Unhealthy diet and lifestyle can affect the immune system of the elderly, making them more susceptible to various diseases, one of which is hypertension. The number of people with hypertension and the death rate due to hypertension and its complications is increasing every year.Objective: To analyze the consumption of high-sodium foods on the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Medan Area South Health Center.Methods: This research is an analytic research with a cross sectional approach. This research was conducted at the Medan Health Center in the South area in November 2022–March 2023. The sample in this study were elderly people who suffered from hypertension with a total sample of 68 people. Data taken through a questionnaire is primary data and analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Somers'd test.Results: The characteristics of the respondents in this study were found to be more female (54.4%), aged between 45-59 years (54.4%), and worked with a predominance of self-employed jobs (39.7%). The pattern of sodium intake in this study was more in the high sodium intake category (55.9%). The blood pressure category of respondents in this study had more hypertension grade 1 blood pressure (51.5%). Based on the bivariate test, it was found that more respondents had a high sodium intake category with hypertension degree 1 blood pressure.Conclusion: Based on the Somers' D analysis test, a significant relationship was found between consumption of high-sodium foods and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Medan Area South Health Center (p value 0.000).Keywords: Hypertension, Consumption, Elderly, Sodium

Abstract

Abstract— According to WHO (World Health Organization), anxiety disorders affected 266 million people globally in 2019, or 5.3% of the population. As the second most common mental disorder after depression, anxiety impacts 284 million people and significantly contributes to the disease burden worldwide. Meanwhile, regional prevalence rates are 19.2%, 16.2%, 9.0%, and 11.8% in North America, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with particularly 57.5% and 68.8% rates among pregnant women in Bali (2020) and Semarang (2023), respectively. In this context, ginger (Zingiber officinale), traditionally used for various ailments, contains phenol such as shogaol, zingerone, gingerol, and 6-shogaol, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for reducing anxiety. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the phenol contents of ginger using UV-Vis spectrophotometry in the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of North Sumatra. The results show that there is a strong correlation of 0.9794 between gallic acid and phenol content. Additionally, phenol levels are reported with different extraction methods including 43.2653 mgGAE/g (4.326%) with water, 62.7680 mgGAE/g (6.27%) with 70% ethanol, and 129.7456 mgGAE/g (12.97%) with 96% ethanol. The highest phenol content in organic red ginger using 96% ethanol suggests the potential to reduce anxiety by counteracting free radicals.
