Key result

Older age and obesity are linked to higher hypertension risk in outpatients.

P=0.012 (age), 0.031 (obesity)
n=35

Why the study?

Hypertension is a major cardiovascular disorder causing serious complications, and factors associated with its incidence in outpatients at Poliklinik Interna BPKD RSU Andi Makkasau Parepare were not well identified.

Do age, obesity, and smoking habits correlate with the incidence of hypertension in outpatients?

Key Points

To determine the demographic and behavioral factors associated with the occurrence of hypertension among outpatients at an internal medicine clinic.
Observational cross-sectional analytical study conducted at RSUD Andi Makkasau in Parepare, Indonesia.
Assessed demographic and lifestyle variables across outpatient attendees (N=35) using Chi-Square statistical testing.
Age older than 35 years (p = 0.012) and obesity (p = 0.031) were significantly associated with the incidence of hypertension.
Smoking history showed no statistically significant association with hypertension status (p = 0.388).

Do age, obesity, and smoking habits correlate with the incidence of hypertension in outpatients?

Population

35 outpatients at an internal medicine clinic in Indonesia, evaluated to identify sociodemographic and lifestyle risk factors associated with hypertension.

Exposure

Risk factors (age, obesity, smoking habits)

Outcome

Incidence of hypertension

Main Result

p-value: p=0.012 (age), 0.031 (obesity)

Older age (>35 years) and obesity are significant risk factors for hypertension in this outpatient clinic cohort.

Limitations

Very small sample size (N=35).
Cross-sectional design limits causal inference.
Discrepancy in the reported p-value for smoking between the abstract (p=0.388) and the results section (p=0.026).

Implication

May guide targeted hypertension screening in older/obese outpatients; leaves open confirmation in larger prospective studies.

Abstract

Menurut World Health Organization (WHO, 2021), hipertensi merupakan gangguan sistem kardiovaskular yang terjadi ketika tekanan darah terhadap dinding arteri terlalu tinggi, yang dalam jangka panjang dapat menyebabkan berbagai komplikasi serius, seperti penyakit jantung, stroke, gagal ginjal, dan gangguan penglihatan . Penelitian ini bertujuan Untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian hipertensi pada pasien rawat jalan di Poliklinik Interna BPKD RSU Andi Makkasau Parepare. Jenis penelitian Penelitian ini menggunakan desain analitik observasional dengan pendekatan potong lintang (cross-sectional). Desain ini dipilih untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian hipertensi pada pasien rawat jalan di Poliklinik Interna BPKD RSU Andi Makkasau Parepare dalam periode tertentu). Hasil penelitian Penelitian yang dilakukan di RSUD Andi Makkasau, Kota Parepare, melibatkan 35 responden. Mayoritas responden berjenis kelamin laki-laki, berusia di atas 35 tahun, dan mengalami obesitas. Lebih dari separuh responden menderita hipertensi. Hasil uji Chi-Square menunjukkan bahwa usia (p = 0,012) dan obesitas (p = 0,031) berhubungan signifikan dengan kejadian hipertensi, sedangkan kebiasaan merokok tidak berhubungan signifikan (p = 0,388).
