    81) and high sodium intake (OR = 2.33) have been shown to affect the incidence of hypertension.

    A substantial proportion of Malay population in Selangor was hypertensive with a higher sodium intake than the WHO recommendation. Hypertension was associated with rural location and high sodium intake. Sustainable and cost-effective population-based health promotion and prevention interventions using a multi-sectoral approach are needed to ensure sufficient community sodium intake.

    To identify the relationship between burnout stress and physical activity, specifically in pre-clinical medical students at Universitas Indonesia.

    This cross-sectional study included 318 students selected by stratified random sampling. The Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey was used to measure burnout stress, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form was used for physical activity. Correlation and multiple regression tests were performed to evaluate the relationship between all variables.

    Overall, most students had a moderate burnout stress and moderate physical activity level. Spearman’s correlation showed a statistically significant association for personal achievement with moderate intensity (r = 0.127, p = 0.024) and overall physical activity (r = 0.113, p = 0.045). Meanwhile, the correlation between depersonalisation and emotional exhaustion was non-significant. A statistically significant association was found for depersonalisation with both gender (r = -2.411, p = 0.016) and study programme (r = 1.007, p = 0.001). Additionally, at least 40% of students suffered from at least one aspect of severe burnout, while 25.7% had low levels of physical activity. Both conditions were the most severe among Grade III students.

    An association was found between physical activity and the personal performance component of burnout stress, indicating how low levels of physical activity will lower students’ sense of satisfaction with their own personal accomplishments. This will lead to higher levels of stress when doing school-related tasks as they see their efforts as a student in vain.

    To analyse factors affecting the recurrence of TB in a tertiary hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia.

    This is a hospital-based survey, located in Jakarta, in the period of January 2014 – December 2018. All patients with recurrent TB were included in the study, while the samples with successful treatment in the same period were chosen by consecutive sampling. Statistical analysis of clinical characteristics of both study groups was conducted.

    The medical records of 2322 TB patients who presented to Sulianti Saroso Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Ninety-four cases of recurrent TB that met inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. It was observed that factors affecting recurrence of TB were medication compliance (p = .007, odds ratio (OR) 0.38 [CI 95% 0.19-0.76]) and appearance of lung cavity lesions in the first thorax x-ray examination (p < .001, OR 0.08 [CI 95% 0.03-0.20]).

    There was a relationship between recurrent TB and medication compliance and the appearance of lung cavity lesions in the first thorax x-ray examination.

    To determine the association between fat and vitamin E intake with quality of life in patients with pulmonary MDR-TB.

    This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Dr. M. Goenawan Partowidig do Hospital, Cisarua, Indonesia, from April to May 2019. Ninety-two patients were enrolled in this study. Fat intake was assessed using 24 hours food recall, vitamin E intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and quality of life was obtained by a short form 36 questionnaire (SF 36). Data were analyzed using Pearson and Spearman correlation test.

    Subjects’ mean fat intake was 32.9 ± 11.1% of total calories per-day, which meant that most of the subjects consumed enough fat. Mean vitamin E intake was 4.6 ± 2.7 mg/day, which did not meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). The mean quality of life score was 47.22 ± 14.9. There was a significant association between fat intake and quality of life (r = 0.22; p = 0.032) and vitamin E intake with quality of life (r = 0.22, p = 0.035).

    There is a significant association between fat and vitamin E intake with quality of life among pulmonary MDR-TB patients. Further research is needed to evaluate the intervention by modifying food intake and giving vitamin E to MDR-TB patients.

    With increasing incidence of obesity in Indonesia, behavioural modification plays an important role for its management. Applying the Trans-Theoretical Model (TTM) to assess behavioural modification readiness of obese adolescence, this study highlighted two main processes of change in TTM emotional readiness to change (EmR) and weight consequence evaluation (WCE). Adolescence may develop difference EmR and WCE in handling obesity status especially in high school and college years, due to different phases of physic, autonomy and behavioural development.

    A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted using validated Indonesian version of the TTM questionnaire to compare WCE and EmR scores (scale 0-100) between high school students and college freshmen group which included means comparison tests and linear regression.

    The study involved 116 obese adolescents and majority were at the action (32%) and contemplation (31%) TTM stage. Veliparib After comparing 59 high school students and 57 college freshmen, EmR and WCE scores were not significantly different (p > 0.
