Obesitas pada anak berisiko tinggi menjadi obesitas dewasa dan berpotensi mengalami penyakit seperti penyakit kardiovaskular. Obesitas akan menyebabkan masalah kesehatan pada anak usia sekolah yaitu sekitar 20-30% anak menderita hipertensi, diabetes meillitus tipe 2 dan sleep apnea. Anak juga akan mengalami gangguan psikososial seperti depresi dan rasa percaya diri yang rendah. Salah satu faktor penyebab obesitas pada anak usia sekolah yaitu sedentary behaviour terdiri dari membaca, duduk, dan screen based activity (menonton televisi, bermain video game, bermain komputer dan bermain smartphone). Hasil riset di Bali khususnya di Kota Denpasar, anak usia lebih dari sepuluh tahun yang melakukan sedentary behaviour terbanyak yaitu selama 6 jam per harinya dan hasilnya sebesar 44,0%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi sedentary behaviour pada anak usia sekolah di Kecamatan Denpasar Timur. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan desain penelitian menggunakan studi kohort. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah anak sekolah dasar usia 10-12 tahun yang berjumlah 122 anak.  Hasil yang diperoleh bahwa sedentary behavior yang paling banyak dilakukan oleh anak usia sekolah adalah screen based activity khususnya menonton televisi. Orangtua disarankan untuk membatasi aktivitas menonton televisi pada anak dan meningkatkan aktivitas fisik.

Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) or worm disease which is transmitted with the help of soil media is still endemic in Indonesia. STH infection generally attacks elementary school-aged children (SD) and can hinder growth and development. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge about the definition, risk factors, mode of transmission, symptoms, impact, and prevention of STH infection in students of SDN 8 Ungasan. This research is quantitative and descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 60 students in grades 4, 5, and 6. Based on the study results, the majority of the sample was male as much as 66,7% with an average age of 11 years. The level of students' knowledge about STH infection was good (76,7%), sufficient (13,3%), and poor (10%) with the question domain regarding general knowledge about STH being the most correct (95%). The conclusion of this study is that the majority of students' knowledge level at SDN 8 Ungasan is good. Efforts to increase children's knowledge about worms must be carried out regularly by both the school and the local health center so that all children understand and can do ways to prevent STH worms independently.

Fatigue is one of the clinical manifestations of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and is the most frequently complained by patients. One of the factors that affect fatigue is blood sugar levels. The fasting blood sugar level (KGDP) is a good measure of blood sugar levels because the patient must fast for 8-10 hours before having their blood sugar checked. This study aims to determine the relationship between fasting blood sugar levels and fatigue in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The research design was correlative descriptive with a cross-sectional approach with a purposive sampling technique and a sample size of 30 people. Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) and a glucometer were used for fatigue and KGDP measurements. The results show that the average age of the respondents is 62,77 ± 9,5 years with the majority being women and elementary school education level. The average KGDP of respondents was 146,53 ± 53,22 and the average fatigue value was 48,03 ± 10,03 which is included in the moderate category. This study was analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. Bivariate analysis showed a value of p = 0,186 which means that there was no statistical relationship between fasting blood sugar levels and fatigue in type 2 DM patients. These results were obtained because some respondents had high fatigue scores while low KGDP values and vice versa. Respondents at the research location were still able to carry out their daily activities well which might have contributed to the MFI score. HbA1c examination is needed to determine the blood sugar level of the patient.
