Salah satu risiko akibat hipertensi adalah gangguan kognitif meskipun ada risiko lain. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui korelasi hipertensi terhadap gangguan kognitif. Penelitian menggunakan analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Subyek dalam penelitian ini adalah 46 lansia di Panti Werdha Wana Seraya Denpasar. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner MMSE dan pengukuran tekanan darah. Prevalensi hipertensi dan gangguan kognitif adalah 47% (22/46) dan 47% (22/46). Di antara 39% (18/46) individu yang mengalami hipertensi, gangguan kognitif ditemukan perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0,000). Ada korelasi yang signifikan antara gangguan kognitif dengan hipertensi jika gangguan kognitif sebagai variable dependen (r = 0,636; p = 0,001). Kesimpulan terdapat korelasi antara gangguan kognitif dan hipertensi. Hipertensi mempengaruhi fungsi kognitif.

Background: High Body Mass Index (BMI) is known associated with mortality and morbidity among the elderly. However, other studies also show the opposite result in high BMI as protective against Activity Daily Living (ADL). Accurate quantification of the role of BMI in the incidence of disability in ADL is desirable in the face of the increasing prevalence of individuals with overweight and obesity and prolonged life span in the population. This study aims to investigate the association between Body Mass Index and Activity of Daily Living in population-based elderly.Method: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted in the urban and rural area of Bali Province, particularly in Buleleng and Tabanan regencies. BMI and Barthel Index score were recorded among respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17 for Windows and aP-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: A total of 167 respondents, 100 and 67 from the urban and rural area of Bali Province respectively, was predominant by 93 (55.7%) females and followed by 74 (44.3%) males. Spearman test found a significant weak positive correlation between weight and Activity of Daily Living (r= 0.168; p<0.05). In addition, a significant weak positive correlation was also found between BMI and ADL (r= 0.158; p<0.05).Conclusion: Our study showed increased values of BMI is a protective effect on ADL.

Red chili is one of the commodity crops grown in Indonesia. One of the factors that affect the production of red chili plants is fertilization. The application of organic fertilizer affects the yield and growth of red chili plants. This study aims to determine the response of the growth and development of red chili plants to the application of organic and inorganic fertilizers combined with biochar. This study was carried out at the Experimental Garden of the Local Waste Processing Site in Kusamba Village, Klungkung Regency, and the Laboratory of the Agrotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture Warmadewa University from March to November 2021. Soil and fertilizer testing were carried out at the Soil Science Laboratory, Udayana University. The study used an experimental method, the experimental design used was a one-factor randomized block design with 4 replications/block. The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of fruit per plant, fruit weight per plant, and fruit weight harvested per hectare. Based on the data obtained, the type of fertilizer treatment had a very significant effect on all observed variables except for plant height at 21 DAP per plant, the number of leaves at 21 DAP per plant, and the number of leaves at 28 DAP per plant had a significant effect on the treatment given. The application of NPK fertilizer gave the best results on all parameters except for the stem diameter parameter. On the stem diameter parameter, the application of asri nature fertilizers gives the best result. Control treatment (without fertilizer) gave the lowest yield in all observations.

Background: Frailty is characterized by a decrease in multi-organ physiological functions. Sarcopenia and frailty have a significant impact on individuals and society so it is necessary to know the prevalence in the community. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty in rural areasMethod: The was a cross-sectional study in the elderly population in the villages of Pedawa, Mangupura, Serai and Songan. Measurement of muscle mass using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and categorized based on the recommendation of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Frailty is established through a screening questionnaire based on the Cardiovascular Health Study. The study was chosen by simple random sampling and population register data.Results: The study involved 235 elderly people with 117 people in Pedawe village, 71 people in Mangupura village, 34 people in Serai village and 13 people in Songan village with a composition of 35.5% men and 64.5% women. In this study sarcopenia in women was 51% and men 49%, while frailty was experienced in 58.9% women and 41.02% men. The mean age is 67.7 years. The prevalence of total sarcopenia is 59% with the lowest percentage ranging from the villages of Mangupura (30%), Songan (53.8%), Pedawe (70.9%), and Serai (79.4%). The overall frailty prevalence in the four villages is 17% with the percentage starting from the lowest being Mangupura (1.4%), Serai (5.9%), Songan (22.2%) and Pedawe (29.1%).Conclusions: The prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty is most common among elderly women. The highest prevalence of sarcopenia was found in Serai village and frailty prevalence was highest in Pedawe village. Latar Belakang: Frailty ditandai dengan adanya penurunan fungsi fisiologis multi organ. Sarkopenia dan frailty memberikan dampak yang bermakna bagi individu dan bagi masyarakat sehingga perlu untuk mengetahui prevalensinya di masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi sarkopenia dan frailty di daerah pedesaanMetode: Penelitian menggunakan studi potong lintang pada populasi lansia di desa Pedawa, Mangupura, Serai dan Songan. Pengukuran massa otot menggunakan bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) dan dikategorikan berdasarkan rekomendasi Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Frailty ditegakkan melalui kuesioner skrining berdasarkan Cardiovascular Health Study. Penelitian dipilih dengan cara simple random sampling dan data register penduduk.Hasil: Penelitian melibatkan 235 orang lanjut usia dengan jumlah 117 orang di desa Pedawe, 71 orang di desa Mangupura, 34 orang di desa Serai dan 13 orang di desa Songan dengan komposisi 35,5% laki-laki dan 64,5% perempuan. Pada penelitian ini sarkopenia pada perempuan adalah 51% dan laki-laki 49%, sedangkan frailty dialami 58,9% perempuan dan 41,02% laki-laki. Rerata usia adalah 67,7 tahun. Prevalensi sarkopenia total adalah 59% dengan persentase masing-masing mulai dari yang terendah adalah desa Mangupura (30%), Songan (53,8%), Pedawe (70,9%), dan Serai (79,4%).  Prevalensi frailty keseluruhan di empat desa adalah 17% dengan persentase masing-masing  mulai dari yang terendah adalah desa Mangupura (1,4%), Serai (5,9%), Songan (22,2%) dan Pedawe (29,1%).Kesimpulan: Prevalensi sarkopenia dan frailty paling banyak ditemukan pada lansia perempuan. Prevalensi sarkopenia paling tinggi didapatkan di desa Serai dan prevalensi frailty didapatkan paling tinggi di desa Pedawe.
