Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide, with an increasing burden among working-age adults. Sedentary behavior and dietary patterns, including food consumption based on the NOVA classification, are considered important lifestyle factors that may contribute to hypertension. This study aimed to describe respondent characteristics, sedentary behavior, dietary patterns based on the NOVA food classification, and the distribution of hypertension among working-age adults. A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 37 working-age adults with hypertension recruited using accidental sampling. Data were collected using the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ), a NOVA-based food frequency questionnaire, and blood pressure measurements. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions and percentages. Most respondents were late-middle-aged adults, female, housewives, and non-smokers. Grade I hypertension was observed in 51.3% of respondents, while 48.6% had Grade II hypertension. Moderate sedentary behavior was the most common category. Based on the NOVA classification, respondents frequently consumed foods from NOVA Group 1 and NOVA Group 2, whereas foods from NOVA Group 3 and NOVA Group 4 were consumed less frequently. The findings suggest that hypertension among working-age adults is a multifactorial condition influenced by multiple risk factors. Hypertension prevention strategies should therefore promote healthy lifestyle behaviors through increased physical activity, reduced sedentary behavior, healthier dietary practices, and regular blood pressure monitoring.

Abstract

The increasing proportion of the aging population has become a major public health challenge due to the growing prevalence of degenerative diseases and the decline in functional independence among older adults. Preparing individuals during the pre-elderly period is considered a strategic approach to promote healthy aging and prevent functional decline in later life. This study aimed to develop a theoretical model of readiness for independent aging based on the interaction of nutritional factors, physical activity, and social support among pre-elderly adults. A quantitative explanatory study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 50 pre-elderly respondents in Pagongan Village, Tegal Regency. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires and anthropometric measurements, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The simulation results demonstrated that all constructs met the requirements of validity and reliability, with Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values above 0.50 and Composite Reliability values above 0.70. The structural model showed good predictive ability (R² = 0.684; SRMR = 0.064), indicating that nutritional factors, physical activity, and social support explained 68.4% of the variance in readiness for independent aging. Physical activity was identified as the strongest determinant (β = 0.447; p < 0.001), followed by nutritional factors (β = 0.321; p = 0.001) and social support (β = 0.289; p = 0.003). The proposed theoretical model highlights that readiness for independent aging is a multidimensional construct influenced by biological, behavioral, and psychosocial determinants. This model provides a conceptual foundation for developing preventive strategies, health promotion programs, and future intervention studies aimed at supporting healthy aging and reducing the risk of degenerative diseases among pre-elderly populations.
