Background: Children are categorized as short stature when the Height for Age results are below the 3rd percentile of CDC growth chart standard. Short stature on children will have an impact on increased mortality and morbidity, children's cognitive development, and psychological abilities. This study aims to investigate the effect of short stature on cognitive abilities and psychosocial condition of primary school children. Subjects and Method:A cross-sectional study was conducted at Pasar Kliwon 01 Primary School, Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 81 students from 3rd -5th grades of were selected by consecutive sampling. The dependent variables were cognitive ability and psychosocial condition. The independent variable was body height. Body height was measured by microtoise. Cognitive ability was assessed based on mathematics, Indonesian language, and natural sciences score. Psycho-social condition was assessed using Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Short stature increased cognitive ability (OR= 2.86; 95% CI= 1.03 to 7.92; p= 0.043), and it was statistically significant. Short stature increased psychosocial condition, (OR= 2.24; 95% CI= 0.51 to 9.70; p= 0.279), but it was statistically non-significant. Conclusion: Short stature increases cognitive ability and psychosocial condition.

Sopir sebagai tenaga kerja di suatu perusahaan memegang peran penting dalam proses peningkatan produktivitas kerja. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya dilaporkan durasi mengemudi untuk sopir mobil tangki rata-rata 8 – 12 jam per hari dan dengan waktu istirahat 3 - 4 jam membuat sopir tidak dapat mendapatkan kualitas tidur yang baik yang akhirnya dapat mempengaruhi produktivitas kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan durasi mengemudi dan kualitas tidur terhadap produktivitas kerja. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional analitik, dengan desain cross-sectional. Responden diambil dari AMT PT Pertamina Patra Niaga TBBM Boyolali sejumlah 125 responden dengan teknik quota sampling. Variabel bebas dalam penelitian durasi mengemudi dan kulaitas tidur, dengan variabel terikat adalah produktivitas kerja. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner PSQI untuk mengukur kualitas tidur dan data sekunder perusahaan untuk mengukur durasi mengemudi dan produktivitas kerja. Teknik analisis data dengan uji Korelasi Pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan  125 responden memiliki rata-rata durasi mengemudi sebesar 2,534 jam, kualitas tidur sebesar 2,779, dan produktivitas kerja sebesar 0,0593 kL/jam. Hasil uji korelasi Pearson menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara durasi mengemudi dengan produktivitas kerja AMT (p= 0,001, p ≤ 0,05), dan tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara kualitas tidur dengan produktivitas kerja AMT (p= 0,608, p > 0,05). Maka perusahaan perlu memberikan kebijakan untuk waktu mengemudi selama 12 jam membutuhkan waktu istirahat selama 1 jam dan memberikan edukasi kesehatan bagi AMT mengenai cara menjaga kualitas tidur yang baik oleh paramedis perusahaan.

BACKGROUND: Adolescents experience bio-psychosocial change in their developmental stages. These changes influence their perception about their body look. Some start to dislike their appearance. Someone's religiosity may protect them from the negative impact of the environment. Meanwhile, the mass media campaign about "slim ideal" for women and "shape and muscle" for men, is massive. This study aimed to examine the association between body mass index (BMI), religiosity, mass media, and body image in adolescents. SUBJECT AND METHODS: This was a cross sectional study. A sample of 116 students was selected at random for this study from one public and one private senior high school in Surakarta, Indonesia. The dependent variable was negative body image. The independent variables included body mass index (BMI), religiosity, and exposure to "slim ideal" mass media. Body image was measured using Body Shape Questionnaire. Religiosity was measured using Duke University Religion Index Questionnaire. The data was analyzed using linear regression model. RESULTS: BMI (b=3.22; 95%CI 2.08 to 4.36; p<0.001) and exposure to "slim ideal" mass media (b=16.35; 95%CI 1.92 to 30.78; p=0.027) had positive association with negative body image, and it was statistically significant. Religiosity (b=-3.10; 95%CI-11.86 to 5.64; p=0.483) had negative association but statistically not significant with negative body image. CONCLUSION: BMI and exposure to "slim ideal" mass media have positive association with negative body image in adolescents.
