Introduction: Malnutrition among toddlers can be correlated to family characteristics, access to food and the socioeconomic background of the family in rural and urban areas. These situations influence the children's nutrition status. Objectives: To identify the prevalence of malnutrition and the related factors among toddlers in rural and urban areas based on family characteristics in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional study was performed among 600 households with toddlers in rural and urban areas. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure family characteristics. The toddlers' height and weight were measured to identify their nutritional status. Data were analysed using Chisquare. Results: The prevalence of malnutrition among toddlers was higher in urban areas than in rural areas with underweight (59.7% vs. 40.3%), stunting (51.0% vs. 49.0%), and wasting (52.3% vs. 47.7%). There were no differences between underweight and stunting problems in urban and rural areas (p> 0.05). However, there were differences between wasting in urban and rural areas, related to mothers' education (p= 0.031) and mothers' occupation (p= 0.014) Conclusions: Mothers' education and the mothers' job status were significantly different regarding their effect on the child's wasted status in rural and urban areas (p<0.

BACKGROUND: To develop targeted and tailored interventions for addressing medication non-adherence, it is important to identify underlying factors. OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with nonadherence as well as subtypes of non-adherence to antihypertensive or antihyperlipidemic drugs among patients with type 2 diabetes in Indonesia. DESIGN: An observational multicenter cross-sectional survey. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with type 2 diabetes using either antihypertensive or antihyperlipidemic drugs in four regions in Indonesia. MAIN MEASURES: Non-adherence and its subtypes of intentional and unintentional non-adherence were assessed using the Medication Adherence Report Scale. Necessity and concern beliefs were assessed with the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire. We applied binary and multinomial logistic regression to assess associations of medication beliefs, sociodemographic factors, and clinical-related factors to non-adherence and report odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). KEY RESULTS: Of 571 participating patients (response rate 97%), 45.5% and 52.7% were non-adherent to antihypertensive and antihyperlipidemic drugs, respectively. Older age was associated with non-adherence to antihypertensive drugs (60-69 years) (OR, 5.65; 95% CI, 2.68-11.92), while higher necessity beliefs (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.88-0.95) were associated with less non-adherence. Factors associated with non-adherence to antihyperlipidemic drugs were female gender (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.03-3.27) and higher concern beliefs (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03-1.18), while higher necessity beliefs (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.83-0.96) were associated with less non-adherence. CONCLUSIONS:The main factors associated with nonadherence to antihypertensive and antihyperlipidemic drugs are modifiable. In general, beliefs about the necessity of the drug are important but for antihyperlipidemic drugs concerns are important as well. Healthcare providers should pay attention to identify and address medication beliefs during patient counselling.

Bullying behavior is an act of intimidation by a strong side against a weak side.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of obesity in children has reached the limit of the pandemic number. Obesity has become a major public health problem in Indonesia due to increasing prevalence. Aceh Province has a prevalence of obesity in children 6–14 years at 5.9% in 2013 and increased to 9.5% in 2017. AIM: Analyzing the effect of fiber intake, snack foods, breakfast, and sedentary on the incidence of obesity in elementary schoolchildren in the city of Banda Aceh. METHODS: This research used case–control design. Determination of the sample was done by probability sampling with cluster sampling technique. Study sample was of 84 children. Data collection was done by interviewing the parents, observation using questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out bivariate and using Chi-square statistical tests. RESULTS: School food intake from daily snacks (p = 0.001, odds ratio [OR] = 5) and fiber consumption (p = 0.017, OR = 3.3) was related to the incidence of obesity in elementary schoolchildren in Banda Aceh (p < 0.05). Sedentary behavior was associated with the incidence of obesity in primary schoolchildren (p = 0.002, OR = 4.6). Breakfast is not related to the occurrence of obesity in primary schoolchildren in the city of Banda Aceh. CONCLUSION: There was a significant influence between intake from daily snack foods, fiber consumption, and sedentary on the incidence of obesity in primary schoolchildren in the Banda Aceh City area.

Upaya pembangunan kesehatan adalah pengendalian vektor terutama lalat rumah sebagai penyebab menularnya penyakit sehingga perlu diupaya pengendalian. Salah satu tindakan pengendalian lalat rumah dapat dengan menggunakan kertas perekat dan umpan lalat karena bahan tersebut mudah ditemukan dan mudah pemakaiannya. Metode penelitian adalah pra eksperimen berdesain The Static Group Comporation. Pengumpulan data dengan cara observasi dan pengukuran parameter. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah uji T-test. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan dalam 3 kali replikasi adalah 168 ekor yang mati pada umpan lalat dan 64 ekor yang tertangkap pada perekat lalat, Hasil statistik mempunyai nilai p= 0,000, maka terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna dalam penggunaan perekat lalat dan umpan lalat dalam pengendalian Musca domestica. Kesimpulan penelitian terdapat perbedaan dalam penggunaan perekat lalat dan umpan lalat dalam pengendalian Musca domestica, dimana umpan lalat ternyata lebih efektif.
