Abstract

Background: Central obesity, which has increased in hypertensive patients over the past ten years, is a risk factor for long term complications such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. These diseases have health consequences ranging from increasing risk of early death to severe chronic conditions reducing the quality of life. When a person becomes overweight or obese at a young age, the incidence and severity of long-term complications due to obesity also increases significantly.

Objectives: This cross-sectional research study identifies the difference between sleep quality and other factors of central obesity in hypertensive patients. The study sample included hypertensive patients studied at the Puskesmas Tegal Gundil.

Material and Method: We recruited 92 hypertensive patients from Puskesmas Tegal Gundil, North Bogor District.Data were collected in 2017. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess physical and sedentary activity. Sleep quality and duration were assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat and dietary fiber intake are analyzed with the semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and Nutrisurvey software.

Result: The frequency of central obesity in our sample was 82.6%, and there were significant relationships between central obesity and sleep quality, energy and carbohydrate intake.

Conclusion: A dietary approach to stop hypertension for Indonesians (DASHI) should be socialized for hypertensive patients.

Abstract

This study to determine the impact of physical activity on the nutritional status of elderly people. This longitudinal study used 2007 pre erlderly aged 55-59 years (808 subjects) and followed for 7 years untuil 2014. Data physical activity were assessed to evaluate changes in nutritional status as body mass index (BMI). The factors associated with nutritional status are reported in this study. For 7 years, no physical activity changes were reported (60,8%). Physical activity changes were only reported by a few subjects (16,1%), and improved from no physical activity to periods of < 30 min or ≥ 30 min. BMI increased as physical activity decreased, in terms of both types and duration. Regular physical activity is an important factor to enhance the quality of life for elderly people.

Abstract

Objectives: Physical inactivity has become a global health concern that is associated with consequences such as premature death. In particular, lack of physical activity may impair blood-pressure control, potentially causing complications in hypertensive patients. The general objective of the present study was to elucidate the effect of sleep duration on physical activity of hypertensive patients of the Puskesmas Tegal Gundil in Bogor City, Indonesia.

Method: This studyusing a cross-sectional analysis with 97 hypertensive who were treated at the Puskesmas Tegal Gundil in 2017. Physical activity was determined using the Global Physical Activity questionnaire, and items about sleep duration, sleep quality, and stress, from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Assessment, and Perceived Stress Scale questionnaires. Results: The results from this study showed that 32% of the respondents had less of physical activity.

Conclusion: Physical activity was found to be unrelated to sleep duration; in contrast, higher age was associated with less physical activityin patients with hypertension.

Abstract

Indonesia has been facing serious nutritional problems for many decades. Undernutrition has not been resolved, but overnutrition problems occur in all stages of life.This study was conducted to determine the effect of children’s stunted growth on adult obesity in Indonesia.The research design was a longitudinal study using secondary data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 1 in 1993, IFLS 2 in 1997, IFLS 3 in 2000, IFLS 4 in 2007 and IFLS 4 in 2014. The population of this study was comprised of children who were observed until they became adults. Total eligible sample was 927 subjects.Our results showed the proportion of stunting in children aged 1–5 years to be 50.2% decreased at the age of 15–19 years old (25.1%). This contrasts with the proportion of obesity that increased when subjects were aged 5–9 years (1.6%) at the age 22–26 years old (14.4%). The analysis suggest that children’s stunted growth does not affect adult obesity. Father's obesity status, living in urban areas, and low consumption of fruits and vegetables can affect adult obesity.

Abstract

Background:Hypertension is influenced by various factors including genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Objectives:We aimed to identify factors associated with hypertension among adults in West Java, Indonesia. Material and Method: The study design was a cross-sectional approach using secondary data from the ‘Cohort Study of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD)’ conducted in Kebon Kalapa Village, Bogor City, Indonesia in 2017. This descriptive study used a structured questionnaire to collect primary data distributed to respondents after obtaining their consent. Nutritional status and blood pressure data were collected from participants. A 24-h dietary recall was conducted to collect nutrient intake data. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS software version 24.0. Results:The prevalence of hypertension in this study was 34.2% and 23.9% of respondents were hypertensive. Bivariate analysis revealed that age 45–59 years, female gender, history of hypertension, overweight, and obesity were associated with hypertension status (P values = 0.0005, respectively, and odds ratios = 2.59, 2.37, 40.06, 7.60 and 10.04, respectively). Conclusions:Factors associated with hypertension among adults in West Java, Indonesia included older age, female gender, history of hypertension, and nutritional status.
