Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the main priorities in the world of health. As the world population soars, deaths from NCDs will increase every year. Globally, there are 41 million cases or the equivalent of 74% of deaths caused by NCDs every year. This research is a type of quantitative research with a cross-sectional type of research conducted on a group of fisherman in Paluh Sibaji Village. This research was carried out on September 21 2023. The population in this research was all fisherman in Paluh Sibaji Village, totaling 200 hundred fisherman. The sampling method used in this research was convenience sampling with a total of 60 fisherman respondents. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence fisherman's blood pressure on the incidence of hypertension (HTN). This research uses multiple linear regression analysis and application analysis using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences tools. The significance value of the consumption pattern, knowledge and attitude variables is below p<0.05, so it can be concluded that consumption pattern, knowledge and attitude influence the incidence of HTN among fisherman in Paluh Sibaji village. This study revealed that the majority of respondents, especially those belonging to the risk group, had experienced HTN. Age at risk was found to have a 2.26% higher likelihood of developing HTN. A large number of respondents showed poor consumption patterns, good knowledge, negative attitudes, and poor behavior regarding HTN prevention. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions and awareness campaigns to address these factors and reduce the risk of HTN in the studied population. It is recommended that further research discuss more broadly the factors that can influence the increase in blood pressure in fisherman and conduct a detailed food recall to assess the impact of consumption on HTN. Keywords: Attitude, Consumption pattern , Fisherman, HTN,  Knowledge

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic condition that results in stunted growth of children under five due to malnutrition for a long time. The objective of this study is to analyze the factors associated with the occurrence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara Province in the year 2021. An ecological approach is employed in this study, utilizing secondary data obtained from the 2021 East Nusa Tenggara Province Health Profile report. This research was conducted from January to March 2023. Analysis was carried out on a total of 22 districts/cities, with a population of 388,760 toddlers which included the entire sample size, namely toddlers with stunting incidents totaling 81,354 toddlers. The main variable predicted is the proportion of stunted toddlers. Predictor variables consist of the percentage of ANC visits, the proportion of LBW history and the percentage of exclusive breastfeeding. Bivariate analysis involved the utilization of cross-tabulation to examine the relationships between variables. The results of the study show that the prevalence of stunting status in toddlers is in the moderate category (16.04-24.07%). This happened as the coverage of ANC visits in districts/cities was in the low category (40.0-61.6%), history of LBW in districts/cities was in the low category (3.0-6.6%) and breastfeeding exclusively in districts/cities that are in the high category (65.67-93.0%). Stunting among toddlers in the province of East Nusa Tenggara in 2021 is in the moderate category along with ANC visits in districts/cities which are in the low category, history of LBW in districts/cities is in the low category and exclusive breastfeeding in districts/cities is also in the low category. To accelerate stunting prevention in Indonesia, it is essential to have synchronized efforts in planning, implementation, and monitoring at all government levels, including villages. The active involvement of all stakeholders is crucial in achieving this goal. Keyword: Community nutrition, Ecological analysis, Secondary data, Stuned
