Abstract Background: Since petrol is combustible and smoking is banned at the petrol pumps, it may be predicted that use of smokeless tobacco is more prevalent among the petrol fillers. Also, smokeless tobacco is a major risk factor for developing oral potentially malignant disorders. The present study was conducted to determine the tobacco use, body mass index (BMI), and potentially malignant disorders among a cohort of petrol fillers and also to evaluate the interaction of tobacco use and BMI with the presence of potentially malignant disorders. Settings and Design: The study was conducted at 45 petrol stations located at Pimpri-Pune, India. A descriptive study design was used. Materials and Method: Four hundred and ten petrol fillers aged 17-64 years participated in the study. General information and tobacco history was obtained by interview. Height and weight were recorded to obtain BMI. Oral examination was conducted to identify the potentially malignant disorders. Statistical analysis: Chi-square test, Z test, and logistic regression were used. The level of significance was fixed at 5%. Results and Conclusions: It was found that 242 (59.02%) used tobacco in different forms. 77.68% were tobacco chewers, and 8.26% were smokers. Leukoplakia was prevalent among 68.47%, oral submucous fibrosis among 27.45%, and 5.08% had erythroplakia. Age (χ2 = 11.46, P < 0.05), duration (χ2 = 17.46, P < 0.05), and frequency of tobacco chewing (χ2 = 14.16, P < 0.05) were significantly associated with potentially malignant disorders. Tobacco chewing was more prevalent as compared to smoking. It can be concluded that the petrol fillers are at a high risk for developing oral potentially malignant disorders.

Abstract: Increased uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) play a role in the level of morbidity in several diseases. The prevalence of hyperuricemia in Manado and Minahasa is high compared to other regions in Indonesia. Hyperuricemia can occur at a young age. The purpose of this study is to determine the blood levels of uric acid at students Faculty of Medicine year 2011, Sam Ratulangi University with body mass index of 18,5-22,9 kg/m2. This is a descriptive study with purposive sampling as the sampling method. There were 31 respondents that participated in this study. From 31 respondents, 30 respondents (96,8%) had normal blood uric acid levels and only one (3,2%) had high level of blood uric acid (hyperuricemia). Conclusion: majority (96,8%) of students Faculty of Medicine year 2011, Sam Ratulangi University with body mass index of 18,5-22,9 kg/m2 has normal blood uric acid levels. Key words: BMI 18,5-22,9 kg/m2, Hyperuricemia, Uric Acid.     Abstrak: Kadar asamurat yang meningkat (hiperurisemia) berperan dalam tingkat morbiditas pada beberapa penyakit. Prevalensi hiperurisemia di Manado dan Minahasa termasuk tinggi dibandingkan daerah lain di Indonesia. Hiperurisemia dapat terjadi pada usia muda. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kadar asam urat darah pada mahasiswa angkatan 2011 Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi dengan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) 18,5-22,9 kg/m2. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Penelitian ini diikuti oleh 31 responden. Dari 31 responden ditemukan jumlah responden yang memiliki kadar asam urat normal sebanyak 30 responden (96,8%) dan hiperurisemia sebanyak satu responden (3,2%). Simpulan: sebagian besar (96,8%) responden mahasiswa angkatan 2011 Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi dengan indeks massa tubuh 18,5-22,9 kg/m2 mempunyai kadar asam urat darah dalam batas yang normal. Kata Kunci: AsamUrat, Hiperurisemia, IMT 18,5-22,9 kg/m2
