Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the main priorities in the world of health. As the world population soars, deaths from NCDs will increase every year. Globally, there are 41 million cases or the equivalent of 74% of deaths caused by NCDs every year.

The population in this research was all fisherman in Paluh Sibaji Village, totaling 200 hundred fisherman. The sampling method used in this research was convenience sampling with a total of 60 fisherman respondents. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence fisherman's blood pressure on the incidence of hypertension (HTN). This research uses multiple linear regression analysis and application analysis using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences tools. The significance value of the consumption pattern, knowledge and attitude variables is below p<0.05, so it can be concluded that consumption pattern, knowledge and attitude influence the incidence of HTN among fisherman in Paluh Sibaji village. This study revealed that the majority of respondents, especially those belonging to the risk group, had experienced HTN. Age at risk was found to have a 2.26% higher likelihood of developing HTN. A large number of respondents showed poor consumption patterns, good knowledge, negative attitudes, and poor behavior regarding HTN prevention. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions and awareness campaigns to address these factors and reduce the risk of HTN in the studied population. It is recommended that further research discuss more broadly the factors that can influence the increase in blood pressure in fisherman and conduct a detailed food recall to assess the impact of consumption on HTN. Keywords: Attitude, Consumption pattern , Fisherman, HTN,  Knowledge

Abstract

Indonesia ranks 80th in the world’s happiness index, lagging behind neighboring countries such as Singapore (30th), Malaysia (59th), and Thailand (58th). The happiness index consists of three dimensions: life satisfaction (education, work, and home facilities), feelings (happiness, anxiety, and depression), and meaningfulness of life (independence, environmental mastery, and self-acceptance). In 2021, North Maluku was the happiest province while North Sumatra had the lowest happiness index, nationally ranking seventh lowest and being one of the provinces with poor incomes, education, and housing facilities experienced by fishermen in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the Life Satisfaction Level among fishermen. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with 107 samples taken based on the Slovin formula from the population of 700 people. The data was obtained by using a questionnaire that had been tested for the validity and reliability. A univariate data analysis was performed by using SPSS version 25. The results showed that 47.66% respondents were &gt;45 years old, 43.93% completed junior high school, 7.67% had 5-10 years of work experience, and 57.94% smoked. While 52.34% perceived their quality of life as not good, 85.98% felt not secure about old age, 77.57% felt their jobs did not meet financial needs, 82.24% reported their finance was not good enough, 60.75% felt their health quality was not good, and 74.77% found their living conditions were inadequate. Moreover, 64.49% considered that their sleep quality was not good, 77.57% had bad social relationships, and 64.49% struggled to manage negative emotions. Only 47.67% of the fishermen considered that their quality of life was good. Most of these traditional fishermen had low levels of life satisfaction. Therefore, improving welfare through expansion of economic opportunities, access to health services, and community-based social support is needed to enhance the quality of life and resilience of the fishermen. Keywords: Fishermen, Life, Satisfaction, Traditional , Worker.
