ESTIMATION OF HYPERTENSION RISK FROM LIFESTYLE FACTORS IN COASTAL POPULATIONS

The prevalence of hypertension in coastal areas was still high between2007 and 2018 with the highest prevalence in 2007 at 53.3%. The purpose ofthis research was to analyze the prediction of hypertension based on thedeterminants of the lifestyle of the coastal population. The type of thisresearch is using cross-sectional research design, with a total sample of210 people in the coastal area of Medan Belawan. The data were collectedusing an instrument in the form of a questionnaire, body mass indexmeasurement using a manual weight balance and a stature meter and bloodpressure using an sphygmomanometer aneroid. The selection of candidates aspredictive variables is carried out by chi-square test analysis, followed bymultivariate analysis using binary logistic regression test and theformulation model to find predictions hypertension, namely age ≥ 45 yearshas a 3.040 times greater risk of suffering from hypertension than age 45years (p = 0.001; 95% CI = 1.549-5.966) and obesity nutritional status has alarge 2.284 times greater risk of suffering from hypertension thannutritional status was not obese (p = 0.028; 95% CI = 1.091-4.780). Theresults of the calculation of the probability from the modeling, it is foundthat if a person is ≥ 45 years old and has a nutritional status of obesity,the probability of suffering hypertension is 99.99%.
