Demographic and psychosocial factors associated with increased fruit and vegetable consumption among smokers in public housing enrolled in a randomized trial.

Abstract Background Falls in older adults is a widely researched topic. However, older adults residing in public housing are a vulnerable population that may have unique risk factors for falls. This study aims to describe the prevalence and risk factors for falls, fear of falling, and seeking medical attending for falls in this population. Methods Sociodemographic and health-related data was collected as part of a community-based health assessment program with older adults in public housing. Three pre-screening questions identified individuals at potential risk for falls; individuals who screened positive performed the objective Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Logistic regression was used to evaluate risk factors for four outcome variables: falls in the past year, seeking medical attention for falls, fear of falling, and objectively measured fall risk via TUG test. Results A total of 595 participants were evaluated, of which the majority were female (81.3%), white (86.7%), did not have a high school diploma (50.0%), and reported problems in mobility (56.2%). The prevalence of falls in the past year was 34.5%, seeking medical attention for falls was 20.2% and fear of falling was 38.8%. The TUG test was completed by 257 participants. Notably, males had significantly reduced odds of seeking medical attention for a fall (OR = 0.50, 95%CI 0.25–0.98) and having a fear of falling (OR = 0.42, 95%CI 0.24–0.76); daily fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with decreased odds of having a fall in the past year (OR = 0.55, 95%CI 0.37–0.83), and alcohol consumption was associated with increased odds of fear of falling (OR = 1.72, 95%CI 1.03–2.88). Conclusion Older adults residing in public housing have unique risk factors associated with social determinants of health, such as low fruit and vegetable consumption, which may increase their risk for falls. The findings of this study can be used to inform falls interventions for this population and identify areas for further research.

ABSTRACT The incidence of diabetes has been increasing gradually each year. According to WHO, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, and stroke. Prevention strategies are needed, especially for people with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT), as IGT is an intermediate stage in the natural course of type 2 diabetes and a predictor of type 2 diabetes. This paper is a secondary-data analysis of 2013 Basic Health Research aiming to identify IGT predictors. Samples were the respondents aged 15 years and over, with a total of 38,149. Analysis was carried out using logistic regression with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results showed that factors associated with IGT were age (OR (95% CI): 1.51 (1.43-1.59)), gender (OR (95% CI): 1.54 (1.46- 1.62)), education ((OR (95% CI): 1.18 (1.10-1.26), overweight (OR (95% CI): 1.24 (1.17-1.31) ) and fruit and vegetable consumption (OR (95% CI): 0.89 (0.80-0.99)). To conclude, obesity is a risk factor of IGT prevalence, while consumption of fruits and vegetables less than 4 portions per day was protective against IGT. There is a need of IGT prevention strategy, such as regular blood sugar checks, weight control and increased physical activity (exercise) and consume fruits and vegetables that are low in glucose and fluctose. Keywords: IGT, obesity, fruit and vegetable consumption, Riskesdas ABSTRAK Kejadian diabetes dari tahun ketahun semakin meningkat. Menurut WHO, diabetes merupakan penyebab utama kebutaan, gagal ginjal, serangan jantung, dan stroke. Perlu upaya pencegahan terutama pada orang dengan Toleransi Glukosa Terganggu (TGT), karena TGT merupakan tahap pertengahan di dalam perjalanan alamiah DM tipe 2 dan faktor prediktor terhadap terjadinya DM tipe 2. Artikel ini adalah analisis lanjut Riskesdas 2013, yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor prediktor TGT. Sampel adalah responden dengan umur 15 tahun ke atas berjumlah 38.149. Analisis dilakukan dengan regresi logistik dengan odds ratio dan 95 % confidence Interval. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang berhubungan dengan TGT ialah umur (OR (95% CI): 1,51 (1,43-1,59)), jenis kelamin (OR (95% CI): 1,54 (1,46-1,62)), pendidikan ((OR (95% CI): 1,18 (1,10-1,26), kegemukan (OR (95% CI): 1,24 (1,17-1,31)) dan konsumsi buah dan sayur (OR (95% CI): 0,89 (0,80-0,99)). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegemukan berisiko terhadap kejadian TGT dan konsumsi buah dan sayur < 4 porsi perhari protektif terhadap kejadian TGT. Perlu adanya upaya pencegahan TGT, seperti pemeriksaan gula darah secara berkala, mengontrol berat badan meningkatkan aktifitas fisik (olahraga), serta mengkonsumsi jenis buah dan sayur yang rendah glukosa dan fluktosa.

Indonesian people's fruit consumption is still relatively low compared to other countries that do not have the resources to produce fruits. Purpose: this study was to determine the factors associated with fruit and vegetable consumption in elementary school students. Methods: This research method uses a cross sectional design. The research population was all students in class V totaling 123 students and the study sample was 100 students who were determined using simple random sampling. This research was conducted in Negeri 1 Rajabasa Raya Bandar Lampung City. Data processing in this study was univariate and bivariate using the chi square test. Results: The results showed that the factors associated with fruit and vegetable consumption were preference (p = 0.001), knowledge (p = 0,000) and attitude (p = 000). The unrelated variable is the availability at home (p = 0.813). Conclusion: Factors that increase consumption of fruit and vegetables in elementary school students are preference, good knowledge, and supportive attitude. Socialization needs to be done to increase knowledge about the benefits and effects of less consumption of fruit and vegetables, put up a poster media about the benefits and effects of less consumption of fruits and vegetables.
