Hand Grip

Objective. There is lack of knowledge about the patterns and correlates of hand grip strength (HGS) of older adults in Indonesia. This study aims to assess sociodemographic and health determinants of HGS among older adult men and women in Indonesia. Methods. Participants were 7097 individuals of 50 years and older (mean age 61.2 years, SD=9.4) that participated in the cross-sectional Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS-5) in 2014-15. The assessment measures included a questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics and health variables and anthropometric and HGS measurements. Linear multivariable regression analysis was conducted to estimate the association of social and health variables and HGS. Results. The mean HGS was 28.2 kgs for men and 17.2 kgs for women. In adjusted linear regression analysis among both men and women, height, being overweight or obese, and having a good self-rated health status were positively associated with HGS, while age, having underweight, low cognitive functioning, and functional disability were negatively associated with HGS. In addition, among men, higher education and medium economic background were positive and having two or more chronic conditions, having severe depressive symptoms, and having moderate sleep impairment were negatively associated with HGS. Conclusion. The study contributed to a better understanding of patterns and correlates of HGS among older adults in Indonesia. Gender-specific and health related interventions may be needed so as to improve the physical functioning of the growing older populace in Indonesia.

Socio Economic Factors

The effect of alcohol abuse on the level of completed suicides (CS) of men and women was investigated. The study period was 1959—2013. The trend of CS had convex form during this time. The sharp decline in CS was observed twice: after 1984 in connection with anti-alcohol campaign and after 2001 due to the new reduction in alcohol consumption. Last decline began to slow down after 2009 in accordance with slowing of alcohol consumption decline. Trends of two destructive phenomena are well correlated (0,855 for men and 0,647 for women). The main result is: 45% of CSs in Russia occur in connection with alcohol consumption (46% in men and 38% women). The contribution of socio-economic factors to the CS was also shown in this work.
