Abstract

Background Blood pressure (BP) in children and adolescentsdepends on multiple factors, both genetic and environmental suchas gender, age, body weight and height, obesity, life style,socioeconomic status, etc. Surveillance of families in Medan(2000) reported that the socioeconomic status in the outer citywas lower than in the inner city; other factors that influence BPof adolescents may also be different.Objective To compare the prevalence of hypertension betweensenior high school students in the inner and outer city of Medan.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted on 250 studentsselected randomly from four senior high schools in Medan, each2 schools from inner and outer city. This study was done betweenJune and August 2003. BP measurement was done in the morningat 08.00 – 12.00 o’clock before the subjects got exercises. BPmeasurements were done three times according to Task Force onBlood Pressure 1996 recommendation. The average of systolicand diastolic was considered as BP of the subjects.Results Systolic and diastolic BPs of the female students in theouter city (115.3/80.0 mmHg) were higher than those of thefemale students in the inner city (111.2/71.8 mmHg) and thedifference was statistically significant (P=0.008 and P=0.014),but not for the male students. The prevalence of hypertension inthe inner and outer city of Medan was 6.0% and 8.4%, respectively.Conclusions The prevalence of hypertension in the outer city wasabit higher than that in the inner city. The averages of systolicand diastolic BPs of female students in the outer city were higherthan those of the female students in the inner city of Medan.

Abstract

Background High blood pressure remains a public healthproblem. High blood pressure in children and adolescent is amajor risk for cardiovascular disease in adulthood which cancause high morbidity and mortality. Listening to the classicalmusic can be used as an alternative in reducing high bloodpressure.Objective To investigate the effect of classical music in reducingblood pressure in children with high normal blood pressure andor hypertension.Methods Eighty eight students of Sidorame Senior High SchoolMedan with blood pressure 2: 120/80 mmHg or blood pressure2: 90 percentile Task Force were included in this study. TheVivaldi's Four Seasons was played for 30 minutes using Sony stereocassette recorder and earphone. The students' blood pressure weremeasured after listening to the music.Results The reduction of students' blood pressure in the classicalmusic group was greater than control group (L'ISBP, L'IDBP9.4lmmHg, 6.05mmHg versus 4.37mmHg, 2.23mmHg) andshowed statistically difference.Conclusion Listening to the classical music can reduce bloodpressure in children with high blood pressure.

Abstract

Background Measurement of blood pressure is the most impor-tant tool for early detection of hypertension. There is an assump-tion that salt consumption of the population living at the seashoreis higher than that of those living on the hill area, and it would leadto higher blood pressure.Objective To find out whether there is any difference of bloodpressure between school-age children (6-13 years) living on thehill area (Brastagi subdistrict) and those living at the seashore area(Pantai Cermin sub district), North Sumatra.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in Brastagi andPantai Cermin from September to October 1995. The subjects weretaken by a simple random sampling method. The blood pressurewas measured based on recommendation of The Second TaskForce on Blood Pressure Control in Children 1987.Results The means systolic pressure in boys of 6 years of age aswell as in girls of 6,8,12 and 13 years, and the means of diastolicpressure in girls of 6,7,8,11 years were higher in Pantai Cermin(p<0.05). Blood pressure had significant positive correlations(p<0.001) with age, weight and height in both areas. Overall, hy-pertension was found in 117 (11%) out of 1065 children, 11.6%among girls and 10.6% among boys. On the hill and at seashorearea, hypertension was found in 10.2% and 11.8% of children re-spectively, which was not statistically different (p>0.05).Conclusion In children, there was no significant difference be-tween the prevalence of hypertension on hill and seashore area

Abstract

Objective This study was done to compare the dental and oralhygiene status of children with and without congenital heart dis-ease (CHD) by investigating oral microorganisms and dental andoral hygiene indices.Methods A cross-sectional study was done on children aged 2 to15 years from April 2002 to December 2003 at the Department ofChild Health, Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan. There were twosubject groups, the first consisting of children with CHD and thesecond of those without. The dental and oral hygiene status wasdetermined by determining caries index and oral hygiene index.Swabs from the subjects’ upper first molars were taken and cul-tured to determine the types of microorganisms present. Data wereanalyzed using the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and t-test.Results There was a significant difference in mean oral hygieneindex between children with (mean 2.75; SD 1.85) and without(mean 1.45; SD 0.78) CHD (P<0.001). Positive bacterial cultureswere more frequent in children with CHD than in those without.The proportion of normal anaerobes was significantly higher in chil-dren with CHD (P=0.038). Such a significant difference was notfound for normal aerobes, pathogenic aerobes, and pathogenicanaerobes. In children with CHD, there was no significant asso-ciation between mean caries index and oral hygiene index withculture results. In those without CHD, a significant association wasfound between the caries index components of decayed tooth in-dex (P=0.003) and DMF-T (P=0.022) with culture results.Conclusions Oral-dental hygiene in children with CHD is poorrelative to that in children without CHD. Microorganism growth ap-pears more likely in children with CHD than in those without

Abstract

A cross sectional study was done on nutritional status of underfives at Balimbingan PTP VIII Simalungun residence of North Sumatra in 1992. The sample consisted of randomly selected 237 children, most of them were between 1-3 years age. Data were collected by using a questionnaire, physical examination, and anthro­pometric measurement. Using weight for age parameter, the percentages of children with good to moderately nourished, mildly malnourished, and severely malnourished were 69.6%, 23.7%, and 6.7%, respectively. Using height for age parameter, the per­centages were 68.8%, 21.1%, and 10.1%, respectively. About half of the babies were breast-fed after 24 hours and 32,5% was breastfed at the age of 1-12 hours. There were 132 (78.1%) babies who got milk formula at the age of less than 4 months; of which 63.9% were given very diluted formula. Most babies (68%) were already given solid food at the age of less than 4 months. The relationship between number of chil­dren with nutritional status of underfives was statistically significant (p<0.05), however there was no relationship between nutritional status with parents' education, formula feeding, and time at which solid food was given.
