Abstract

Non-infectious diseases, including hypercholesterolemia, are now ranked top 10 inIndonesia. Statins are inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme for biosynthesis ofcholesterol in the liver. Statins have been proven to reduce the risk of death due to CHDand mortality from various reasons. The objective of the study is to know the utilizationof statins in peripheral area of Indonesia. This retrospective study on utilization of statinsprescribed for hypercholesterolemia was taken from medical record year of 2014-2015of a District Hospital – Dr. Haulussy, Ambon, and Maluku. We collected demographicdata, pre- and treated concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG),types and dosages of statins or other lipid-lowering medications given. Student t-testusing was performed to check statistical differences for all cholesterol and TG differencesprior to therapy versus during treatment. Eighty three respondents consisted of 26 men(31.3%) and 57 women (68.7%) with mean age 60 ± 11 years old. The pre-treatment/post-treatment values (mg/dL) of TC: 245.22 ± 51.40/224.97 ± 98.79 (p=0.004);LDL-C: 166.07 ± 45.36/146.00 ± 41.07; HDL-C: 54.52 ± 37.95/43.00 ± 0.00; andTG: 177.36 ± 103.25/121.00 ± 52.87, respectively. Seventy-nine patients (95.2%)were treated with statins. The dosage given were 10 mg (n=19, 22.9%), 20 mg (n=63, 75.9%), and 40 mg (n=1, 1.2%). Twenty-eight patients (33.7%) had no posttreatmentdata of cholesterol, and 31 out of 55 patients (56%) were responders. Allcholesterol levels were decreased, but responder rate was only 56%. Therefore, dosageadjustment and prerequisite cholesterol level during and post-treatment measurementshould be made regularly.

Abstract

Although there are already restrictions on the age of marriage according to Law No. 16 of 2019 article 7 paragraph 1 which reads: Marriage is only allowed if the man and woman have reached the age of 19 (nineteen) years, early marriage is still a problem in Indonesia. Early marriage has quite a lot of impact not only on the marriage partner, but also on their descendants and families. The divorce rate is quite high and the health rate and family economy also have an effect. Based on this, in the FK UKI Community Service activities in June 2022, data collection has been carried out related to the early marriage history of residents of Tidung Island-Thousand Islands, Jakarta. There were 99 respondents who had a history of early marriage, with the youngest marriage age was 10 years old and the oldest was 18 years old. The last education they had graduated was elementary school (69.7%) with a job as “housewife". This shows that although the Marriage Law has been assigned since 1974 and amended in 2019, the problem of early marriage is still high, and this certainly affects the government's performance to achieve the achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct counseling and monitoring to parents, the younger generation and other community institutions, so that early marriage no longer occurs.
