“…[16][17][18] In the Indonesian elderly, Fatmah obtained an r of 0.765 in elderly men and 0.609 on elderly women (P<0.05 in male and female). 19 These results indicate that height and arm span strongly correlate at almost all ages, from children to the elderly. Wongsodjaja 16 In contrast, South African and Turkish children had longer height than arm span.…”

Background Sitting height, sitting height/height ratio (SHR), arm span, and arm span-height difference (AHD) are indices to diagnose conditions of disproportion. Reference data on sitting height, SHR, arm span, and AHD for Indonesian children are limited.Objective To compile reference data on sitting height, SHR, arm span, and AHD in Indonesian adolescents, and to compare these indices for boys and girls at various ages.Methods A population-based survey was conducted from August 2016 to November 2017 in three high schools in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit healthy adolescents without history of chronic disease, history of physical trauma, and/or physical disabilities. All subjects underwent anthropometric measurements (height, weight, sitting height, and arm span), and their ethnic origins were noted. The lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) method was used for reference construction. ResultsOf 639 subjects, 42% were male. Body mass index (BMI) values were similar between males and females. Mean height, weight, sitting height, and arm span of males were greater than those of females. The mean male and female SHRs were 51.1 (SD 1.6) % and 51.0 (SD 1.6) %, respectively (P=0.36), while the mean AHDs were 4.2 (SD 4.5) cm and 3.4 (SD 4.1) cm, respectively (P=0.02). The formula to estimate height based on arm span in males was [height = (0.78 x arm span) + 32.14] in cm. The formula in females was [height = (0.66 x arm span) + 50.59] in cm. ConclusionThere was no significant difference in SHR between male and female adolescents. However, males have significantly larger mean AHD than females. We provide references on sitting height, SHR, arm span, and AHD in male and female adolescents. [Paediatr Indones. 2018;58:138-45; doi: http://dx.doi.

“…Protein plays an important role in the synthesis of hormones, enzymes, and immune substance which are parts of the body immune system against disease. Inadequate consumption of protein and amino acids also affect immune status as it is associated with damage to the number and function of cellular immunity and decrease in antibody response (Fatmah 2010).…”

“…Vitamin C maintains cell integrity and protects it against reactive oxygen during an inflammatory response. Vitamin C increase phagocyte activity and tumor resistance, as well as increases interferon levels, lymphocytes, and macrophages activity, also improves migration and mobility of leukocytes from a viral infection like influenza (Fatmah 2010).…”

“…Elderly are susceptible to infections and gastrointestinal problems because of various kinds of risk factors including their slow immune response, decreased organ function, malnutrition, immunity, physical activity, and the presence of comorbidity (Guillemard 2010;Fatmah 2010;Darmojo 2010). Lymphocytes are one of the main components of the immune system which recognize and eliminate virus-infected cells (Nugroho 2008).…”

This study aimed to assess the effect of kidney bean yoghurt on the immune system and sleep quality in healthy elderly subjects in Yogyakarta. The study included 17 healthy elderly aged 60-81 years. The study design was a quasi-experimental, before and after design conducted at the Abiyoso Institutional Care for elderly in Yogyakarta from April to May 2018. The subjects were given 200 ml kidney bean yoghurt everyday for 14 days. The immune system status was measured by lymphocyte count and the sleep quality was measured by the PSQI with higher scores in dicating worse sleep quality. Paired t-test was used for data analysis. Lymphocyte count after intervention (28.89±7.09) was higher than before intervention (25.96±7.41), and it was statistically significant (p=0.006). The sleep quality index after the intervention (4.88±1.83) was lower than before intervention (8.06±3.09) and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.001). This intervention study indicates that kidney bean yoghurt significantly improves both immune systems and sleeps quality among our elderly subjects.

“…1 Knee height, a part of leg length, has been used as a measurement to estimate stature, especially in elderly or critically ill patients; other such measurements include leg length, sitting height, arm span, and upper-to-lower segment ratio. [2][3][4] Knee height or leg length assessment in children changes with age, especially during puberty. In clinical practice, knee height is rarely used to estimate body height in children.…”

Background Knee height (KH) is rarely used to estimate stature in children, although its measurement might have benefit because not influenced by some musculoskeletal disorder in spinal region. Knee height and knee height/height ratio are typical in children due to different in pubertal timing of each child. Objective To derive a formula to estimate body height using knee height and to analyze the patterns of knee height and knee height/height ratio of healthy schoolchildren. Methods This cross-sectional study involved healthy children in one elementary school and one junior high school in Surakarta, Central Java. Demographic data were collected (sex, age, and ethnicity). All anthropometric measurements (height, weight, sitting height, and knee height) were taken three times, and their means were calculated. Linear regression analysis was used to compare height from knee height and sitting height. Non-parametric analysis through locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) was used to analyze the growth patterns of knee height, knee height/height ratio, and sitting height/height ratio. Results There were 633 children (328 boys and 305 girls) in this study. The formulas for the estimation of height were as follows: for boys, 2.40 × KH (cm) + 1.36 × age (years) + 20.31; and for girls, 2.48 × KH (cm) + 1.15 × age (years) + 19.58 (adjusted R2=0.97). Knee height increased earlier than sitting height in both boys and girls during childhood to adolescent period. Boys had a longer period of knee height increment than girls. Conclusion Knee height may be a useful alternative to estimate height in children. Knee height increases faster than height and sitting height in both boys and girls.
