Abstract Background: Alcohol consumption is associated with different types of illness, particularly heavy episodic drinking considerably increases the risk of non- communicable diseases burden. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of heavy episodic drinking and associated factors in Arba Minch Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (HDSS).Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 among adult residents of Arba Minch HDSS. Using Arba Minch HDSS database, 3368 individuals were selected by simple random sampling techniques. From WHO STEPS instruments, step one was applied for this study. Variables with a p-value of less than 0.25 for bivariate analysis entered into a multivariable logistic regression model to outline the independent predictors of the heavy episodic drinking. To assess the presence of an association between dependent and independent variables, a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered.Results: The prevalence of heavy episodic drinking was 13.7% (95% CI: 12.6–14.9). The study has shown that heavy episodic drinking was significantly associated with occupation (daily laborer [AOR=0.53; 95% C.I: 0.31–0.91] and housewives [AOR=0.64; 95% C.I: 0.45–0.90] compared with farmers), wealth index (2nd quintiles [AOR =0.56; 95% C.I: 0.41–0.75) and 3rd quintiles [AOR = 0.68; 95% C.I: 0.48–0.96] compared with 1st quintiles), climatic zone (midland [AOR=1.74;95% CI: 1.08–2.82), highland [AOR=1.72;95% CI: 1.05–2.81] compared with lowland) and physical activity level (high physical activity [AOR= 1.59, 95% CI: 1.19 – 2.12] compared with low physical activity). In addition, tobacco use [AOR=4.29;95% CI: 3.39–5.44], and khat use [AOR=4.48; 95% CI: 2.56–8.17) were also associated with heavy episodic drinking among the study participants. Conclusions: More than one in ten adults reported heavy episodic drinking in the study area. Intervention programs that aim to prevent heavy episodic drinking should be designed appropriately for individuals from lower wealth status, and for highlander.

Introduction: Anxiety, depression and other mental problems are one of the important health problems on university campuses. The anxiety created by the exams in the students negatively affects the students' attitude and success towards the lessons. The studies carried out, the understanding the relationship between exercise, depression and anxiety, and positive results obtained were satisfying and also increased the value given to this issue. In our study, we examined the relationship between university students' physical activity level and exam anxiety. Material-Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 175 volunteer university students who did and did not do sports. The International Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (IPAQ) Long Form was used to measure the level of physical activity and the Exam Anxiety Inventory to determine the level of anxiety. Results: The rate of female patients was significantly higher in the inactive group than the minimally active and active group (p ˂ 0.05). In the inactive group, the test anxiety score was significantly higher (p ˂ 0.05) than the minimally active and active group. Conclusion: As a result, our research revealed that the physical activity levels of university students are quite low, especially in female students, and there is a relationship between the level of physical activity and anxiety.

Pengaruh globalisasi menjadikan remaja marak menggunakan aplikasi kesehatan untuk mencapai kebugaran tubuh. Aplikasi pengukur kalori merupakan metode yang lebih praktis dan cepat untuk digunakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengukuran pengeluaran energi pada mahasiswa IPB dengan aplikasi smartphone dibandingkan dengan estimasi pengeluaran energi menggunakan Physical Activity Level (PAL). Desain studi yang digunakan yaitu cross sectional study dengan melibatkan 61 mahasiswa sebagai sampel. Data aktivitas fisik sehari dikumpulkan melalui dua cara yaitu kuesioner dan aplikasi Samsung Health. Pengukuran pengeluaran energi dilakukan selama satu hari kerja dan satu hari libur. Pengeluaran energi diukur dengan aplikasi Samsung Health pada hari kerja sebesar 1130±719 kkal pada laki-laki dan 634±195 kkal pada perempuan sedangkan pada hari libur sebesar 1124±659 kkal pada laki-laki dan 679±232 kkal pada perempuan. Pengeluaran energi yang diukur dengan Samsung Health lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan pengeluaran energi yang diukur dengan record aktivitas fisik 1x24 jam baik pada perempuan maupun laki-laki. Hasil yang didapat lebih kecil tersebut dapat terjadi karena tidak semua aktivitas dapat terukur pada aplikasi Samsung Health. Hasil pengukuran energi dengan Samsung Health masih perlu diestimasi melalui persamaan terutama pada subjek dengan tingkatan aktivitas ringan.
