Get married, be healthy and happy. The singles, especially men, have greater risk for stroke. Thus the conclusion of a study involving more than 10,000 men.

After the stroke, other factors aside, a single man in the 1960s to 64 percent risk for a stroke three decades (30 years) later than their counterparts who were married. However, the risk of stroke in men who get married are also still high, especially the marriage was unhappy.

The results presented at the American Stroke Association conference in 2010 was consistent with the literature that says that the support of the spouse can increase a person’s health status.

“People who are married are usually more concerned about health. They are more likely to see a doctor when sick, and tend to have a healthy diet,” said Daniel Lackland, a professor of neuroscience from Epidemiologic and Medical University of South Caroline, USA.

The study of stroke and marital status was conducted by scientists in Israel, involving 10 059 men who participated in the Israeli ischemic Heart Disease Study in 1963. By using records of death, researchers looking for a track record of the health of the respondents until 1997.

Approximately 8.4 percent of the unmarried in 1963, both the still-single, divorced, or widower since his wife died, apparently died of a stroke after 34 year. The figure is slightly higher than married people, 7.1 percent.

The analysis result also shows socioeconomic factors and other risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, and smoking. Presence or absence of diabetes and heart disease at the beginning of the study also calculated.

Although this study involved only men respondents, the researchers said that the risk is not much different than the female. “Our partner is usually more concerned with the symptoms or signs of disease that we suffer so much faster treatment. As a result, the risk of complications or fatal strokes would be reduced,” explained Lackland.

Ramayana Fire Officers tried to put out the fire at Market shopping center Ramayana Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, Friday (2/4/2010). A total of 42 units of vehicles have been deployed to tame the fire extinguisher that looks since BBWI 07.30.

Lately I have the impression of death from accidents in our country increases. I follow the news in the media about the accident in some areas in the country. Accidents on the highway, an accident in the water, in air accidents, and accidents are also caused by the use of gas cylinders. Accidents due to natural disasters.

We seemed to care about this accident. Unfortunately, I also have the impression most of us just follow the news, but did not make an effort to reduce the accident rate. Everyone who had an accident and their families will suffer and bear the heavy burden. They are not just numbers, but are human beings like us as well.

I do not know whether the prevention of accidents is one of the health effort. However, I find it easier to approach this issue in terms of health rather than legal perspective, and others. Therefore, I wanted to ask what community efforts to reduce the number of medical accidents that lead to disability and death.

I understand this issue requires support from various parties. Health circles can not work alone, but must be supported by central and local government, transportation manager. However, I want the medical community who took the initiative to find an effective accident prevention efforts in our country.

Answer

We’re determined to build human resources healthy and productive. Accidents can be prevented even though it is certainly not easy to eliminate accidents. In countries that have been spelled out ahead once the accident still happened. Only difference is, accidents that happened in our country is largely due to our negligence.

Our behavior is not in accordance with safe behavior is to avoid accidents. We wear helmets when riding motorcycles with the aim to protect our head from a hard object collision. However, not a few people who wear helmets to avoid sanctions simply a traffic cop. Consequently, if there were no police, he did not use a helmet properly.

So it is with seat belts. In fact, seat belts have been proven to reduce the risk of disability and death if a collision occurs. However, again there are still many people who use them just to comply with the regulations. So, attitudes are aware of the danger of this accident should be improved in the community.

We lurk accident. Even at home can also be an accident, fire, explosion of gas cylinders, electrical shock, and injury to children playing in the kitchen, on stairs, or in the pool house. We are usually aware of the danger of accidents if there has been an accident. However, our concern only for a moment and soon will be lost. And the same accident will not happen again and takes another victim.

Take the example of an overturned boat or ship. In general passenger boat, although not using the buoy floats in many marine transportation is available. I’ve seen it happen in a tourist area to the passenger asked for a vest that had a boat. However, who had a boat that says it’s okay because as long as there is never an accident on the tourist areas. This is a portrait of our behavior are vulnerable to accidents.

Of course regulation and supervision also are important. I once took the river tour in Chaophraya River, Bangkok. Suddenly, our boat approached the police superintendent, apparently there are passengers who seem not to use a life jacket. This mechanism is generally not walked in our country. We lift the cap on community solidarity and the SAR team moved quickly to help victims of the accident. However, it would be nice if the system is also equipped with an effective accident prevention systems and protect the public.

Safe habits

In general we expect the government to act in reducing the number of accidents. However, please be aware that the community can also protect themselves with a free practice crash attitude. This includes arranging the house so minimal risk of accidents at home. For example, by keeping the kitchen, bathroom, stairs, installation of electricity, gas and chemicals do not pose a risk to residents, especially children and elderly people.

I’ve got an interesting information about the improvement of safety in a mining company in East Kalimantan. At the company is certainly no attempt to achieve an accident free. However, the assessment of employees on safety does not stop at the time worked at the company, but must become a habit of life, both in the workplace or on the road or at home.

If an employee is a ticket for not wearing safety belts on the highway, it would affect the employee appraisal even though it happened outside the workplace. This company wants to instill good safety habits in the workplace, on the road, and at home. So, safe living habits should inherent in ourselves, not because of company rules.

The mass media can actually help a lot. The sad news about an accident can proceed with the extension so that the incident was not repeated. Risky instruments that cause accidents, such as gas cylinders, it should comes with ways to use the safe as well as guidelines recognize a leak, and others.

We are committed to reducing maternal mortality, infant mortality, and of course we also want to reduce mortality due to accidents.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Rising global temperatures caused by global warming might affect the sleep quality of many people. Naturally, the hormone melatonin, the introduction to sleep, will be produced when the body temperature lower. The weather was hot and bright light inhibits melatonin and suspected cause of people have trouble sleeping.

“The hormone melatonin, naturally will come out close to nine hours a night, along with decreasing body temperature. That’s why the cold and cool when we sleep easier so sleepy and sleep more soundly,” said Amir dr.Nurmiati, Sp.KJ (K) , the RSCM Jakarta.

In fact, melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the body to regulate human biological sleep clock. This substance is only produced when it was getting dark. It was then that melatonin gives the “alarm” in the body, which commands a person to relax, drowsiness, and sleep. Toward morning, the body temperature increases and decreases melatonin production, so we woke up.

The body of teenagers and adults produce 5-25 micrograms of melatonin every night. This concentration will decrease with age. No wonder if many elderly (senior citizen) who experience difficulty sleeping disorders.

Scientists find molecule in the brain that causes drunk. Neuropeptide, a molecule which is responsible for signaling, is believed to cause the body experiencing symptoms of “sakau” when the brain trying to adapt to new levels of toxicity.

Experts nerve School of Biological Sciences from the University of Southhampton learn simple brain worms when exposed to different alcohol content. Brain worms adapt to the level of alcohol in the long term. When consumption is stopped, symptoms of sakau.

“This study shows the effect of alcohol on sakau and influence signaling processes in neural circuitry and its impact on behavior change,” said the head of the research team, the nerve specialist from the University of Southhampton, Lindy Holden-Dye. Once the worms are given low doses of alcohol, it sakau relieve symptoms. The study can be developed to cope with alcoholism in humans.

This is a warning for those who are workaholics. Based on recent research in England, people often work overtime to spend some 10 to 11 hours a day experienced a higher risk of heart disease.

Conclusion The study is the analysis of civilian workers in the UK 6000, published in European Heart Journal online edition. In the report mentioned, they are adding three to four hours a day to work overtime 60 percent higher risk of suffering from heart disease. These numbers appear after considering the various risks of disease, including smoking habits.

And experts say these findings bring a message of the importance of balance between work life and health.

From the study data revealed, there were 369 cases of death from heart disease respondent. They die of a heart attack or angina pectoris. Total time spent when overtime was closely linked in many cases.

According to researchers, many things that could explain this relationship. Those who often work overtime had little time for exercise, relaxation, or unwind.

Workers who like overtime are also more vulnerable to stress, anxiety, and depression. Researchers say people who are usually concerned with careers who like to work overtime. They have a personality “type A” with the characteristics of aggressive, ambitious, and angry.

To reduce the risk of breast cancer, we do not need to exercise extreme. Even with only foot we can maintain breast health significantly. Never too late to feel the benefits.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, scientists found that women who regularly exercise brisk walking at the end of the age of 30 and 40 years have a risk of developing breast cancer is lower than their counterparts who are lazy to move.

The study involved 74 000 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 years. They are the respondents in the Women’s Health Initiative study in 2002. The study concluded, among other benefits of hormone replacement therapy to reduce breast cancer risk.

Results of research about the benefits of walking is to strengthen the various studies that mention regular exercise effectively reduces the risk of breast cancer. Besides, it’s never too late to start.

Respondents who exercised only 1.5 to 2 hours of brisk walking each week and started when they were aged 35 and 50 years has also benefited decrease cancer risk by 18 percent. But, of course the benefits will be more meaningful if the sport began as early as possible.

In addition to walking, other sports that are fun such as swimming and cycling, if done regularly, it will reduce the cancer risk is greater. No lag, no more heart healthy bonuses at the same time keeping the weight remains the ideal.
