Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that commonly occurs among the elderly. This condition poses a risk of causing serious complications if left untreated. This study aims to analyze the relationship between gender, education level, and body mass index (BMI) with the incidence of hypertension in the elderly within the working area of Gunungsari Public Health Center, West Lombok Regency. The study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 108 respondents were selected using cluster random sampling. Data were collected through interviews, blood pressure measurements, as well as weight and height assessments. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test to examine the relationship between gender, education level, and BMI with the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. The study results revealed a significant relationship between education level and gender with hypertension, while BMI showed no significant relationship. Elderly individuals with low education levels and high BMI were at greater risk of developing hypertension. These findings have important implications for designing hypertension prevention and management programs, particularly for high-risk elderly populations.

Abstract

This study examines the determination of the fishing season to support fishermen's activities on the western coast of Makassar City through the analysis of zonal winds. Wind is a crucial meteorological element, influenced by its direction and speed. Coastal wind patterns differ from those in open seas due to the interaction between land and sea breezes. As Makassar City is located in a coastal area, many of its residents work as fishermen whose activities are significantly influenced by weather conditions. Weather information plays a critical role in ensuring optimal fishing outcomes and improving safety for fishermen before they venture to sea. This research was conducted on the western coast of Makassar City using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative analysis involved windrose diagrams to identify wind trends and bar charts to analyze rainfall patterns, while qualitative analysis employed questionnaires with 46 respondents. The findings indicate that zonal wind data from the study area cannot reliably determine the fishing season due to the local influence of land-sea wind interactions, which disrupt the monsoonal wind patterns. However, weather conditions were found to have a significant impact on fishing activities, with a Likert scale score of 89.86%, indicating a strong influence. Seasonal weather information enhances fishermen’s safety, guides the selection of fishing gear, and increases catch yields. Therefore, providing reliable seasonal weather information is essential for supporting fishing activities on the western coast of Makassar City.
