Abstrak (OR = 2,6; p = 0,052), dan juga hipertensi (OR = 1,758; p = 0,498). IMT berhubungan dengan hipertensi (OR = 3,354; p = 0,041), tetapi tidak berhubungan dengan prehipertensi (OR = 2,343; p = 0,099). Kesimpulan: Prevalensi prehipertensi dan hipertensi cukup tinggi pada dewasa muda di pelayanan kesehatan dasar di daerah pedesaan. Intervensi untuk mencegah penyakit yang lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan sejak dini dengan modifikasi gaya hidup karena tekanan darah berhubungan dengan faktor risiko yang dapat diubah, AbstractBackground: Prehypertension and hypertension were related with many complications of nearly every organ, but often neglected by young adults in rural area. This research was done to observe the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension among young adult in a primary health care of rural area at Cicurug, Sukabumi District, West Java.

Background Anemia in children and adolescents affects growthand development. It is a preventable disease, but unfortunately isoften ignored until the symptoms occur. There have been limitedreports on the prevalence of anemia in children and adolescentsin Indonesia, especially from rural areas.Objective To describe the prevalence of anemia in children andadolescents in district ofMalinau, a rural area in East KalimantanProvince.Methods This cross-sectional study was done in June 20 10 usinglaboratory records between July 2009 to January 20 10. Laboratoryrecords of patients aged between 6 months and 18 years whichinvestigated were complete blood count (CBC) from ambulatory,inpatient, and emergency care ofMalinau Public Hospital in EastKalimantan. Mentzer and England & Fraser indices were used todifferentiate iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia amongmicrocytic hypochromic anemic patients.Results This study involved 709 laboratory records. Prevalenceof anemia was 53 .9% (95% CI 50.2% to 57 .5%) . The prevalenceof IDA among age groups were as follows: 29.4% (95% CI 24.3to 34.5%) in 6- 59 months group, 16% (95% CI 11 to 21 %) in5- 11.9 years, and 15.2% (95% CI 10.2 to 20.2%) in 12- 18 years.Children aged 6- 59 months tended to have more anemia th anthose aged 5- 11.9 years (OR 2. 184, 95% CI 1.398 to 3.413) oraged 12- 18 years (OR 2.3 19, 95% CI 1.464 to 3.674).Conclusion T he prevalence of an emia in children andadolescents of the Malinau Regency is 53 .9% (95% CI 50.2 to57.5%), quite similar to that of other developing countries . Agovernment program to overcome anemia is recommended, n otonly for pregnant women, but also for children and adolescents.

AbstrakLatar belakang: Peningkatan jumlah sindrom metabolik (MetS) (OR 12,13; 95% CI 2,46; p = 0,001), tekanan darah tinggi (OR 9,33; 95% CI 2,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)56; p = 0,001), HDL rendah (OR 8,33; 95% CI 2,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)05; p = 0,003), and glukosa puasa terganggu (p = 0,03) . Empat subjek mempunyai FRS ≥ 1% dan 66 subjek berisiko < 1%. Peningkatan FRS tidak berhubungan dengan MetS (p = 0,154). Tidak ada komponen MetS berhubungan dengan peningkatan FRS. Kesimpulan: Prevalensi MetS pada dewasa muda dengan obesitas hampir sama dengan pada anak-anak dan remaja dengan obesitas. Walaupun tidak didapatkan hubungan antara MetS dan FRS, keduanya merupakan AbstractBackground: The increase number of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) among young adults was mostly caused by obesity. MetS increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) which can be estimated by Framingham risk score (FRS). The study was aimed to know the prevalence of MetS and FRS in obese young adults and to associate them with the components of MetS.

Abstrak Latar belakang: Mengkonsumsi obat antiretrovirus dapat mengurangi morbiditas dan mortalitas orang dengan HIV/ AIDS (ODHA). AbstractBackground: Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can reduce morbidity and mortality of HIV-infected patients. However, it depends upon adherence to medication. The objective of this study was to examine the adherence to HAART and to evaluate individual patient characteristics i.e. self-effi cacy, depression level, and social support and to fi nally determine HAART adherence in selected regions in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Jakarta, Malang, Bandung, Makasar and Banda Aceh. The subject of the study was HIV-infected patients who were older than 13 years old and had taken HAART for at least a month. They were recruited consecutively then asked how many pills they had missed during the previous month. Poor adherence can be stated if the percentage of adherence rate is below 95%. HIV treatment adherence self-effi cacy scale (HIV-ASES), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL) was adapted to assess self-effi cacy, depression level and social support, respectively. Results: We found that 96 % (n=53) of the subjects adhered to HAART. There were no associations between adherence with self-effi cacy, depression level, and social support. The main cause of non-adherence in this study was 'simply forget'. Conclusion: Adherence to HAART was found to be high and not associated with self-effi cacy, depression level and social support in some central regions in Indonesia. (Med J Indones 2011; 20:50-5)
