Age Of Menarche

AbstrakBeberapa dekade terakhir ini, telah terjadi kecenderungan onset menarche dini yang dikaitkan dengan nutrisi yang lebih baik. Penelitian yang telah ada menemukan penurunan usia menarche yang diiringi oleh peningkatan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) yang terjadi dalam 25 tahun terakhir. Onset menarche yang lebih cepat juga ditemukan pada anak yang gemuk dibandingkan yang kurus. IMT rendah menunjukkan tidak terpenuhinya nutrisi yang dapat mempengaruhi kecepatan tumbuh–kembang anak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan hubungan  IMT dengan usia menarche. Penelitian cross-sectional study ini dilakukan terhadap 77 siswi yang dipilih melalui teknik proportional random sampling dan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner. Data yang telah terkumpul lalu dianalisis dengan uji korelasi spearman. Hasil studi ini adalah rata-rata IMT 19,93 (±3,162) kg/m2dan rata-rata usia menarche adalah 11,75 tahun dengan usia termuda 9 tahun dan tertua 14 tahun. Ditemukan adanya hubungan antara IMT dengan usia menarche dengan nilai p=0,000 (p<0,05) dan r=-0,429. Kesimpulan studi ini ialah semakin tinggi IMT, maka semakin cepat terjadi menarche.Kata kunci: IMT, usia menarche, menarche AbstractThe last decades, there has been a trend of earlier onset of menarche is associated with better nutrition. Several studies have found a decrease in age of menarche is accompanied by an increase in Basal Metabolism Index (BMI). Rapid onset of menarche also found in obese children than lean. Low BMI show no fulfillment of nutrients that can affect the growth and development speed in children. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between BMI with age at menarche. This cross sectional study was conducted on 77 female students who were selected through proportional random sampling technique. The data was collected by questionnaires and interviews, than was analyzed by Spearman correlation test. The results of this study was the average BMI 19.93 (±3.162) kg / m2, and the average age of menarche was 11.75 years with 9 years old as the youngest and the oldest 14 years. There is a correlation between BMI at the age at menarche, with p value=0.000 (p<0.01) and r=-0.429. The conclusion is a higher BMI could cause  more rapidly menarche.Keywords:  BMI, age at menarche, menarche

STATUS NUTRISI BERPENGARUH TERHADAP KUANTITAS TIDUR PADA LANSIA Sunardi Program Studi Ilmu Keperawatan, Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Muhammadiyah 65145e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRAK Umur harapan hidup penduduk Indonesia mencapai 65,1 tahun, dan berakibat peningkatan jumlah penduduk lanjut usia 8,48%. Status nutrisi lanjut usia semakin menurun seiring dengan degenerasi fungsi organ akibat proses menua. Kuantitas tidur lanjut usia mengalami perubahan akibat episode tidur REM  cenderung memendek, terjadi penurunan yang progresif pada tahap tidur NREM 3 dan 4, lebih sering terbangun di malam hari, dan membutuhkan banyak waktu untuk jatuh tertidur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah discriptive correlation dengan pendekatan cross sectional study untuk menganalisis hubungan antara status nutrisi dan kuantitas tidur pada lanjut usia. Pengambilan sampel dengan purposive sampling terhadap 35 lanjut usia yang tinggal di Panti Werdha “x” sesuai kriteria telah ditentukan oleh peneliti. Status nutrisi lanjut usia diukur dengan observasi MNA dan kuantitas tidur dengan kuisioner dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis dengan koefisien korelasi Spearman Rho. Hasil penelitian didapatkan tingkat signifikasi hubungan antara variabel status nutrisi dan kuantitas tidur pada lanjut usia adalah 0,01 sehingga p value < 0.05, artinya H 0 ditolak dan H1 diterima. Kesimpulan analisis adalah: ada hubungan yang sangat signifikan antara status nutrisi dan kuantitas tidur pada lanjut usia di panti werdha “X”. Saran bagi peneliti selanjutnya adalah menindaklanjuti penelitian dengan metode komparasi, tehnik random sampling. Pada Panti Werdha seyogyanya melakukan skrining terhadap status nutrisi dan kuantitas tidur pada lanjut usia. Kata kunci: Status nutrisi , kuantitas tidur, lanjut usia   ABSTRACT Indonesian’s life expectancy age is 65,1 years old, and this causes on increasing population of elderly approximately 8,48%. However, elderly nutrition status is getting decrease along their organ function degeneration, which is caused by aging process. Sleep quantity on elderly is changing because of short stage REM. There is also progressive decreasing on stage III and IV NREM, easily wake up in the middle of the night and they need more times to go sleep. This research method is descriptive correlation using cross sectional study approach in order to analyze correlation between nutrition statuses and sleep quantity on elderly. Samples are taken by purposive sampling  method is 35 elderly peoples who lives in nursing home “X” according to researcher’s criteria. Nutrition status observed with MNA and sleep quantity is measured by using questioners and interview, then it analyzed with Rho Spearman coefficient correlation. Significance rate that correlate between nutrition status variable and sleep quantity elderly is 0,01, there for p value < 0,05, it means that Ho is refused and H1 is accepted. There is a significance correlation between nutrition status and sleep quantity on elderly in Nursing Home “X”. To make further follow up this research using comparative study and random sampling technique for next researcher. For nursing home, I suggest that they doing screening on nutrition status and sleep quantity on elderly. Keywords: Nutrition status, Sleep quantity, Elderly

Three hundred sixty nine students participated in this study which was selected by simple random sampling technique. Data were collected by using a self-administered PHQ-9 standard depression questionnaire. First the data was entered into in Epidata 3.1 and then was exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Associated factors were identified using binary logistic regression and variables with a p-value < 0.05 were declared as statistically significant factors with the outcome variables. Result: All of the study subjects were between ages 18 and 33 with a mean age of 22.65 9 ± 2.78. The overall prevalence of depression is 17.1%. Among this according to PHQ-9 scores cut scores, 161(43.6 %) scored as normal (0–4), 145(39.3%) scored as mild (5–9), 53(14.4%) scored as moderate (10–14), 4(1.1%) scored as moderately severe (15–19) and 6(1.6%) students scored as sever (> 20).

Background: Present study highlights that the worldwide trend of declining age at menarche is also seen in urban Indian girls. The aim of the study was to evaluate the age of menarche and to find out the factors associated with the timing of menarche.Methods: The study was an observational cross sectional study. 258 healthy, menstruating, adolescent girls aged 10-16 years, were selected by simple random sampling. Pre-designed structured questionnaires were distributed after taking informed consent. Anthropometric measurements were taken using standard techniques. The average age of menarche was calculated. The association of the age at menarche with the proposed factors was analyzed using chi square test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. “P value” less than 0.05 was considered as significant.Results: The mean age at menarche was found to be 12.23±1.09 years. The study found a strong association between the respondent’s age at menarche and her sister’s age at menarche (p=0.002). The study also found a strong association between age at menarche and the socioeconomic status (p=0.021). This study however found no association of menarcheal age with factors like birth weight, type of diet, frequency of milk intake, body mass index, waist hip ratio, amount of exercise, unstable environment at home and psychosocial stress.Conclusions: The worldwide trend of declining age at menarche is also seen in urban Indian girls.
