Elderly research suggests inappropriate food intake as a one of the health issue. Malnutrition may have an undesirable effect on the health of the body. Elderly people are most at risk because they are often the result of loss of appetite, difficulties with daily shopping, meal preparation, somatic disorders and mental disorders such as depression. The purpose of the study was to investigate malnutrition among the elderly who are staying in social care institutions and to assess its association with anxiety and depression. The data from the study were obtained using the Universal Malnutrition Screening, Geriatric Alert Scale and the Geriatric Depression Scale as tools. Overall, 102 respondents from two social care institutions participated in the study. The majority were women 64.7% (35.3% were male). Respondents ranged in age from 65 to 91 years. There were 27.44% of participants with malnutrition risk and 45.10% with signs of anxiety. Depression symptoms were detected 60.78% of respondents. Within the research sample, a statistically significant relationship between malnutrition and depression was found (r = 0.302, p< 0.01). Prevention of malnutrition and the early detection of depression among seniors will contribute to the improvement of the quality of their life and quality of health care.

Merokok sudah menjadi kebutuhan dan gaya hidup masyarakat Indonesia, rokok menimbulkan banyak permasalahan bagi perokok itu sendiri bahkan lebih berisiko pada orang yang tidak merokok tapi menghirup asap rokok (perokok pasif). Permasalahan rokok di Indonesia masih menjadi perhatian dari pemerintah namun masih tingginya angka perokok dimulai dari anak-anak, remaja, dewasa dan lansia, perilaku merokok tidak memandang jenis kelamin bahkan berdasarkan hasil riskesdas perilaku merokok yang kenaikannya sangat besar terjadi pada perempuan. Perilaku merokok ini sangat membahayakan kesehatan maka dari itu perlu dilakukan sebuah upaya untuk mengurangi perilaku merokok maupun dampak yang ditimbulkan akibat rokok baik bagi perokok aktif maunpun perokok pasif. Upaya yang dilakukan dalam pengabdian masyarakat adalah upaya promotif yaitu penyuluhan KUTARO (lingkungan tanpa rokok) dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk peduli terhadap kesehatan dan lingkungan, upaya selanjutnya yaitu upaya preventif seperti penanaman lidah mertua yang berfungsi untuk mengikat radikal bebas yang berasal dari asap rokok yang ada di udara, dan demo pembuatan pudding mangga yang memiliki kandungan antioksidan, dimana antioksidan dapat mengikat radikal bebas yang masuk ke tubuh supaya tidak merusak organ dan kegiatan ini juga bermanfaat untuk menambah usaha masyarakat sehingga ada peningkatan status ekonomi. Kata Kunci: Rokok, Promotif, Preventif ABSTRACT Smoking has become a necessity and lifestyle of the people of Indonesia, cigarettes cause many problems for smokers themselves are even more risky for people who do not smoke but inhale cigarette smoke (passive smokers). The problem of smoking in Indonesia is still a concern of the government, but the high number of smokers starting from children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, smoking behavior does not look at gender even based on the results of risk smoking behavior that a very large increase occurred in women. This smoking behavior is very dangerous to health and therefore needs to be done an effort to reduce smoking behavior and the effects caused by smoking for both active smokers and passive smokers. Efforts made in community service are promotive efforts, namely counseling KUTARO(Lingkungan Tanpa Rokok/Environment Without Cigarettes) with the aim to increase public awareness to care for health and the environment, further efforts are preventive efforts such as planting in-law's tongue which functions to bind free radicals originating from cigarette smoke in the air, and the demonstration of making mango pudding that has antioxidant content, where antioxidants can bind free radicals that enter the body so as not to damage organs and this activity is also beneficial to increase community efforts so that there is an increase in economic status.

Rheumatic disease in the elderly: Rheumatoid arthritis cases and non–rheumatoid arthritis controlsBackground: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects most people and the exact cause is unknown. Based on data from Bandar Lampung, RA ranks fourth in the profile of the top 10 diseases that have emerged since 2012. Although the cause is unknown, RA complications are very dangerous, ranging from joint deformities & disabilities, internal organ damage, to death.Purpose: To determine the factors associated with the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis in the elderlyMethod: Quantitative research with a case control design. The study population was all elderly patients at Pertamina Bintang Amin Hospital. The samples used were 47 cases and 47 controls. Multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression tests.Results: It shows that there is no relationship between economic status (p-value 0.062) and the incidence of RA at Pertamina Bintang Amin Hospital. There was a significant relationship between smoking (p-value 0.042; OR 2.86), diet (p-value 0.013; OR 3.61), occupational (p-value 0.000; OR 6.80), and obesity (p-value. 0.017; OR 3.25) with RA.Conclusion: The most dominant factor associated with the incidence of RA in the elderly is work (OR 7,8). Workers at high risk are advised to use personal protective equipment while working and provide time for fun outdoor physical activity so as to reduce stress and help the absorption of vitamin D in the body more optimally.Keywords: Elderly; Rheumatoid arthritis; Obesity; Smoking; Economic status; OccupationalPendahuluan: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) merupakan penyakit autoimun yang paling sering terjadi di masyarakat dan belum diketahui secara pasti penyebabnya. Berdasarkan Data Kota Bandar Lampung, RA berada diurutan keempat dalam profil 10 penyakit terbesar yang muncul sejak tahun 2012. Meski penyebabnya belum diketahui, komplikasi RA sangat berbahaya, mulai dari deformitas sendi & disabilitas, kerusakan organ-organ dalam, hingga kematian.Tujuan: Mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian rheumatoid arthritis pada lansia di poliklinik rawat jalan Rumah Sakit Pertamina Bintang Amin (RSPBA) Tahun 2019.Metode : Penelitian kuantitatif dengan rancangan kasus control (case control).

Accurate monitoring of motion and sleep states is critical for human health assessment, especially for a healthy life, early diagnosis of diseases, and medical care. In this work, a smart wearable sensor (SWS) based on a dual-channel triboelectric nanogenerator was presented for a real-time health monitoring system. The SWS can be worn on wrists, ankles, shoes, or other parts of the body and cloth, converting mechanical triggers into electrical output. By analyzing these signals, the SWS can precisely and constantly monitor and distinguish various motion states, including stepping, walking, running, and jumping. Based on the SWS, a fall-down alarm system and a sleep quality assessment system were constructed to provide personal healthcare monitoring and alert family members or doctors via communication devices. It is important for the healthy growth of the young and special patient groups, as well as for the health monitoring and medical care of the elderly and recovered patients. This work aimed to broaden the paths for remote biological movement status analysis and provide diversified perspectives for true-time and long-term health monitoring, simultaneously.

AbstractIn recent years have seen increasing percentage of the elderly in the overall population. This has driven the attention to the lifestyle factors that influence the health and quality of life of this social group, including their nutrition and physical activity. Universities of the Third Age (U3A) are a valuable platform for the dissemination and broadening of the knowledge related to these topics. The nutritional habits of 61 U3A students in Poznań were evaluated on the basis of a modified KomPAN questionnaire. Their nutritional status was determined using the body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) indices. Nearly half of the respondents were overweight and 16% had first degree obesity. The WHR index in women was on average 0.8, while in men it was 1.01. Only 13% of the students declared regular eating, with 60% consuming 4-5 meals a day. Women were found to eat snacks between meals more often than men. It was also found that the majority of the elderly do not add salt to ready meals or sweeten beverages with sugars. Taking into account the observed nutritional problems and the occurrence of improper eating habits of the elderly, it is recommended to continue the education on the prevention of common diet-related diseased.

Inflammation-related carcinogenesis has long been known as one of the carcinogenesis patterns in humans. Common carcinogenic factors are inflammation caused by infection with pathogens or the uptake of foreign substances from the environment into the body. Inflammation-related carcinogenesis as a cause for cancer-related death worldwide accounts for approximately 20%, and the incidence varies widely by continent, country, and even region of the country and can be affected by economic status or development. Many novel approaches are currently available concerning the development of animal models to elucidate inflammation-related carcinogenesis. By learning from the oldest to the latest animal models for each organ, we sought to uncover the essential common causes of inflammation-related carcinogenesis. This review confirmed that a common etiology of organ-specific animal models that mimic human inflammation-related carcinogenesis is prolonged exudation of inflammatory cells. Genotoxicity or epigenetic modifications by inflammatory cells resulted in gene mutations or altered gene expression, respectively. Inflammatory cytokines/growth factors released from inflammatory cells promote cell proliferation and repair tissue injury, and inflammation serves as a “carcinogenic niche”, because these fundamental biological events are common to all types of carcinogenesis, not just inflammation-related carcinogenesis. Since clinical strategies are needed to prevent carcinogenesis, we propose the therapeutic apheresis of inflammatory cells as a means of eliminating fundamental cause of inflammation-related carcinogenesis.
