Background: Individuals tend to develop metabolic disorders and other chronic diseases, due to the poor conduction of physical activities. Meanwhile, a high level of physical activity positively affects the quality of life. However, irrespective of the numerous studies reported on the correlation between age, weight, and physical activity, there is limited study on the differences of physical activities in the geriatric and adult groups of obese and non-obese people. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the effect of age and weight on physical activity in geriatric and adult groups. Design and methods: The purposive sampling technique was used to obtain data from 154 respondents from community-integrated health care in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. These respondents were equally divided into two groups of adult (21-60 years) and geriatric (>60 years) groups. Results: The Chi-Square test showed that there were no significant differences between physical activity in the obese and nonobese people of the geriatric groups (P>0.05). Conversely, in the adult group, there were significant differences between physical activities and the age of obese and non-obese groups (P<0.05).Conclusions: In conclusion, age affects physical activity in adult and geriatric groups.

Introduction: Construction workers tend to be exposed to air pollution which reduces lung function. Vitamin D is a factor that is closely related to a person's lifestyle. Including physical activity can improve lung function and vitamin D. Aim of study: This study aims to determine the profile of vitamin D, physical activity, and lung health in builders. Method: This research was conducted in September 2018-January 2019, which is located in East Surabaya. This study used a data collection technique with a questionnaire to measure vitamin D status and physical activity. Meanwhile, the measurement of lung function is by measuring the value of the FEV1 / FVC (forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity) ratio using spirometry. The research sample was a pedicab driver without respiratory problems. The data analysis used is descriptive using profiles of vitamin D status, physical activity, and lung function conditions. Results and discussion: The majority of respondents experienced vitamin D deficiency as many as 120 people (75.95%). Most of the respondents also had heavy physical activity (48.73%). Meanwhile, regarding lung health, as many as 50% of people do not have lung function disorders, and some have mild (37.34%) and severe (12.66%) lung disorders. Conclusion: Construction workers are at risk for vitamin D deficiency and pulmonary function disorders, despite having a heavy level of physical activity.

ABSTRAKAsma adalah salah satu masalah kesehatan utama dunia. Gejala asma yang sebenarnya dapat diobati dan dikendalikan sehingga mencegah serangan yang serius. Apoteker perlu memainkan perannya dalam pharmaceutical care (pelayanan kefarmasian) yang bertujuan untuk menemukan sistem perawatan kesehatan yang diperlukan untuk meningkatkan nilai terapi obat kompleks dan signifikan obat morbiditas dan mortalitas terkait, berfungsi untuk meningkatkan hasil farmakoterapi dan kualitas hidup pasien asma. Persepsi pasien terhadap kesehatan dan penyakit terkait juga sangat penting utnuk efektifitas perawatan farmasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari peran apoteker dalam perawatan farmasi dalam pengobatan rawat jalan asma bronkial. Jenis penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional. Jumlah responden 22 Pasien. Data diperoleh dengan wawancara langsung untuk mengumpulkan data, disertai dengan pengamatan dari pasien. Hasil: jumlah drug-related problems (DRPs) adalah 20 kasus (problem based) dan 23 kasus (caused-based). Kelas obat yang menyebabkan DRPs terbanyak adalah beta-2 agonis. Pesrsepsi subjektif dari gejala yang dialami oleh sebagian besar pasien dengan asma adalah : sesak napas (100%), suara mengi (90%), kelelahan dan kesulitan tidur (85%). Aspek kognitif penyakit yang dirasakan oleh pasien mengenai identitas, penyebab penyakit dan menyembuhkan atau mengendalikan penyakit adalah benar, tetapi tentang konsekuensi dan timeline masih kurang. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peran apoteker dalam perawatan farmasi pada pasien asma rawat jalan memiliki sifat konseling langsung ke pasien dan pemantauan. Pemantauan pasien secara teratur dan analisis terjadinya DRPs untuk membantu pasien mendapatkan pengobatan yang efektif, aman dan rasional. Kata kunci: asma, pelayanan kefarmasian, drug-related problems, persepsi sakit. ABSTRACT Asthma is one of the major health problems in the world. Actual asthma symptoms can be treated and controlled, so that most patients can prevent the onset of symptoms throughout the day, to prevent a serious attack. Pharmacists play a role in pharmaceutical care that aims to find health care system needed to improve drug therapy of complex and significant value of drug-related morbidity and mortality, functions to improve pharmacotherapy outcomes and quality of life of patients with asthma. The patient's belief about health and illness and related behaviors are also very important to the effectiveness of pharmaceutical care. Objective research to study the role of pharmacists in pharmaceutical care in the treatment of outpatient asthma bronchiale. The type of study was cross-sectional. The number of respondents recruited was 22 patients. In this study data were obtained by direct interview using a form of data collection, accompanied by observations of the patients. Result research Patients involved in this study were 22. The total numbers of DRPs were 20 cases (problem-based) and 23 cases Pharmacist's Strategies In Treating Asthma Bronchiale Outpatient J. Trop.
