These diseases will cause problems if they are not treated or prevented. Oxygen saturation is the hemoglobin fraction of oxygen saturation relative to the total hemoglobin in the blood or the oxygen level in the blood. Oxygen is bound to Hemoglobin in the Red blood cells or Erythrocytes. The human body needs and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood, because the human body needs oxygen from the environment outside the body for metabolic processes and body activities. The normal arterial blood oxygen saturation level in humans is 95-100 percent. Based on data from the Global Health Observatory (GHO) from the World Health Organization (WHO), it shows that one third of ischemic heart disease is caused by high cholesterol levels. Overall, elevated cholesterol is estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths (4.5% of total deaths in the world) and 29.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYS), or 2% of total DALYS.

KORELASI ANTARA FRAILTY DENGAN DEPRESI PADA LANJUT USIA

Elderly people in Indonesia are increasing in number and with increasing age there are changes such as threat of death, retirement, stressful life events or medical problems. It's normal to feel uncomfortable, stressed or sad about change. But if this feeling lasts for a long time, then there is a possibility of depression. Some people may experience depression after being diagnosed with a physical illness. Physical illness increases the risk of developing severe depression, so that there is a causal or mutually amplifying relationship in the comorbidity of psychological illness with physical illness. Frailty is theoretically a clinically recognizable state of increased susceptibility. Physical frailty and depression are common comorbid conditions that have an important impact on the elderly, so it is important to further research and confirm the relationship between frailty and depression to provide information and knowledge as a preventive measure and reduce the risk that can occur in the elderly. The study used a cross-sectional analytic study with a total population sampling technique. The study used the RAPUH questionnaire and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) 15. The results showed that the elderly were classified as severe depression (6.2%), moderate depression (8.6%), mild depression (27.2%) and not depressed ( 58%). The elderly were also found to be frail (53.1%), pre-frail (44.4%) and robust (2.5%). Research on the relationship between frailty syndrome and depression scale was proven by Chi – Square test (P=0.000). The results of the relationship between frailty syndrome and depression scale were found to be P-value 0.05 so that in conclusion there was a significant relationship between frailty syndrome and depression in the elderly.

Design of One-Leg Cane Handle Using AHP-TOPSIS Comparative Study to Improve The Mobility of The Elderly

The number of elderly people in Indonesia has increased significantly. Indonesia has an elderly population of 29 million or 11% of the total population, and around 39% of the population or 11.5 million live with disabilities. The elderly who experience disabilities caused by physical and cognitive changes can decrease their quality of life. Disability in the elderly is caused by the weakening of the lower extremity muscles, resulting in decreased balance and walking stability. Appropriate walking aids for the elderly are crucial in improving balance and stability to reduce the risk of falling. The most commonly used mobility aid for the elderly is a cane, but the use by the elderly is mostly not appropriately instructed, where up to 70% use the wrong cane handle and use it incorrectly. As a result of incorrect use of canes and inadequate instructions, 30-50% of the elderly stop using the cane after receiving it. So, to keep the elderly using the cane, this study tries to design a cane handle with a comparative study using the AHP-TOPSIS Method. The purpose of designing a cane handle is to mantain the balance and stability of the elderly for mobility to improve quality of life and keep the elderly using a cane to reduce the risk of falling. The output obtained is a visualization of the concept & prototype of the improved cane handle design. The improved cane handle is simulated using Autodesk Inventor software with a loading of 150 N. The maximum stress analysis result is 25.31 Mpa, the maximum displacement analysis is 0.2273 mm, and the safety factor value is 7.54 ul.
