Abstract

Coronary heart disease is the world’s biggest killer. It is influenced by several risk factors, such as age, gender, blood pressure, body mass index, physical activity, diabetes mellitus, and smoking habit. This study aimed to describe the level of risk factors for coronary heart disease in 10 years according to The Jakarta cardiovascular score. The research used a descriptive method with a cross sectional design. The population of the study was 45 workers in the subdistrict office of South Cimahi. Samples were taken using simple random sampling. The majority of the workers in South Cimahi sub-district are male employees aged 50-54 years old (24.44%). Four people (8.9%) in the population were classified as having hypertension. While the majority, 97.8%, had normal glucose levels. However, only four people included in the category of obesity (8.9%). 51.1% of the employees, or 23 individuals, were smokers. The average workers in the South Cimahi district office had heavy physical activity, namely 24 people (53.3%). Based on The Jakarta cardiovascular score tool, there were 13 respondents who were included in the low-risk category (28.9%), while 26 respondents (57.8%) were included in the medium-risk category, and 6 respondents (13.3%) were at the high-risk category. The Jakarta cardiovascular score ranked the majority of the sub-district office workers in South Cimahi to be in the medium-risk category of developing coronary heart disease; therefore, education and prevention are required.
