Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a frequent case of stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels and the accumulation of changeable and unchangeable risk factors. The impact of stroke is a long-term physical and functional disorder that affects the life quality of the patient and the family. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the occurrence of non-hemorrhagic stroke. This study is an observational analytic epidemiological study with case control research design conducted in 2 private hospitals. The samples were selected sequentially with a ratio of 1: 2 (case: control) consisting of 50 patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke and 100 patients without non-hemorrhagic stroke. The data was analyzed by univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis method by using binary logistic regression. The results of risk factor analysis which were independently associated were Total Blood Cholesterol, History of Hypertension, Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, and Cardiac Examination. The multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors affecting non hemorrhagic stroke were History of Hypertension (OR: 6,476, p = 0.000, 95% CI: 2,338-17,935), Total Blood Cholesterol Level ≥200 mg/dl (OR: 6,139, p = 0.000, 95% CI: 2,334-16,148), Education Level (OR: 0,311, p = 0.009, 95% CI: 0,129-0,747), Gender (OR: 0.379, p = 0.022, 95% CI: 0.165-0.871 ), and Obesity (OR: 2,217, p = 0.080, 95% CI: 0.910-5.401). As a conclusion, there were 5 variables of risk factors that influence to Non Hemorrhagic Stroke. If those variables of risk factors were exist in the respondent, the risk of a non hemorrhagic Stroke reached 81.6%. It was suggested that the patients made an effort on preventions by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and controlling risk factors affecting the occurrence of non-hemorrhagic stroke.

BACKGROUND: Research has shown that the decrease in the inner diameter of vessels caused by hyperlipidemia lowers the capacity for blood oxygen delivery to the cochlea. This leads to impaired cochlear metabolism and causes hearing problems. OBJECTIVE: The effects of dyslipidemia on noise-induced hearing loss in workers were examined. METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 692 male employees in a petrochemical industry in the southwest of Iran exposed to 85 dB noise. Clinical audiometry and blood sample tests were used to evaluate the hearing and prevalence indices of dyslipidemia (cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL). The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 25 (p = 0.05). RESULTS: The results showed that the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 24.5%with abnormal relative triglyceride frequency of 49.5%, HDL of 28%, LDL of 33%, and total blood cholesterol level of 37.8%. There was no significant relationship between NIHL and dyslipidemia (p >  0.09). However, the major NIHL drops at different frequencies were in the individuals with dyslipidemia. The parameters age and dyslipidemia increased NIHL odds ratio (95%C.I.). by 1.130 (1.160–1.100) and 1.618 (2.418–1.082) respectively CONCLUSION: The rate of hearing loss in individuals with dyslipidemia increases at different frequencies and it leads to an increase of the OR of NIHL in individuals with dyslipidemia. We can control dyslipidemia and its effective factors. The NIHL is more common in people exposed to noise.

Background: Cholesterol is a fat that does not dissolve easily in the blood. Most of the cholesterol in the blood is attached to specific protein carriers in the plasma in the form of lipoprotein complexes, which are soluble in water. Lipoprotein which carries cholesterol throughout the body. namely LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). An increase in LDL in the body tends to form atherosclerosis. In contrast HDL cholesterol inhibits LDL oxidation so that atherosclerotic plaque formation does not occur. Obesity is one of the risk factors for atherosclerosis with manifestations of coronary heart disease. Handling of obesity has been done by many researchers and implemented. One ingredient from nature that serves as an alternative ingredient to lower blood cholesterol levels is avocado. Objective: To determine the effect of avocado administration on total blood cholesterol levels in the obese college students at the Medical Faculty of Nommensen HKBP University in 2019. Methods :This research is a pre-experimental study with a pre-post test design in one group. The sample was selected by purposive sampling method and obtained 20 obese students. Subjects consumed avocado juice every day for 14 days. Total cholesterol levels were measured before (day 0) and after (day 14) treatment. Results: The mean total cholesterol level of the subject's blood on the pretest examination was 188.10 mg / dL and the posttest examination was 180.05 mg / dL. There was a decrease in the average total blood cholesterol level of 8.05 mg / dl. Paired T-test showed that there was a non-significant decrease in mean total blood cholesterol level with a value of p = 0.068 (p <0.05). Conclusion: In this study there was no effect of avocado administration on total blood cholesterol levels in obese students.

Introduction: Ideal total blood cholesterol (TC) levels are associated with lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. In the U.S. TC increases up to middle age, but declines at older ages. Few studies have characterized the transition from ideal to intermediate and poor TC levels in different life epochs and in minorities. Methods: Cross-sectional 2007-2012 NHANES data (N = 11,140) were used to estimate the age-, race-, and sex- specific prevalence of ideal (≥20 years: <200 mg/dL untreated, 16-19 years: <170 mg/dL), intermediate (≥20 years: 200-239 mg/dL or treated to goal, 16-19 years: 170-199 mg/dL), and poor (≥20 years: ≥240 mg/dL, 16-19 years: ≥200 mg/dL) TC, defined per American Heart Association criteria. We then used these data and novel Markov-type models to estimate net transition probabilities between ideal, intermediate and poor TC. Results: Between the ages of 16 and 18, the prevalence of ideal TC among European American (EA) and African American (AA) men was approximately 68%, notably higher than the prevalence in EA women (63%) and AA women (61%). Variation in the loss of ideal TC was also observed by race and sex. Between 16-50 years of age, the proportion of AA men, EA men and EA women with ideal levels of TC declined approximately 2.0% (95% CI: 1.8%, 2.2%) per year. In AA women by contrast, the age-specific decline in ideal TC was not uniform between 16-50 years of age. The proportion of AA women with ideal levels of TC declined 0.7% (95% CI: 0.2%, 1.2%) per year from 16-20 years of age but increased to 2.8% (95% CI: 2.4%, 3.3%) per year by age 50. Among populations with intermediate TC levels, estimated 1-year net transitions to poor TC peaked at age 16, the earliest age under investigation, for EA men, EA women, and AA men but remained stable for AA women through 70 years of age, where a net 0.6% (95% CI: 0.1%, 1.3%) of the population with intermediate TC levels transitioned to poor TC levels one year later. In all demographic groups and life epochs, greater proportions of the population transitioned from intermediate to poor TC than from poor to intermediate TC. Conclusions: Loss of ideal TC begins early in life and shows divergent patters by gender and race. Difficulties re-attaining ideal TC once classified as intermediate or poor support interventions that promote ideal TC levels in younger ages, especially among AA women.

Purpose. This study examines whether social support for behavior change at work is associated with changes in employee heart disease risk factors. Design. A prospective correlational design was used with data sets collected 12 months apart. Setting. Twenty-five small to medium worksites in Oregon. Subjects. Participants were 689 men and 421 women volunteers who participated in two health assessments at the worksite on company time. Measures. Demographic characteristics, gender, social support, smoking behavior, dietary fat intake, and total blood cholesterol. Results. Employees reporting strong social support at work for not smoking and for limiting dietary fat were less likely to smoke (r = -.11, odds ratio [OR] = .86) and to consume fat in their diets (r = −.10) at baseline. Employees who reported the most change in social support over a 12-month period were most likely to have stopped smoking (r = .15, OR = 1.31). Social support at baseline, however, was unrelated to change in smoking, dietary fat, or total blood cholesterol in a prospective design. Although women reported more social support at work than did men, no differential gender effects of social support were reported on heart disease risk status or change in risk status. Conclusion. Baseline social support at work did not predict future behavior change. The observed association between social support and lifestyle may be better explained as cognitive rationalization than by the impact of social support on behavior.

Abstract: Indonesia is a tropical country that has more than 1,000 kinds of medicinal plants. Medicinal plant is the use of part(s) of plants as ingredients in traditional medicine or synthetic drugs. One of the traditional medicine is avocado. Several studies have concluded that the avocado fruit and leaves can reduce total blood cholesterol levels while the seed is used in Nigeria for treating hypertension. This was an experimental study. Samples consisted of 12 male Wistar rats, divided into 4 groups (3 rats in each group). The treated groups were given propylthiouracil (PTU) for 14 days then the rats were given 125 mg/kg or 250 mg/kg of avocado seed extract for 14 days. The positive control group was given PTU 8 mg/rat for 14 days, followed by simvastatin 0.2 mg for 14 days. The negative control group was only given food and water. The results showed that the average level of total blood cholesterol in Wistar rats after treated with 125 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg avocado seed extract decreased by 18.1% and 31.2%, respectively. Conclusion: Avocado seed extract had an effect in reducing total blood cholesterol of Wistar rats.Keywords: avocado seed, total cholesterol levelAbstrak: Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara tropis yang memiliki banyak tumbuhan dimana lebih dari 1000 tumbuhan tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai tanaman obat.
