Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition associated with metabolic disorders, including decreased High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels and elevated uric acid levels, which may increase cardiovascular risk. Physical activity and dietary patterns are lifestyle factors believed to influence these metabolic parameters, although previous findings remain inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity and HDL levels, as well as dietary patterns and uric acid levels, among hypertensive patients participating in the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) at Klinik Griya Sehat Colomadu. An observational study with analytic elements utilizing both cohort and cross-sectional methods was carried out with 30 participants chosen through purposive sampling. The level of physical activity was evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while eating habits were analyzed through a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) that was substantiated by a 24-hour food recall. HDL and uric acid concentrations were determined using enzymatic methods in a laboratory. The data was examined employing the Spearman correlation test and Fisher’s Exact Test at a significance threshold of 0.05. Findings indicated that the average HDL level was greater in the group engaging in moderate physical activity compared to the one with low physical activity; nevertheless, no significant relationship was observed (p = 0.091). Dietary patterns were also not significantly associated with uric acid levels (p = 0.155). In conclusion, physical activity was not significantly related to HDL levels, and dietary patterns were not significantly related to uric acid levels among hypertensive PROLANIS patients.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a major global health challenge, characterized by a progressive decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Advanced age, sub-optimal glycemic control, and lipid abnormalities are well-established risk factors for renal dysfunction. This study evaluated the clinical profiles of subjects and analyzed the association between various clinical indicators and eGFR. A cross-sectional design was employed involving 317 participants. Data on age, HbA1c (specifically for diabetic individuals, n = 207), lipid parameters (Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL, and HDL), and renal function markers (Urea and Creatinine) were recorded. Descriptive statistics (mean, range, and standard deviation) were calculated, and bivariate associations were evaluated using Pearson’s product-moment correlation test. The mean age of participants was 60.67±10.64 years, with a mean eGFR of 73.90±25.24 mL/min/1.73 m², reflecting a mild reduction in renal function. Bivariate analysis demonstrated significant negative correlations between eGFR and age (r = -0.443, p < 0.001), urea (r = -0.695, p < 0.001), creatinine (r = -0.605, p < 0.001), and triglycerides (r = -0.114, p = 0.042). In contrast, eGFR correlated positively with HDL (r = 0.114, p = 0.042) and HbA1c (r = 0.171, p = 0.014). No statistically significant associations were observed for total cholesterol or LDL. Deterioration of renal function in this cohort is strongly linked to aging and metabolic disturbances. The positive correlation with HbA1c suggests early-stage glomerular hyperfiltration in diabetic patients. These results highlight the critical need for early metabolic intervention and periodic renal assessment, particularly among elderly and diabetic populations.
