Penurunan fungsi eksekutif terjadi pada hampir semua lansia yang disebabkan oleh perubahan biologis yang dialaminya dan umumnya berhubungan dengan proses penuaan. Tetapi penurunan fungsi eksekutif juga bisa terjadi karena kurangnya oksigenasi jaringan ke otak menyebabkan terjadi kerusakan neuron sehingga merubah struktur dan fungsi otak yang diakibatkan adanya sumbatan karena kelebihan kolesterol. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Hubungan kolesterol total terhadap fungsi eksekutif lansia di Posbindu Lansia RW 02 Kota Depok. Penelitian ini merupakan studi analitik, menggunakan cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Posbindu Lansia RW 02 Kota Depok. Sampel adalah lansia berusia 60 tahun keatas dan memiliki status pendidikan minimal SD serta tidak mengalami gangguan pendengaran yang datang ke Posbindu Lansia RW 02 Kota Depok. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan yaitu non probability sampling dengan metode purposive sehingga didapatkan 102 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan ialah Trail-Making Test B. Hasil uji Chi-Square menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat pendidikan dan tingkat usia terhadap fungsi eksekutif pada lansia (p=0,026 dan p=0,001). Untuk kolesterol total dan jenis kelamin, tidak dijumpai adanya hubungan dengan fungsi eksekutif lansia (p=0,165, p=0,217). Kata kunci: kolesterol, fungsi eksekutif, lansia ABSTRACT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOTAL CHOLESTEROL LEVEL AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ELDERLY TO THE BRAIN EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS AT POSBINDU (POS BINAAN TERPADU) RW 02 DEPOK CITY In the normal process of aging, human will loose neuron cells every day. The lost would affect many brain functions. One of them is cognitive function, especially to its executive function. The effect happens to almost everyone and is caused by the biological changes in their bodies during the aging process. However, it may also be caused by the lack of oxygenation or oxygen perfusion to the brain tissue, which is caused by high levels of cholesterol that may create a blockage in the blood vessel and would, in turn, cause neuron demage, change brain structure and function. The objectives of this research were to discover the correlation of the total cholesterol levels and characteristics sampel to the executive function of the elderly at Posbindu lansia RW 02 Kota Depok. This research was an analytical study of cross sectional (with 95% confidence level) done at Posbindu lansia RW 02 Kota Depok. The samples are elderly aged 60 years or more, they had educational status at least elementry school, they did not have hearing problem, and must attend the activity at Posbindu RW 02 Depok City when the study done. The sampling was purposive, and 102 subjects recruited. The instrument used in this research was Trail Making Test-B.The results of chi-square test showed that there were no correlations between total cholesterol levels and sex to their executive functions of elderly. However, between age group and educational level to brain executive functions indicated significant differences (p=0,026 dan ...

A specific phobia is an exaggerated, irrational fear of a particular object or situation that is avoided at all costs or faced with great stress. The essential characteristic is a real and persistent fear of objects or situations that can be seen. A case was found, a 13-year-old girl with the initials SA was brought by her 32 years mother, Mrs. MN, 32 years old, to the general polyclinic of Takari Health Center.
