Type of descriptive analytic research with a cross-sectional design. Research place in RSUD dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Lampung Province, in November-December 2017. The population in this study were patients with STIs recorded in the medical record book of 2012-2016 as many as 191 people and a sample of 186 people. The results of the study obtained 4 types of STIs caused by bacteria, namely gonorrhea, syphilis, condyloma, and bartolinitis. The age range of STI patients is 12-62 years, and the most in the 12-25 year age group is 93 people (50%). The most STI sufferers are men, 100 people (53.8%), with the highest education is high school, which is 121 people (65.1%), more STI patients who work are 102 people (54.8%), and STI sufferers who more from Bandar Lampung, 103 people (55.4%). Risk factors associated with the type of STI are gender (p-value=0.012) and work (p-value=0.012), while age (p-value=0.718), education (p-value=0.368), and residence address (p-value=0.088) there is no relationship with the type of STI.</p>

PurposeThis study examined the risk factors associated with hypertension in Bhutan.Design/methodology/approachThe cross-sectional data of 30,889 adults from the National Health Survey of Bhutan was used in this study. Multivariable regression accounting for the complex survey design was performed to identify the risk factors. The backward elimination approach was applied in the multivariable analysis.FindingsThe prevalence of hypertension was 17%. Increasing age, being female, being previously married, higher wealth status, past alcohol use, having diabetes, loneliness, health service use and low vegetable intake was associated with increased hypertension risk, whereas, higher education level, being employed and residing in the eastern region was associated with reduced risk. Age, gender, education, wealth status, diabetes status, loneliness and health service use were common factors in all the regions. Marital status and vegetable intake were associated with hypertension in the western and central regions, and alcohol use in the eastern and central regions.Originality/valueAffecting around one-sixth of the population, hypertension is a significant public health problem in Bhutan. Interventions to improve health education and access, motivate healthy lifestyles, and reduce harmful alcohol use, and strategies to create health-promoting social and built environments are needed to curb the hypertension epidemic and its consequences.

This epidemiologic survey of the literature on the factors contributing to the high number of high school football injuries consolidates the current information on the characteristics and risk factors associated with these injuries. To reduce the incidence of knee sprains and strains, the most common injuries to this population, the following preventive recommendations are presented: 1) optimum maintenance of playing fields; 2) use of the soccer-style shoe; 3) noncontact and controlled activities in practice sessions; and 4) increased vigilance over technique during injury-prone preseason practices. The authors conclude that more research into factors such as exposure time and activity at injury will further reduce the risk to the high school football player.
