Validation studies of questionnaires used to assess physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) in stroke survivors are scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire long-form (IPAQ-LF) in community living adults with post-stroke sequelae (≥6 months) and preserved ambulation. Participants’ functional mobility, lower limb strength, ambulatory level, stroke severity, and disability were assessed. An accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+) was worn for ≥7 consecutive days. Subsequently, the IPAQ-LF was interview-administered. Fifty-six participants (58.1 ± 11.1 years, 66.1% male) were included. A strong correlation between the two methods was found for total PA time (ρ = 0.55, p < 0.001). According to the Bland-Altman analyses, over-reporting moderate-to-vigorous PA and under-reporting total PA in the IPAQ-LF were found in those participants with higher PA levels. Both methods measured sedentary time similarly, though random error was observed between them. Moderate-strong correlations were found between the IPAQ-LF and physical function (ρ = 0.29–0.60, p < 0.05). In conclusion, in people with chronic stroke, the IPAQ-LF presented acceptable levels of validity for estimating total PA time in those who are insufficiently active. Therefore, it could be a useful tool to screen for inactive individuals with chronic stroke who can benefit from PA interventions addressed to implement healthier lifestyles.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in a variety of sectors, including education. Changes in online learning methods during the COVID-19 pandemic can increase the risk of sedentary behavior in students. Sedentary behavior is one of the factors related to constipation. This study aims to determine the relationship between sedentary behavior and the incidence of constipation during the COVID-19 pandemic in students at Universitas Brawijaya. This research is correlation research with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling used total sampling with a sample of 87 students according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sedentary behavior was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the incidence of constipation was measured using the Constipation Scoring System (CSS). The correlation between sedentary behavior and the incidence of constipation was statistically analyzed using the Spearman Rank test with alpha=0.05. The results show that As many as 82.8% of students at Universitas Brawijaya have sedentary behavior and 17.2% are constipated. There was a correlation between sedentary behavior and the incidence of constipation (p=0.020; r=+0,249). In conclusion, there is a relationship between sedentary behavior and the incidence of constipation during the COVID-19 pandemic in students at Universitas Brawijaya.

Background : Inadequate of vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, and calcium intake and a lower body mass index can lead to Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in vegetarian woman. The objective of this study was to determine the association between micronutrients intake, nutritional status and PMS among vegetarian women.Objectives : The objective of this study was to determine the association between micronutrients intake, nutritional status and PMS among vegetarian women.Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted to 44 vegetarians women.Subjects of this study were collected consecutively. Dietary intake were measured by Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ). Score of PMS were measured by Shortened Premenstrual Assessment Form (sPAF).Physical activity were measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Score of stress level were measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (PSS-10). Data were analyzed by Chi Square test and ratio prevalence to determine the risk factor.Results : There were 54.55% of subject have a moderate PMS level. There were a correlation between vitamin B6 and PMS (p=0.019;RP=2.96;95%CI=0.9-10), magnesium and PMS (p=0.033;RP=3.8;95%CI=0.6-23), zinc and PMS (p=0.002;RP=6.17;95%CI=0.9-39), physical activity and PMS (p=0.033;RP=3.79;95%CI=0.6-23), stress level and PMS(p=0.045;RP=0.39;95%CI=0.1-1.3). There were no correlation between calcium intake and PMS (p=0.211;RP=1.816;95%;CI=0.569-5.794), BMI and PMS (p=0.355;RP=0.753;95 %; CI=1.443).Conclusion : Intake of vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc, physical activity and stress level were correlated to PMS. Calcium intake and BMI were not correlated to PMS.

Purpose:This study explored definitions of sedentary behavior and examined the relationship between sitting time and physical inactivity using the sitting items from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).Methods:Participants (N = 289, 44.6% male, mean age = 35.93) from 3 countries completed self-administered long- and short-IPAQ sitting items. Participants wore accelero-meters; were classified as inactive (no leisure-time activity), insufficiently active, or meeting recommendations; and were classified into tertiles of sitting behavior.Results:Reliability of sitting time was acceptable for men and women. Correlations between total sitting and accelerometer counts/min <100 were significant for both long (r = .33) and short (r = .34) forms. There was no agreement between tertiles of sitting and the inactivity category (kappa = .02, P = .68).Conclusion:Sedentary behavior should be explicitly measured in population surveillance and research instead of being defined by lack of physical activity.

Peningkatan asam urat darah menjadi tanda perubahan fungsi metabolic dan hemodinamik. Faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan produksi asam urat adalah konsumsi makanan yang banyak mengandung purin dan asam urat, obesitas, penggunaan obat, aktivitas fisik dan penyakit tertentu dalam darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan aktivitas fisik dengan kadar asam urat. Jenis penelitian adalah analisis deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah subjek pada penelitian ini adalah 71 orang dewasa laki-laki dan perempuan dengan rentang usia 25-45 tahun. Sampel dipilih dengan metode convenience sampling. Data meliputi karakteristik responden, aktivitas fisik tujuh hari terakhir, dan kadar asam urat. Aktivitas fisik diperoleh melalui pengisian international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). Pemeriksaan kadar asam urat menggunakan alat ukur digital (Autocheck) dan strip asam urat. Data dianalisis menggunakan Chi-Square Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara aktivitas fisik dengan kadar asam urat (p>.05). Kadar asam urat sebagian besar responden termasuk dalam kategori normal dan aktivitas fisik sebagian responden tinggi. Menjaga keseimbangan antara kadar asam urat melalui makanan yang dikonsumsi dengan aktivitas fisik yang dilakukan. Saran yang dapat diberikan kepada peneliti berikutnya ialah penggunaan metode purposive sampling, melakukan perhitungan calon sampel secara menyeluruh, serta mempertimbangkan variabel lain seperti pola makan,  tekanan darah, status gizi, indeks massa tubuh.

Latar Belakang : Menari termasuk dalam kategori aktivitas fisik yang berat. Penari cenderung membatasi asupan makan untuk mencapai bentuk tubuh yang ramping. Kurangnya asupan zat gizi disertai aktivitas fisik yang berat dalam jangka waktu tertentu mengakibatkan gangguan siklus menstruasi. Tujuan : Mengetahui hubungan asupan zat gizi, aktivitas fisik, persentase lemak tubuh dengan gangguan siklus menstruasi pada penari.Metode : Desain penelitian cross sectional dengan 62 penari dipilih secara simple ramdom sampling. Asupan zat gizi diperoleh melalui Food Frequency Questionaire (FFQ) dan dianalisis menggunakan program Nutrisurvey. Aktivitas fisik diukur menggunakan International Physical Activity Questionnaire Adolescent (IPAQ). Persentase lemak tubuh diukur menggunakan Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Gangguan siklus menstruasi diperoleh melalui kuesioner. Analisis bivariat menggunakan uji Chi Square.Hasil : Sebanyak 51,6% penari mengalami gangguan siklus menstruasi. Asupan energi pada 46,8% penari tergolong defisit tingkat sedang. Asupan protein (32,3%) dan asupan karbohidrat (51,6%) tergolong defisit tingkat ringan. Asupan lemak 37,1% penari tergolong defisit tingkat berat. Sebagian besar penari memiliki aktivitas fisik yang berat (91,9%) dan persentase lemak tubuh yang normal (87,1%). Terdapat hubungan antara asupan energi, karbohidrat, lemak dan aktivitas fisik dengan gangguan siklus menstruasi (p<0,05). Tidak ada hubungan antara asupan protein dan persentase lemak tubuh dengan gangguan siklus menstruasi (p>0,05).Simpulan : Asupan energi, karbohidrat, lemak, dan aktivitas fisik berhubungan dengan gangguan siklus menstruasi.
