Blood pressure is the pressure contained in the blood vessels that occurs when the heart pumps blood throughout the body. If the blood pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg it is under normal conditions. Hypertension occurs when the systolic / diastolic blood pressure exceeds 140/90 mmHg. The causes of hypertension are divided into two groups, namely: a) Essential Primary Hypertension is hypertension which has several possible causes; b) Secondary hypertension is hypertension caused by disturbances in blood vessels or certain organs, such as the kidneys, adrenal glands, and aorta.

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) utilized in the Food Retail: Evaluating Strategies for a Healthy Austin (FRESH Austin) study, designed to evaluate changes in the consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) in diverse low-income communities in Austin, TX. Design: The FRESH Austin FFQ was validated against three 24-hour dietary recalls (24hDRs). All dietary assessments were administered (in-person or by telephone) by trained investigators. Setting: Recruitment was conducted at sites within the geographic areas targeted in the FRESH Austin recruitment. People at a community health clinic, a local health center, and a YMCA within the intervention area were approached by trained and certified data collectors, and invited to participate. Participants: Among n=56 participants, 83% were female, 46% were non-White, 24% had income < $25K/year, and 30% spoke only/mostly Spanish at home. Results: The FFQ and average of three 24hDRs produce similar estimates of average total servings per day across FV (6.68 and 6.40 servings per day, respectively.) Correlations produced measures from 0.01 for “Potatoes” and 0.59 for “Other Vegetables”. Mean Absolute Percentage Errors (MAPE) values were small for all FV, suggesting the variance of the error estimates were also small. Bland-Altman plots indicate acceptable levels of agreement between the two methods. Conclusion: These outcomes indicate that the FRESH FFQ is a valid instrument for assessing FV consumption. The validation of the FRESH Austin FFQ provides important insights for evaluating community-based efforts to increase FV consumption in diverse populations.

Healthcare facilities in modern age are key challenge especially in developing countries where remote areas face lack of high-quality hospitals and medical experts. As artificial intelligence has revolutionized various fields of life, health has also benefited from it. The existing architecture of store-and-forward method of conventional telemedicine is facing some problems, some of which are the need for a local health center with dedicated staff, need for medical equipment to prepare patient reports, time constraint of 24–48 hours in receiving diagnosis and medication details from a medical expert in a main hospital, cost of local health centers, and need for Wi-Fi connection. In this paper, we introduce a novel and intelligent healthcare system that is based on modern technologies like Internet of things (IoT) and machine learning. This system is intelligent enough to sense and process a patient’s data through a medical decision support system. This system is low-cost solution for the people of remote areas; they can use it to find out whether they are suffering from a serious health issue and cure it accordingly by contacting near hospitals. The results of the experiments also show that the proposed system is efficient and intelligent enough to provide health facilities. The results presented in this paper are the proof of the concept.

This poor static balance creates the risk of falling which causes many problems and even death for the elderly. Aims of this study to determine the correlation between changes in kyphosis posture and static balance disorders in the elderly at the Posyandu (Integrated Healthcare Center) of Semaka area. Methods: This research was a descriptive correlation and cross-sectional approach. As for the number of respondent in this study were 60 erderly. Results: The results of the Kendall tau test obtained the value of 0.000 with a significant value of 0.389. This showed that the p value was <0.05, this Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. This meant that there was a correlation between posture changes and static balance disorders in the elderly. Conclusion: There is a correlation between posture changes and the static balance in the elderly at the Posyandu of Semaka area. For health workers in the local health center area to carry out regular counseling on the risk of falling falls by correcting balance disorders in the ederly in order to preventive measures.

Abstract The environment of health care workers (HCWs) is considered as one of the most hazardous settings due to the nature of their work. In the Philippines, this continues to be overlooked in terms of programs and services on occupational health and safety (OHS). One possible reason for this is the existing information gap on OHS which limits data comparability and effective monitoring and assessment of interventions. This study assessed the OHS system in 13 barangay health centers in a selected city using the 6 building blocks of a health system framework. Assessment was done through walk-through surveys, documents review, and key informant interview. Qualitative data from the interview were coded using NVivo while quantitative data were summarized using EpiInfo. Results showed that there remains to be gaps in terms of improving occupational health and safety in local health centers. In terms of leadership and governance, a general policy on OHS for all local health centers was found to be lacking and in effect, an absence of health and safety committees. In terms of financing, the lack of a separate budget specific for OHS programs and services was also found to be a limitation. As a result, there was no OHS personnel identified and only one staff had valid training on OHS among all 13 health centers. There was also no established information system for OHS in place. Only 2 out of 13 health centers have Safety Inspection Reports while only three have Workplace Environment Monitoring Report. Based on the results of the study, there is a general need for improvement in terms of the occupational health and safety system in the city where the health centers were situated. Among all the elements of the occupational health and safety system, the lack of an overarching policy on OHS resulted in the absence of health and safety committees, inadequate budget and worker specific services for OHS, lack of related trainings and workshops, and poor information and reporting system. Key messages Data on conditions of OHS systems in the local health center setting are limited, thus the study provides information on areas of improvement for health systems strengthening. There is a need for policies on OHS in the local health center setting to strengthen the system for improved service delivery, information management and financing for OHS.

The study was conducted in Puskesmas Harapan Raya Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia. The population was all children (4000), sampel was 187 children by systematic random sampling. Research was to analyze independents variable (risk of stunting) to the dependent’s variable (mother’s age, Prity, Mother Parity, Mother’s Height, (Lila) / MUAC (Mid Upper Arm Circumference), Maternal Characteristics (hemoglobin), Tension Mother’s, ANC Visit, Dietary habit, Mother’s child care, Completed immunization, Weight child and Drink for child.) Research results is maternal hemoglobin ​​in pregnancy with a risk category of having a stunting 53.4%, exlusive breastfeeding with a risk category of having a stunting 54.1%, dietary habit  with a risk category of having a stunting 51.3%. Independents variable (Maternal Characteristics (hemoglobin), Exclusive Breastfeeding, Dietary Habis), is a significant association to stunting. The findings from this study will be helpful for programmatic intervention to reduce the stunting.
