Purpose: People are unable to find a cause and effect relationship between obesity and its co-morbidities. This paper attempts to evaluate perception of morbidly obese Indian patients towards obesity and related disorders. Methods: Data of 150 obese patients undergoing Bariatric Surgery of which 57 were males and 93 females, with a mean pre and post op BMI 46± 17 and BMI 39± 16 was evaluated prospectively with a questionnaire to see presence of commonly seen obesity related co-morbidities like Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, etc as induced by Obesity. Results: Outof 150 patients 100% patients had one or more multiple co-morbidities.In the present study the % of patients who correlated these co-morbidities with obesity as a cause was 20%, 40%, 100%, 7%, 10%, 10%, 0%, 60%, 65%, 0%, 0%, 100%, 60%, 10%, 5%, 0% out of 100% for Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, DOE, Snoring, Acanthosis, PCOD, Migraine, Depressive Symptoms, Lethargy, Urinary Incontinence, Hirsutism, Joint Pain, Oedama, Varicose Veins, Gynacomastia and GERD respectively. Conclusion: Many co-morbidities related to Obesity like Acanthosis, PCOD, Migraine, Varicose Veins, Gynacomastia and GERD (<50%), were not perceived by patients as induced by obesity. Even Depressive Symptoms, Lethargy and Oedama did not have 100% correlation in the patient’s perception. There is a huge scope for educating population and creating awareness. © 2017, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development. All rights reserved.

Cancer is an abnormal growth of the cells of the body, and may move from one place to another and lead to the growth and proliferation of irregular cells to form tumors are on the two types of tumor and benign tumor malignant, and there is no specific reason for the emergence of tumors and factors Environmental, genetic, economic, social, dietary habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol and drugs. The research aims to study cancer in the province of Babylon, one of the Iraqi provinces, the results showed a clear spatial disparity between the administrative units of the province, the rate of cases of cancer in all the province of Babylon in 2010 (43) Of the population, which is more than the rate of cases of infection across Iraq, amounting to (38) injuries per 100 thousand people. The study also showed a difference in the rates of infection according to the ten common types of cancer in Babil province comes on the list of these types is breast cancer, where the rate of infection (9.35) per 100000 population, which is one of the most dangerous types of cancer threat to the population, especially females. Lung cancer and bronchitis come in second place with a rate of (8.45) infections per 100000 population. Then leukemia comes in third place (5.47) per 100000 population. Pancreatic, gastric, and laryngeal cancers are among the lowest-risk cancers for the above-mentioned species (1.97-1.86-1.69), respectively. The level of administrative units, Hala recorded the highest rate of cases infected with the disease (56.18) per 100000 population. Followed by Musayyib (43.51), Mahawil (31.89), and Al-Hashimiah (27. 80). © 2018, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development. All rights reserved.

Maternal death is a leading indicator of women health status, mainly the risk of death during pregnancy, child birth and the puerperium. Maternal Mortality Ratio in Banjar, if seen since 2014 is 231 per 100.000 live births and 2017 becomes 91 per 100.000 live births. Direct causes of death are still caused bleeding, toxemia gravidarum, infection and indirect causes of death, namely maternal characteristics and access to health services. This study aims to identify determinants of maternal mortality from 2016 to 2017 in Banjar Regency. Data source used Health Profile with case-control design, the samples is 63 people with 21 cases and controls 42 people, by using analysis Chi-square test. The results of showed that the majority of maternal deaths were from not risk age, not risk parity, gynecologist as provider of labor, the highest incidence of death at hospital, with the incidence of the postpartum period, and complications with bleeding. Chi-square test statistical analysis obtained a significant related on age (OR = 0.2; 0.09-0.8), parity (OR = 0.2; 0.08-0.8), provider of labor (OR = 0.2; 0.03-0.8), and complications of death (OR = 2.3; 1.5-3.3). Determinants that were not significantly related were the place of death/delivery (OR=3,5; 1,0-12,2), time of occurrence (OR = 0.3; 0.08-1.3). Of the four variables related to maternal death, three of them are intermediate determinants is health status, reproductive status, and access to health care facilities. © 2019, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development.

Background: The result of Riskesdas (2013) showed that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia had increased from 35.6% to 37.2%. This high prevalence is not only related to health problems but also affected by others which indirectly affecting such as household food security. Low food security will result in a low quality of consumed food as reflected in a low food diversity which consumed by toddlers, leading to stunting. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months. Method: This is an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design. The study was carried out on Sub-district of Bayat, Klaten Regency, with a total of 100 toddlers aged 24-59 months as subjects using simple random sampling. The data then analyzed using bivariate analysis (Chi-Square, Fisher Exact test) and multivariate analysis (Logistic Regression test). Result: Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between birth length (p=0,050, OR=2,533, 95% Cl: 1,084-5,919), household food security (p = 0,00, OR = 6,160,95% Cl: 2,497-15,197), food diversity (p = 0.00, OR = 6.801, 95% Cl: 2,146-21,558) with the occurrences of stunting. The result of multivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between household food security (p = 0,00, OR = 8,328, 95% Cl: 2,860-24,251) and food diversity with the occurrences of stunting in toddlers (p = 0,01, OR = 10,092, 95% Cl: 2,558-39,815). Conclusion: The household food security and food diversity are the risk factors for stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months. © 2019, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development.
