AbstractWe determined if the increasing trend in hypertension can be partly attributed to increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity in China over the past two decades. Data were collected from 1991 to 2011 and the population attributable risk (PAR), which is used to estimate the intervention effect on hypertension if overweight/obese, were eliminated. Linear regression was used to evaluate the secular trends. The age-standardized prevalence of overweight and obesity increased by 26.32% with an overall slope of 1.27% (95% CI: 1.12–1.43%) per year. Hypertension also increased by 12.37% with an overall slope of 0.65% (95% CI: 0.51–0.79%) per year. The adjusted ORs of overweight/obesity for hypertension across the survey years remained unchanged; however, the trend in PAR increased steadily from 27.1 to 44.6% with an overall slope of 0.81% (95% CI: 0.34–1.28%) per year (P = 0.006). There was no significant gender difference in the slopes of increasing PAR, as measured by regression coefficients (β = 0.95% vs. β = 0.63% per year, P = 0.36). Over the past two decades, the increase in the prevalence of hypertension in China was partly attributed to the overweight/obesity epidemic, which highlights the importance of controlling weight and further reducing the burden of hypertension.

Program Jaminan Kesehatan  merupakan salah satu upaya dalam penurunan Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI)  di Indonesia. Cakupan persalinan oleh tenaga kesehatan di Indonesia masih di bawah target yang diharapkan, termasuk di Kecamatan Babakan Madang Kabupaten Bogor yang hanya mencapai 66,4 % tahun 2011.  Cakupan persalinan oleh dukun beranak peserta jaminan kesehatan di Puskesmas Babakan Madang  adalah 40% pada tahun 2011. Tujuan  penelitian ini untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pemilihan dukun beranak sebagai penolong persalinan pada peserta jaminan kesehatan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Babakan Madang Kabupaten Bogor. Metode  Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan pendekatan Case Control. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 122 orang ibu bersalin pada periode Juli sampai dengan Desember  2012 dibagi dalam 2 kelompok 61 orang kelompok kasus (dukun beranak) dan 61 orang kelompok kontrol (bidan). Analisis data menggunakan uji  chi square  dan uji regresi logistik ganda dengan tingkat kemaknaan (p0,05), dan analisis PAR (population attributable risk).  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan faktor yang berhubungan  dengan pemilihan dukun beranak sebagai penolong persalinan  secara signifikan adalah pengetahuan ibu p=0,003, sikap p= 0,007, pendidikan ibu p= 0,001, Sosial Budaya p= 0,001, penghasilan keluarga p=0,001, dukungan suami p=0,018 sedangkan keterjangkauan layanan, umur, paritas, pekerjaan tidak berhubungan (p0,05). Faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan keputusan memilih penolong persalinan berdasarkan analisis multivariabel adalah  sosial budaya (OR= 5,644  ;95%CI=  2,016-15,797).  Penelitian ini memberikan kesimpulan bahwa pengetahuan,  Sikap,  pendidikan ibu, sosial budaya penghasilan keluarga dan dukungan suami yang tidak mendukung memilih dukun beranak sebagai  penolong persalinan pada peserta jaminan kesehatan. Perlu dilakukan upaya peningkatan pengetahuan, pendidikan, dukungan suami dan sosial budaya yang mendukung serta pendidikan bidan gratis bagi anak dukun beranak.  Kata Kunci : Pemilihan penolong persalinan, Dukun beranak, Jaminan kesehatan

Development Of Gastric Cancer

Abstract Eradication of Helicobacter pylori colonization has been reported to affect the progression of gastric cancer. A comprehensive literature search was performed from 1997 to 2017 using electronic databases. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized controlled trials (non-RCT) evaluated the effect of H. pylori eradication on development of gastric cancer. Four RCTs and 9 non-RCTs were included (n = 40,740 participants; 321,269 person-years). Overall, H. pylori eradication therapy was associated with a significantly reduced risk of gastric cancer (incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.41, 0.65). Results of mixed-effect Poisson regression meta-analysis were similar to those of traditional meta-analyses. In stratified analyses, the IRRs were 0.59 (95% CI: 0.41, 0.86) in RCTs and 0.48 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.64) in non-RCTs. The IRRs were 0.45 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.61) in patients and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.44, 0.90) in the general population. Moreover, the relative risk reduction was approximately 77% on the development of noncardiac gastric cancer with H. pylori eradication therapy in China. Attributable risk percentage and population attributable risk percentage for Chinese patients were 77.08% and 75.33%, respectively, and for Japanese patients were 57.80% and 45.99%, respectively. H. pylori eradication therapy reduces the risk of noncardiac gastric cancer development. The findings indicate the importance of early intervention with H. pylori eradication therapy from the perspective of epidemiology.

Asthma Triggers

Abstract Work exposures to asthma triggers can cause or aggravate asthma, which affects twenty-five million Americans including many older workers, and retirees who want to work or need to do so for income. Asthma trigger exposures have particular risk for older workers. Older adults who develop asthma have poorer health outcomes than people who had childhood asthma, yet older workers with low incomes may have limited ability to leave a job despite health risks. We studied occupation-related asthma using the nationally representative Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) (1968-2015, n=13,957, 205,498 person-years). We compared asthma outcomes in occupations with likely asthma trigger exposures to those in occupations with limited exposures. Methods included: prevalence ratios; incidence risk ratios (log-binomial regression adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, atopy, current and past smoking, and survey design); attributable risk fractions; population attributable risks; and microsimulation. The adjusted prevalence ratio comparing high risk occupations to low was 4.1 (95% confidence interval, CI 3.5-4.8); adjusted risk ratio 2.6 (CI 1.8-3.9); attributable risk 16.7% (CI 8.5-23.6); population attributable risk 11.3% (CI 5.0-17.2). In microsimulations, 14.9% (CI 13.4-16.3) with low trigger exposures reported asthma during working life, compared with 23.9% (CI 22.3-26.0) with high exposures. Asthma triggers at work may cause or aggravate more than 10% of adult asthma, and increase asthma risk by 60%. Lung health contributes importantly to well-being, and the ability to work at older ages. Results highlight needs for policies and employer actions to reduce asthma trigger exposures, and for public education about lung health.
