Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the commonest medical complication of pregnancy. The association of GDM with immediate pregnancy complications including excess fetal growth and adiposity with subsequent risk of birth trauma and with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is well recognized. However, the associations with wide ranges of longer-term health outcomes for mother and baby, including the lifetime risks of obesity, pre-diabetes, and diabetes and cardiovascular disease have received less attention and few health systems address these important issues in a systematic way. This article reviews historical and recent data regarding prediction of GDM using demographic, clinical, and biochemical parameters. We evaluate current and potential future diagnostic approaches designed to most effectively identify GDM and extend this analysis into a critical evaluation of lifestyle and nutritional/pharmacologic interventions designed to prevent the development of GDM. The general approach to management of GDM during pregnancy is then discussed and the major final focus of the article revolves around the importance of a GDM diagnosis as a future marker of the risk of non-communicable disease (NCD), in particular pre-diabetes, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, both in mother and offspring.

Latar belakang :  World Health Organization (WHO) 2013 mengemukakan bahwa non-communicable disease (NCDs) merupakan tantangan kesehatan terbesar pada abad 21. Dari seluruh angka morbiditas NCDs, jumlah cardiovascular disease (CVD) merupakan yang terbesar yaitu 17,3 juta jiwa/ tahun.  Berkaitan dengan diabetes, pada sebagian penderita diabetes tipe dua atau intoleransi glukosa, didapatkan serangkaian faktor risiko yang muncul bersamaan dengan faktor risiko CVD. Fenomena tersebut disebut dengan kejadian sindrom metabolik. Tujuan : memberikan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kepada kader untuk melakukan screening sindrom metabolik sehingga pengurus maupun peserta majlis taklim bisa mengubah pola hidup menjadi lebih sehat lagi. Metode : metode yang digunakan adalah koordinasi, pemberdayaan sumber daya manusia, promosi dan sosialisasi kader, pelatihan kader, penyusunan buku pedoman kader, pelaksanaan jasa layanan kesehatan, evaluasi kegiatan, dan pelaporan pencatatan kegiatan. Hasil : menghasilkan empat kader terlatih dan hasil pada peserta bahwa kategori usia dewasa akhir, lansia akhir dan manula lebih rentan terkena Sindrom Metabolik. Hasil akhir yang diharapkan dari kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk mengetahui pentingnya pengetahuan tentang sindrome metabolik. Kesimpulan :  Pemberian penyuluhan dan pelatihan kader dalam screening sindrome mmetabolik dapat menambah  pengetahuan dan wawasan  pengurus majlis taklim masjid Al Mustaqim Di Sanggrahan Ngestiharjo Kasihan Bantul.

Abstract Hypertension is a non-communicable disease characterized by the increase of systolic blood pressure is >140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is >90 mmHg. Hypertension is also the major risk factor of other cardiovascular disease. The incidence rate of hypertension with or without complications increases every year, so the potential for inaccurate use of drugs is increasing. The purpose of this research is to determine the characteristics of hypertension outpatients and the proper hypertension drug use in hypertension outpatients at Wisma Rini General Hospital Pringsewu in 2019 based on the proper patient, the proper indication, the proper drug, and the proper dose using the standard reference of Guidelines JNC VIII. This research is descriptive research, the data was collected retrospectively based on medical records. The sample collection technique in this research is using a purposive sampling technique. The results in this study obtained from 110 patient samples diagnosed with the hypertension showed that most of hypertension patients are women (55,46%), mostly aged 56-65 years old (40%), and the most taken hypertension drug is CCB group amlodipine with 78 patients (71%). The evaluation of antihypertensive drug use obtained is proper patient with 110 patients (100%), proper indication with 110 patients (100%), proper drug with 92 patients (75,6%), and proper dose with 110 patients (100%). Keywords: Antihypertensive, Hypertension, Accuracy drug use.

The burden of chronic, non-communicable disease such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer is growing in many developing countries including Kenya. The use of community health workers is an important tool to improve the access to care and education in rural areas. This study aims to understand the knowledge and perceptions among the general population regarding three chronic diseases – diabetes, hypertension, and cancer – in Nyeri, Kenya. Standardized, open-ended interviews were conducted with 200 participants. This study shows that most individuals interviewed are familiar with these three diseases; however, knowledge varied among individuals with many having significant gaps in knowledge. These results are consistent with previous studies from this region and will inform future education directed at community health workers and the general population.
