Abstract

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease concern in coastal communities because high-sodium dietary practices and smoking may increase the risk of elevated blood pressure. Hypertension cases at Pasar Ikan Public Health Center increased from 2,307 cases in 2023 and 2024 to 2,347 cases in 2025. Objective: To analyze the relationship between dietary patterns, smoking habits, and the incidence of hypertension in the coastal area served by Pasar Ikan Public Health Center, Bengkulu City. This quantitative cross-sectional study involved 94 respondents selected by simple random sampling. Dietary patterns were assessed using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire, smoking habits through a questionnaire, and hypertension through blood-pressure measurement; data were analyzed using frequency distributions and the Chi-Square test at α=0.05. Forty-eight respondents (51.1%) had unhealthy dietary patterns, 45 (47.9%) were non-smokers, and 62 (66.0%) had hypertension. Dietary pattern was significantly associated with hypertension (χ²=6.467; p=0.011), as was smoking habit (χ²=9.731; p=0.008). Dietary patterns and smoking habits were significantly related to hypertension, supporting stronger low-salt dietary education, smoking cessation, and routine blood-pressure screening in coastal communities.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that has become a global health concern, with prevalence continuously rising, particularly among the elderly. Low public awareness about hypertension and insufficient physical activity are key factors that worsen the condition. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness of hypertension through health education, healthy diet counseling, and hypertension exercise. The activity was conducted in Hamlet II B, Air Sebakul Village, involving 30 participants consisting of elderly individuals, women of childbearing age, and productive-age community members. Methods included health education using leaflets and PowerPoint presentations, blood pressure measurement, and pre-test and post-test assessments. Results showed that 60% of participants had hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg). Knowledge evaluation revealed a significant improvement, from 30% of participants having good knowledge before the session to 90% afterward. Hypertension exercise conducted for approximately 60 minutes also showed a positive response, with diastolic blood pressure reduction observed in several participants, particularly those with Stage 1 hypertension. It is concluded that an integrated intervention of health education, dietary counseling, and hypertension exercise is effective as a promotive and preventive approach to reducing hypertension risk in the community.
