FACTORS THAT AFFECT FAST FOOD CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOR OF STUDENTS IN SMA NEGERI “X” SURABAYA INDONESIA

ABSTRACT Background: The era of Globalization creates a consumerism condition and new lifestyle in the society. Society especially senior high school age teenagers prefer to consume fast food because it is simple and does not spend much time besides the crowded activity. Consuming fast food in often frequencies can cause negative impact for the health, such as risk of obesity and other degenerative diseases. This research aims to analyze the factors that affect fast food consumption behavior of students in SMA Negeri “X” Surabaya. Materials and Methods: This research uses quantitative research approach, observational analytic and cross sectional research design. The total of respondents are 85 students out of total population of 377 students with simple random sampling. Dependent variable is fast food consumption behavior, and independent variables are gender, allowance, behavior intention, social support, and accessibility of information. Result: The results of simple logistic regression test shows that allowance (p=0.008), behavior intention (p=0.010), and social support (p=0.000493) affect to fast food consumption behavior, but gender (p=0.201) and accessibility of information (p=0.165) do not affect to fast food consumption behavior. So, from the result the researcher will give some recommendation to decrease fast food consumption behavior. Conclusion: The school where the students study shall give health education about consuming the healthy foods and build a collaboration with Puskesmas (First Health Facility in Indonesia) and the health department to help the implementation of health promotion strategies in school. Health education aims to decrease the high frequencies of student’s fast food consumption behavior and consuming healthy foods instead. Such as, create more interesting health promotion medias for the students. In addition, parents shall do allowance monitoring and provide healthy foods for their son and daughter .

Predictors of severe visual impairment and blindness among diabetic patients in Special Territory of YogyakartaPurposeThe purpose of this study was to identify any predictors of severe visual impairment and blindness among diabetic patients in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.MethodsThis research was a cross-sectional study by analyzing registry data from (JOGED.COM). Data included sociodemographic characteristics, diabetic status, health record, and eye diseases. The analysis was done using chi-square and simple logistic regression tests follow with semi-partial correlation, stratification tests and multilevel analysis with Generalized Estimation Equation (GEE).ResultsAs much as 1093 data were included in this study. The prevalence of severe visual impairment was 12% and blindness was 6.5%. Cataract, diabetic retinopathy and diabetes duration >10 years were statistically significant with severe visual impairment and blindness while glaucoma and hypertension only significant with severe visual impairment. The contribution of cataract in severe visual impairment (4.73%) and blindness (3.11%) was highest among eye diseases. There was modification effect of cataract to severe visual impairment and blindness by diabetes duration. Based on GEE, cataract, diabetic retinopathy and diabetes duration > 10 years was the best model to predict the occurrence of severe visual impairment and blindness.ConclusionsPredictors of severe visual impairment and blindness among diabetic patients in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta were the cataract, diabetic retinopathy and diabetes duration >10 years. Modification effect of cataract by diabetes duration only was significant in a model to predict blindness.

High perceived discrimination and no family support increase risk of poor quality of life in gender dysphoria

BackgroundFamily support and low discrimination perceptions are a factor in protecting against mental disorders and poor quality of life in male to female (MtF) gender dysphoric individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the role of family factors, peer support, self-esteem, perceived discrimination, depression, anxiety, and stress on the quality of life among MtF gender dysphoric individuals. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 106 MtF gender dysphoric individuals of Sanggar Swara Jakarta. Respondents filled out questionnaires on demographics, WHOQL-BREF, perceived discrimination, Rosenberg self-esteem, family support, social support (SSQ6), family relations (FACES III), and depression anxiety stress scale (DASS). Simple and multivariate logistic regression tests were used to analyze the data.ResultsAmong the 106 MtF gender dysphoric individuals of Sanggar Swara Jakarta with an age range of 18-45 years, 78.3% had no family support, 64.1% no peer support, 62.3% high perception discrimination, 64.1% low self-esteem, 36% extreme family relations, 44.3% depression, 59.4% anxiety, 35.8% stress and 62.3% poor quality of life. Employment, perception of discrimination, self-esteem, family support, and anxiety were significantly associated with quality of life (p<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that perceived discrimination (Odds Ratio=13.89; 95% CI: 5.89-11.99), and family support (Odds Ratio=29.11; 95% CI: 2.45-8.21) were significantly associated with quality of life. Conclusion High perceived discrimination and no family support increase the risk of poor quality of life in MtF gender dysphoric individuals. These findings suggest the need for prevention and intervention of stigmatization and discrimination that should have a special focus on families with MtF gender dysphoric individuals.

Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence, Its Risk Factors and Effect on the Quality of Life in Women after Their First Delivery

Introduction: Although urinary incontinence is commonly associated with increasing parity, there is however a lack of published data on urinary incontinence among primiparous women. This study aims to determine its prevalence among primiparous women at 6-8 weeks postpartum, its risk factors and effects to their quality of life. Methods: This is a crosssectional study involving primiparous women at 6-8 weeks postpartum. Women in their third trimester were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were obtained using a study proforma, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire – Short Form (ICIQSF) over a face-to-face interview. The same questionnaire with additional enquiries on delivery was completed over a telephone interview at 6-8 week postpartum. Data were analysed using chi-square and simple logistic regression tests contained in the Statistical Package for Social Science version 20.0. Results: Three hundred and six women participated in this study. The prevalence of urinary incontinence in the third trimester of pregnancy was 34.3% (95%CI: 29.0, 39.7) and dropped to 5.2% (95% CI: 2.7, 7.7) at 6-8 weeks postpartum. Childhood enuresis and postpartum body mass index were the two factors that showed significant association with postpartum urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence in 95 (31%) women had resolved by 6-8 weeks postpartum, whereas 10 (3.3%) women still had persistent symptom. A small proportion of women (2.0%) developed urinary incontinence in the postpartum period. Majority of women with urinary incontinence did not feel it significantly affected their quality of life. The ICIQ- SF mean score was 6.13 (range 2- 12). Conclusions: Postpartum urinary incontinence is rather uncommon among primiparous women and does not seem to affect their quality of life. Childhood enuresis and postpartum BMI were risk factors associated with postpartum urinary incontinence.

Psychological and neuropsychological assessment of regular hoasca users

BackgroundHoasca (also called ayahuasca) is a N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) – containing psychedelic brew originally used for magico-religious purposes by Amerindian populations of the Amazon Basin. Recently, Brazilian syncretic churches have helped spread the ritual use of hoasca to Western societies. The aim of this study was to evaluate substance use, and neuropsychological and psychological functioning of regular hoasca users within a religious setting. MethodsAssessment of socio-economic status, mood, personality traits, impulsiveness, drug use, quality of life, extrinsic and intrinsic religiosity, and neuropsychological function was performed on 30 volunteers from a U.S. branch of União do Vegetal (UDV), a Brazilian religion which uses hoasca ritually. We also assessed 27 non-hoasca-using control subjects matched by socio-demographic profile and church attendance. Mann–Whitney U, chi-squared and Fisher tests were used to analyze differences between groups. Spearman's association and simple logistic regression tests were used to analyze the impact of frequency of hoasca use on dependent variables. ResultsRelative to the control group, the UDV group demonstrated lower scores for depression (p=0.043, r=.27) and confusion (p=0.032, r=.29) as assessed by the Profile of Mood States (POMS); higher scores on the instrument Big Five Inventory (BFI) for the personality traits agreeableness (p=0.028, r=.29) and openness (p=0.037, r=.28); higher scores on the quality life domain role limitations due to physical health as determined by the instrument Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 – SF-36 (p=0.035, r=.28); less recent use of alcohol (p<0.001, φc=.57), greater past use of alcohol to intoxication (p=0.007, φc=.36) and past use of cannabis (p=0.001, φc=.45) as measured by the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), 5th edition; better score on a measure of memory vulnerability to proactive interference as measured by the California Verbal Learning Test – CVLT (p=0.040, r=.27). Lifetime use of hoasca was positively correlated with role limitations due to physical health (p=0.032, rs=.39) and negatively associated with lifetime heavy alcohol use (p=0.034, OR=0.979). ConclusionsThe findings indicate that religious use of hoasca does not adversely affect neuropsychological functioning and may have positive effects on substance abuse and mood.

Non-exposure parenting increases risk of bullying behavior in junior high school students

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bullying behavior is one of many behavioral and disciplinary problems among school students, which has a wide impact on youth, families, schools, and communities. Parenting and the role of parents as good educators (exposure) can prevent mental, emotional and behavioral disorders caused by bullying. The aim of this study was to determine the role of self-esteem and family factors on bullying behavior in junior high schools students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A cross-sectional study was conducted including 1324 junior high school students of Penjaringan village, North Jakarta. Respondents filled out questionnaires on demographics (age, gender, economic status, educational level), Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaire, strength and difficulties questionnaire, Olweus bullying questionnaire, Hamilton scale for depression, parenting style, and family adaptability and cohesion scales III. Simple and multivariate logistic regression tests were used to analyze the data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respondents consisted of 53.5% females and 46.5% males, with an age range of 13-16 years. A total of 45% was involved in bullying (victims, perpetrators, and victims and perpetrators). Gender, self-esteem, family relationships, and parenting were significantly associated with bullying role (p&amp;lt;0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that self-esteem (odds ratio=23.89; 95% CI:7.899-12.990) and non-exposure parenting (odds ratio=39.11;95% CI: 2.455-8.210) were significantly associated with bullying behavior. &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Non-exposure parenting was the most relevant risk factor of bullying behavior. Low self-esteem increases the risk of bullying behavior.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;These findings suggest the need of timely bullying prevention and intervention programs that should have a special focus on families of primary high school students.

The Influence of Lifestyle on BMI Change for Tree-Month Injectable Hormonal Contraceptive Users

ABSTRACTTree-Month injectable hormonal contraceptive quarterly causes an increase in BMI. Increased BMI is one of the main reasons why the contraceptive users stopped their contraceptive. However, increased BMI was not experienced by all users, there are other factors that can influence increased BMI, such as consumption, physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lifestyle to anthropometic change in the injectable hormonal contraceptive users. This study used observational analytic study and case control design. The sample size use simple random sampling technique. To determine the effect and odd ratio, this study used a simple logistic regression test. The results showed that lifestyle factor that affect and risk for anthropometric changein the three-month contraceptive users is sedentary behavior. Sedentary behavior ≥ 3 hours per day can increase the risk of increased BMI 9,048 times compared with sedentary behavior &lt; 3 hours per day. The conclusion is sedentary lifestyle affected increased BMI among three- month injectable hormonal contraceptive users. By reducing sedentary behavior habit and increasing exercise behaviour, three-month injectable contraceptive users can prevent the risk of increased BMI.Keywords: contraceptive, acceptor, lifestyle, BMI, sedentary

Defining the Patterns and Factors of Urban Crime in Korean Cities Based on the Analysis of Social Statistical Data

The high rate of urban crime is a main issue that needs to be dealt with in this high-tech society. With the rapid increase of urban crime, research has mainly focused on topics either on a global or a local scale, such as cities or communities and houses or buildings, without reliable observational data. This study makes the best use of the nationwide surveys carried out by Korean government agencies for the analysis of urban crime patterns and factors in major Korean cities. The aims of this research are threefold: understanding the relationship between urban crime patterns and socio-economic differences in cities, determining the effect of residence types on the urban crime patterns; and uncovering potential influential factors of a crime victim's individual characteristics. The statistical methods used for the analysis of social statistical data are as follows: simple regression, logistic regression, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc test. This research found that the patterns of urban crime rate in cities have a certain tendency toward the cities' socio-economic and geographical differences. The residence type is an influential factor showing a close relation to the crime rate. Personal issues, such as the types of occupation, education, marriage, etc., are directly relevant to victims of crime.

The Periodontal Examination Profile of General Dentists in Nova Scotia, Canada

In this cross-sectional study we investigate the extent to which general dentists in Nova Scotia carry out periodontal examinations of their patients. In addition, factors that significantly influence performing a periodontal examination by a dentist are identified. A survey questionnaire was mailed to all 443 general dentists practicing in the province of Nova Scotia in the summer of 2009. The survey included questions on demographics and the various components of the periodontal examination. Simple and multiple logistic regression tests were used to analyze the results. Of the 279 (63%) responses received, 272 (61%) responses were eligible to be included in the analyses. The majority of responders (94.8%) reported performing periodontal examinations of their patients. However, only 37.8% and 43.3% of the dentists reported performing full-mouth and selective probing depth measurements, respectively. Dentists who practiced in urban locations (P = 0.05), dentists whose practices were situated <5 km from a periodontist (P = 0.08), and dentists who planned to take a continuing education course in periodontal plastic surgery in the next 2 years (P = 0.07) were more likely to perform a periodontal examination. Although the majority of dentists in our study report performing periodontal examinations of their patients, only a small portion report recording complete probing depth measurements or using appropriate radiographs in their examinations. These practices could lead to an underestimation of diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease.

Neurologically Symptomatic Epidural Hematoma after Lumbar Spine Surgery - Comparative Study for Risk Factors -

Study Design: Retrospective and controlled study Objectives: To verify the risk factors, distinction of symptomatic and prognosis of the postoperative neurologically symptomatic epidural hematoma at the lumbar region. Summery of Literature Review: Even though an epidural hematoma is one of the well known causes of postoperative neurological complications, the rarity makes it difficult to account for the causes of this phenomenon. Material and Methods: Eight patients who had a proven neurologically symptomatic epidural hematoma were reviewed. We analyzed the degrees of neurologic recovery according to the initial degree of the neurological deficit and the time to the hematoma evacuation. Two hundred four patients who underwent a lumbar operation during the months contemporary with the occurrence of each cases (ed note: I do not know what this means.) by the same surgeon, were selected as the control group. Results: Among the 2,951 patients, 8 patients (0.027%) developed such complication. Using a simple logistic regression test, an increased amount of bleeding, a prolonged operation time, a decreased platelet count before and after surgery, hypertension and previous cardiovascular disease were recognized as significant risk factors, but the statistical significance was lost in all factors by multiple logistic regression test. There was no significant correlation between the neurological recovery and initial neurological deficit or retardation before the hematoma evacuation. Conclusions: Compressive epidural hematoma following lumbar spine surgery can cause serious neurological symptom. Significant risk factors were not demonstrated. Therefore, it can be developed in ordinary patients. All cases developed neurological symptom within the first 8 hours after surgery. Accordingly, cautious observation of the neurological changes at early period is important for detecting and treating such complication. The neurologically symptomatic epidural hematoma should be evacuated even in delayed cases, because neurological recovery can be expected.

Visual acuity in a diabetic population.

In a population study of all insulin-treated diabetics and a random sample of those treated with oral antihyperglycaemic agents (OHA) in Gotland, Sweden, the visual acuity (VA) was determined. The prevalence rates of visual impairment (VA 0.1-0.2) and blindness (VA less than 0.1) in the insulin-treated group were 4.9 and 4.4%, respectively, and in OHA-treated diabetics 7.2 and 1.4%. The impairment and blindness were due to diabetic retinopathy (Rp) in 72% of the insulin-treated group, but only in 14% of the OHA-treated diabetics in whom cataract and age-related maculopathy were the predominant causes. Blindness was four times more frequent among insulin-treated females than males. On simple logistic regression test VA correlated with Rp, age at examination, age at onset of diabetes, duration of diabetes and sex. However, on multiple logistic regression analysis the only significant relationships with VA were in the insulin-treated group, a correlation with Rp and age; and in the OHA-treated group, a correlation with age only. Thus the higher frequency of blindness in insulin-treated women was explained by Rp and age. When standardizing for age, the fraction of blind patients was found to be significantly higher among the insulin-treated than in the OHA-treated diabetics (6.7 vs 1.4%).

Relationship of Duration and Onset of Diabetes to Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy

In a population study of all registered insulin-treated diabetic patients on the Swedish island of Gotland, the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was determined with ophthalmoscopy, biomicroscopy, and color photography. Retinopathy was present in 173 of 368 patients (47%) and reached a prevalence of 100% after 30 years of diabetes. Proliferative retinopathy was found in 48 subjects (13%) and was more common in females (17%) than in males (9.4%) (P = .01). By simple logistic regression test, the prevalence of total and proliferative retinopathy was correlated with both duration and age at onset of diabetes (P less than .001). However, on multiple regression analysis only the relationship with duration was statistically significant (P less than .001); age at onset was not (P greater than .2). Age had an additional influence only on background retinopathy with hard exudates, which were more frequent in older subjects (P less than .01). Thus, age at onset of diabetes was not correlated with the prevalence of total or proliferative retinopathy.
