Background: Leprosy is a disease that causes social, psychological, and economic issues. Failure to treat the causes of the immune system dysregulation in endemic areas of leprosy conditions makes the transmission of the bacteria easier. This paper aims to analyze the comparison of family income, occupation types of mothers and fathers, number of children, access to health facilities, and education of mothers, fathers, and children in mothers and children with leprosy in endemic and non-endemic areas. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study by survey was done in both an endemic and a non-endemic area of leprosy in Tuban Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Retrieval of research data was done using interview techniques. Respondents who participated in this study were 106 pairs of mother and child respondents who met the research restriction criteria. Subjects were divided into 5groups based on diagnosis of leprosy and area of living. Bivariate analysis was performed by comparing the independent variables in each group A, B, C, and D with group E. Results:It was found that the variables that differed significantly between the endemic and non-endemic areas were the variable number of children with a p-value=0.004, family income with a p-value=0.049 and the variable mother’s education with a p-value=0.016. Meanwhile, other variables do not have significant difference. Conclusions:We found significant difference on the number of children, father’s education, mother's education, and family income. These variables can be a risk factor for leprosy. To make efforts to prevent the transmission of leprosy, stakeholders should consider these factors.

IntroductionThe poor nutritional status of under five children has been considered a serious problem in Nepal for many years. Children need adequate nutrition for their proper physical, emotional as well as psychological development.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess and compare the nutritional status of under five children and explore its socio demographic determinants.MethodologyAn analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Eastern Terai, ecological belt of Nepal. Predesigned, pretested interview schedule was used to collect the information. Information was collected from 720 Dalit as well as Non-dalit mothers about their youngest children. The nutritional status was measured byusing anthropometric measurements.  ResultsIn bi-variate analysis the significant difference were observed among children's nutritional status between castes as well as a number of socio-demographic variables however in multivariate analysis only caste, number of Children Ever Born (CEB) and mother's education were found significant determinants of height for age, mother's education was found significant determinant for weight for height and caste, age of children and mother's education were found significant determinants of weight for age of children.ConclusionDalit children were found much more malnourished than Nondalit. The castes, age of child, CEB to mother and mothers' education were found as the determinants of nutritional status among under-five children.Birat Journal of Health Sciences Vol.2/No.1/Issue 2/ Jan - April 2017, Page: 117-126

BACKGROUND: In developing countries, stunting among children is a major public health concern. It affects all aspects of children’s lives; its effects are not constrained to physical wellbeing but reach out to mental, social, and spiritual wellbeing. AIM: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of stunting in some of the Egyptian governmental primary school children and its nutritional and socioeconomic determinants. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on primary school children aged 6–12 years. General demographic, socioeconomic, and anthropometric data, as well as dietary pattern, were collected. RESULTS: Out of 1740 children, 7.8% were stunted. Not eating eggs and dairy products had the most profound effect on stunting in children (p < 0.001). Not having meals on time, skipping breakfast, and having <3 meals per day were predictors of stunting (p = 0.003, p = 0.00, and p = 0.008, respectively). Mother’s education (p = 0.005) followed by family income (p = 0.007) was the most affecting social factors. CONCLUSION: There are many nutritional factors associated with stunting as skipping breakfast, not having meals on time, and having <3 meals per day. Scarcity in nutritive foods as eggs and dairy products and increased soft drink intake can lead to stunting. There are many enabling social factors for stunting as mother’s education and family income. However, the effects of these factors can be modified by health awareness.

Background: Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is becoming popular worldwide especially among youth. Research reported that university students have poor knowledge and misconceptions about the health risks of e-cigarettes, which may lead students to use them even in populations where prevalence of cigarette smoking is relatively low. At this age, the influence of peers is also significant. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of e-cigarette use among university students as well as their knowledge and attitudes towards e-cigarettes. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional study among Qatar University students using a self-administered online questionnaire. Descriptive univariate analysis of all variables was conducted as well as a bivariate analysis to check the association of e-cigarette use with selected variables. A binary logistic regression was conducted to assess predictors of e-cigarette use. Results: The prevalence of e-cigarette use among students was found to be 14% where 32% of them were daily users. Approximately 42% of the participants agreed that ‘e-cigarettes are less harmful to health compared to traditional cigarettes, and 45.7% of them agreed that ‘e-cigarettes can prevent smoking traditional cigarettes. The prevalence of e-cigarettes use was 16.2% among males and 12.8% among females, which showed no significant difference between the two genders. Females were more likely to use e-cigarettes because they “don’t smell” (P-value=0.023). The study showed a significant association between e-cigarette use and knowledge items (P-value < 0.05) and having a smoker among siblings or friends. At the multivariate analysis level, only the friends’ effect remained significant after controlling for the other variables (OR= 7.3, P-value=0.000). Conclusion: Our research found that university students have inadequate knowledge and misconceptions in regards to e-cigarettes use, especially among users. Effective smoking prevention policy and educational interventions are needed to enhance awareness among university students about the health effects associated with e-cigarettes use.

Background: Nutrition literacy is the ability to obtain, process, understand, and use nutritional and dietary information, as well as access to the services needed to make good nutritional decisions. Low nutritional literacy can have an impact on a poor diet and lead to the incidence of non-communicable diseases related to nutrition, such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. College students are prone to develop poor eating habits if not supported by good nutrition literacy.Objectives: This study measured the difference in the proportion of nutritional literacy in regular active undergraduate students at the University of Indonesia based on the cluster of science, gender, paternal and maternal education level, pocket money, and media use.Methods: The study design used is a cross-sectional design with quota sampling method to get 130 samples of students from Health Science Cluster and 130 samples of students from Non-Health Science Cluster.Results: The results of this study showed that the majority of the University of Indonesia students in 2021 has an adequate level of nutrition literacy (62.7%). The results of the bivariate analysis also showed a significant difference in proportion to the level of total nutrition literacy based on cluster of science (OR = 6.7, p-value < 0.01), gender (OR = 2.25, p-value < 0.01), and media use (OR = 4.36, p-value < 0.01). In addition to these factors, there was also a difference in proportion between the level of interactive nutrition literacy based on maternal education level (p-value < 0.05)Conclusions: Students from non-health science cluster are at risk of having a lower level of nutrition literacy compared to students from health science cluster. There are differences in the proportion of nutritional literacy levels based on cluster of science, gender, maternal education level, and media use.

Latar Belakang: Upaya peningkatan derajat kesehatan pada sektor lingkungan salah satunya dengan pengadaan sarana lingkungan fisik yang sehat seperti jamban keluarga. Berdasarkan data Laporan Kemajuan Akses Sanitasi Kumulatif Nasional Tahun 2019, penduduk Jawa Timur yang masih menumpang ke jamban sehat sebanyak 879.969 Kepala Keluarga dan yang berperilaku Open Deficiation (OD) sebanyak 969.663 KK.Tujuan: Menganalisis perbedaan faktor enabling terhadap praktik buang air besar antara desa belum ODF dengan desa ODF.Metode: Jenis penelitian observasional analitik kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan desain penelitian Cross Sectional. Dianalisis secara univariate menggunakan uji One Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test dan bivariat menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney U test”. Dari uji ini diperoleh kemungkinan hasil uji yaitu signifikan atau bermakna α = 0,05 maka terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara variable yang diuji. Hipotesa diterima apabila p value ≤ 0,05.Hasil: Uji statistik Mann Whitney U test menyatakan adanya perbedaan pada praktik buang air besar antara desa belum ODF (Kelurahan Jagir) dan desa ODF (Kelurahan Ketintang) dimana pada kepemilikan lahan pada Kelurahan Jagir masyarakat tidak memiliki lahan sendiri dan lahan yang ditempati merupakan milik PT. KAI yang berpengaruh pada ketersediaan jamban sehat, sekalipun memiliki jamban tetapi tidak dilengkapi dengan septic tank, sedangkan pada Kelurahan Ketintang rata-rata masyarakat memiliki lahan sendiri, sehingga mempermudah masyarakat memiliki jamban yang dilengkapi dengan septic tank. Hal ini dikarenakan nilai p-value = 0,000 < dari α (0,05), dimana jika p-value < α, maka H0 ditolak dan Ha diterima.Kesimpulan: Lahan yang ditempati  masyarakat Jagir bukan milik sendiri sehingga mempersulit warga untuk membangun jamban sehat, serta jamban yang ada tidak memenuhi persyaratan jamban sehat, sedangkan masyarakat Ketintang yang rata-rata tinggal di dekat sungai tetapi telah menerapkan praktik buang air besar yang benar dengan menggunakan jamban sehat.AbstractBackground: One of the efforts to improve health status in the environmental sector is the provision of a healthy physical environment such as family toilet. Based on data from the 2019 National Cumulative Access to Sanitation Progress Report, the population of East Java who still uses healthy latrines is 879,969 households and those who have Open Deficiation (OD) behavior are 969,663 families. Objective: Intervention of possible factors needs to be done because these factors are supporting/enabling factors, where if we do a certain intervention it will be difficult if the facilities and infrastructure are not available/ not supported. Methods: This type of research is observational analytic quantitative and qualitative whith a cross sectional research design. The data analysis technique was univariate using the One Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and bivariate analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test. From this test, it is obtained that the test results are signicant or significant α = 0.05, so there is a significant difference between the tested variables. The hypothesis is accepted if the p value is ≤ 0.05. Results: The statistical  test of the Mann Whitney U test states that there is a differences in the practice of defecating between Kelurahan Jagir and Kelurahan Ketintang where in land ownership in Kelurahan Jagir, the community does not own their own land and the land occupied is owned by PT.KAI has an effect on the availability of healthy latrines, even though it has a latrine but is not equipped with a septic tank, while in Ketintang Village the average person has their own land, making it easier for the community to have a toilet equipped with a septic tank. Conclusion: The land occupied by the Jagir community is not their own, making it difficult for residents to build healthy latrines, and the existing latrines do not meet the requirements for healthy latrines, while the Ketintang community who mostly live near the river but have implemented the correct practice of defecating using healthy latrines.
