Abstract Postural changes and pain in the spine of children and adolescents of school age are influenced by the permanent incorrect sitting position, misuse of furniture and weight of the backpack. The aim of this study was to verify postural changes and pain in the academic performance of elementary school students. It was a cross-sectional study, with a descriptive and analytical approach. The subjects were 83 elementary students, aged 8 to 12 years, of Kindergarten and Elementary Education at Paulo Sarasate Municipal School, Ceará. It was performed from March to June 2008. In the physical examination it was used an evaluation form, based on Global Postural reeducation, by Souchard method, which included the variables: compromised anterior, posterior, superior shoulder muscle chains and pain and, in academic performance, a semi-structured questionnaire with the variables: behavior, attendance and performance. The data was stored in the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 18.0. In the descriptive analysis, absolute and relative frequencies were used, and in the inferential analysis, the following tests were applied: Mann-Whitney, to verify the existence of significant differences in changes in groups A and B, at a significance level of 5%, and the F statistical test, for comparing postural changes and pain, in the three grades. Results: it was noted that the majority of the students presented postural changes, such as forward head, lifted shoulders, dorsal hyperkyphosis and pain, which predominantly occurred in the anterior chain, when compared with the posterior and superior chains. These changes in both groups were statistically significant only in subjects of the fifth grade with satisfactory academic performance and behavior. It was concluded that there was no association between postural changes and school performance, although it was influenced by pain.

The purpose of this study is to determine elementary school students’ level of self-regulation skills—goal setting and to develop strategies to achieve these goals. Survey method is used in the study with the participants of 368 students. The study was conducted at two elementary schools in Incesu and Kocasinan provinces of Kayseri and students filled a five-item Likert type scale. Data were analysed using statistical analysis program and 0.05 significance level was accepted. The result shows that the average grade of girls was higher than the boys, the average of 5th grades was higher than 6th grades and the average of the school in the city centre was higher than the school in the rural area. Also, there was a significant difference between the self-regulation scores of the grade levels in the favour of 5th grades. Lastly, the self-regulation score of the students living in city centre was higher than that of students living in village.   Keywords: Self-regulation, elementary education, survey research, elementary students

BACKGROUND In Indonesia, primary school begins at 6 years old and continues until 12, where most of their growth is experienced at that age. Non-ergonomic school furniture can harm the musculoskeletal system. This study evaluates the suitability of chair dimensions to elementary school student’s anthropometry in North Jakarta. METHODSA cross-sectional study of 98 students in North Jakarta. Chair dimension data and student anthropometry were measured using a tape measure, which was then analyzed using the Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test to evaluate their suitability. RESULTSThe ages of the students ranged from 5 to 11 years. Anthropometric measurements of students show that the mean Sitting Shoulder Height is 41.81±4.36 cm, Popliteal Height 36.83±3.77 cm, Hip Breadth 25.88±3.47 cm, and Buttock-Popliteal Length 36.56±4.33 cm. While the average size assessed from the seat dimensions is Seat Height 41.71±0.22 cm, Seat Width 37.2±1.26 cm, Seat Depth 37.2±1.42 cm, and Backrest Height Above Seat 35.54±3.19 cm. The results of Goodness of Fit with Kendall's Tau-b critical value for the suitability of chair dimensions to student anthropometry were 0.37, and vice versa 0.672, which stated a discrepancy. CONCLUSIONThere is a mismatch between chair dimension and anthropometry of elementary school students in North Jakarta. Adjustment of chair dimensions needs to be done using a student's average size approach to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.

Background. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of myopia in elementary school students and to assess the risk factors for myopia. Methods. This school-based cross-sectional study was performed on students from two elementary schools in Jiaojiang, Taizhou City, China. A total of 556 students, whose age ranged from 9 to 12 years, were included. The uncorrected visual acuity and noncycloplegic refractive error tests were performed to determine the myopia. Each student was asked to fulfill the questionnaire about the possible factors associated with myopia. Multivariate logistic analyses of risk factors were conducted. Results. The overall prevalence of myopia among those students was 63.7%, ranged from 53.4% in grade 4 to 72.5% in grade 6. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that adjusting the height of desks and chairs according to the changing height and the presence of myopia in parents were significantly associated with myopia in these students, respectively. Conclusions. Our results showed that myopia among elementary school students was associated with environmental and hereditary factors.

AbstrakPola pemberian ASI dinyatakan para ahli berhubungan dengan tingkat kecerdasan anak. Akan tetapi, persentase pemberian ASI di Indonesia sampai saat ini masih tergolong rendah. Data Depkes RI tahun 2006 dan 2007 menunjukkan bahwa anak di Indonesia yang mendapat asupan ASI eksklusif dan ASI hingga usia 2 tahun tidak mencapai 50%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan apakah terdapat hubungan antara riwayat pola pemberian ASI dengan tingkat kecerdasan anak SD. Desain penelitian ini adalah penelitian dengan jenis cross sectional study. Populasi penelitian adalah semua siswa kelas III – V di SD Negeri 01 Sawahan. Sampel diambil sebanyak 104 orang dengan metode proportional stratified random sampling. Data dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner untuk mengetahui riwayat pola pemberian ASI yang diterima responden saat bayi. Data diolah dengan uji statistik chi square menggunakan program SPSS 16.0. Hasil analisis univariat menunjukkan anak dengan tingkat kecerdasan tinggi (68,3%) dan anak dengan tingkat kecerdasan sedang (31,7%). Terdapat 16,3% anak yang memiliki riwayat pola pemberian ASI baik dan 83,7% anak memiliki riwayat pola pemberian ASI kurang. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara riwayat pola pemberian ASI dengan tingkat kecerdasan anak (p = 0,173). Penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara riwayat pola pemberian ASI dengan tingkat kecerdasan anak SD di SDN 01 Sawahan Kecamatan Padang Timur Kota Padang.Kata kunci: Pola pemberian ASI, Tingkat kecerdasanAbstractBreastfeeding patterns declared by the experts are associated with the level of children intelligence.

Background Asthma inflammation process and geohelminthinfection have the same immune response. Epidemiological studiesin developed countries show the increased asthma prevalenceand decreased geohelminth infection, while developing countriesusually have low asthma prevalence but high geohelminthinfection.Objectives To determine asthma proportion in children withgeohelminth infection and relationship between asthma andgeohelminth prevalence of elementary school students in NorthJakarta.Method A cross sectional study was done in February 2009 at anElementary School in North Jakarta. Asthma was diagnosed usingISAAC questionnaire which was answered by parents. We didfecal analysis using ether formaline test to establish geohelminthinfection.Results The proportion of students with asthma was 11.5%(33 of 286 children). Most of them were male, aged 6-10 yearsold, and well nourished. Geohelminth infection was foundin 71.9%of the students. Most of children with geohelminthinfection were male (55%), aged 6-10 years old (63%), and wellnourished (64%). Proportion of asthma in children with andwithout geohelminth infection is 12.6% and 8.8%, respectively.Geohelminth infection consisted of ascariasis (80%), trichuriasis(39%), and ankylostomiasis (9%). There was no significantrelationship between asthma and geohelminth infection(P=0.357), nor between asthma and ascariasis (P=0.202), asthmaand trichiuriasis (P=0.133).Conclusions The occurrence of asthma in children withgeohelminth infection is 12.6% and there is no difference ofasthma incidence among children with or without geohelminthinfection.
