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

Background In the last few years, the prevalence of obesity amongIndonesian children has been beginning to increase slowly, butstudies and publications about obesity are limited. In accordancewith the improvement of social economic and child health, obesitycan be seen more frequently as a problem in children.Objective To evaluate and compare the prevalence and relatedfactors of obesity among children 10-13 year-old who were stu-dents of two kinds of school, namely public and private elementaryschool.Methods A cross sectional study was done from October untilDecember 1995 on 276 elementary school students aged 10-13years consisting of 138 public and 138 private elementary schoolstudents. Data were collected by a questionnaire including anam-nesis of family history and type of daily diet, physical examination,and anthropometric measurement.Results The prevalence of obesity among children in the publicand private elementary schools was 9% and 20% respectively,which showed a significant difference (p<0.01). The prevalence ofobesity among children was significantly related to parentsâ€™ wel-fare, excessive daily calorie intake, level of physical activity, andobesity problem in the family.Conclusion The prevalence of obesity in students of private andpublic elementary schools was 20% and 9% respectively. Socialeconomic level, calorie intake, sport activities, and obesity prob-lems in the family are factors related to the prevalence of childobesity

Objective To assess and compare knowledge, attitude, and prac-tice of underfive children stimulation of working and nonworkingmothers and to determine the correlation between knowledge, at-titude, practice of stimulation and mothersâ€™ ages, educational level,number of children, and number of underfive children.Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in PT. IndofoodSukses Makmur, Tanjung Morawa, Medan from October 2002 un-til November 2002. Respondents were female workers havingunderfive children assigned as working mothers and wives of maleworkers (with similar inclusion criteria) assigned as nonworkingmothers. Selected respondents were interviewed using a struc-tured questionnaire. Sample size for each group was 58. Knowl-edge, attitude, and practice of stimulation were classified as good,less, and poor.Results There were 131 mothers interviewed. There were no sig-nificant differences in the ages, educational level, number of chil-dren, and number of underfive children. Good knowledge of stimu-lation of the working and nonworking mothers were 64.6% and97%, respectively; good attitude toward stimulation were 95.4%and 27.3%, respectively, while good practice of stimulation were58.5% and 22.7%, respectively. These differences were statisti-cally significant.Conclusion There were significant differences in knowledge, atti-tude, and practice of underfive children stimulation between work-ing and nonworking mothers. The knowledge of stimulation of theworking mothers was worse than that of the nonworking mothersand the attitude and practice of the working mothers were betterthan those of the nonworking mothers

Objective To compare the knowledge and attitude of working moth-ers (WM) and non-working mothers (NWM) concerning immuniza-tion in children.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted on February, 18-23, 2002 at PT. Olagafood Industri, a noodle manufacture in TanjungMorawa, Medan. Subjects were female workers and non-workingwives of male workers who had under-five-year children.

Degree of knowledge, attitude, and practice concerningimmunization were classified into good, insufficient, and bad.Results Mothersâ€™ age, educational level, and childrenâ€™s age werecomparable between the two groups. Ten WM and 8 NWM hadgood knowledge concerning immunization, which did not differ sig-nificantly (p>0.05). Good attitude toward immunization was foundin 25 WM and 12 NWM; it was a statistically significant difference(p<0.05). The practice of immunization showed similar result asthe attitude. The age of mothers had a significant relationship withthe degree of knowledge and practice, but not with attitude.Conclusion Degree of knowledge about immunization betweenWM and NWM are comparable, but differences exist in their atti-tude and performance

Background Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is an importantpublic health problem in Indonesia.Objective To find out factors influencing the transmission of STHin two different communities in North Sumatera, Indonesia.Methods A cross sectional study was done on 96 primary schoolchildren in Suka village (located on a mountain area) and 96 pri-mary school children in Pantai Cermin village (a coastal area). Sub-jects were recruited by simple random sampling. Kato Katz andcentrifuge floatation methods were used for stool and soil exami-nations, respectively. Data were collected by interviewing parentsof children using a questionnaire and were analyzed using chiâ€“square test by SPSS program version 11.0.Results There was no difference in the prevalence of STH in bothvillages (p>0.05). Parentsâ€™ knowledge and economic status hadsignificant relationships with the prevalence of STH in Suka vil-lage (p<0.05), but not in Pantai Cermin (p>0.05). In both villages,parentsâ€™ education did not have a significant relation with STH,while there were significant relations between STH and hygiene,environment, or soil contamination by worm eggs (p<0.05).Conclusion There were significant relationships between hygiene,environment, or soil contamination and the prevalence of STH inthe two villages.
