ABSTRAKStroke merupakan penyakit neurologik yeng terjadi karena gangguan suplai darah menuju suatu bagian otak. Angka kejadian stroke meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya usia, semakin tinggi usia seseorang semakin tinggi kemungkinan terjadi stroke. Menurut penyebabnya stroke dibagi dua yaitu stroke hemoragik akibat pecahnya pembuluh darah otak dan stroke iskemik (stroke non hemoragik) akibat adanya trombus atau embolus pada pembuluh darah otak. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan stroke, yang terdiri dari faktor yang tidak dapat diubah dan faktor yang dapat diubah. Tujuan  penelitian untuk mengidentifikasi dan menjelaskan faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan kejadian stroke. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasonal analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Sampel sebanyak 103 responden yang diambil dengan tehnik consecutive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara hipertensi (p = 0,035) dan aktivitas fisik (p = 0,011) dengan jenis stroke. Aktivitas fisik merupakan faktor risiko paling dominan yang berhubungan dengan jenis stroke dengan OR = 5,8. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan riwayat hipertensi dan aktivitas fisik merupakan faktor risiko independen yang berhubungan dengan jenis stroke. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini ditujukan kepada rumah sakit untuk meningkatkan kegiatan penyuluhan untuk mencegah faktor risiko terjadinya stroke. Selain itu meningkatkan peran perawat dalam  pemberian pelayanan keperawatan, dimana perawat memfokuskan asuhan pada kebutuhan kesehatan pasien secara holistik.ABSTRACT Stroke is a neurological disease that occurs due to disruption of the blood supply to a part of the brain. The incidence of stroke increases with age, that the older the person the possibility of stroke. According to the cause of stroke divided into two hemorrhagic stroke due to rupture of blood vessels of the brain and ischemic stroke (stroke non hemoragik) due to thrombus or embolus in the blood vessels of the brain. Many factors cause a stroke, which consists of factors that can not be changed and the factors that can be changed. The aim of research to identify and explain the risk factors associated with the occurrence of stroke.This research is an analytic observational study with cross sectional study. The sample of this study as many as 103 respondents is taken with consecutive sampling technique. The results showed significant relationship between hypertension (p = 0,035) and physical activity (p = 0.011) with the type of stroke. Physical activity is the predominant risk factor associated with this type of stroke with OR = 5.8. The study concluded a history of hypertension and physical inactivity is an independent risk factor associated with this type of stroke. Recommendations from this study aimed to hospitals to improve education activities to prevent risk factors for stroke. Besides increasing the role of nurses in the delivery of nursing services, where nurses care focuses on the health needs of patients holistically.

Introduction: Hypertension remains an emerging public health problem globally, particularly in developing countries. Age, income level, obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, vegetables and fruit consumption, physical activity and chat chewing were some risk factors of hypertension. However, there are limited data on the epidemiology of hypertension in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess Epidemiology of Hypertension among the community of selected towns of Wollega zones. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 June 2019 in selected towns of Wollega zones. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 840 study participants. Data were collected using the WHO STEP wise approach. The data were coded and entered into EpiData 3, and exported to SPSS version 20.0 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Statistical significance was declared at p-value < 0.05. Results: The study included a total of 838 respondents with a response rate of 99.7%. The prevalence of hypertension was found to be 189 (22.6%) (95% confidence interval = 19.9%–25.2%). Of this, 108 (12.9%) and 81 (9.7%) of female and male were hypertensive, respectively. Age groups of 30–44 years (adjusted odds ratio = 2.65 (1.43, 4.89)), 45–59 years (adjusted odds ratio = 3.55 (1.79, 7.04)), above 60 years (adjusted odds ratio = 2.97 (1.43, 6.18)), having history of alcohol consumption (adjusted odds ratio = 4.29 (2.4, 7.66)), involving in vigorous physical activity (adjusted odds ratio = 0.096 (0.028, 0.33)), not walking to and from the work (adjusted odds ratio = 13.12 (8.34, 20.67)), being overweight (adjusted odds ratio = 1.98 (1.21, 3.25)), inadequate fruits serving per day (adjusted odds ratio = 2.93 (1.75, 4.88)) were significantly associated with hypertension. Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension was found to be high in the study area. Older age, alcohol consumption, not engaging in vigorous activity, physical inactivity, being overweight and inadequate intake of fruits were found to be risk factors for hypertension. Therefore, health care providers should provide extensive health education and promotion on recommended lifestyle modification to tackle the burden of hypertension.

Abstract Introduction: A better understanding of socio-demographic characteristics of subgroups, which have a high risk to develop chronic diseases, is essential to develop more efficient interventional programs especially for youth. This study aimed to determine the association between clusters of non communicable diseases (NCDs’) risk factors and the socio-demographic characteristics among a sample of Tunisian school children. Materials and methods: We conducted, in 2013/2014, a cross-sectional study among a proportional and stratified school children sample, selected in 17 elementary public schools in Sousse (Tunisia). A cluster analysis was used to identify different NCDs risk factors clusters, based on tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and excess weight. Subsequent χ2-tests were used to identify differences between the NCDs risk factors clusters in regards to socio-demographic characteristics. Results: Four clusters of NCDs risk factors were found: 1) Cluster 1: physical inactivity behavior with normal weight, 2) Cluster 2: physical inactivity behavior associated to excess weight, 3) Cluster 3: unhealthy diet associated to excess weight and low practice of physical activity, and 4) Cluster 4: smoking behavior with physical activity behavior. The pattern of cluster membership differed across sex (<10–3), school level, and socioeconomic level (<10–3) but there was no significant difference between clusters for mother’s education levels and household tenure. Conclusion: This study can have important implications for health policy and practice. Indeed, it found that many subjects have simultaneous multiple NCDs risk factors which leads to identify groups at risk and implement integrated intervention program.

Objective: This study aims to assess the relationship that frailty has with nutritional status and functional risk factors in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Cross-sectional study in community-dwelling older people, independent for walking and without impaired cognition. Frailty was assessed by Fried criteria. Nutritional status was analyzed by the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), biochemical markers (albumin, total proteins, cholesterol, lymphocytes, and hemoglobin); and anthropometric parameters (body mass index [BMI], body fat percentage, handgrip, and perimeters). A comprehensive geriatric assessment analyzed other risk factors: functionality, cognition, falls, comorbidity, polypharmacy, physical activity, and quality of life (QoL). Results: We included 564 elderly people with a mean age of 76.05 (standard deviation 3.97) years; 63.1% (n = 356) were women, and 83.9% (n = 473) were prefrail, and frail. The sample presented high functionality and a nutritional status with a predominance of overweight and obesity. Factors associated with frailty (R2 = 0.43) were age over 75 years (odds ratio [OR] 3.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.76, 6.21; p < 0.001), female gender (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.24, 4.52; p = 0.009), anemia (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.19, 5.02; p = 0.015), falls (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.12, 3.25; p = 0.016) and the fear of falling (OR 4.01: 95% CI 1.76, 9.16; p = 0.001). Performing more than 3 weekly hours of physical activity was found to be a protective factor (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.15, 0.35; p < 0.001). Conclusions: The relationship between frailty and malnutrition in functionally independent community-dwelling older people is unclear. More studies are needed to know what nutritional markers are related to frailty, cognition, and functionality in order to discriminate the risk factors for community-dwelling older people at risk of malnutrition and dependency.

ABSTRACT Background: Actually the lifestyle exposes the population to several risk factors related to alimentary habits and less physical activity that contributes to chronic diseases appearance worldwide. Aim: To analyze the association between salivary cortisol and the components of metabolic syndrome. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. As part of it, 28 individuals aged 30-59 years presenting three or more of the following findings: CA: ≥88 cm for women and ≥102 cm for men; SBP>130 mmHg and DBP>85 mmHg; GL>100 mg/dl; TG>150 mg/dl; HDL<40 mg/dl for men and <50 mg/dl for women. Was performed analysis of salivary cortisol (by radioimmunoassay) from 25 salivary samples collected throughout the day, for evaluating changes in the circadian rhythm of this hormone (8AM, noon and 8PM). Results: 28 evaluated individuals had a mean age of 51.9±7.5 years, mostly women (64.3%) and a mean of BMI 33.6±3.2 kg/m². The cortisol level from the 8AM averaged 18.7±4.8 ng/dlL. Individuals with FPG>110mg/dl, have significantly lower average levels of cortisol than ones with FPG <110 (12.8±5,2 vs. 17.3±4.2). Significant correlations were HOMA vs. WC (r=0,465; p˂0,005) and TG (r=0,473; p˂0,005), WC vs. FG (r=0,446; p˂0,005) and BMI (r=0,730; p˂0.0001); TG vs. HDL (r=0,441 p˂0,005) and FG (r=0,440; p˂0,005). Conclusion: Morning salivary cortisol in subjects with chronically elevated blood glucose can represent a downregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis. This is an important finding not yet well investigated.

The Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important measure of the health status of a population. It can be related to nutritional status and risk factors of cardiovascular disease.This study aimed to assess the quality of life and the association with nutritional status and other modifiable risk factors in patients with atherosclerotic disease.This is a cross-sectional study carried out in two public health centers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A total of 273 participants with a documented history of atherosclerotic disease in the last ten years from their entry to the study. Quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire); physical activity; food intake (food frequency questionnaire), blood pressure; anthropometric and biochemical measures were assessed. Poor quality of life scores were identified, women had lower scores (p0.05) for all SF-36 domains. Obesity was associated with a decreased score of SF-36 physical and mental health domains. Sedentary lifestyle was associated with poorer quality of life in almost all domains assessed. The adoption of healthy weight and appropriate physical activity was associated with better quality of life in patients with atherosclerotic disease.

Cardiovascular disease is a significant public health concern worldwide, including in Malaysia. Various attempts have been made to resolve this issue. One of the most important methods of controlling cardiovascular risk factors is physical exercise. However, today’s women, especially housewives, are often identified by a lack of physical activity. This is alarming to society, as cardiovascular disease can affect the quality of their life. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular risk factors among low-income housewives in Kuala Lumpur. A total of 63 housewives participated in this cross-sectional study. All participating housewives were asked to fill out a sociodemographic questionnaire and the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). To evaluate cardiovascular risk factors, anthropometric measurements and blood samples were taken. Findings showed that an average of 70.5 ± 232.4 min/week was spent on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), which indicated a low level of physical activity. Data showed that 90.5% of the subjects had low physical activity, 6.3% were moderate, and 3.2% were considered as having a high level of physical activity. For body mass index (BMI), 58.7% of the respondents were obese, 28.6% were overweight (29.10 ± 5.67 kg m–2), and 81.0% of subjects had a waist circumference (WC) value above the normal range (92.74 ± 16.40 cm). A two-way ANOVA test revealed significant mean differences between systolic blood pressure (mm/Hg) and age groups (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, there was a significant association between MVPA and cardiovascular risk factors using negative binomial regression (p < 0.01). The findings of this study highlight the need for health promotional programs to raise awareness, educate, and engage low-income housewives in lifestyle-enhancing behaviors.
