Nowadays, obesity has become a serious problem worldwide. Obesity can cause the emergence of various kinds of diseases; one of them is hyperuricemia. This condition could found in obese adults as well as in obese adolescence. This study was aimed to obtain the serum uric acid level profile among high school students with overweight and obesity. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Subjects were students of Gen Panteleon High School with body mass index (BMI) >85. There were 23 students involved in this study. The results showed that 60.87% of subjects had hyperuricemia. Most adolescence with obesity tend to have a uric acid levels above the normal value.

Abstract: Advances in technological development have led to increased use of smartphones. To date, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) of the upper extremities is increasing and according to previous studies one of the MSD causes is the continued use of smart phones by high school students. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of MSD of the upper extremities experienced in the last 7 days and to evaluate the relationship between MSD complaints and smartphone usage among adolescent high school students. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The instruments in this study were demographic questionnaire, smartphone usage, and modified Nordic Body Map Questionaire. Data were analyzed by using the Spearman Rho correlation test. There were 170 respondents (N = 170) involved in this study. Most of the MSD complaints were in the neck (n = 73; 42.9%), followed by in the shoulder (n = 61; 35.9%), and finger (n = 49; 28.8%). Most of the pain was categorized as mild pain. The Spearman Rho test showed significant correlations, as follows: between MSD in the neck and gaming as well as chat frequency (p=0.040); between MSD in the upper arm and one sesion gaming duration (p=0.005); and between MSD in the fingers and gaming duration in one sesion (p=0.007) and in a day (p=0.042). In conclusion, among adolescent high school students, frequency as well as duration of smartphone usage could influence the occurrence of MSD in the upper extremities.Keywords: musculoskeletal disorder, smartphone, duration of usage, frequency of usage, gaming Asbtrak: Kemajuan perkembangan teknologi menyebabkan peningkatan penggunaan telepon cerdas. Prevalensi musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) dari ekstremitas atas meningkat dan menurut penelitian salah satu penyebabnya ialah akibat penggunaan berkelanjutan dari telepon cerdas oleh remaja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi MSD pada ekstremitas atas yang dialami dalam 7 hari terakhir dan mengevaluasi hubungan antara keluhan MSD dengan penggunaan smartphone pada remaja pelajar SMA. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner demografi, smartphone, dan modifikasi dari Nordic Body Map Questionnaire. Analisis statistik menggunakan tes korelasi Spearman Rho. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 170 responden (N=170). Keluhan MSD paling sering dirasakan pada leher (n=73; 42,9%), bahu (n=61; 35,9%), dan jari tangan (n=49; 28,8%). Karakteristik keparahan nyeri yang dirasakan sebagian besar merupakan nyeri ringan. Uji korelasi Spearman Rho mendapatkan korelasi bermakna antara: keluhan MSD pada leher yang dialami dalam 7 hari terakhir dengan frekuensi gaming dan frekuensi chatting (p=0,040); keluhan MSD pada lengan atas dengan durasi gaming satu sesi (p=0,005); dan keluhan MSD pada jari tangan dengan durasi gaming dalam satu sesi (p=0,007) dan dalam sehari (p=0,042). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah frekuensi dan durasi penggunaan telepon cerdas berpengaruh terhadap timbulnya keluhan MSD ekstremitas atas pada remaja pelajar SMA.Kata kunci: musculoskeletal disorder, telepon cerdas, durasi, frekuensi, gaming

Abstract: Diseases caused by high uric acid levels are still commonly found in societies world wide. There is a correlation between uric acid level and increased body mass index (BMI). Higher body mass index in this case overweight and obesity is associated with higher risk of insulin resistance and excessive leptin production which may contribute to hyperuricemia. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of serum uric acid level among students with a BMI of ≥23 kg/m2 at Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using total sampling method. There were 53 respondents that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that there were 48 respondents (90.6%) whose serum uric acid levels were within normal limits, one respondent (1.9%) with hyperuricemia, and four respondents (7.5%) with hypouricemia. Conclusion: The majority of respondents had uric acid level within normal limit.Keywords: serum uric acid, body mass index, students Abstrak: Penyakit yang disebabkan akibat tingginya kadar asam urat masih banyak diderita oleh masyarakat dunia sekarang ini. Terdapat hubungan antara kadar asam urat dengan peningkatan indeks massa tubuh (IMT). Semakin tinggi indeks massa tubuh dalam hal ini overweight dan obesitas berhubungan dengan semakin tinggi juga risiko terjadinya resistensi insulin dan produksi leptin yang berlebih sehingga keadaan ini dapat berkontribusi menimbulkan hiperurisemia. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar asam urat serum pada mahasiswa dengan IMT ≥23 kg/m2 di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Terdapat 53 responden yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan 48 responden (90,6%) memiliki kadar asam urat serum dalam batas normal, satu responden (1,9%) dengan hiperurisemia, dan empat responden (7,5%) dengan hipourisemia. Simpulan: Sebagian besar responden memiliki kadar asam urat serum dalam batas normal.Kata kunci: asam urat serum, indeks massa tubuh, mahasiswa

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Government High Schools (8-10th standards) with a sample size of 100. Required number of students from each class was selected using systematic random sampling. Results: The overweight students were mainly boys and the underweight students were mainly girls. Nutritional value of the majority of students was poor due to consumption of junk foods, lack of exercise, outdoor activities, inadequate intake of food and imbalanced diet. Conclusion: In the present study, majority of high school students in 8th, 9th, and 10th standards were underweight, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity were less.

IntroductionOnce the enormity of online games took over the attention of many teens and children so that it brought a big change. Aggressive behavior among adolescents especially high school students from year to year is increasing both in number and forms of aggressive behavior that is raised.ObjectivesThis study aims to determine the relationship between playing online games and aggressive behavior of high school students in Jayapura.MethodsThe research method used was analytical research using cross sectional design. Study the relationship between two variables in a situation or group of objects using a simple linear regression statistical test.ResultThe correlation effect of Length Playing Game Online with aggressively behavior of students in High School logistic test results obtained meaningful results where the value of p = 0, 00 <0.05. This means that there is an influence or relationship between the lengths of playing online games with the aggressive behavior of high school students. These results indicate that there is a positive relationship between the lengths of playing online games with the aggressive behavior of adolescents. This means that the old variable playing online games can be used as a trigger to predict the emergence of aggressive teenage behavior. The higher the length of playing online games, the higher the aggressive behavior of teenagers, conversely the lower the longer playing online games, the lower the aggressive behavior of teenagers.
