Central obesity is a state of the body characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the abdominal area and is a component of the metabolic syndrome and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The main causes of central obesity are the wrong diet such as a diet high in fat and carbohydrates and low in fiber. The purpose of this study was to analyze carbohydrate and fat intake in young adults with central obesity. This research was an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The Sampling techniques used the purposive sampling method with a sample of 66 people consisting of 33 central obese people and 33 central non-obese people. The results of this study showed that the average consumption of carbohydrates in a day on central obesity is higher (341,74 g/ day) than the consumption of carbohydrates in non-central obesity (263,26 g/day) and the average consumption of fat in a day on central obesity is higher (167.2 g/day) than the consumption of fats of non-central obesity (100,3 g/day). There was a significant difference in carbohydrate intake and fat intake between the group of young adults with central obesity and non-central obesity (p=0.000).
ABSTRAKDemodex folliculorum dan Demodex brevis merupakan parasit pada folikel rambut dan kelenjar pilosebasea pada kulit manusia. Pada mayoritas individu normal, tungau Demodex yang memakan sel epitel folikel rambut atau kelenjar pilosebasea tidak menimbulan gejala, akan tetapi pada densitas yang tinggi di kulit manusia dengan jumlah ≥5 tungau dalam 1 cm2, Demodex berubah menjadi patogen atau disebut infestasi Demodex (demodicosis). Secara klinis manifestasi infestasi Demodex mirip dengan akne vulgaris sehingga dalam klinis kadang sulit membedakan infestasi Demodex dengan akne vulgaris. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui densitas Demodex pada mahasiswa berjerawat, hubungan jenis kelamin degan infestasi Demodex, hubungan tingkat keparahan jerawat dengan infestasi Demodex, dan hubungan tingkat gangguan kualitas hidup dengan infestasi Demodex. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuisioner Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI), Global Acne Grading Sytem (GAGS), dan pemerikaan tungau Demodex dengan KOH 10%. Perhitungan statistik menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan statistik analitik menggunakan chi-square (p<0,01). Hasil didapatkan dari 77 sampel terdapat 14 mahasiwa dengan infestasi Demodex (18,18%). Hubungan yang bermakna ditemukan antara jenis kelamin dan insidensi infestasi Demodex (p<0,01). Hubungan tidak bermakna ditemukan antara tingkat keparahan jerawat dan gangguan kualitas hidup dengan insidensi infestasi Demodex (p>0,01). Kata kunci: infestasi Demodex, akne vulgaris, CADI, GAGS ABSTRACT Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are parasites in the hair follicles and pilosebaceous glands in human skin. In the majority of normal individuals, Demodex mites that consume epithelial cells of hair follicles or pilosebacea glands do not produce symptoms, but at high densities in human skin with ≥5 mites in 1 cm2, Demodex turns into a pathogen or called Demodex infestation (demodicosis). Manifestations of Demodex infestations are clinically similar to acne vulgaris so in clinics it is sometimes difficult to distinguish Demodex infestation with acne vulgaris. The purposes of this research are to know the density of Demodex on acne students and its relationship with gender
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disorder caused by the process of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries which results in disruption of blood flow to the heart muscle. Various attempts have been made to control CHD but have not given optimal results. One of the basic steps in controlling is to do a health screening that is checking blood cholesterol. The purpose of this service activity is to improve the control of CHD risk factors by detecting hypercholesterolemia so that it is expected to reduce the incidence of CHD. The program was carried out in collaboration with Siak District Hospital and Siak branch IDI. Prospective service participants register online and fill in data in the form of the name, gender, age, address, occupation, height, and weight. On the day of the activity, participants were re-registered. Next is a blood cholesterol check and education about hypercholesterolemia and its management. The effort to detect hypercholesterolemia and education in the Sri Inderapura Siak City community was carried out in August 2019 at the Tengku Maharatu Building. Measurement of community cholesterol levels is done by using a digital inspection tool. On examination found that most participants had normal total cholesterol levels which were 55.94%, while hypercholesterolemia was found in 26 participants (44.06%).
56Lingkungan di sekitar manusia mengandung berbagai jenis patogen yang dapat menyebabkan infeksi misalnya bakteri, virus, jamur, protozoa dan parasit. Infeksi yang terjadi pada orang normal umumnya singkat dan jarang meninggalkan kerusakan permanen. Hal ini disebabkan tubuh manusia memiliki suatu sistem yang disebut sistem imun. Sistem imun terdiri atas sistem imun spesifik dan non-spesifik. Sel limfosit merupakan sel yang berperan utama dalam sistem imun spesifik. 1,2Penurunan atau gagalnya fungsi dari salah satu atau lebih unsur sistem imun disebut imunodefisiensi. Kegagalan fungsi ini sering berkaitan dengan gagalnya kerja limfosit, komplemen dan fagosit.1 Prednison termasuk obat steroid golongan glukokortikoid penyebab imunodefisiensi sekunder.3 Pemberian dosis tunggal glukokortikoid dengan masa kerja pendek akan menurunkan jumlah limfosit dalam sirkulasi. 3,4 Perbandingan Efek Pemberian Emulsi Kedelai dan Emulsi Tempe Terhadap Hitung Limfosit Total pada Tikus Putih yang Telah Diberi PrednisonRizka Bekti Nurcahyani, Imelda T Pardede, Huriatul Masdar * ABSTRACT Adequate nutrition is one of important factors in immunodeficiency repairment. Soybean and tempeh contains proteins, zinc, ferrum, vitamins and isoflavon. Fermentation in tempeh makes it having better nutrients digestion and absorption than soybean. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of soy and tempeh emulsions on total lymphocyte count in rats treated with prednisone. The test was done on 24 male white rats divided into four groups. Group A was given distilled water and group B, C and D had prednisone 2.5 mg/day for 6 days. After that, group A and B were continued having distilled water while groups C or D was fed with soy or tempeh emulsion 0.71 mL/day for 10 days, respectively. The results shown that soy and tempeh emulsion could increase total lymphocyte count significantly (p < 0,05) but there was no significant difference of total lymphocyte count between soy and tempeh emulsion groups (p > 0,05).
Underweight is a public health problem and the incidence rate is still increasing worldwide, including in Indonesia. This condition is more common in adolescents due to inadequate food intake and lack of nutritional knowledge. The other factor that determines nutritional status is physical exercise. The purpose of this study was to describe the awarenesss and intentions of underweight adolescents about physical exercise. This research was a quantitative descriptive study. It was conducted at SMA Negeri 5 and 3 in Pekanbaru. Ninety two underweight subjects were obtained by purposive sampling technique. Data collected using questionnaire and then analyzed by univariate analysis. The results of this study found that 63% underweight adolescent were female and they were experiencing mild to severe underweight. Most subjects have moderate awareness (77.2%) and good intention (64.13%) about physical exercise. It can be concluded that underweight adolescents have moderate awareness and good intention about physical exercise, despite they are being underweight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
