrition since pregnant women
