This study aims to find out the influence of education of DM-concerned mothers on changes in knowledge and behavior of DM prevention. Quacy experimental study using the pre-test post-test design with control group. The study took the maternal population in Japanese villages, with purposive sampling techniques. Bivariate analysis tested differences in average results and changes in knowledge, as well as maternal behavior before and after intervention in one group tested with paired t-tests while between groups using independent ttest . The correlation test with Pearson and Rank spearman, while the effect size to see the effect. Paired ttest showed there are significant differences in knowledge and behavior before and after education in the intervention group (p<0.05). The Independent ttest showed there were differences in knowledge and behavior changes in the control and intervention groups (p<0.05). Test results (effect sizes 0.8 and 0.9) show DM education has an effect on changes in knowledge and preventive behavior. Changes in knowledge and behavior in the intervention group were higher than in the control group. The education provided has a strong influence on changes in maternal knowledge and behavior about dm prevention.

Hipertensi disebut sebagai silent killer karena penderita sering tidak menyadari maupun tidak memiliki masalah kesehatan sebagai tanda awal penyakit hipertensi. Indeks massa tubuh (IMT) secara signifikan menjembatani jalur antara jumlah konsumsi makanan dengan tekanan darah seseorang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui korelasi indeks massa tubuh dengan tekanan darah pada karyawan dan mahasiswi Politeknik Kudus. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian Observasional menggunakan data sekunder Posbindu mencakup data nama, antropometri (TB, BB), data tekanan darah, dan riwayat penyakit. Sehingga untuk melengkapi data dasar responden peneliti menggunakan tambahan kuesioner untuk menggali data. Sampel adalah mahasiswa dan karyawan Politeknik Kudus dengan teknik purposive sampling. Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson dan kekuatan hubungan (r). Hasil uji Pearson menunjukkan nilai p<0.05 sehingga variabel IMT memiliki hubungan yang bermakna terhadap tekanan darah dengan arah positif dan kekuatan houngan yang kuat (0.6). Uji korelasi menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang bermakna secara statistik antara variabel IMT dengan Variable Usia, Variable Penghasilan Keluarga, Variable Pekerjaan, Variable Pendidikan, Variable Riwayat penyakit dan Variable Informasi. Sedangkan tekanan darah memiliki hubungan yang bermakna terhadap usia dengan kekuatan hubungan yang sedang dan arah positif. Semakin tinggi skor IMT yaitu masuk kategori berat badan berlebih dan obesitas maka semakin tinggi tekanan darahnya. Semakin tua usia seseorang maka terjadi peningkatan tekanan darah.

Non-communicable diseases cause 71% of deaths in the world. Dyslipidemia has been established as the cause of various non-communicable diseases such as obesity (PERKENI, 2019). A person's weight gain is in line with the increase in serum cholesterol. This study aims to find out the correlation of body mass index with cholesterol levels in employees and students of Kudus Polytechnic. This study is a type of observational study using Posbindu secondary data including name, anthropometric (TB, BB), cholesterol level data, and disease history. So as to complete the basic data respondents researchers use additional questionnaires to dig up the data. The sample were students and employees of Kudus Polytechnic with purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis uses pearson correlation test and relationship strength (r).  Pearson test results show values (p<0.05) so that BMI variables have a meaningful relationship to blood cholesterol levels. Correlation (r = 0.4) indicates a moderate correlation.  The higher a person's BMI, the higher his blood cholesterol levels. In external variables, cholesterol levels have a meaningful relationship with age. The strength of the relationship is moderate and the positive direction so that the more mature the age then there is an increase in cholesterol levels.

Lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic caused changes in the perception of hunger, satiety and increased eating behavior in people around the world. As many as 48% of people feel their weight has increased. The increase in the incidence of obesity is inevitable. Obesity is widely associated with poor body image. This study wanted to explore differences in BMI and body image perceptions between men and women and the correlation between body image perceptions and nutritional status. This research is an analytical observational using a cross sectional design. The study took a population of adults living in Pancur Village, Mayong, Jepara with purposive sampling technique. Correlation test using Spearman's rank and (r) to see the strength of the relationship between body image perception and BMI. While the independent t-test to see differences in perception and BMI in adult men and women. The results of the Independent t-test showed that there were differences in body image perceptions for men and women, there were differences in BMI for men and women (p<0.05), and the Spearman rank test had a positive correlation between body image perceptions and BMI Nutritional status. (p<0.0009). Adult men and women have different perceptions of body image and nutritional status. Adult women are more concerned about the perception of their body image for themselves and in the eyes of others than adult men. The better the perception of body image, the closer the nutritional status to normal.
