Abstract

Hypertension remains a major global public health problem, particularly among the elderly. This study aims to analyze the correlation between daily sodium intake and systolic blood pressure in older adults with essential hypertension. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 127 elderly respondents using a validated Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) to assess daily sodium intake and a calibrated Omron HEM-7121 digital sphygmomanometer to measure systolic blood pressure. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed a significant positive correlation between daily sodium intake and systolic blood pressure (r = 0.423; p < 0.001). Respondents who consumed more than 4000 mg of sodium per day tended to have systolic blood pressure above 160 mmHg. This finding suggests that excessive sodium intake contributes significantly to elevated systolic pressure in elderly individuals with essential hypertension. The study highlights the urgent need for sodium reduction interventions tailored to the elderly population as part of community-based hypertension control programs.

Abstract

Shellfish are an important source of nutrition for coastal communities but may also pose potential health risks if consumed excessively. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between shellfish consumption and blood pressure as well as cardiovascular profile among coastal communities. Methods: This research employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of coastal residents aged 25–60 years, with a total sample of 135 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The independent variable was shellfish consumption, while the dependent variable was blood pressure. Data were collected through structured interviews and blood pressure measurement using a sphygmomanometer. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test for categorical associations and Spearman correlation for continuous variables. Results showed a significant relationship between frequency of shellfish consumption and blood pressure (p < 0.05), indicating that moderate shellfish consumption was associated with a more stable blood pressure profile. Conclusion: Shellfish consumption may provide cardiovascular benefits; however, the frequency and quantity of intake should be carefully considered to avoid hypertension risks due to high sodium content.
