The study purpose was to determine the effectiveness of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes with women of the first period of adulthood. Materials and methods. 30 adult women, whose average age was 30.57 years, took part in the study. The study was conducted during 2019-2020. Anthropometric measurements included body length, body weight, chest, shoulder, calf, thigh, waist, buttocks and wrist circumferences. To determine the overweight we calculated the body mass index. Measurements were taken at the end of each mesocycle of wellness training. Statistical analysis covered determination of mean, standard deviation, reliability of the differences (Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Results. The effectiveness of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes was proven by improvement of women’s body type. By the end of the study, there were no women with obesity class II and underweight. The number of women with obesity class I decreased by 3.33%. The number of women with normal body weight increased by 13.37%. Conclusions. The implementation of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes with adult women has significantly corrected their body proportions. This allows recommending a differentiated approach according to a body type to implement into aqua fitness classes.

Hemoglobin is the red pigment-protein contained in red blood cells. The function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen from the lungs and in the bloodstream to be carried to the tissues. Hemoglobin can increase by increasing the intake of iron in the body. One way to increase hemoglobin can be done by giving method Infused Water Dates. Infused water is a drink consisting of plain water with fresh fruit added and soaking or settling together for a certain time. The making of infused water is carried out by soaking for a period of 0 to 12 hours, so that the infused water becomes a liquid medium that carries more nutrients than ordinary water and will be more easily absorbed by cells and distributed throughout the body (Sidauruk, 2018 ). In several studies, it is stated that dates can increase hemoglobin levels in the blood. Where dates contain iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, protein to form red blood cells. With the method, Infused Water the date palm water becomes alkaline so that it can accelerate the absorption process in the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of dates infused water provision to increase hemoglobin levels of midwifery adolescent girls at Medan Health Polytechnic in 2020. This research was quasi-experimental study using the One Group Pretest-Posttest Without Control Design approach. The sample in this study were 20 respondents of midwifery adolescent girls from Medan Health Polytechnic, using the technique of purposive sampling. The statistical test used wa the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test because the data was not normal. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test obtained the value of P-Value = 0.001. So it can be concluded that the date infused water  is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels of midwifery adolescent girls at Medan Health Polytechnic in 2020.   Keywords: Dates Infused Water, Increased Hemoglobin Levels, Girls Adolescent

Uric acid is the final result of purine metabolism in the body, which excreted through urine. In gout conditions, there is uric acid crystals deposit in joints. In the women's uric acid levels did not increase until menopause because estrogen helps to increase spending uric acid in the kidneys by reducing the amount of uric acid reabsorption. Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff) Boerl is a plant that has medicinal properties to treat gout because Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff) Boerl contains flavonoids that can lower uric acid by the mechanism of resistance to the activity of xanthine oxidase on purine bases so that it will reduce production of uric acid. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff) Boerl’s decoction water on uric acid’s level in postmenopausal women in RW 01 Kelurahan Kebonsari Sukun Malang. This research is Pre Experiment with one group pre-post test design. Using 24 postmenopausal women who suffer from uric acid with total sampling technique. Test data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test on the significant level α = 0.05. The results showed 87.5% of respondents had decreased levels of uric acid and 12.5% of respondents did not experience changes in uric acid’s level or are likely to remain. Results of analysis of test data with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test Zhitung obtained (-4.02) < ZTable (1,96). It’s means there is influence of Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff) Boerl’s decoction water to reduction of uric acid levels in postmenopausal women. Referring to these results it is expected that Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff) Boerl can be used as therapy in the treatment of gout. Keywords : Water decoction of Mahkota Dewa, Levels of Uric Acid, Female Menopause

Abstract Introduction: The Trunk-Pelvis-Hip Angle (TPHA) test is used for assessing the mobility of lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. The aim of the research was to assess the intraobserver reliability of the TPHA test in girls with and without idiopathic scoliosis and to compare the test values obtained by the girls in both groups. Material and methods: The research included girls without scoliosis and girls with double idiopathic scoliosis aged 8-16. The trunk-pelvis-hip angle was measured three times on each body side within one session. Statistical analysis was performed with the use of ANOVA intraclass correlation coefficient for dependent groups, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test as well as non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test for dependent groups and Mann-Whitney U test for independent groups. Results: The research included 49 healthy girls (aged 11.8 ± SD 2.5 years) and 49 girls with double idiopathic scoliosis (aged 12.7 ± SD 2.6 years; Cobb angle Th 27.7° ± SD 13.4° and L Cobb 25.8° ± SD 10.5°). The intraobserver reliability for the TPHA measurements was very high (ICC>0.85). In both groups the left-side TPHA value was significantly higher than the right-side value (p=0.001). The TPHA range of motion on the right side of the body was more limited in the scoliotic girls than in the healthy ones (p=0.001). Conclusions: The TPHA test is a reliable means of assessing mobility in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex in girls by one observer. The asymmetry of movements in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex in healthy girls needs to be observed since it may constitute one of the factors predisposing to scoliosis which limits spine rotation range of motion. The TPHA test needs further research.

Uric acid is the result of production by the body, so its quality can be normal in the blood and urine. However, the rest of the protein metabolism of foods containing purines also produces uric acid. One variable that impacts uric acid levels is the knowledge a person has so that a better lifestyle can be improved by providing health education. This research purpose is to establish the effect of health education on knowledge and adherence to the gout diet on gout arthritis patient. Pre-experimental with One group pretest-posttest design has been used in this research. Forty-five respondents were collected using total sampling and a questionnaire was used to measure the data. The analysis data using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed that the significance value (p-value) is about 0.000 <0.05 which indicate that there is an effect of health education on knowledge and adherence. It can be deduced there is an effect of health education on knowledge and adherence to diet for gout arthritis patients.

During the last two decades the traditional subjective appraisal of the body fat stores in farm animals, made by eye and touch, has been rationalized by the introduction of numerical systems of rating specific anatomical points.Palpation of the lumbar vertebrae, the pin and hook bones (tail head) (Lowman et al. 1973), and, occasionally, width behind the shoulders (Treacher et al. 1986) provides an assessment of the fatness of the animal. This is calibrated from standard photographic charts, in the use of which the operator is trained. Body condition scoring (CS) by this method has been widely developed for dairy cows (Earle, 1976; Mulvany, 1977; MacCarthy, 1978; Scott & Smeaton, 1980; Wildman et al. 1982; Aalseth et al. 1983; Anon. 1986; Garcia Paloma, 1990).The actual numerical scales have varied among systems. Thus over the range from very thin to very fat cows the scale is 1, 2…7, 8 (Earle, 1976) and 0½, 1,…4½, 5 (Mulvany, 1977), for example. CS is thus a discrete variate with a limited number of readings. Several authors have sought to decrease the division size, for example 1, 1 1/3; 1 2/3;…4 2/3, 5 (Ducker et al. 1985a, see also Dewhurst et al. 1996) and by using the means of the separate values obtained by two operators judging CS independently (W. H. Broster, V. J. Broster, A. J. Clements, J. W. Siviter and T. Smith, unpublished results). In this review CS will be stated in the units given by Mulvany (1977), to which other ranges have been scaled. Inspection of CS data has usually been conducted by analysis of variance, but also by the Mann–Whitney signed rank test (Moorby et al. 1996).Evans (1978) and Nicoll (1981) studied the variation in recording CS. Both investigators concluded that a system of observation by two independent assessors per recording occasion is advantageous and that revision training is necessary to maintain operator standardization. Of total variance in CS, some 60–70% was found attributable to ‘between-animal’ differences, <5% to assessor variation and <10% to animal×assessor variation. Croxton & Stollard (1976) found good repeatability of CS measurements ‘between’ and ‘within’ operators. It is regrettable that few reports of experimentation give full details of method of and number of operators engaged in body score recording.
