Introduction: Obesity is a burgeoning health problem with few successful strategies to counter this epidemic or to truly comprehend preventable aspects of the problem. Objective: The present objective was to examine an increasing volume of research on obesity, stress, and sleep deprivation, and the possible implications of this research for obesity prevention. Methods: Data from major electronic data bases extending from 2000-2015 using the key words-stress, sleep, obesity, eating practices, and health were used to extract relevant peer reviewed literature and basic information. English language articles related to the topic were accepted if they discussed one of the issues of interest and were peer reviewed. Findings: A reasonable body of evidence documents an association between stress, abnormal eating behaviors, sleep deprivation and obesity, although not necessarily in that order. Conclusion: Teasing out the differential role of these overlapping factors and heightening public awareness of their linkages is of potential utility in efforts to prevent or reduce the obesity epidemic at both the individual and national level.
Background: Screening programs for the early diagnosis of breast cancer lead to perform several biopsies in order to determine the breast abnormalities found in sonography and mammography. According to gradually replacement of core needle biopsy instead of more invasive methods like open surgical biopsy, it seems necessary to study the concordance between biopsy results and non-invasive diagnostic methods in order to clarify ambiguous results and confirm the reliability of non-invasive methods. Objective: The objective of this study was to match the sonography and mammography reports with core needle biopsy in patients referred to Sahand core needle biopsy center. Materials and methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was performed on 240 patients referred to Sahand Center with sonography or mammography reports or by a surgeon for core needle biopsy. All the patients were examined by a gynecologist assistant and were asked about demographic information and their recent diseases. The matched sonography or mammography cases with pathology reports and positive predictive value based on comparison between them and pathology report were determined as standard diagnostic criteria. Then, data were statistically analyzed by SPSS v.21 software. Results: In this study, there was no statistically significant difference between sonography or mammography and pathology reports for categorizing patients in two distinct malignant and benign groups (p>0.05). There was also no difference observed in two age groups (p>0.05). In both sonography and mammography groups, the sensitivity and specificity were 60.32% and 92.96%, respectively. Moreover, the positive and negative predictive values of sonography and mammography were the same in both methods and were 70.37% and 86.56%, respectively. Conclusion: According to the significant concordance between sonographyand mammography with core needle biopsy, these non-invasive methods can be helpful in diagnosing malignant lesions and differentiating them from benign lesions; they are also affordable and available. The attention to underlying variables such as age, can improve sensitivity and specificity of non-invasive methods in comparison to invasive diagnostic methods.g.
Background. Indonesia has become the country with the highest elderly population in Southeast Asia which around 27 million people within 2020. Demographic bonus, where the productive age is higher than the non-productive age, should be optimized so that it becomes an opportunity to decrease the dependency ratio of the elderly over 65 years. However, increasing life expectancy has other implications which as the increase in health problems associated with the aging process, including the emergence of degenerative diseases. The concept of healthy aging formed due to the increase of public awareness to live within quality life and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and good nutrition. Healthy aging is the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age. Lifestyle improvement from the early stage will have a better effect on a person's lifelong health. Unfortunately, it is not widely known by the public, so awareness is not yet evident and benefits cannot be obtained optimally.Objectives. Healthy aging is the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age. The aim of this review is to raise awareness among the adult age group about the important role of physical activity and nutrition in achieving a healthy aging condition.Discussion. American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend adults aged 18–65 year to participate in moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for a minimum of 30 minutes on five days per week, or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes on three days per week. Moreover, recent WHO (2020) guideline towards physical activity and sedentary behavior recommend all adults to have moderate-intensity for 150 – 300 min or vigorous-intensity for 75 – 150 min per week. But this recommendation has not been able to reduce physical inactivity number in Indonesian society, especially adult and senior adult. There are some nutrition elements related to mobility health, mainly are protein, vitamin D, calcium, antioxidant and omega-3, and many studies report that Indonesian adults suffer deficiencies on these nutrition elements and cause health problems related to mobility. Health interventions should involved many stakeholders, e.g government, private sectors, NGO, mass media, and many more.Conclusions: The concept of healthy aging and interventions related to this need to be recognized and implemented as early as possible to get optimal results, and preferably starting from adulthood. Health interventions carried out must be holistic and synergize between physical activity, nutrition, mental health and other factors that play a role. A community-based approach is the easiest and fastest way to change mindsets and behavior patterns, and can be implemented in the work environment or other communities.
Latar belakang. Gangguan Pemusatan Perhatian/Hiperaktivitas (GPP/H) merupakan gangguan neuropsikiatrik yang disinyalir memberikan dampak negatif bagi kesehatan ketika dewasa. Tujuan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik fisik dan sosiodemografis anak dengan GPP/H, dan pengaruh kepatuhan latihan fisik terhadap perubahan prilaku pada anak GPP/H. Metode. Penelitian eksperimen, pre-post design dengan perlakuan latihan SKJ '88 dilakukan pada subjek penelitian di Sekolah Khusus Al-Ikhsan selama 8 minggu. Pemilihan sampel digunakan metode tanpa acak (non probability sampling) dengan jenis metode consecutive sampling, yaitu semua anak dengan GPP/H yang memenuhi kriteria pemilihan akan diikutsertakan dalam penelitian. Analisis data digunakan uji t satu sampel dan uji t berpasangan. Hasil. Di antara 40 subjek penelitian, didapatkan 19 (47,5%) sangat patuh dan 21 (52.5%) patuh. Nilai selisih rata-rata skor SPPAHI orangtua (SPPAHI-O) tiap tipe GPP/H didapatkan inatentif 46,2 (p<0,001), hiperaktif-impulsif 60,4 (p<0,001), campuran 47,6 (p<0,001) ditunjukkan adanya perbaikan perilaku di rumah. Nilai selisih rata-rata skor SPPAHI guru (SPPAHI-G) tiap tipe GPP/H didapatkan inatentif 41,7 (p<0,001), hiperaktif-impulsif 56,8 (p<0,001), campuran 42,2 (p<0,001) ditunjukkan adanya perbaikan perilaku di sekolah.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Obesity is a problem that is found all over the world. Individuals who has increased of waist circumference or body mass index will have reduced physical fitness. This condition can also be found in security personnel who need great physical fitness for their occupation. <strong>Objectives:</strong> To find the correlation between waist circumference as marker of central obesity and Cooper test result in security personnel. <strong>Methods:</strong> This cross-sectional study was done to security personnel at Faculty of Medicine University as Indonesia with measuring waist circumference and Cooper test or 12-minutes run test distance covered. <strong>Result:</strong> From 43 subjects, we found that central or abdominal obesity prevalence is 27.9% and the mean of distance covered on Cooper test is 1787.41 ± 271.71 m. Spearman correlation test from both variables give significant inversely proportional correlation. (p value = 0.02; r = −0.430; 95% CI = −0.672 − −0.150). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Increasing waist circumference in a person has correlation with decreasing physical fitness especially cardiorespiratory fitness.</p>
