HUBUNGAN POLA MAKAN DAN AKTIVITAS FISIK DENGAN KEJADIAN HIPERTENSI

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a disorder of the blood vessels which causes the supply of oxygen and nutrients carried by the blood to be blocked to the body tissues that need it. This study aims to determine the relationship between sodium consumption, fat consumption and physical activity with the incidence of hypertension in outpatients. This research was a quantitative descriptive study with a cross sectional study approach. A cross-sectional study was defined as a type of observational research that analyzes variable data collected at one particular point in time across a predetermined sample population. Quantitative research methods could be interpreted as research methods based on the philosophy of positivism, used to examine certain populations and samples, sampling techniques are generally carried out randomly, data collection using research instruments, quantitative data analysis with the aim of testing hypotheses that have been stated.

In this study there were 50 respondents dominated by men (60%) the average had a family history of hypertension (28%), the average was high school education (34%) and the majority worked as farmers (40%). This study showed that there was a relationship between sodium consumption and fat consumption (p < = 0.05) and physical activity (p < = 0.05) with the incidence of hypertension. Eet pattern about sodium consumption fat consumption and physical activity has a relationship with the incidence of hypertension.
