The flash flood that occurred in the Garut Regency three years ago brought about devastating effects, one of which was the psychological impact in adolescents, namely PTSD. This study aims at detecting the presence of PTSD in adolescent victims of the flash flood that occurred in Garut, Indonesia three years ago. PTSD screening was conducted using the PTSD Checklist (PCL) questionnaire for 102 teenagers of the State Junior High-School (SMPN) 3 Tarogong Kidul who were victims of the flood and selected using a purposive sampling technique. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with cross-sectional approach. The results showed that three years after the Garut flash flood, a total of 80% of adolescent victims did not experience PTSD and 20 (20%) of the adolescents were identified having PTSD. The highest arising symptom responses were re-experiencing (90%) and hyperarousal (80%), which involve feeling intruded by memories of disasters and increased alertness. It is expected that nurses and experts can perform early and continuous screening for PTSD following a traumatic event, both in adolescents and other age groups to prevent another more severe impact.

A descriptive type of cross-sectional study was conducted in a village Gohordo of Gabtoli Upazila, Bogra to assess the knowledge and awareness of people of age above 18 years and above about "bird flu", its modes of transmission and prevention, by an interviewer administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was pretested and data were collected using purposive sampling technique. In this study it was found that out of 418 people, 231(55.26%) were female and the rest 187 (44.74%) were male. Majority of the respondents 226 (54.06%) were in the age group of 20-40 years, followed by 29.19%, 8.85% and7.89% were in the age groups of 40-60,<20 and above>60 years respectively. More than half; 226 (54.06%) of the people heard the term ‘bird flu'; majority of them (95.13%) as a disease. Among 226, 193(85.39) respondents know that the disease may transmit to human population. But only 32, (30%) people think that this disease is transmitted by keeping infected birds & suspected poultry, followed by 19.02% who think that it transmitted by caring & culling poultry. Among the people who heard the name of the disease,95 (42%) people had no knowledge about the signs and symptoms of the disease and only 20.35% respondents knew poultry carrying people and poultry meat eaters as "susceptible groups" getting infection. About 195 (77.43%) people know that this disease is preventable. About 55.31% and 37.16% people think, partially cooked meat and half boiled egg respectively may spread the disease to man. There is a strong association of literacy with the knowledge of the disease (p<0.05).

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the hearing threshold among different age groups, genders, and geographic areas in China to provide some insight into the appropriate clinical interventions for hearing loss. Method Using a systematic random sampling technique, 562 participants from Qinling, Qinghai, and Nanjing were included. Participants in the same area were divided into 3 groups according to their age. Pure-tone audiometric thresholds were measured at octave and interoctave frequencies of 0.125–16 kHz for each subject. Results There were significant differences in auditory thresholds at nearly all frequencies among young, middle-aged, and elderly people, and hearing thresholds increased with increasing age. People generally had the best hearing ability in Nanjing, better hearing ability in Qinghai, and the worst hearing ability in Qinling. Significant differences in hearing thresholds were found between males and females at several frequencies in Qinling. Conclusion People living in the rural area of Qinling in China had higher hearing threshold levels, particularly males, and hearing thresholds increased with age.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging respiratory disease that was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has become a public health problem around the world. The main mode of transmission of this virus is human to human transmission via respiratory droplets that produced when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks. This virus spread rapidly from China to other countries. The participation of society is needed in reducing the spread of COVID-19. People's commitment and obedience in dealing with this pandemic situation are generally influenced by knowledge, attitudes and practices. In previous studies, it was found that gender and age affect the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices for preventing COVID-19. This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 prevention based on gender and age group in Java Island residents. Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling. The number of samples in this study was 1,680 Java Island residents. Results: The variables in this study were measured through a self-reported questionnaire that was distributed online. The results showed that the female and the late adult group (≥61 years) tended to have good knowledge and practice towards COVID-19 prevention.Conclusion : It is necessary to increase education related to COVID-19 and socialization of health protocols to the community with male sex and young age groups

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that through its complications can seriously impact the quality of life of an individual. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is starting to rise at a younger age. This study is carried out to determine the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes mellitus in productive aged persons and to study the association of socio-demographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure among persons with and without diabetes mellitus. A community-based cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in Makalbari area. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select the households. The family members from those households who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed with self-constructed semi-structured questionnaire which included socio-demographic information of respondents. Height, weight and blood pressure were recorded. BMI was interpreted as per WHO guidelines and hypertension was defined as per Joint National Committee (JNC) VII guidelines. Among total 662 participants, 342 (51.7%) were female and 320 (48.3%) were male. About 196 (29.6%) of subjects were between 25 to 34 age group followed by 145(21.9%) of them in 35 to 44 age group. Prevalence of diagnosed diabetes mellitus in productive aged persons in urban area was 3.8%. The prevalence of BMI of ≥25 was 42.4%. Out of total subjects, maximum number of respondents were prehypertensive 406 (61.3%). Mean age of total participants was 37.9±13.59 and BMI was 24.15±3.89.The age of respondents was highly statistically significant among the persons with diabetes (p = 0.000). The number of diabetes mellitus increased with increase in age and BMI of the participants. Prevalence of diabetes mellitus was almost same in both male 13 (52.0%) and female 12 (48.0%). Diabetes mellitus was seen more in subjects who had completed secondary level education 11 (44.0%) and in homemakers and government job holders, 3 (33.3%) each. In conclusion, most of the people in productive age groups were preobese and were in prehypertensive stage which may increase the risk of acquiring diabetes mellitus in future. This necessitates the screening of more persons in productive age group for diabetes mellitus.

Objective: The aim of study is to determine the knowledge and perception towards ketogenic diet among general population, as a weight lowering technique for a shorter period of time. Study Design: Cross sectional study Place and Duration: The study was conducted on general public of Rawalpindi and the duration of study was of six months i.e from 15thJan 2020 to 14thJuly 2020. Methods: Data was collected through questionnaires and each question measured with the help of five Likert Scale (Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, strongly agree). More than 10 questions were asked from the general public in Rawalpindi of all age groups and analyzed through Microsoft Excel. The questionnaire was distributed via internet-based google form. The respondents actively and willingly participated in the survey. Keeping in mind the current pandemic situation, it was difficult to reach out the people in person, so we used simple convenient sampling technique. Some of the data was collected by using snowball sampling technique.The respondents from Rawalpindi region were included in the study whereas all from other cities were excluded. Results: There were68 (81%) females and 16 (19%) males in this study. Most of the patients 36 (42.9%) were from <25 years of age, 29 (34.5%) patients were between age group 26-35, 18 (21.4%) were between 36-45 years of age and the rest were >46 years of age. Findings show that ketogenic diet is the most popular weight losing technique these days. While 47% of the people believe that the diet shall be followed under the supervision of a physician keeping in mind the risks associated with it. Conclusion: Ketogenic diet is a popular weight loss diet these days. The general population somehow have the knowledge about the pros and cons of the diet. But still there is a dire need of health promotion and education regarding intake of ketogenic diet. The results are insignificant due to limited time and pandemic situation, so we are unable to gather significant amount of sample to know the actual reason behind younger population’s inclination towards ketogenic diet. Key Words: Keto-diet, Ketogenic, Perception and Knowledge

The current trend of secularization seems to be leading to a gradual withdrawal of religion from public spaces. However, in an increasingly internationalized world, it is becoming more and more important to study the roles of religion and religiosity and their potential in relation to dialogue and social conflicts and tensions. Education is a vital field within which to address this religious issue and create an educational dialogue in order to promote coexistence. By following a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study, based on a quasi-experimental methodology with a social–analytical character, our aim is to assess the existing connections between religion, interrelation and opinion in Spanish children and adolescents. Special attention is paid to the interaction between age and beliefs. We carried out our study with the use of a questionnaire distributed to eleven secondary schools, with students aged between 11 and 16 years old, in three regions of southern Spain (Andalusia, Ceuta, and Melilla) characterized by high religious diversity and multiculturalism. The multivariate analysis carried out in this study identifies the effects of variance on the influence of age and religion, highlighting the interaction between the two. It is observed that the youngest students are those who express their opinions about religion the least, while those belonging to younger age groups and majority religions are those who express a greater religious coexistence, with Muslims externalizing their religious condition the most.
