Myocardial structure and function by echocardiography in relation to glucometabolic status in elderly subjects from 2 population-based cohorts: A cross-sectional study

AbstrakSaat ini, di seluruh dunia jumlah penduduk lanjut usia diperkirakan mencapai 500 juta, dan diperkirakan pada tahun 2025 akan mencapai 1,2 milyar. Berdasarkan data penduduk mutakhir, jumlah penduduk lanjut usia di Indonesia sekarang sekitar 16 juta jiwa. Pada tahun 2025, jumlah penduduk Indonesia diproyeksikan mencapai 273 juta jiwa, dan hampir seperempat dari jumlah penduduk tersebut atau sekitar 62,4 juta jiwa tergolong sekelompok penduduk lanjut usia.Menjadi lanjut usia adalah suatu proses menghilangnya secara perlahan kemampuan jaringan untuk memperbaiki diri atau mengganti diri dan mempertahankan struktur dan fungsi normalnya.Kemunduran struktur dan fungsi organ juga terjadi pada sistem kardiovaskular, salah satunya adalah dinding arteri telah menebal dan kaku karena arteriosklerosis sehingga darah dipaksa untuk melalui pembuluh yang sempit daripada biasanya dan menyebabkan naiknya tekanan darah dan menimbulkan berbagai komplikasi yang mengancam jiwa.Penelitian dilakukan pada lansia di posyandu lansia Kelurahan Padang Pasir pada Januari 2014. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain observasional dengan jenis cross sectional study dengan jumlah sampel 17 lansia. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan pengukuran tekanan darah langsung kepada lansia. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa 11 dari 17 lansia (64,7%) menderita hipertensi. Kelompok umur terbanyak yang menderita hipertensi dalam rentang 60-65 tahun, dan angka kejadian wanita lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan laki-laki serta stadium hipertensi yang dominan adalah stadium satu (140-159/90-99). Dari 11 lansia hipertensi, 10 diantaranya (90,9%) menderita hipertensi sistolik terisolasi.Kata Kunci: lansia, tekanan darah, hipertensi sistolik terisolasiAbstractCurrently, the worldwide number of elderly people is expected to reach 500 million, and is expected in 2025 will reach 1.2 billion. Based on the latest population data, the number of elderly people in Indonesia now around 16 million people. In 2025, Indonesia's population is projected to reach 273 million people, and nearly a quarter of the total population, or about 62.4 million people belong to a group of elderly people. Being elderly is a process of gradual disappearance of the network’s ability to self-repair or replace themselves and maintain the structure and function normally. Setbacks structure and function of organs also occur in the cardiovascular system, one of which is the arterial wall has been thickened and stiff due to arteriosclerosis so that blood is forced through narrow vessels than usual and cause a rise in blood pressure and cause life-threatening complications. The study was conducted elderly at Padang Pasir elderly intergrated health post in January 2014. This study used observational design with the type of cross -sectional study by using 17 elderly as samples. Files collection was performed by measurement of blood pressure directly to the elderly. The results found that 11 of the 17 elderly (64.7 %) had hypertension. Largest age group with hypertension in a span of 60-65 years, and the incidence of women is higher than men with the dominant stage is the first stage of hypertension (140-159/90-99). Between 11 elderly hypertensive, 10 of them (90.9 %) had isolated systolic hypertension.Keywords: elderly, blood pressure, isolated systolic hypertension

ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence of disabilities (vision, hearing, mobility, cognitive, self-care and communication) and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among the elderly population in two districts in Telangana, India.DesignPopulation-based cross-sectional study using a cluster random sampling method to select the study clusters.SettingElderly population in Khammam and Warangal districts were recruited. Detailed interviews were conducted by trained community health workers. Personal and demographic information such as age, gender, level of education and a self-report of NCDs was collected. The Washington Disability Questionnaire was administered to assess the presence of disabilities.Participants1821 participants aged ≥60 years, 54.5% were women, and 73.3% had no education.Primary outcome measurePrevalence of disabilities and NCDs.ResultsOverall, the prevalence of at least disability was 20.3% (95% CI 16.3 to 24.9). The prevalence of self- reported disabilities were: seeing (5.9%; 95% CI 4.4 to 7.8), mobility (12.8%; 95% CI 9.7 to 16.8), hearing (3.6%; 95% CI 2.7 to 4.8), cognition (4.8%; 95% CI 3.5 to 6.7), self-care (3.3%; 95% CI 2.3 to 4.7) and communication (1.8%; 95% CI 1.2 to 2.6). Overall, the prevalence of at least one NCD was 34.2% (95% CI 30.9 to 37.7). Hypertension was the most common systemic condition (25.4%; 95% CI 22.4 to 28.7), followed by diabetes (9.0%; 95% CI 7.3 to 11.0), and body pains (muscle-skeletal) (9.9%; 95% CI 8.1 to 12.2).ConclusionEvery fifth elderly person in the districts of Khammam and Warangal in Telangana had at least one self-reported disability. Besides, a third of the elderly had at least one NCD. There is a definite need to develop comprehensive public health strategies to address disabilities and NCDs in Telangana.
