Abstract

Background : Hypertension is a non- communicable disease that is one of the main causes of premature death in the world. The World health Organization (WHO) estimates that in 2025 there will be an increase in hypertension cases by around 80%, in 2000 from 639 million cases to 1.5 billion cases. Hypertension is the third leading cause of death in Indonesia for all ages. In 2015, surveys showed that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men suffer from hypertension. Less than 1 in 5 people have hypertension that is well controlled and more than 9 million deaths are related to hypertension Objective : This study aims to determine the characteristics of hypertensive patients in Loa Bakung Community Health Center. The characteristics referred to gender, age, BMI, hypertension degree, and sub district. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The method used is descriptive, with a total sampling technique of 251 people. Results : The study results showed that 80 (31.9%) were male patients with hypertension, while 171 (68.1%) were female. There were 146 adult patients aged 18-59 (58.2%), and 105 elderly patients (41.8%) aged over 60 years. There were 96 hypertensive patients with a normal BMI (38.2%), 98 overweight patients (39%), and 57 obese patients (22.7%). The number of patients with normal hypertension (after regular treatment) was 67 (26.7%), 53 pre-hypertension patients (21.1%), 94 grade I hypertension patients (37.5%), and 37 grade II hypertension patients (14.7%). Patients who live in Loa Bakung sub-district are 220 (87.6%), Loa Buah sub-district 21 (8.4%), other sub-districts 10 (4%). Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The conclusion is that based on gender, there are more female patients than male patients, more adult hypertension patients (aged 15-59 years) than elderly patients, and more overweight patients have a BMI than other nutritional statuses. The number of hypertension patients with grade 1 hypertension is higher. Most hypertension patients who seek treatment at the Loa Bakung Community Health Center live in the Loa Bakung sub-district.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period of growth marked by increased nutritional needs and heightened susceptibility to health problems. This study aimed to analyze the nutritional and health status of adolescents and their determinants.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 47 tenth-grade students at SMAN 9 Berau, recruited through total sampling method. The data collected included anthropometry, blood pressure, hemoglobin levels, and urine tests. Behavioral and psychological factors were assessed using standardized questionnaires: nutrition knowledge, dietary intake (1×24-hour recall and food frequency), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, screen time, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. Data were analyzed descriptively and using chi-square tests.Results: Most adolescents had a normal nutritional status (78%); however, a dual burden of malnutrition persisted, with undernutrition and overweight or obesity affecting over one-fifth of the participants. Dehydration was highly prevalent (89%) and was accompanied by significant cardiometabolic risks, including prehypertension (32%) and chronic energy deficiency risk (38%). Although the overall energy intake was adequate, the insufficient intake of key micronutrients, particularly protein, iron, and folate, remained common. Behavioral and psychosocial vulnerabilities were also prominent, with excessive screen time, poor sleep quality, and notable levels of stress and depression reported by more than half of the respondents. BMI-for-age was significantly associated with blood pressure, chronic energy deficiency risk, and nutritional knowledge (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Despite a predominantly normal nutritional status, adolescents remain at risk of  the double burden of malnutrition, anemia, and micronutrient deficiencies. Strengthening school-based nutrition programs, including regular health screening, practical nutrition education, and improved access to micronutrient support through fortified foods or supplements, is essential for preventing long-term health problems.
