“…Meanwhile, IPAQ long forms cover 4 domains including work-related activities, transportation, housework and gardening, and leisure time. 1,12 Physical activity improves energy balance and prevents obesity which is an independent risk factor of prediabetes. Physical activity reduces blood glucose and increases insulin sensitivity in DM patients.…”

Background: Physical activity refers to the movement of the body that causes the expenditure of energy for the maintenance of physical and mental health and is produced by skeletal muscle which is repeated over a period of time. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of physical activity on blood glucose level in high school teachers in Palu, Indonesia.Methods: This was a descriptive analytic research with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted in Palu city. Seventy-five pre-diabetic high school teachers in Palu city meeting the inclusion criteria participated in this study. Data analysis in this research was done using Ordinal Regression Test.Results: Overall, 40 respondents (53.3%) had moderate physical activity (600-1500 Mets), 32 respondents (42.7%) had heavy physical activity (>1500 Mets), and 3 respondents (4.0%) had light activity (<600 Mets). Spearman correlation test indicated a significant correlation between physical activity and blood glucose level in high school teachers in Palu City.Conclusions: Higher level of physical activity is associated with lower level of blood glucose.

“…In Amsterdam, Kemper et al [29] reported a clear increase in prevalence of obesity from youth to adulthood with a decrease in physical activity. However, undernutrition and low physical activity was high in the Ellisras rural population [30,31]. This might indicate that undernutrition as an indicator of NCD could be the cause of death or leads to permanent loss of follow-up of the ELS participants.…”

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for two out of three deaths worldwide with their profile changing from one country to another. But evidence to sustained these changes are still very limited in rural South African population. The well-characterized Ellisras Longitudinal Study (ELS) provides a unique opportunity of mapping some of these changes in vulnerable adolescent and young adults. The objective is we determined the extent of NCD risk factors derived from anthropometric and blood pressure measurements affected Ellisras Longitudinal Study (ELS) subjects over time for those who died or permanently lost to follow-up. A total of 2238 subjects aged 3-10 years (born between 1994 and 1986) were randomly selected to take part of the Ellisras Longitudinal Study (ELS) in November 1996. The attrition rate of ELS subjects based on death ranges between 0.71 and 3.73% for boys and 0.75 and 4.89% for girls. The prevalence of sever undernutrition ranges from 3.2 to 53%, moderate undernutrition ranges from 9.7 to 28.8%, while mild undernutrition ranges from 17.9 to 59.1% for both males and females. The prevalence of undernutrition was high while hypertension, obesity, and overweight were low in the population. The identification of appropriate NCD indicators for mortality in rural South African population needs more consideration and evaluation.

“…16 Today, from the same ELS sample measured from November to December 2015, the prevalence of obesity is high, particularly among the females. 17 Furthermore, it was clear from the previous analysis of this population that the prevalence of hypertension was emerging and low. 13,18 Currently, the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension are escalating in this Ellisras population.…”

Background: The South African National Development Plan (SANDP) vision for 2030 highlights key recommendations for reducing the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by 28% by 2030. These are mirrored by the World Heart Federation, although it focuses on reducing the NCD prevalence by 25% by 2025. The targeted diseases include, among others, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. Objectives: The aim was to contribute to discussion on the social responsibility, public good and community development functions of a university in South Africa, as derived from the Higher Education Act 101 of 1997 (as amended). Methods: The researcher's ontology links with this notion of the existence of multiple realities that exist among universities in South Africa, and provides the basis for a social construction epistemology. Different realities exist for the University of Limpopo. Results: The Dikgale Health and Demographic Surveillance System and the Ellisras Longitudinal Study, which both started in 1996 within the University of Limpopo, provide ample bush university outreach models on social responsibility, public good and community development. Community participation was central to the dissemination of research results. Conclusion: Social responsibility, public good and community development are core functions for a university, which should be treated as stand-alone roles, such as teaching, learning and research. The University of Limpopo has distinguished itself by being true to its vision of 'being a leading African university focused on the developmental needs of its communities and epitomising academic excellence and innovativeness'.
