Abstract

In Kendal Regency, the prevalence of Diabetes mellitus reached 2.8% in 2021, higher than the average for Central Java province. An unhealthy lifestyle in coastal areas, including lack of physical activity and consumption of foods high in sugar, as well as exposure to air pollution, has the potential to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Previous studies have shown a relationship between environmental factors and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the results have varied. This study aims to explore the effect of residence in coastal areas and industrial areas on the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Kendal Regency. With a deeper understanding of these factors, it is hoped that methods can be obtained to prevent and overcome type 2 diabetes mellitus in the area. This study was to analyze the effect of proximity to the beach and industrial areas on the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Kendal Regency. This study used observational analytics with a cross-sectional research design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Univariate and bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square test. Significant results were obtained based on the Chi-Square test on the effect of residence in coastal areas and industrial areas on the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus with a p-value of 0.000 ( p-value <0.05). This study shows the effect of proximity to the beach and industrial areas on the incidence of diabetes mellitus in Kendal Regency.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the relationships between age, salt consumption, coastal proximity, and hypertension risk in populations along the northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia, addressing a significant gap in understanding environmental determinants of hypertension in coastal communities. Methodology: A cross-sectional study analyzed 4,699 patient records from the Integrated Health Post information system in Cepiring Subdistrict, Kendal Regency, Central Java during May-July 2024. Variables examined included age, blood pressure readings, self-reported salt consumption, and coastal proximity (measured as distance from village boundary to coastline). Bivariate analysis using Chi-Square tests and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression were performed to identify associations and independent risk factors. Results: The study revealed significant associations between all examined factors and hypertension. Advanced age (≥50 years) increased hypertension risk (aOR 1.463; p<0.001). Living within 147 meters of the coastline unexpectedly demonstrated a protective effect (aOR 0.773; p=0.009). Excessive salt consumption showed the strongest association with hypertension (aOR 4.365; p<0.001), presenting a four-fold increased risk compared to moderate or low consumption. Applications/Originality/Value: This study provides novel insights into the paradoxical protective effect of coastal proximity on hypertension risk while confirming the significant impact of age and salt consumption. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions addressing dietary management and hypertension prevention, particularly among older populations. The unexpected protective role of coastal proximity warrants further investigation into potential environmental or lifestyle factors unique to coastal communities that might mitigate hypertension risk.
