Analysis and Design of Dashboard Information System Results of Nutrition Status Monitoring Year 2016 As a Supporter of Community Nutrition Policy
The availability of data and information presented comprehensively and easily understood is still very limited until it has not been able to fully support the process of decision making and the formulation of appropriate policies for the organization. A dashboards information system is an application that provides information about key indicators of organizational activity at a glance in a single screen. Dashboards can be a tool to present summaries of data and information in an easily understandable visual form. This study aimed to analyze and design the dashboard information system based on Nutrition Status Monitoring surveys conducted in 2016 by the Ministry of Health. Nutrition Status Monitoring is a survey that produces an overview of nutritional status and indicators of community nutrition program performance outcomes in 514 districts/cities in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The method used in this research was the development of a methodology for the construction of an information dashboard with a focus on the activity of requirement identification, planning, and design of the prototype. The output of this research was the design of the dashboard information system that processes and presents data/information on the results of Monitoring of Nutritional Status of 2016 in the form of easy-to-understand visualization. With this information system, it could be an effective means to measure the performance of the organization and support relevant stakeholders in the process of taking actionintervention and policy formulation to improve the nutrition of the community.

Correlation Between Hormonal Contraceptives Use and Age of Menarche with Breast Cancer Among Women in Indonesia: A Systematic Review
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to GLOBOCAN, International Agency for Research on Cancer 2012, it is known that breast cancer is cancer with the highest percentage of new cases, at 43.3%, and percentage death due to breast cancer by 12.9%. Although the incidence of breast cancer in Asia remains lower than in North America, Western Europe, and Oceania, the rates have been increasing rapidly during the past few decades, and Asian countries now account for 40% of breast cancer cases diagnosed worldwide. Southeast Asian countries have moderate rates for breast cancer, with a higher incidence of one in Indonesia. Breast cancer morbidity and mortality increased among Indonesian women. These increased rateswere associated with higher prevalence of breast cancer risk factors such as hormonal contraceptive use and age of menarche. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between hormonal contraceptives use and generation of menarche with breast cancer among women in Indonesia. This study used a systematic review made by PRISMA. Searching for literature sources through online databases such as Science Direct, JSTOR, and Proquest, additional records identified through Google Scholar by using relevant keywords adjusted by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Five studies included in this review. All studies discussed breast cancer among women in several regions in Indonesia. There was a significant correlation between hormonal contraceptives use and age of menarche with breast cancer among women in Indonesia. Women may be more careful in determining the duration of hormonal contraceptive use and avoiding a lifestyle that can accelerate menarche.

Determinants of Latent Tuberculosis in Bandung, West Java
Background: TB remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, including Indonesia. About 7% of all deaths in developing countries are attributed to TB. Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active TB. This study aimed to examine the determinants of latent tuberculosis in Bandung, West Java.
Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Bandung, West Java. A total of 252 peoples were selected for this study, consisting of latent tuberculosis cases and controls. The dependent variable was latent tuberculosis. The independent variables were age, nutrition status, BCG scar, and smoking. The data were collected by laboratory test and questionnaire. The data was analyzed by a multiple logistic regression.
Results: The risk of latent tuberculosis increased with occasional smoking (OR= 9.34; 95% CI= 4.23 to 20.67), frequent smoking (OR= 12.99; 95% CI= 2.49 to 67.94), poor nutrition status (OR= 2.64; 95% CI= 0.49 to 14.31), but decreased with BCG scar (OR= 0.45; 95% CI= 0.21 to 0.95).
Conclusion: The risk of latent tuberculosis increases with occasional smoking, frequent smoking, poor nutrition status, but decreases with BCG scar.

A Scoping Review on Biopsychosocial Predictors of Mental Health among Older Adults
This review aims to map the available evidence on biopsychosocial predictors of elderly mental health. The articles were independently screened in three selected databases, namely Pubmed, Proquest and Google Scholar. The stages consist of identifying the research questions, seeking and selecting relevant evidence, mapping data, and concluding and reporting results. The PRISMA flowchart was used to show the PEOS evidence search flow. A total of 23,722 articles were obtained from all databases during the initial search, where 458 titles fulfilled the eligibility criteria at the title screening stage. Furthermore, 383 articles passed through abstract screening, where 75 met the inclusion criteria and were included for full-text screening.
