DM sufferers who do not carry out treatment and care properly will experience complications at both the cellular and anatomical levels, both macrovascular and microvascular. Macrovascular complications are blockages in large blood vessels such as in the heart and brain which often result in death and in the lower extremities which result in gangrene in the legs, while microvascular complications are blockages in small blood vessels such as in the kidneys and in the eyes causing vision problems. </em><em>Objective: </em><em>The research aims to determine the number of macrovascular and microvascular complications in people with DM at Prolanis Daun Salam Sibela Health Center. And the influence of Diabetes Mellitus on macrovascular and microvascular complications</em> <em>Methods: </em><em>Descriptive research type with cross sectional design. The population was people with diabetes mellitus who participated in Prolanis Daun Salam at Sibela Health Center using total sampling. The data collection technique is by means of anamnese, interview, questionnaire, early detection of macrovascular and microvascular complications. The data analysis technique uses the chi-square statistical test to analyze data on categories of macrovascular and microvascular complications, and determine the relationship or trend of macrovascular complications and microvascular complications. </em><em>Results: </em><em>The most macrovascular complications were complications in peripheral disease, namely 87%, and the smallest were cardiovascular complications at 13%, and cerebrovascular complications at 37%. Meanwhile, microvascular complications in retinopathy accounted for 27%, neuropathy accounted for 30% and the most common was nephropathy at 47%</em> <em>Conclusion: </em><em>DM sufferers at Prolanis Daun Salam Sebela Community Health Center are at risk of developing macrovascular and microvascular complications</em></p> Suryanti Suryanti Duwi Pudjiati Copyright (c) 2025 Suryanti Suryanti, Duwi Pudjiati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2025-04-21 2025-04-21 4 1 1 11 10.55080/mjn.v4i1.1273 PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN KNEE DECKER TERHADAP NYERI LUTUT SAAT MENDAKI GUNUNG MAHASISWA PENCINTA ALAM https://tahtamedia.co.id/index.php/mjn/article/view/1373 <p><em>Background: One of the student activities related to physical activity and sports is mountain climbing. Mountain climbing is a sport related to physical activity and nature. Physical activity carried out in the open air has more benefits for physical and psychological health because mountain climbing is a medium to find a calm and quiet atmosphere because the mountain is far from the hustle and bustle of the city. However, mountain climbing can cause various health problems if done without good preparation. One of the physical problems that arises is knee pain. Efforts to reduce the level of pain can be done by using an assistive device (orthosis), namely knee support or elastic knee decker. Elastic knee decker is an orthosis that covers the knee area where the function of the elastic knee decker itself is to provide compression, knee stability, minimize muscle work and can reduce the degree of pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of knee decker on knee pain that occurs when climbing mountains.</em></p> <p><em>Methods and subjects: This study is a quasi-experimental study with a two-group pre-test post-test design. Sampling using purposive sampling of 16 people. </em></p> <p><em>Results: The Mann-Whitney test results showed a sig. value of 0.001, meaning p&lt;0.05, which indicates the effect of using elastic knee decker on knee pain in mountain climbers.</em></p> Prasetyo Catur Utomo Muhibbah Fatati An-nisa Octaviani Putri Copyright (c) 2025 Prasetyo Catur Utomo, Muhibbah Fatati, An-nisa Octaviani Putri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2025-04-21 2025-04-21 4 1 12 17 10.55080/mjn.v4i1.1373
