Abstract

Hypertension is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its prevalence increases with age. Hypertension is a chronic condition characterised by increased arterial blood pressure. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension ranges from 45.9% in people aged 55-64 years to 63.8% in people aged 75 years and over. Hypertension is known as the "silent killer" because it often appears without symptoms and requires early detection to prevent complications such as heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method for continuous improvement in the health examination process, including blood pressure measurement. 61 participants (14 men and 47 women) participated in this activity at the Hana Nursing Home in South Tangerang. A physical examination revealed that 11 people (18.03%) had hypertension. Regular monitoring is essential to identify high-risk individuals early, allowing them to take preventive measures and manage their blood pressure effectively. This approach can significantly reduce the risk of serious complications and improve the quality of life for seniors.

Abstract

Hemoglobin and hematocrit are important parameters in assessing anemia and other blood diseases. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, while hematocrit reflects the density of red blood cells in the blood. This community service activity was carried out at Kalam Kudus II High School, Duri Kosambi Village, Jakarta, involving 68 men and women of productive age. Screening activities are carried out by measuring hemoglobin and hematocrit levels using the For-A brand Point Of Care Testing (POCT) tool. The majority of respondents had normal hemoglobin levels (68.9%), while a small percentage experienced mild anemia (21.6%) and moderate anemia (9.5%). The average hemoglobin level was 13.28 g/dL and hematocrit 38.66%. The 18-35 year age group has the highest hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, while the 51-64 year age group has the lowest. Lifestyle factors, nutrition, genetics, and chronic medical conditions influence hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Regular monitoring is important in detecting and managing anemia and improving public health.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Uterine inertia could cause complications in labor. Knowing the risk factors for uterine inertia is important to since the Maternal Death Rate in Indonesia is relatively high. This study was aimed to determine whether maternal age, gestation, and parturition could be predictors of uterine inertia.  This is a cross-sectional study. Data collection was done at “C” General Hospital, West Java, with all pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy in January to December 2019 as samples. The statistical analysis used in this study are Independent T-test, Mann Whitney, ROC Curve test, and Pearson Chi-Square with Yates Correction to see statistical associations. Significant correlation was found between the variables of age ≤ 30 years, gestation ≤ 2 pregnancies, and parturition ≤ 2 births with uterine inertia (PR = 1.331; 1.332; 1.315 times, p-value = 0.001).  Uterine inertia is affected by risk factors of age ≤ 30 years, gestation ≤ 2 pregnancies, and parturition ≤ 2 births. The results can be used to help health workers in predicting the incidence of uterine inertia so that adequate responses can be provided. Keywords: Gestation, Maternal Age, Parturition, Predictor, Uterine Inertia

Abstract

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that the global population aged over 60 years will increase from 900 million in 2015 to 2 billion in 2050. This demographic is particularly vulnerable to disease and disability, with declining haemoglobin levels long considered a consequence of aging. Nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, kidney disease, haematological malignancies, and anemia of unknown cause can all contribute to anemia in the elderly. This significantly impacts physical performance, cognitive function, and overall health. We carried out this activity at St. Francis Assisi, Jakarta, with 36 participants. We perform a physical examination and a complete blood count, including haemoglobin and hematocrit levels, to detect nemia. Among the 36 participants, 18 people (50%) had mild anaemia, 6 people (16.7%) had moderate anaemia, and 1 person (2.8%) had very severe anaemia. Anaemia in the elderly can cause severe health consequences, including physical and cognitive decline, increased hospitalisations, and death. Routine screening for haemoglobin and hematocrit levels is essential for early detection and intervention, improving quality of life and health outcomes for older adults.
