Aims: Majority of slum people are living in poor quality housing where the absence of basic amenities is a significant issue. The primary aim of the study was to determine the present status of sanitation and waste disposal patterns of the selected slum areas of Sylhet City Corporation (SCC). Study Design: Both descriptive and analytical methods were applied to reach the final outcome. Methodology: To conduct the study, 355 samples were collected from five different wards through a constructive questionnaire survey. Key Information Interview (KII), field observation, and focus group discussion (FGD) were also used to collect data. Results: While the slum people are always struggling to ensure their basic needs, they don’t give emphasis on the sanitary, hygiene, health condition, etc. About 80.4% of slum dwellers defecate in an unhygienic place which may cause various diseases and lead to water pollution by pathogenic microbes. Only 54.9% of people dispose of their waste in a proper way and the others are accountable for environmental pollution by disposing of waste here and there. This study also reveals the socioeconomic condition, health issues, and other water-related challenges of the slum dwellers. Conclusion: Due to lack of education and knowledge about health and hygiene, unwillingness, poverty, etc. are the possible reasons behind the deterioration of the situation of slum inhabitants. Thus, several remedial measures need to be taken for the improvement of sanitation and waste disposal system.

Polifarmasi sebagai salah satu faktor risiko sindrom frailty dapat berkaitan dengan obat Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) yang sering diberikan pada usila atas indikasi adanya keluhan gangguan saluran cerna bagian atas. Sampai saat ini belum ada penelitian yang mempelajari hubungan PPI jangka panjang dan sindrom frailty pada usila.Metode. Studi kasus kontrol pada pasien usila di Rumah Sakit dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM), Jakarta. Kelompok kasus adalah usila terdiagnosis Frailty menurut FI-40 item dan kontrol adalah usila yang tidak frail berdasarkan instrumen yang sama. Data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini berasal dari data sekunder status frailty berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya dan data rekam medis poliklinik Geriatri dan poliklinik diabetes RSCM.Hasil. Didapatkan 225 subjek (75 kasus: 150 kontrol), 59,6% berjenis kelamin perempuan (rerata usia 72,14 tahun; simpang baku ± 6,4 tathun) dan 47,1% berpendidikan tinggi. Subjek yang berpendidikan rendah, berstatus cerai mati, berstatus nutrisi lebih buruk, tidak mandiri, memerlukan caregiver, hidup tidak berkecukupan dan kondisi kesehatan yang lebih buruk lebih banyak didapatkan pada kelompok frail dibandingkan kelompok yang tidak frail. Proporsi pengguna PPI Jangka Panjang sebesar 40,9%. Penggunaan PPI jangka panjang meningkatkan risiko sindrom frailty (Crude OR 2,15; IK 95% 1,22- 3,78; p<0,007) dengan adjusted OR 1,83 (IK 1,0-3,36) terhadap variabel nutrisi dan merokok.Simpulan. Penggunaan PPI jangka panjang (≥ 6 bulan) secara independen meningkatkan salah satu risiko sindrom frailty pada usila.Kata Kunci: frailty, geriatri, proton pump inhibitor jangka panjang, usia lanjutThe Effect of Long-Term Proton Pump Inhibitor Use on Frailty Syndrome in Elderly PatientsIntroduction. Frailty syndrome, the newest elderly health predictor, associated with higher morbidity and mortality. PPI are often used in elderly due to presence of upper gastrointestinal complaints, and relates with polypharmacy as one of the risk factor for frailty syndrome. There is no study of the relationship between long term PPI use and frailty syndrome in elderly.Methods. A case control study included subjects 60 years and above with good cognitive status. All subjects with history of hypersensitivity of PPI were excluded. Elderly who were frail based on FI-40 item were defined as cases, while individuals that were not frail were classified as control. Primary data (included frailty status) was collected on March-June 2013 by Seto E and Sumantri S, et al. Secondary data used in this current study were gathered from the primary data of previous research and from the medical record taken from geriatric and diabetic outpatient clinics Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.Results. There were 225 subjects collected (75 cases: 150 controls), 59,6% were female (mean age 72,14 years old, SD ± 6,4 years) and 47,1% with higher education. Lower education, divorced, poor nutrition, dependent, needed caregiver, economically insufficient, more comorbidity and poor health condition were seen in frail group. The proportion of long term PPI use were 40,9%. Long term PPI medication increased the risk of frailty syndrome (Crude OR 2,154; CI 95% 1,225-3,778; p<0,007) with adjusted OR 1,83 (CI 95% 1,02-3,37) after adjusting with nutrition and smoking variables.Conclusions. Long term use of PPI significantly increase the risk of frailty syndrome compared to the non-users.

Poverty is an inability to meet basic needs measured by expenditure, including rice consumption. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), as much as 95% of Indonesia's population consumes rice as the main food, with an average rice consumption of 102 kg/person/ year (BPS, 2013). Furthermore, BPS stated that almost 1/4 of them or around 25.95 million people were included in the category of the poor population as of March 2018. So the government made a policy to tackle the problem through the program of giving poor family rice (Raskin), namely subsidized rice assistance to households poor. However, in the implementation of the Raskin program, there was a deviation of around 40% of Indonesia's population with a middle-upper social-economic status receiving Raskin and 12.5% ​​of the population with a socio-economic status upon receiving Raskin. Therefore this study aims to analyze the significant factors that affect the status of rice in poor families using binary logistic regression analysis. The location of the study was conducted in the District of West Langsa because the district was one of the districts receiving the most Raskin in the City of Langsa. The data used in this study are primary data and secondary data. The results of the analysis show that the factors that influence Raskin's acceptance status are the level of education, type of floor, type of fuel, expenditure for food, and frequency of purchasing new clothes. The binary logistic regression model obtained is

Smoking tobacco suited the financial strength of the emerging industries workers and agricultural labourers. In this study made an attempt to study the health and socioeconomic aspects of the tobacco workers, to find out the nature of work conditions of the tobacco workers, to study the awareness of tobacco workers with regard to family problems and to find out their participation in religious gathering. This study found that tobacco workers were lives in most of the rural areas of Malawi through secondary data pertained from the Government and Non Government sources. Population method was adopted to collect the information from the tobacco workers in the study area. This study found that Tobacco is not only injurious to health of the smokers and also to the makers of the Tobacco (Tobacco workers) too.
