Abstract: Abstract: Manual material handling activities on the production line of PT MYR, particularly in the Sugar Vibro, Sugar Grinding, and SSK sections, have the potential to pose a risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), specifically… ecifically Low Back Pain (LBP). This study aims to evaluate the working posture of production operators, identify the body parts most vulnerable to injury, and formulate recommendations for ergonomic work facilities and methods to reduce injury risk levels and enhance work efficiency. The method used in this study is a combination of the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire to measure the subjective physical complaints of respondents (n=20) and the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method based on digital/photo data processing to objectively evaluate the joint angles of operator postures. The results of the NBM questionnaire data processing indicated that complaints were most dominant in the waist area at 95% (19 out of 20 respondents) and the back area at 75% (15 out of 20 respondents), followed by complaints in the right shoulder (55%) and left shoulder (50%). The posture analysis using the RULA method indicated high to very high ergonomic risk levels: at the Sugar Vibro station, the lifting sacks from pallet activity achieved a final RULA score of 7 (Action Level 4, very high risk), pouring sacks into machine hopper activity achieved a final RULA score of 6 (Action Level 3, high risk), the Sugar Grinding station scored 5 (Action Level 3), and the SSK station scored 7 (Action Level 4). The primary factors contributing to the high LBP risk in operators were the high trunk flexion angle of up to 65°, repetitive lifting of loads weighing 25–50 kg, and static arm and wrist positions without ergonomic support. The proposed improvement recommendations include modifying and redesigning workstations, providing ergonomic material handling equipment, designing work rotation schedules, and conducting regular muscle stretching programs. Keywords: Ergonomics, Nordic Body Map (NBM), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), Low Back Pain (LBP), Production Operators, Manual Material Handling.   Abstrak: Aktivitas penanganan material secara manual (manual material handling) pada lini produksi PT MYR, khususnya bagian Vibro Gula, Gula Giling, dan SSK, berpotensi menimbulkan risiko cedera otot rangka (Musculoskeletal Disorders/MSDs), khususnya Low Back Pain (LBP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi postur kerja operator produksi, mengidentifikasi bagian tubuh yang paling berpotensi mengalami gangguan, serta merumuskan usulan perbaikan fasilitas dan cara kerja yang ergonomis guna mengurangi tingkat risiko cedera dan meningkatkan efisiensi kerja. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kombinasi kuesioner Nordic Body Map (NBM) untuk mengukur tingkat keluhan fisik subjektif responden (n=20) dan metode Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) berbasis pengolahan data digital/foto untuk mengevaluasi sudut-sudut persendian postur kerja operator secara objektif. Hasil pengolahan data kuesioner NBM menunjukkan keluhan paling dominan dialami pekerja pada area pinggang sebesar 95% (19 dari 20 responden) dan area punggung sebesar 75% (15 dari 20 responden), diikuti oleh keluhan pada bahu kanan (55%) dan bahu kiri (50%). Hasil analisis postur kerja dengan metode RULA mengindikasikan tingkat risiko ergonomi yang tinggi hingga sangat tinggi: stasiun Vibro Gula aktivitas mengangkat karung dari pallet memperoleh skor akhir RULA 7 (Action Level 4, berisiko sangat tinggi), aktivitas menuang karung ke corong mesin memperoleh skor akhir RULA 6 (Action Level 3, berisiko tinggi), stasiun Gula Giling memperoleh skor 5 (Action Level 3), dan stasiun SSK memperoleh skor 7 (Action Level 4). Faktor utama penyebab tingginya risiko LBP pada operator adalah tingginya sudut fleksi pembungkukan batang tubuh (trunk) hingga 65°, pengangkatan beban berulang seberat 25–50 kg, serta posisi lengan dan pergelangan tangan yang menahan beban statis tanpa penopang ergonomis. Rekomendasi perbaikan yang diusulkan meliputi modifikasi dan redesign stasiun kerja, penyediaan alat bantu penanganan material ergonomis, perancangan jadwal rotasi kerja, serta program regangan otot berkala.

Abstract: This study aimed to determine the relationship between stress levels and sugar and sodium intake among hypertensive patients at Bontomarannu Health Center. This quantitative study used an analytical observational design… with a cross-sectional approach. The study involved 40 hypertensive patients selected using accidental sampling. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), while sugar and sodium intake were assessed using three non-consecutive 24-hour food recalls. Blood pressure was measured using a tensimeter. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with Fisher's Exact Test applied to examine the relationships between stress level and sugar intake and between stress level and sodium intake at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed that 72.5% of respondents had moderate stress, 82.5% had adequate sugar intake, and 65.0% had excessive sodium intake. Fisher's Exact Test showed a significant relationship between stress level and sugar intake (p = 0.026), whereas no significant relationship was found between stress level and sodium intake (p = 0.759). These findings indicate that stress level was associated with sugar intake, but not with sodium intake, among hypertensive patients at Bontomarannu Health Center.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and metabolic diseases among adolescents has become a critical public health concern. Unhealthy dietary habits and low physical activity are key risk factors contributing to elevated blood glucose levels and blood pressure from school age. This study aims to analyze the relationship between dietary habits and metabolic health conditions based on random blood glucose (RBG) levels and blood pressure among students at SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap. Specifically, this study aims to determine the relationship between sugar consumption habits, random blood glucose levels, and blood pressure in students of SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap. This analytical study utilized a cross-sectional design. The research samples consisted of whole blood biological fluids collected through purposive sampling from students at SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap in July 2025. Data analysis using the chi-square test showed no significant relationship between glucose consumption habits and blood glucose levels (p=0.314; p>0.05). Similarly, there was no significant relationship between glucose consumption habits and blood pressure (p=0.419; p>0.05). In conclusion, there is no relationship between sugar consumption habits, random blood glucose levels, and blood pressure among students at SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap. These findings indicate that although most students have normal metabolic health conditions, some adolescents remain at risk for metabolic disorders. Therefore, regular health screening, nutritional education, and the implementation of a healthy lifestyle must be conducted from adolescence as a preventive measure against metabolic diseases and to improve health status within the school environment.

These problems are influenced by… y an unbalanced diet, low consumption of local foods, and a lack of physical activity. The SIPAKATAU (Synergy of Local Food and Physical Activity) programme was designed to address these issues through nutritional education, my plate demonstrations, physical activity, and the use of locally sourced, easily accessible food to the community. The activities were carried out over a month in Paccerakkang and Berua villages, involving 24 participants, health cadres, and the Paccerakkang community health centre. The intervention included pre-tests, interactive education, hands-on practice, physical activity monitoring, and health checks before and after the activities. The results showed an increase in knowledge from 50% to 75% in the good category, increased implementation of My Plate, and 75% of participants had sufficient physical activity. Health indicators showed improvement, particularly in cholesterol (normal levels increased from 1 to 7 individuals) and uric acid (100% normal). Blood sugar levels showed improvement, while blood pressure and nutritional status required longer-term intervention. The SIPAKATAU programme proved effective in improving community nutrition and health behaviours and is recommended as a model for community-based NCD prevention.
